November 2012 International SAT1 Discussion Thread

<p>@deathblade
nuh uh have you checked out the 2008 thread?
it started out with “first” because it was to introduce the ballet lessons and what they involved. it didnt have a sequence of commanding terms or instructions i.e. “secondly”, “then/and then”, “next”. the “steps” weren’t instructions but actual physical motions because it specifically talked about how the people there moved and continued their repetition</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question in the chinese passage about the author’s birthplace. Is it fortuitous revelation or pragmatic requirement?
I answer the former but I am not sure. Can some experts explain this question pls.</p>

<p>That one was pragmatic requirement, since he only acquired the father’s birthplace for a college application. Therefore, the reason is practical, being that he merely needs it to fulfill one of the requirements.</p>

<p>fortuitous makes sense, but having to fill out a blank in app ain’t no “revelation”</p>

<p>score is coming out in 5 days…</p>

<p>Is anyone aware of the way universities evaluate secondary school grades? Because the academic system from country were I’m from, Argentina, dosen’t use curve grading… Universities will just ask my school’s administration to present an inform that shows my performance compared with my classmate’s? Or they just want to see the final scores on the different subjects?</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Does anyone have an idea of how the curve would be?</p>

<p>What score would I get if l get around 3 incorrect on each of the three sections ( Maths, CR and Writing )</p>

<p>3 wrong for CR is 770-790
M 710-750
W depends on essay</p>

<p>3 wrong for CR is 770-790
M 710-750
W depends on essay</p>

<p>@Corrinder94 - Thanks… :slight_smile: I really really hope I don’t get any incorrect answers in Maths, I really want an 800!!</p>

<p>Scores up! I got 740 on CR, 790 on Math, 720 for Writing. Total 2250. This is my first time taking SAT and I am registered for another one in December and Jan.</p>

<p>800 CR 720 M and 790 W total 2310 and superscore is 2350 yay!!!</p>

<p>Gosh u guys …
My score was 1530 …
510-Math
580-Writing
440-Critical
Essay:8</p>

<p>Any suggests or advices about how to improve overall? /:</p>

<p>2340! :D</p>

<p>A little sad about math, but colleges don’t care about minute differences, hopefully.</p>

<p>Edit: </p>

<p>Farouz, if you PM with your email, I have a ton of free prep resources I can send to you via dropbox.</p>

<p>For math, I’d practice the concepts and do questions. Reading, memorize some words and again practice concepts. Writing, I’d get a grammar guide, learn the rules and practice again.</p>

<p>@ecouter11 well the problem is am not pretty sure about which concepts and from where to get them and go through them :S.
Already memorizing vocab aiming for more. Writing I am trying to get some basics rules to memorize.
What about the essay?
It takes a pretty huge percent on writing section so am concerned about it as well /: .
And I’d be more than thankful if u could emaail me anyyything that could help :stuck_out_tongue:
Thankss xx</p>
