Test Preparation
121

<p>yea i was deciding between redolent and anothe answer... i chose the other one</p>

<p>was that the lousiana question?</p>

122

<p>Is there ever a time when you can get an 800 on math and still miss a question? Just one question... Why is the math curve on the SAT so sadistic?</p>

123

<p>damn i got that wrong</p>

124

<p>I think duality and panache was an answer to one of the more difficult scs</p>

125

<p>NO. You solve for x and get x equals 10. X is the number of people in front of him.</p>

126

<p>unidern....by your reasoning on the juan question there was 9 in front and 18 in back for a total of 27 right? well what about juan, he would be number 28, and that makes the overall number not equall to 3(9)</p>

127

<p>the curve on math is sadistic because most of it is pre-high school math you are supposed to be completely familiar with. and blah-blah. It is easy, but just too much.</p>

128

<p>yea i got the panache answer from process of elim</p>

129

<p>Duality wasn't the word, it was some other D word. But yes, that was an asnwer.</p>

130

<p>how many questions on verbal can you get wrong to still score a 800?</p>

131

<p>i didnt get panache</p>

132

<p>duplicity was the first word i think</p>

133

<p>what about a complete the sentence about medicine, and the 2 i narrowed it down to were sensationalism and obfucation(sp)?</p>

134

<p>On one question about the mayor's handbook(??), was the answer "bowdlerized"? In the sentence there was some french word with a stress on the 'e'.</p>

135

<p>yeah, anyone know the CR curve from march?</p>

136

<p>Yes, duplicity.</p>

<p>I put sensationalism for that other one.</p>

137

<p>what about the lousina question
something about a book-- for sentence completion</p>

<p>i chose remiscient(sp) and veer over redolent and waft</p>

<p>and it was sensationalism i believe</p>

138

<p>what reading passages did you guys get? I had an african music passage, a jonas salk passage, and a two author passage about william bligh and the hms bounty.</p>

139

<p>ummm, it was redolent and waft. look the words up and dictionary.com - veer doesn't work</p>

140

<p>the dude...those were the ones i had as well</p>
