International Official SAT 2013 November Discussion

<p>Yes it is disagreement. Because the author thinks windmill spoils the scenery. However he/she conceded that it is acceptable only in some middle nowhere. (no offense)</p>

<p>Hey guys what’s the answer for the sad realization and self-doubt in the indian passage?
and I don’t get what’s the other choices for melancholy/sadness,bitterness?
Not sure if I chose the right answers</p>

<p>Author of passage 1 travels around, he has seem windmills in many different places and protests against their presence, I doubt one statement from Ap2 will bestow optimism, even the guarded kind, on the Ap1.</p>

<p>benjamin</p>

<p>for -x^2+2, the max value is when x= 0, y= 2
but for -(x-2)+(-2)^2 the max value is when x=2, y=4</p>

<p>so the answer is the latter.</p>

<p>@Sue1128</p>

<p>I put bitterness… How is it melancholy or sadness??</p>

<p>Whartonhopeful
Did it have an answer like that? I couldn’t recall. It seems to me the constant integer were (-2)^3, (-2)^5, -(2)^7 respectively. Couldn’t recall.</p>

<p>yep there was benjamin.</p>

<p>here are the answers actually. but i am not giving this answer on this page but it is my personal answer as well.</p>

<p>Then damn, got another wrong. I never ever got any single questions wrong on all my prep tests. This was unacceptable.</p>

<p>I will be ****ed if the answer is unearned credibility. Credibility is a virtue, a positive word. Neither the gossiping cyberspace not newspaper who flick the news from there are characterised as virtuous. So ssd, i dont see why it is unearned credibility.</p>

<p>I put inadequate for extreme. How is it extreme? Only if the second para explicitly defends teachers who censor, then extreme makes sense. Infact the second para only castogates people who censor as being biased etc.
familiar but undeserved? How undeserved?</p>

<p>er psych1</p>

<p>what is the inadequate/ extreme question? do you remember the question coz i cant seem to remember the question :L</p>

<p>Never mind fellas, this is arguably the toughest documented cr in recent sat memory.
I find that 57/67 is still 700 if the grading pattern is not changed from 2011 version.
I will be happy if you guys tell me how many no errors. I wrote a kickass essay and just want to nail writing.</p>

<p>It’s undeserved because in real life censors are concerned parents and teachers who truly believe it’s for the students’ good, rather than belligerent individuals trying to control everything to their advantage like in totalitarian governments. The latter would be a more familiar concept associated with the word censor.</p>

<p>Astoria, I agree with familiar but undeserved is vague for me. Undeserved means unworthy, which again would mean lack of substance. Passage 2 remarks nothing about the quality of arguments.
I dont see why i can use your own argument to defend, harsh and accurate. Passage 1 is harsh because it disregards concerned parents. Eventually it is accurate too because passage 2 and passage 1 both decry censorship.
This is compatible with the chronology of passage 2 which first addresses that passage 1 is harsh for being inconsiderate but in the last line of first para, passage 2 says “nevertheless censorship is ********” (paraphrase)</p>

<p>57/67= 700 for june 2011 USA paper?</p>

<p>57/67 means 8 wrong. I’ll be glad to take that curve. I did a superb job on the first two CR sections. The comparative passage penetrates me, and I think I may have got 4-5 wrong on that one. For my first take I can afford a 700-720 on CR</p>

<p>Undeserved probably just means “not warranted” or “unfair” here. The logic behind the question doesn’t go further than that.
The other questions I can’t quite remember.</p>

<p>Psych1,
I had 2 or 3 no errors. One was on the geese flying one I think, couldn’t remember the other 1 or 2.</p>

<p>What will be the curve for this test? I can’t seem to find any clear information about the June 2011 curve.</p>

<p>I had 2 N.Es. more worried about my essay now.</p>
