<p>i clearly remembered for the last qn to the ocean scientists i put obstacle. i think those lines quite clearly talked about the difficulty… tts what i remember…</p>
<p>What the two passages have in common/what the 2 authors agree on.</p>
<p>i think a lot of u have it confused
it never asked waht the AUTHORS thought about the jurors</p>
<p>it said what do the authors suggest PEOPLE think about jurors</p>
<p>and its easily manipulated… the entire 1st passage = easily manipulated… and the second paragraph of the second passage says ‘ohhh people think jurors are idiots’… so yeah lol</p>
<p>My bad. At least I got the answer right? :P</p>

<p>WHICH OF THESE MATH QUESTIONS WERE IN THE EXPERIMENTAL?</p>
<p>Can someone remind me what this question was:</p>
<p>Circle divided into sections; find x by substracting from 360 x=85</p>
<p>i think i remembered got ppl saying that the one with the “if you study, then you will not fail ==> (ans):if you fail, you must not have studied” is experimental…im not sure also…need ppl who got wr experimental to testify this …anybody got any idea?</p>
<p>For a Passage-based Qus: “curiously” is closest in meaning to “interestingly/outlandishly”
Why we chose “interestingly” not the other one? Both mean “strange, unusual, bizarre”
Does the context count??</p>
<p>I put “interestingly”. However, just want to grasp more thoroughly ^.</p>
<p>curious = odd</p>
<p>interestingly = odd</p>
<p>outlandishly = extremely odd</p>
<p>“extreme” sort of word so we dont pick it i think lol</p>
<p>Sorry if someone’s already posted this, but what did you guys think of the essay section?
This was my first time writing the SAT and I had trouble finding examples and writing out a coherent essay =P</p>
<p>So what did you guys all write about?
any tips for writing better essays?</p>
<p>oh isn’t it? lollz I once thought the right answer was “outlandishly” after lookin’ up its meaning and kept cursin’ myself for missing it (had only 2 left after POE but still got it wrong @.@ What a shame lol)</p>
<p>What 'bout a second-blanked SC including “inflammatory” in 1 of the 5 answers?? And this is the ques no.4 in the last CR section (sec 8?) lol this is all I can remember</p>
<p>exaggerated and libelous for that one ^^</p>
<p>^^Thats right :)</p>
<p>The bus driver passage: I vaguely remember the very first qus aking 'bout the feeling of one passenger (!) including answ choices like " ??? indignity"… Dang! Is that one asking about the BUS DRIVER and that I misread the Ques!! A Huge mistake!!! @.@</p>
<p>what about the 2 short passages on commerce, travel, fastfood chains, … Any ques ??
The Lawyer passages: spin = propose??? ( the other 4 are prolong, create, ??, ??)</p>
<p>
opps!! I should have left that one blank :-< An unlucky Buzzer-shot guess. Anw, thanks^</p>
<p>I put silent and dark too 
I was debating whether i should choose d) peacefulness anfd sth…
Or E)</p>
<p>I chose E) and that turns out to be the right
answer</p>
<p>Should we have the texts bold when we put changes into the summary?^</p>

<p>Improving Sentences~
**- … because they would require … OR … because they are requiring??? (wavered between these 2 choices and finally chose the former???) **</p>
<p>Identifying Sentence Errors~
-will be attaching –> would be attached
**- Despite having … (A) (There must be a noun following Despite, not V_ing)
- had fell –> had fallen (not sure if “fell” is the exact verb but there is one qus testing on Verb form)**</p>
<p>Improving Paragraphs~</p>
<p>(Essay about elevators)
- Add a sentence in the beginning of a paragraph: [the discovery] had long reaching impacts
- Last question: I think the sentence 11 should have been deleted.</p>
<p>(Essay about Shakespeare)
- shakespeare had a modern outlook?
-remove the sentence saying “bardologists” <a href=“is%20it%20Sentence%2011??”>B</a> - smt like “… we quote more from Shakespearean than we think”??? **</p>
<p>hmhanh ,</p>
<p>Improving Sentences~
- … because they would require … OR … because they are requiring??? (wavered between these 2 choices and finally chose the former???) </p>
<p>I put E - ‘‘as they are requiring’’ .I can even explain it .The sentence was like ''Space excursions (or sth like this) have not been arranged … as they are requiring a lot of money ‘’
Have not is a present perfect construction ; are requiring too .So this was the correct answer. </p>
<p>Just like the previous question ,which was sth like this</p>
<p>WHen John made some investment (whatever it was ) ,he wanted to be sure that he WOULD make some profit . </p>
<p>Made - would (past - past)
have been - are requiring (present - present )</p>
<hr>
<p>I also dont agree that ‘‘Despite having’’ is wrong.</p>
<ul>
<li>a graph qus: starts at a point from school and finishes at school ?? </li>
</ul>
<p>Dont agree : Starts at a point AWAY from the school and finishes at school .He started at about y=3 and finished at y = 0 .the y intercept showed the distance friom school .The x intercept showed the distance he passed</p>
<p>wht was the answer to the cr lay comparison passage bout author 2s response to author 1 ? was it that if lawyers present an illogical case the jury wont believe it ? sth like that…to do with logic… thts the only ne i wasnt sure about…</p>
