March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>Because my friend claims that it read they plugged in 75 instead of 55 and they plugged in 70 instead of 80. This would make the mean 87...but was it actually 75 instead of 55 and 70 instead of 60?</p>

<p>I'm almost positive that it was 55 instead of 75. But I don't know now.</p>

<p>im kinda confused as to wat u guys are saying but i remember the four numbers to be 55, 75, 78, 85</p>

<p>im over 200 posts!</p>

<p>answer to machu picchu = it was motivation (the magical elixir)

<p>the yin yang math problem is 12 pi.<br>
YOU ARE FINDING PERIMETER. so the outside arc is 6 pi. and you have small arcs, each 3Pi on the bottom of the shades areas. so its 12Pi. those who got 6Pi are finding the area although you used circumference formulas.</p>

<p>im guessing that thing wasnt online before the test zero?</p>

<p>no....................</p>

<p>Anyone know if colleges will still take best composite score with the new one?</p>

<p>david, i dont think they will because the stuff on every section of the new test is different. also, wat were the choices for the magical elixir question?</p>

<p>anyone know the record on CC for longest thread???</p>

<p>I'd bet good money that this challenges/ shatters any previous record.</p>

<p>I think that the numbers for the math problem being discussed earlier today were 75 plugged in instead of 55, and 78 instead of 85.</p>

<p>pentasa: The longest thread as of now is the "Research Summer Institute 2005," with over 40,000 views. I'm guessing this thread will pass the RSI thread within a day or two.</p>

<p>No I didn't mean in combination with the old one. I mean lets say I retake it in October, is it the bset composite score that gets considered?</p>

<p>Did anyone NOT have a Crtical Reading question that said something about the importance of scientific integrity? The correct answer, in retrospect, I'm pretty sure was zealous... misconduct, but I put ambivalent...plagiarism. Stupid me, yeah, but I had the Disneyland experimental one and was hoping it was in that section... Does anyone know if that was on an experimental section?</p>

<p>It's "insight into"...technically. Look up usage of "insight into" on Google News, and you'll see that there are thousands (5320) of articles that contain that phrase. It's doubtful that editors would let that slip by so many times.
"Insight about," however, does appear 123 times in recent news articles.
The Edmonton Sun uses both expressions. Hmm.
Perhaps it's something that you could dispute?</p>

<p>Having looked through 24 pages of posts and not seeing a single question about this, I have a question about writing that I hope isn't repetitive: "We need not blind ourselves FROM Napoleon's mistakes" or something like that? I also looked that one up on Google, and the first few hits were Cheathouse papers, which may not bode too well. If anybody's answer was definitely correct (whether E or the one that included 'from')...PM me or something. I put E, by the way.</p>

<p>dang wat did you do memorize the whole freaking test?</p>

<p>1,095 posts in two days. Amazing, no?</p>

<p>i think that one was E</p>

<p>with the old engilsh lady passage, remember the question that asked what the point of putting the "intimidated child" thing in? Why was it?</p>

<p>I said she contined to feel diminished in her new home. It was the least bad answer, I thought, but still pretty bad.</p>
