<p>What were the other choices for the TV question? </p>
<p>I answered 15.</p>
<p>it was prob either disdained or resigned</p>
<p>The other choices are resigned, ambivalent, defiant and … (I forgo what it is) It shouldn’t be resigned or ambivalent. So one of the 2 disdain and defiant is correct. The remaining one, I think, is positive so it’s incorrect.</p>
<p>The author says he hates sitting in a car as he doesnt want to watch the scene thru a “TV”. So im pretty sure that his attitude towards TV should be either disdain or defiant</p>
<p>And about a question involving the first short (dual) passage (one says our life cant be put into novels and one says how the writers put the life into biographies)- it asks what’s the difference between the 2 passages. I chose one is about the subjects of biographies and one is about the biographies. I remember one other choice is: one passage is about novelist and the other is about biographers. Cant recall the remaining choices.
About the passage concerning the old encyclopedia . 1 question asks about the passage’s main idea- I chose: the author talks about his pastime to make certain observations, as he describes his habit of reading the old encyclopedia and talks about things such as how future generations replace the information and blah blah blah. Also, 1 question is about the author’s attitude towards the literary information in the encyclopedia. Im sure that the author thinks the literary information is old (as indicated in the passage) but im not sure about my choice: I chose: excessively narrowed and biased. 1 likely answer choice: elegantly written but… (something resembles old or something) but I couldn’t find where it says elegantly written so i put it excessively… What do you guys think?</p>
<p>@zdragon123…i’m pretty sure its 21…i wasted most of time sitting and counting all the points!</p>
<p>I think it’s like this:
From -3 to 3 there’re 7 integers: -3,-3,-2,0,1,2,3 (These are x-coordinates)
From -2 to 2 there’re 5 integers: -2,-1,0,1,2 (These are y-coordinates)
As we have to eliminate all the points that are ON the rectangular so the points with x-coordinate=3 or -3 and y-coordinate=-2 or 2 should be eliminated.
So what left are:
x-coordinate: -2,-1,0,1,2
y-coordinate: -1,0,1
So there are: 5x3=15 points that have integer coordinates and are INSIDE the rectangular</p>
<p>For the motorcycle passage, attitude towards TV question,
I put disdain.</p>
<p>For the byzantine passage, author thinks of them as question,
I put close-knit.</p>
<p>For the biography passage, difference in passage question,
I put “one passage is about a particular subject of biographies while the other is about biographies in general.”</p>
<p>For the biography passage, first author of one would respond to the other’s question,
I put B: “Biographers do not attempt to make exact recreations of their subjects’ lives.”
Another choice I remember is C: “Biographers do not use any fictional techniques.”</p>
<p>For the biography passage, second author of one would respond to the other’s question, I put “may distort the truth.” Other choices include “only happens rarely.”</p>
<p>For the giant squid passage, author would consider film of quid question, I put “loss as well as a gain.” Another choice was “deplorable occurrence.”</p>
<p>For the braces improving paragraph, replace “things” question,
I put “unsightly contraptions.”</p>
<p>For the braces improving paragraph, remove unnecessary sentence question,
I put the choice saying “Tom Cruise’s braces are expensive… it takes a lot of courage for a star like him to admit a physical flaw.”</p>
<p>For the distance from river question,
I put 2.3.</p>
<p>For the points in rectangle question,
I put 15.</p>
<p>For vocabulary,
I remember spate, placate, venturesome, lugubrious, pristine…deterred/inaccessible…thwarted, innocuous, topographic, malaise.</p>
<p>For finding error questions:
For the “queen/Sir Raleigh” question, I put “E: No Error”.
For the “students choose majors/anticipate” question, I put “D: field”, which in context was “…they anticipate receiving in their selected field.”
For the “employee/managers/they” question, I put “they.”</p>
<p>I just got here and this is a very useful thread that I’m grateful for. I understand I repeated much of what was already said, and I’m sorry for that.</p>
<p>I thought the coordinate question asked how many points there were inside the rectangle NOT counting the origin (0,0)… In that case, the answer would be 14. I might be wrong though.</p>
<p>@zdragon123…yeah…your right…i tried using a graph paper now…ahh…this is bad!!</p>
<p>The rectangle question was indeed 15, as it asked you for the coords inside it (including the origin).</p>
<p>Man… I have a vivid memory of the question telling us to ignore the origin for some reason. Oh well.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly, that was a multiple-choice question. Was 14 an option?</p>
<p>Yea, it was a multiple choice question. I’m pretty sure 14 was an option, and I remember that my answer to that had a 4 in it. Either my imagination conjured up a part to the question where the origin was to be ignored, or I could possibly be right :P</p>
<p>I don’t think 14 was an option, the options were
8
15
21
28… something something</p>
<p>14 was definitely not an answer.
The first was 8, then 15, etc.</p>
<p>does anybody have any official conformation on which section was the experimental one??</p>
<p>Meh, guess my memory’s a bit faulty.
@manav: I’m pretty sure the experimental was the Williams one, section 3. That’s what most people seem to have agreed upon… Haven’t seen official confirmation yet though.</p>
<p>Hopefully it isn’t. That section was pretty easy, imo.</p>
<p>Seemed to be oddly placed, being the 3rd section, and I remember some of the questions were a bit different from usual SAT style. Don’t rely on my opinion alone, though.
Does anyone else remember getting about 5 No Error answers in section 3, and around 3 or 4 No Errors in section 6? I thought they were a bit too much…</p>
