March 10th SAT Discussion

<p>what's TER iin77? LOL. gosh I'm dumb when it comes to math.</p>

<p>Keane - I don't remember. I thought the answer was a number, not a word?</p>

<p>Spiffy, there was no way to directly find the code for WATER. You had to use process of elimination. First, the numbers corresponding to T, E, and R were already given in the SECRET CODE, a fact which eliminated one of the answer choices. Then, you had to realize that if the first two numbers in a particular answer choice corresponded to any of the letters in SECRET CODE, then the answer choice couldn't possibly be right, since W and A don't appear in the words SECRET and CODE. There was only one choice that satisfied all these conditions.</p>

<p>The answer to the WATER was choice D if it helps...</p>

<p>Wasn't the one with the net and which would fold to make a closed box B?</p>

<p>Dunno about the net, but the folding box one was A</p>

<p>okay does rachel carson ring a bell? I think this was my expiremental?</p>

<p>Thanks lobgent! I was clearly burned out by that time and had no will to figure it out lol.</p>

<p>rachel carson?...didn't have that one. that was your experimental, pall.</p>

<p>Where they graw you a shape and ask if they can fold it into a box? I'm almost positive it was B. GR. Another wrong?</p>

<p>That wasn't experimental either. Atgh.</p>

<p>haha the sad part is that i dont even remember if rachel carson was a writing or reading. im really done with this test.</p>

<p>hey does anyone remember the context for appalling/lurid bc im pretty sure i put that but forgot alot over night</p>

<p>The folding box was A.</p>

<p>slipkn0t, it WAS apalling...lurid.</p>

<p>that's what I put too</p>

<p>yes spiffy but what was the context of the ?</p>

<p>Nowadays, people are so used to sensational news stories that even the most <em>lurid</em> stories fail to <strong>apall</strong> them, or SOMETHING like that. :]</p>

<p>it was dealing with newsreporters and how society isn't appalled at the lurid articles.</p>

<p>Slipknot, something like:</p>

<p>"Television user are so used to sensational news these days that they are not even ...appalled... by the most ...lurid... of stories."</p>

<p>yeahhhhh :)))) I remember that one</p>

<p>Can someone refresh my memory about the "presumptuous...venturing" question? What was the exact sentence?</p>

<p>The new member, not wanting to seem ... presumptuous ..., refrained from ...venturing... criticism of the boss's new plan.</p>

<p>yea...i canceld my score...bye bye math 800</p>
