June 4 2011 SAT Reasoning Post-Test Discussion

<p>It did make him feel drowsy, but the blank was referring to the tryptophan. not the serotonin.</p>

<p>And what was the answer to the two circles with the radius 6 and radius 8, with the triangle inscribed in between in it? By the way, in addition to 4 as the grid-in ‘nk’ answer, 0 works also.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think we do win on that question. :)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>99% sure it’s hopeful. I remember that passage vividly.</p>

<p>The question with the answer that I guessed on had 32 as an answer (and I know E was 72), it had something to do with a triangle. Past that I can’t remember…</p>

<p>It was def sophoric, it means drowsy same effect as melatonin…</p>

<p>I remember 18 degrees for one</p>

<p>No, 18 degrees was a different one.</p>

<p>Jake and decrescendo, I see where you guys are coming from, makes sense</p>

<p>^Yeah, I see where you’re coming from too. I spent a little while on that one, but decided that because the thing being referred to was something doing “stimulating,” catalyst would be the more correct answer.</p>

<p>Hmm… I don’t remember that one. I know I already asked this one, but what was the one where there were four races, one 20m, one 40m, one “x” m, and one 270m? I think I may have read the question wrong, but I put 120. (it was a question about averages)</p>

<p>Yeah and the Indian passage i put hopeful too. What did you guys put fr the one where she said she didn’t want to live two separate lives ?</p>

<p>Soporific is clearly the answer for the turker-tryptophan question.</p>

<p>Soporific: tending to induce drowsiness or sleep</p>

<p>The turkey caused people to become drowsy. Thus, it is a natural “_____”.</p>

<p>It’s not 120, I think it was 180 or something…so how does this SAT rank difficulty wise 1-10 overall?</p>

<p>A soporific is a chemical that induces sleepiness. They wouldn’t expect you to know all the extra science stuff for that simple question with the word “drowsiness” clearly written. It has to be soporific.</p>

<p>I put for the Indian one that she “felt partly responsible for the” separate lives things because of the previous sentence</p>

<p>Yeah that’s what I put</p>

<p>If it has been phrased like that "Thus, it is a natural “_____” then you would have been correct. However, it was phrased so that it was referring to the tryptophan, which is a natural catalyst.
There is nothing scientific about it, the blank was obviously referring to the tryptophan.</p>

<p>did anyone get the question about the 80km & 4 more km after each day?</p>

<p>Did genuine mean heartfelt or hopeful? </p>

<p>And for the writing section, fixing the sentences one, what was the answer to the blahblah war, ____ one? I put the one with the architects liking classical architecture more…</p>

<p>when do we get test results?</p>
