March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>perplex meant to entangle, meaning to be busy</p>

<p>the experimental was the translations. the old woman passage was not experimental.</p>

<p>what was the actual question for the math section that the answer was 1600...it was no15 on the fill ins</p>

<p>No, they remembered her past acts of kindness; they just thought she had changed they saw her as a different person. So they recognized both their own kindnesses and hers. But, they showed more respect to themselves since they didnt even consider her past acts of kindness.</p>

<p>nothing about being busy. I definitely think it was trouble</p>

<p>how do you know the translations were experimental?</p>

<p>because not everyone had them.</p>

<p>anyone have the reading about a giant squid?</p>

<p>So let me get this straight. The curve is the translation from the raw score to the actually score (out of 800)? Different tests have different curves, because some are harder than others? Am I on track here?</p>

<p>perplex means to trouble in this case, since entangle has a negative connotation but we see that the woman enjoyed housework.</p>

<p>The people in the bar are more generous towards themselves than toward the woman. They did not forget the woman's kind deeds, the passage specifically mentioned that "any prior kindness on the woman's part only served to underline the changes she underwent" (paraphrased slightly)</p>

<p>How did you come to that conclusion</p>

<p>My free response answers:</p>

<h1>9 = 89</h1>

<h1>10 = 66.6</h1>

<h1>11 = 75</h1>

<h1>12 = 10</h1>

<h1>13 = 12</h1>

<h1>14 = 1/2</h1>

<h1>15 = 1600</h1>

<h1>16 = .625</h1>

<p>^^^ I agree with dualityim on those answers. And no reading on a giant squid.</p>

<p>but being more generous to themselves has absolutely nothing to do with the passage. that's what threw me.</p>

<p>what was the actual question for the math section that the answer was 1600...it was no15 on the fill ins</p>

<p>I thought everyone's test, whatever form it was, had an experimental section...? I didn't have this translations thing though.</p>

<p>agree on both points with dualityim.</p>

<p>What was the vocab question about the Mona Lisa
something along the lines of...</p>

<p>The mona lisa, being transported in a separate cart and accepted by dignitaries was treatead as a ___________, rather than a painting.</p>

<p>And also, what was the question about the new york bar, like the two adjectives describing it.</p>

<p>THe 1600 question: the question asked the square root of what number is equal to the number divided by 40.</p>

<p>15: # has to be positive...
square root of a number = the number/40
I got stumped by this problem :( Of course now I find out it just involved factoring. ugh.</p>
