<p>U R right! I put C and missed it.</p>
<p>Here’s another “separate the men from the boys” SC question:</p>
<p>Louisa May Alcott’s ----- the philosophical brilliance of her father’s intellect was ----- by her impatience with his unworldliness. </p>
<p>a) exasperation with … contradicted
b) concealment of … supplanted
c) respect for … augmented
d) rebellion against … qualified
e) reverence for … tempered</p>
<p>E? 10charchar</p>
<p>^The answer is indeed E. Would you like to explain your rationale behind picking E? I picked E too but I also contemplated D …</p>
<p>I figured that it would need to be a positive and then a negative, so that eliminates just about all of them. But for D it is kind of non sequitur because you wouldn’t rebel against one’s philosophical brilliance; one could denounce it or disparage it but one cannot really rebel against it. Although overall I do not exactly see a fine line between the two.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That’s exactly what I was thinking when I chose E. Nice use of non sequitur :D!</p>
<p>A question here: </p>
<p>Without consulting dictionary, what do you think “insoluble” means?</p>
<p>^Not able to be dissolved, or for people, not able to take in, incomprehensible.</p>
<p>Did you also know that “insoluble” also means unable to be solved, as in …</p>
<p>“introducing an extended example of an insoluble problem.” (from an actual SAT).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No I did not know that but thank you for the answer. I am going to go do a CR section wish me luck and I will be back with the results!</p>
<p>I’ll be taking a full SAT today. Full as in 3 hours and 45 minutes + a 15 minute break. (25 minute section will take 25 minutes… even if I finish the section in 20 minutes.)</p>
<p>I’ll post the result around 8… 
Wish me luck!</p>
<p>Good luck Jeffery :D. </p>
<p>On a separate note, does anyone have the answers to Practice Test 3 on the Online SAT Course? I NEED the answers :o!</p>
<p>Here you go, IceQube:</p>
<p>Section 2: CEBAEBEAECEBACBCBCDBABAC
Section 3: CCAEEBAE|100|3|20 or 50|8/15 or .533|180|144|20|60|608|33
Section 5: EEBAABAEDCACADBDAABDCECD
Section 7: BDDBABEDAABECECBDCEC
Section 8: AEEADBBDBDEABCEEABA
Section 9: BAACDDADACBCCEAE
Section 10: DACDBCBACBCBCC</p>
<p>The answers are missing section 4, which is the writing section that I just took :(.</p>
<p>Experimental. Either that one is experimental, or the 6th section is. Eitherway, I have one section missing. :/</p>
<p>^No, the experimental section is section 6. The answers are missing both sections 4 and 6 … I just took 4, so it couldn’t be experimental …</p>
<p>Am I screwed?! </p>
<p>–</p>
<p>All hope is not lost; I managed to Google some of the answers. I also know somebody who has access to the OC … but still, I’d like to have the answers NOW lol :p. </p>
<p>In any case, my grammar FAILS. I do not know how I scored so well on my PSAT. I think the problem is that I know absolutely NO GRAMMAR - as in general grammar. All I know how to do is pick out errors on the SAT - and I’m not even good at that. I think I need to re-read silverturtle’s guide by tonight, along with Gruber’s 50-page grammar summary, and have all of it memorized BY TOMORROW. I Googled 3 of my grammar questions, and I missed all 3 … :mad:. Here they are:</p>
<p>1) The radio station received (the most number) of calls from listeners (on the evening) (it) aired a discussion of (the music of) Aretha Franklin. </p>
<p>2) When the village elders (present) recommendations, (there is) (hardly ever) any opposition (against) their proposals. </p>
<p>3) I have gone (to) (only one) football game (after) I (graduated) from high school. (No error)</p>
<ol>
<li>A</li>
<li>D</li>
<li>C</li>
</ol>
<p>You’ll do fine, IceQube…! :)</p>
<p>^You got them all. I’ll be going through the following resources to build the foundation of my grammar knowledge:</p>
<p>1) Silverturtle’s guide
2) Gruber’s
3) English-page</p>
<p>Does that sound reasonable?</p>
<p>I got 2 and 3 but what is wrong with 1 A?</p>
<p>I finished my section; I missed two. :(</p>
<p>I had trouble understanding what he was trying to say can someone explain.</p>
<p>Context: Sentimentality, the ostentatious parading of excessive and spurious emotion, is the mark of dishonesty, the inability to feel the wet eyes of sentimentalists betray their aversion to experience, their fear of life, their arid heats; it is always, therefore, the signal of secret and violent inhumanity.</p>
<p>The author of Passage 1 indicates that sentimentalist are
A. Irresponsible
B. Hypocritical
C. Selfish
D. Defensive
E. Influential</p>
<p>And I missed a sentence completion. The answer was vacuous which means lacking in ideas or intelligent. Evidently, I am vacuous for missing that question.</p>
<p>Edit: I just looked it up and I guess most can’t modify number. So it would have to be “the most” and eliminate calls.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>“Most number” is incorrect. Use the “greatest number.”</p>
<p>It’s just like how we use “fewer” for countable objects and “less” for non-countable objects. </p>
<p>There are fewer people here than there were last year. People are able to be counted. </p>
<p>There was clearly less effort put in this job. Effort is not able to be described in quantitative terms. </p>
<p>–</p>
<p>For your passage question … would the answer be B - hypocritical?</p>
