May 2013 SAT Discussion Thread

<p>what did you guys get for one of the last questions about the deception passage? It asked about which answer did passage 2 but not passage 1 talk about or something like that. Did you say that passage 2 had “long-lasting effects for the liar” or that deception had “immoral purposes”?</p>

<p>@my88keys</p>

<p>But didn’t he oppose it in the questions he was asking? He had a statement and then opposed it the the following questions he asked.</p>

<p>Can someone give me the exact specification and numbets given for the
7 median, mode, mean question?</p>

<p>long lasting effects</p>

<p>@Yakisoba Yes, I got triple A. Ar eyou sure it was 19, because for some reason I thought the breakdown for the reading questions was 25, 24, 18…</p>

<p>I’m looking at about a 2070 right now…my beastly CR score saved my butt (or so I believe). Math and Writing aren’t bad either, they’re about 650’s each.</p>

<p>for the employee flexible work schedule passage, did you guys choose that addressed in passage II, it would “blur the boundary” between work or something like that? I just knew the answer i chose had the word “boundary” in it</p>

<p>@ibelieveicanfly7 I’m sure there were 19 because I remember I was lazy on that section, so I was like, “Ooh, only 16 questions, how nice of the College Board.” But then I flipped the page and I saw there were three more. And I remembered I put triple A for those last 3.</p>

<p>What were the last 3 questions of the last reading question?</p>

<p>@medicalboy No. The lines before were like, “a child can’t tell the truth if the don’t know the truth” the next lines were like, “what is the difference b/w saving their butt and telling the truth” Really bad paraphrase, but…</p>

<p>for the working from home passage, did anyone put that author 1 was assuming that they would get a day off or something of that sort? I think it was the 3rd question of that passage.</p>

<p>3 5 6 7 9 10 12
Median/mode=7
Use 5 of those numbers once. And 1 of them twice. So replace one of those numbers with a 7 because there has to be two 7’s since 7 is the Mode.
5+2=7 numbers total.
10 is the answer. You have to replace 10. Any more questions about that one?</p>

<p>Last writing section about Hawaii, was it IT cools down and THEY have showers more frequently?</p>

<p>What did standard mean?</p>

<p>what was the writing experimental? section 3 or 4?</p>

<p>@corndwag </p>

<p>I think it was temperature. “It” was ambiguous</p>

<p>for the flexible schedule passage did you choose that passage 2 thought it would “___ the boundary” for work or something like that</p>

<p>@corndwag I don’t vividly remember that but if you’re talking about Hawaii, you wouldn’t use they… unless it mentioned the people of Hawaii.</p>

<p>what was the experimental for writing? section 3 or 4…?</p>

<p>Also, can people post vocab answers that they remember? The one’s I have are
Arcane
Obduracy
Disparate
Unnerving
Exhortation
Postulate</p>
