International Official SAT 2013 November Discussion

<p>I chose the answer “to delete it”</p>

<p>BTW. November International SAT is exactly same as June 2011 U.S. SAT.

Just read the link on the top and YOU’LL SEE EXACTLY THE SAME TEST AS TODAY.

CollegeBoard. Please. You guys don’t even give a **** about people who are taking unfair advantages of the SAT like some Korean private “academies” already knew that 2006 June U.S. SAT is gonna be 2011 November international test.
I once heard that making one SAT official test takes a fortune to make. SO? DOES THAT MEAN INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS GET A RECYCLED VERSION OF A PAST U.S. TEST? Can’t a company CB which is actually part of ETS spend more budget on making a separate international version?
For October international test it was even worse. A March U.S. test was used exactly the same and there have not been ANY official investigation of police and **** on Korean academies because of “lack of evidence.” Then CollegeBoard should truly make a NEW one rather than picking up an old paper from CB database.
Get your **** together. Even preschoolers can manage a test better than you guys.
I know that I’m not allowed to use such language but this is just outright stupidity of CB. Just outrageous.</p>

<p>*btw i meant CB as in CollegeBoard, not the chinese insult word. :)</p>

<p>BoB indeed, someone even got the answers before taking the test. Bravo. Money indeed can buy everything</p>

<p>Why is the answer for the pen/pencil question 1.6? I said 1.4.</p>

<p>(1pc + 2pc)/2 = 1.4</p>

<p>1pc corresponds to 2pn and 2pc corresponds to 1pn thus when calculating the pen average the following</p>

<p>(2pn + 1pn)/2 surely equals 1.4…</p>

<p>The abundance of the pens and pencils are proportional to each other.</p>

<p>Didn’t anyone choose bitterness for the indian girl passage?
I struggled a lot between that and sadness but finally picked bitterness.
Anyone please:)</p>

<p>Diluvio,
You need to calculate the ratio of students who have 1p 2 pc to the those who have 2p 1 pc
Then you can calculate the arithmetic average</p>

<p>The November test was already cancelled in Korea.
Usually there might be some timezone cheating involved but most of it’s luck - “Oh, I’ve taken this as a practice test before”</p>

<p>Already cancelled? Oh my</p>

<p>@Benjamin: I was afraid of that, I thought it was a reasoning question so I didn’t want to go into the algebra if it wasn’t necessary.</p>

<p>More thorough inspection will lead to a better course of action…aah hindsight. </p>

<p>I calculated the mean and it came to 1.6.</p>

<p>Are all answers on the June 2011 topic correct?</p>

<p>How do you do the cumulative April question? I evaluate April / (sum of six months) and the result is about 18%. Why is the answer 10%?</p>

<p>Cumulative means the numbers on the chart is already the sum of the previous months. So by calculating April’s number, all you need to do is subtract all the trees of March from April. Since the total number of trees is 1224, so it is approximately 122/1224 =10%</p>

<p>In the question asking which sum is the maximum, is there a condition for x? I remember 2 options: -x^2 + 2 and -(x+2)^2+(-2)^2. They cannot be compared without the sign of x.</p>

<p>-x^2+2
Because it is a parabola upside down. The constant integer is the y-axis intercept. So all you need to do is compare the intercept which leaves us to choice A</p>

<p>took in in canada</p>

<p>pretty sure it’s not unearned credibillity–idk why everyone’s saying this.</p>

<p>The passage was talking about how cyber gossips are things that can be spread rapidly unlike oral gossips.</p>

<p>There was really nothing mentioning credibility, and even if we could kind of get the hint from tone, it was more not credible than credible.</p>

<p>The answer choice should have been</p>

<p>unearned disbelief, not unearned credibility–who earns credibility from online gossips? LOL…</p>

<p>I forgot what answer I put, but it’s definitely not that.</p>

<p>Can you be more specific, benjamin8451?
If x=8 then -x^2+2 = -62 > -96 = -(x+2)^2 + (-2)^2
If x=-7 then -x^2 + 2 = - 47 < -21 = -(x+2)^2+(-2)^2</p>

<p>I also picked -x^2+2. But now that I have thought of it there must be some conditions for x.</p>

<p>Nope it was asking the maximum of the following functions. The maximum of -x^2+2 is 2 when x=0, likewise you can see all the maximum of other answer choices.</p>

<p>Got at least -4 on math, ***.</p>

<p>ssd,
I got at least one, that triangle one trapped me. Fxck</p>

<p>Oh so I misread the question. Luckily I still got the right answer. A right? :D</p>

<p>Regarding the windmill passages, how do you think P2 would react to P1? Is it “guarded optimism” or “emphatic disagreement?”</p>

<p>If I were the author of P2, I would be … guardedly optimistic “oh, so windmill can be beautiful, too? good thing. but let me check first”.
However, my SAT experience tells me that the answer can only be either agreement or disagreement. Never something so vague in between. So I pick emphatic disagreement :D</p>
