November 2008 SAT Discussion for International Students

<p>I had experimental writing</p>

<p>Sec2 is the experimental</p>

<ol>
<li>Performed with a natural, offhand ease: glib conversation.</li>
</ol>

<p>this is the answer.</p>

<p>the p1 author’s language is very natural. and kind of humorous.</p>

<p>How is section 2 experimental? Could be Section 5! I hope its the one I did bad on :D</p>

<p>And hey…why did the author use “Dennis” as a single word paragraph?</p>

<p>I chose
an answer contained the word “awe”</p>

<p>Hey what did you guys put for the “fell in love @ first sight” question from the governess passage? I think I put that it suggest a romance affair between the two?</p>

<p>I think it was what other people had done before…cuz it was mentioned in the passage that the elder sons at the homes where she had worked before had also fell in love with her!</p>

<p>fell in love @ first sight question</p>

<p>I chose “other man did the same thing”</p>

<p>^^ditto, except that it was other “men” :)</p>

<p>

I think the answer was something like “to emphasize his importance.” It was a pretty straightforward question.</p>

<p>which one was the experimental section and what was it about???
this was my first time taking the SAT and i couldn’t tell which one the dummy was!
o and how’d you guys think of the SATs???
i personally found the vocab and essay kinda hard…
and math…well i’m terrible at math anyways…</p>

<p>

25 5
10 10 10
10 10 5 5
10 5 5 5 5
5 5 5 5 5 5
Thank god they mentioned how much a nickel and a dime is.</p>

<p>Oh I was confused
the “awe” was for the "shadow " question</p>

<p>ya…i think that’s right</p>

<p>

CR wasn’t particularly hard. The maid passage was kind of obscure(curse those old British novels), but wasn’t much of a problem, by comparison.
Writing was harder, I think, but I don’t care about the Writing Section. Most schools don’t look at it anyway.
Math was a bit trickier… Maybe it’s just that October Math was too easy.</p>

<p>o i put compassion there…but now i think trust is right…</p>

<p>the shadow one was about dennis or whatever right??
i’m pretty sure it was “awe”</p>

<p>i totally agree with you about the maid one…
i dounf that to be the hardest of the CR section…
the rest was ok though…
do you know which one the experimental part was???</p>

<p>Till now I have 1 maths wrong, and like 2 CR wrong!
How about you guys?</p>

<p>So far, I found that I’ve missed “sparing” and “glib.” But I’m sure there are several more I didn’t check. so I guess about -5 on CR.</p>
