<p>oh and someone please answer the qingzuo qingquo and qing man qing man thing</p>
<p>mianfei was at the top right hand corner of the thing.</p>
<p>whats the answer of the second last question which about the postoffice thing?
did the woman advice the man to buy a thing in postoffice because its cheaper</p>
<p>how about the question about the mother's day parade? would it be a march or a marathon?</p>
<p>it is march... btw please answer my questions about the car service being free or discount (restricted to the answer choices) and qing man qing man.</p>
<p>i think it was a "free estimate", if you're talking about that question.
don't rmb the qing man one. </p>
<p>i think i majorly botched the test. >(</p>
<p>Timeless:
the car repair service was offering free estimates, no discounts. It was the plumbing ad that's offering a 20% discount.</p>
<p>And for the "qing man qing man" question, I assume you are talking about "qing man zou" or "qing man bu" (I can't remember which one they used). But THAT's the right answer. The man was saying to the woman not to "song" (送) him anymore. </p>
<p>liangshengtm:
Yes, it's cheaper at the post office.</p>
<p>But..i'm 100% sure that the travelling agency one is "hotel reservation". In the ad, one of the services provided was actually "pay in the US and get your merchandise in China". No mentioning of hotel reservations anywhere though.</p>
<p>so it's safe to assume that if you answer 1-2 questions incorrectly, you'd still be able to get an 800?
does anyone know the curve for last year?</p>
<p>I think I got everything now....thank god</p>
<p>for the airplane listening on i put check in....i was gonna put board the airplane..i dont know anyone else?</p>
<p>I think I put check in too, for the airplane listening.
I'm worried about my score now :(</p>
<p>Pretty sure it was check in.</p>
<p>It was get ready to board the plane. There were free estimates for car repair. It said: qing zhun bei deng shang fei ji I think.</p>
<p>I don't know about everyone else but I thought that the test was pretty easy. </p>
<p>I agree with firewolf185 on the plane boarding one and the car repair one. </p>
<p>Also for anyone who's still wondering, the wet jacket question is definetely NOT jiao, it is most definetely ling. I know this because I have spoken Chinese all my life and jiao is only used in that way informally. The correct answer is ling, I even looked it up in the dictionary. </p>
<p>I hope we don't get in trouble for doing this, I'm pretty sure everybody filled out the little box promising not to discuss test problems......... 0_o'</p>
<p>I went into the test thinking I'd get 700+ on Chinese and 650ish Math/Bio. I came out thinking I got <700 Chinese and >700 Math/Bio. I remember taking a practice Chinese SAT II like two years ago and getting 780. Somehow I have a feeling I forgot alot of Chinese since then :/</p>

<p>I didn't even know there jiao could be used that way.</p>
<p>I'm not sure whether or not I put check in, but I knew whatever answer I got was right, I started to pay attention from that question on.</p>
<p>I called my mom( she lives in Taiwan) yesterday again about the question. She said it's jiao, for sure. Its just not the kind of word that we write on formal papers.<br>
Anyway, about the numbering one on the listening part. Is it 3 for checking reservation?</p>
<p>I actually thought the reading sectino was really easy (cept for the jiao one), i finished like 45 mins early. But I just moved here 3 years ago.</p>
<p>it's jiao :P</p>

<p>Indeed, Xinhua dictionary confirms its property as a preposition.</p>
<p>I'm surprised they would pick something so difficult, I guess they thought we'd do process of elimination, but still, the preposition definition was listed as the last of 6 definitions in the dictionary.</p>
