My Progress Thread

<p>That’s right. But I don’t understand the validity of “Something of”</p>

<p>It is no error. I just don’t understand the validity of “Something of”</p>

<p>^It’s just an idiom that you might stumble across in higher-level literature.</p>

<p>“X is something of Y” is used to emphasize the noteworthy characteristic of X.</p>

<p>e.g., “John is something of a pianist.”</p>

<p>This particular sentence can be rearranged to read:</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>^ Got it. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>How can I dispute a bad question on the test? Is there some place on the CB website … I can’t seem to find it.</p>

<p>What is the bad question that you speak of? It is extremely unlikely that CB would nullify a question.</p>

<p>IceQube, I wouldn’t bother. Silverturtle once disputed a bad question on a PSAT with a 20+ page argument/analysis. The CB didn’t budge.</p>

<p>If you didn’t do as well as you’d hoped, you can always cancel your scores and retake in a month or two.</p>

<p>Here are some answers I thought I would post…</p>

<p>pi for the one with the square inside the circle
130 don’t remember what it asked
60 for x + y
49 for the college credits
-3 for that function one with the table
4 options for the probability one
x^3y the answers was 3
not a consensus
contented
police guy was polite
captivated by the lady
awe
3/2 for the x value
(x+y)pi
the speed of sound one no error
the volcano no error
imminent versus eminent was A
commitment to
the paragraph improvement fossils: any others (i don’t think this was correct but what was the correct answer?)
something and erudition
prescient
melancholy
what wast the one about winning the noble prize – sentence improvement
diverse</p>

<p>I think the paragraph improvement one was “any other fossils showing the connection between dinosaurs and birds” or something along those lines, because it went on to talk about various fossils in that paragraph that demonstrated the connection between birds/dinosaurs. </p>

<p>I don’t remember getting “melancholy” for anything, but I may be forgetting something or it was experimental.</p>

<p>I hope everyone feels satisfied with how they did today. And if not, you can always take it again. Keep in mind, the difference between a 2300 and a 2400 is basically negligible, so don’t beat yourself up over little mistakes.</p>

<p>Yeah that was what I put. It gave me some trouble. The melancholy was the one with the policeman and the other answer was foreshadowing future events; although, I was pretty sure that wasn’t the answer.</p>

<p>Jeffery how do you think you did?</p>

<p>Yeah I think I said the police officer was “polite”</p>

<p>Also Grand Master Jeffery, what did you put for the one with the speed of sound?</p>

<p>000ooo000ooo</p>

<p>The length of the line drawn by the two semicircles was not (x+y)pi</p>

<p>It was xpi/2 + ypi/2</p>

<p>(x+y)pi would yield the length of the line drawn by two CIRCLES.</p>

<p>No I think you misread the question. It gave the radius of the two circles.</p>

<p>Math: piece of cake.
Critical reading: dual passage wrecked me.
Writing: error IDs did not go well. Everything else went fine.</p>

<p>What did you get for The speed of sound one? And what do you think -1 on math will be. Also what did you put for the cr one with cold blood.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think I did okay. I have a solid chance at 800 on Math and most likely, a 750+ on reading. I’m still not too sure about my writing, though. I put no error for the speed of sound.</p>

<p>Yes! If you put no error it has to be right!</p>
