March 10th SAT Discussion

<p>yes i had two math in a row.
okay YAY im happier now bc
my math was not looking too bright
thanks =)</p>

<p>In the short passage about rachel carson, silent spring, what was her book described as? An unscientific account that expressed her love of nature or a watershed movement in public awareness? i said the watershed thing. I couldn't choose between those two, though, only perhaps that the thing about unscientific account.. it didn't say the book specifically was unscientific right?</p>

<p>I don't think I had watershed or whatever you just said.</p>

<p>And the last question in Chinese passage. One about "putting stinky gifts and her mother will realize that she won't need another daughter" what did you guys put?</p>

<p>I put "need to prove her adequacy as daughter"</p>

<p>About the boy and the communications passage:</p>

<p>There was a question about the purpose of the second paragraph, three choices were shed light on a preoccupation, contrast him with his father, demonstrate his view of different cultures or something like that. What did you guys get? I think I picked the shed light on a preoccupation</p>

<p>Also, what did you put about the general purpose of that passage? (I don't remember the answer choices) </p>

<p>Also the "discovery", what did you guys put for the word to replace it? An exciting revelation or a scientific breakhthrough?</p>

<p>topasz: </p>

<p>i think the rachel carson one was experimental because I didn't have that one.</p>

<p>menuetto:</p>

<p>i put "an exciting revelation"</p>

<p>shed light. </p>

<p>revelation. Definitely not a scientific breakthrough.</p>

<p>menuetto i put revelation
i dont remember the other answers</p>

<p>grayfalcon, i agree with you on the adequacy choice for chinese.
I agree on "Revelation" not "breakthrough"</p>

<p>i had an experimental reading section, do people know whether the experimental reading had the rachel carson passage or was that a regular section??</p>

<p>Never heard of Rachel Carson in my life so it was experimental.</p>

<p>was the answer to the first Q on boy+radio "insular" (maybe it was second Q)</p>

<p>thank god about the experimental, i have no clue what a "watershed movement" is, just put it because it sounds good to me.</p>

<p>no rachel carson</p>

<p>one question had insolar and volatile
i think it put insolar
but im not sure</p>

<p>I got insular.</p>

<p>read my cons. ans. and contribute plz!!</p>

<p>The whales passage has been established as experimental right? THere was a question that referred to the passage with a quote that was like.... "from time to time" what does that mean? i put that it shows their lack of opportunity to observe whales. but there was no support for that choice in the rest of the passage (or for any other of the choices i felt). the other answer i considered was that the scientists were getting impatient but i decided that it didn't really say anything about impatience.</p>

<p>um, didn't you guys sign an agreement that you would discuss this OVER THE INTERNET? There goes that</p>

<p>I didn't have a whale passage. Must be experimental.</p>

<p>I think the hardest part may have been rewriting the declaration in cursive on the back lol. I haven't written in cursive since about kindergarten and I don't think anyone else in the class had either.</p>

<p>crap... I got the tom cruise one as "criticism of the Hollywood system", cause I saw both passages were citing him to attack the system</p>

<p>what did you say for the one that was like which statement, if true, would most undermine the author's point about commercialized radio? i said it is hard to obtain a license</p>
