<p>bereft and conducive were the only remotely plausible ones.. the other choices could be eliminated immediately</p>
<p>What did you guys have for the Jane Eyre one? I think I had the 'including', though it kind of threw me</p>
<p>wait what was the jane eyre? was it a passage?</p>
<p>It was in the last writing section, about Jane Eyre going through many trials and something about Mr. Rochester. I think it was the second to last question.</p>
<p>oh yes I remember that question, it was really hard. I put the answer that had the word exemplified</p>
<p>I think it was 'including forcing', but it sounds awkward</p>
<p>heyy all i'm new to this amazing forum.
and wow the answers are being put up already?
i have one question:
there's a math problem involved k, m, x, where k is constant,,,?
it was a multiple choice question and it was the only one i couldn't do =(((
any help guys?</p>
<p>kizuna
for ANY problem like that, ALWAYS let certain values = the variable. Your answer will match numerically with the correct one</p>
<p>the answer was m=16</p>
<p>I actually took the May 5 SAT today (my first in years!).</p>
<p>I believed the credited response to the "angle bisectors" grid-in question is 90. Yet, if you examine the question closely, you'll discover that the statements in the question are actually logically inconsistent. To be more precise, the test writers introduced a fourth (third?) angle bisector that was completely unnecessary and actually made the question ambiguous, since with the additional information, the question was impossible to solve. I read and redid the question about three or four times, and I am almost certain that this is a blatant error on the part of the test writers. I already called the College Board about this question, as I think it must have somehow slipped through the cracks in the quality control process. Unfortunately, I can't recall the precise question to point out the exact flaw, but when (and if) I do, I'll let you know.</p>
<p>For now, I'll ask a couple of questions of my own:</p>
<p>In the Critical Reading section, one of the questions belonging to the paired long passages about the migration of humans into the Americas asked for something that both passages contended/mentioned. I chose that they both thought that land travel would have been very difficult during the most recent ice age, but I am not certain of the answer. Anyone have an opinion on this?? The only other possible alternative, in my view, is that both passages could not settle on a definitive date of the first humans/settlers.</p>
<p>In the fiction passage about shopkeepers, one question asked about what calling the "manufacture" a "benign monster" conveyed. I chose that it expressed sympathy for the hardships that the factor workers endured (I don't remember the precise wording). Another possible answer could have been to characterize the actual manufacturing process, but I doubted that. What do you guys think??</p>
<p>The test as a whole was reasonable, except for the questionable Math question and the experimental (I think) Writing section (which was Section 2 for me), which contained some subtle grammatical issues that I don't think most students would have noticed. I also thought that one Improving Paragraphs question in that section (about where to insert a particular sentence in the essay) was a little ambiguous (which is one reason that I suspect that the section was experimental). The sentence completions were relatively easy, and I was surprised by the low level of the words in the choices. The only tough one I can think of that would have stumped some students is the one with the answer of "antipodes."</p>
<p>Oh, I do have one more question. In the scored (I think) Writing section, one of the Improving Paragraphs questions (the essay was about a camp that brought young people together to show them the "enemies") asked about a revision of a sentence that read something like "Due to the fact that teenagers are brought together from opposite sides of the conflict all over the world." I chose "It brings together teenagers from opposite sides of the conflict all over the world," but I was not sure that that was the best possible revision. Another possible answer was "All over the world, teenagers are brought together from possible sides of the conflict by [something] Seeds Camp." Opinions?</p>
<p>Consolidation Is Up</p>
<p>Godot: Those questions are all very hard and you will hear a variety of different opinions. I agree with the antipode answer, however I put "characterization" in the manufacturing section. I agree with you on the camp questions, since the second choice is passive. Nobody however, has conclusively decided on any of these answers, except for "antipode" and "90 degrees".</p>
<p>The answer was "including forcing."</p>
<p>what about the 2 small passages about journalism?</p>
<p>experimental?</p>
<p>^Consolidation?</p>
<p>never mind...</p>
<p>Hmm, I had the journalism ones. I also had one on a woman who wanted her daughter to say "horse" instead of "gee gee".</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about the pool surrounded by rope on three sides and then two that make lanes in the middle? with sides x and y and an area of 4,000 something, and they wanted you to find the total amount of rope needed. The answer I got was y+(16,000/y)</p>
<p>was one of the answer unwarranted</p>
<p>Debbie... yes, that is the correct answer.</p>
<p>Debbie427,</p>
<p>That answer is correct, since you have:</p>
<p>xy=4000</p>
<p>You want y + 4x (since you have four lengths of rope on the width)</p>
<p>And since x = 4000/y, y + 4x = y + 16000/y</p>
