January 2011 SAT

<p>its definitely 2 inches.</p>

<p>30-22 =8
8/4=2</p>

<p>and if you make a line with the overlaps and do it correctly, you’ll see it does end up to 22:</p>

<hr>

<pre><code>------ -------
</code></pre>

<p>4+2+2+2+2+2+2+2+4 = 22</p>

<p>I spent SO much time thinking about this</p>

<p>hexagon problem was 61: the formula was:
number of hexagons = 6(term number) + (previous term)
so the sequence was:
1,7,19,37,61, …</p>

<p>for the writing, is
Were I not
correct?</p>

<p>the overlap one is definitely 2inch!30-22=8 8/4=2…</p>

<p>LiquidChaR</p>

<p>ah! i just realized my mistake. sorry about that. you’re right, it’s two inches, since when overlapped, they still make 2 inches. gotcha</p>

<p>oh the sum one was 50/51. it just was.</p>

<p>Yes, yes, and yes.
It’s the subjunctive “were” when used in speculations/situations where you’re hypothetically speaking. I forgot the exact rule, but yeah.</p>

<p>thank you! i havent found anything on this forum that i got wrong yet…
but i’m scared to hope</p>

<p>On the Error Identification part in the 35-question Writing Section, about how many “No Errors” did people get? Anyone remember? I vaguely remember getting 3 E’s.</p>

<p>Yeah, 3.
IIRC, 18, 20, and then another one.
The last one I put E at first, then I realized it was an idiomatic error. ^__^</p>

<p>“a defender of gate theory would most likely argue that the problem of ~ lies not in the theory but in
*—Scientific technology is inadequate.”</p>

<p>…lies not in theory but in diagnosis that cannot explain the patients’ pains.
That’s not the exact wording of my answer, but that was my choice.</p>

<p>@littlepenguin
The answer choice was modern technology was not adequate enough find the cause of the pain. Basically what you said was that the answer you picked was wrong, but at the same time your answer was right.</p>

<p>Derp. Not lies, I merely worded it differently.</p>

<p>TC here, The tribulation house passage killed me…</p>

<p>hey guys
i got 4 reading sections. is any of those experimental?</p>

<p>1st: baseball player’s age
2nd:Tribulation
3rd:writing for grandma
4th: pain</p>

<p>anyone know?</p>

<p>Haruku- I had those same 4, which everyone agrees aren’t experimental. Which isn’t possible…?</p>

<p>@icesk8girl and haruku – i think the brain passage and the baseball guy were the same section.</p>

<p>did you guys have a section that talked about crickets or koalas? that one is the one that is experimental.</p>

<p>I had the same reading ones ^^^</p>

<p>I had two CR back to back. That will indefinitely be the bane of my scores /:</p>

<p>Definitely not conscientious. It was self-satisfied because that specific paragraph’s tone is how proud she is of her abilities to imitate her grandmother and it was asking for her attitude/tone. I got the same for all those other things though.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember, in the writing section, a sentence about the Chunnel in Europe? I said that “one of the most” was wrong because I thought “one of the more” might be correct. I kind of took a chance with that one.</p>

<p>"The answer choice was modern technology was not adequate enough find the cause of the pain. Basically what you said was that the answer you picked was wrong, but at the same time your answer was right.</p>

<p>Derp. Not lies, I merely worded it differently."</p>

<p>I didn’t follow this. I didn’t word my post the best way, but basically, the answer I chose was: the new theory wasn’t the problem, but doctors’ inability to diagnose the cause of certain pains. I still believe it’s right.</p>

<p>The passage described how the theory can explain how supposedly painful stimuli isn’t necessarily perceived as pain by the patient, but it can’t yet explain what stimuli caused certain patients’ pain. Therefore, I inferred that doctors are unable to accurately diagnose these pains. I didn’t see how modern technology was strongly related to the passage. I can’t even remember if it was mentioned at all, so I must’ve considered it a minor point.</p>

<p>^ it was no error</p>

<p>Yeah, I was pretty sure it was. But I was doing pretty well so I thought I could take the hit if my suspicion was wrong.</p>
