June 2009 SAT INTERNATIONAL

<p>ah geez! was the impasse one a easy question? maybe i do not remember putting it cuz it was Soooo easy… please…lol… i still don’t get the cautious vs. derisive - laudatory… maybe you guys are right, tho.</p>

<p>can anyone explain why the answer for the negotiation question (sentence completion) is not reconciliation-insuperable?</p>

<p>it makes no sense to say the reconcillation wasnt overcome/resolved
it makes more sense to say that the deadlock(or the conflict) wasnt overcome/resolved</p>

<p>ah! I do think i put impasse one for the answer too! any more controversial/difficult/memorable CR Qs? especially the last page of the lawyer passage</p>

<p>for the one where he was talking about his dad wanting to be a painter</p>

<p>one of the answers was “a watershed event in his life”</p>

<p>i just looked up what watershed meant(important division) so yeah i think its right… but seriously… id like to comment on the word WATERSHED… who the HELL uses that lmao</p>

<p>Pretty sure the watershed answer was the right one. The others didn’t relate to the passage correctly. </p>

<p>And I’ve heard the term watershed used before :stuck_out_tongue: its just beyond uncommon anyway</p>

<p>UGHH
i think i got the spanish exploreres sentence completion wrogn as well
i put triage
but i think it was triumvirate? or however u spell it </p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>Yeah triumvirate. I remembered that term from studying Julius Caesar and the triumvirate that formed after his death.</p>

<p>Triage is a medical term.</p>

<p>for math, does anyone remember which section the plumber question was in? like first, second, third…or last? was it in a dummy section?</p>

<p>for the CR section with the scientist,
one question was that she contrasts smth with ABCDE. is it “the seafloor?”
and the last question with “concede a point” “critique an approach” “…troubles” what did you guys put?</p>

<p>i put concede a point</p>

<p>what do you guys think the curve would be like?</p>

<p>wasn’t vocab unusually hard for this month’s CR?</p>

<p>and i put </p>

<p>watershed event in his life.</p>

<p>and for the analogy one, i chose</p>

<p>musician who got impressed by a good piece of music or something…</p>

<p>Yeah I think I put concede a point.</p>

<p>CR was pretty hard, in particular the vocabulary. Hopefully there will be a generous curve.</p>

<p>EDIT: I also put the musician one</p>

<p>math</p>

<ul>
<li>if you fail, you must not have studied</li>
<li>t+u < 8</li>
<li>diagonal: 13</li>
<li>1.90 and 2.00 (i got 1.94)</li>
<li>lights 6</li>
<li>probability question 1/24</li>
<li>area of shaded region in the 3 circles ==> 10pi</li>

<li>white cars: 10%</li>
<li>(k-w)</li>
<li>expressing something in a term: -4a+19</li>
<li>2s+100</li>
</ul>

<p>i got 1 wrong so far…</p>

<p>CR</p>

<ul>
<li>Acknowledge alternate view.</li>
<li>he thought there was a subtle display of emotion which may or may not have been there</li>
<li>juror could be manipulated</li>
<li>fleeting (?)</li>
<li>fecund </li>
<li>derisive - laudatory</li>
<li>exaggerated - libelous</li>

<li>a watershed event in his life</li>
<li>analogy: musician who got impressed by a good piece of music or something</li>
<li>the seafloor</li>
<li>concede a point</li>
</ul>

<p>PEOPLE, PLEASE EDIT / UPDATE THIS LIST</p>

<p>Which was the experimental section on the math?</p>

<p>ahhh i hate myself…I think I changed another CR question to the wrong answer… T_T
what was the last question to the Ocean passage? The one with the “diversity of species” or sumthing on the ocean floor. Was it A) Concede a point or B) Describe an obstacle?? (or neither haha)</p>

<p>HELP EDITZ :)</p>

<p>Oh another thing, I just saw the list Laure327 posted…</p>

<p>about the “k-w” question…are you sure it’s that? Is that the marble question? I thought the kid gained “w” marbles and lost k marbles…so it was (w-K) o_O</p>

<p>I thought the answer would be m+w…because,you need a positive answer.(no.of marbles can’t be negative).For m+w,you would always get positive</p>
