November SAT discussions (international)

<p>@marz93
the tests are supposed to be the same, if with sections in different orders.</p>

<p>Hmm… I’m pretty sure that answer was something and pragmatic. Not sure what the first word was.</p>

<p>pragmatic was the other blank,</p>

<p>her research was “theoretical”, she left the “pragmatic” part to the more practical colleagues</p>

<p>pretty sure about this one</p>

<p>oh…I got that one wrong. so sentence after the colon is the result?? I actually don’t get that sentence…</p>

<p>Can someone explain to me why it was innuendo and not presumption?</p>

<p>@Bilguun
I thought I heard other people in my testing center say that they had an experimental math section. Maybe I am mistaken.</p>

<p>theoretical basically means not applied in real world whereas pragmatic means the opposite i.e. applied in real world.
So because her research was based so much on theories and didn’t include real world stuff, it meant that she had left the pragmatic part to her colleagues.</p>

<p>Can someone explain to me why it was innuendo and not presumption?<br>
–> “veiled reference”</p>

<p>Does anyone remember whether there was a question with clandestine? I might be mixing this up with a practice test I had done before the test.</p>

<p>I dont’ think so…</p>

<p>This is all we’ve got so far:</p>

<p>Math:
The question with containers A and B, 900 and 200 gallons respectively. The answer was 160.</p>

<p>There was hair-growing question. The initial length of her hair was 5.</p>

<p>The last question of one of the math questions with “a” and “a+b”. The answer was B. Something with absolutevalue(blabla)<5</p>

<p>11^3<em>25^3</em>49^3. The least prime was 5.</p>

<p>The question with two equilateral triangles. Find perimeters and find the difference. The answer was 6.</p>

<p>Volume of cuboid=144</p>

<p>The question with two triangles with common bases located on a line. The distance from the line to the point on a triangle was 40/3</p>

<p>The question with values. I think that both a and b were equal to 3x+7 so the answer was a=b.</p>

<p>The question with n(n-3)/2. The answer was 65.</p>

<p>The really easy question. x-2=1 what does x+2 equal? Answer was 5.</p>

<p>The answer with a line tangent to a circle. The arc had the length of one sixth of the circumference. The answer was 4*sqrt(3)</p>

<p>The question immediately before the grid-in part begins. It had a semi-colored circle and I think the area of the half of the circle was 8<em>pi. We had to find the diameter. Mine turned out to be 4</em>sqrt2</p>

<p>x could be 150,becoz then the remaining angle would be 210,210/3=70.So,therefore,p=70…this perfectly satisfies the condition…140<150<210
(Questioned. x and p were percentages?)</p>

<p>There was f(x) -1 when we shift the graph 3 unit down,</p>

<p>The question with f(a*b)=f(a)+(b). The answer was 24.</p>

<p>The number of all the people in the group was 12. (members+guests)</p>

<p>Easy question in the beginning parts of one section. The value of x+100=150</p>

<p>CR:
SC
perplexing, innuendo, mellifluous, unorthodox and antagonized, florid, commended and invited, pastoral (with rivers and a bridge), was able to recover from “malfeasance”, no guilt about leaving felt no compunction, theoretical and pragmatic, stark and cerebral, intemperate and (stnhg), superficial,</p>

<p>Passages:
Short passage with lions:
I put scientific observations for the second question of that passage, but I think it might have been anecdote.</p>

<p>Dinosaurs (science)pair passage
The woman in the second passage would respond to a the “we are not sure yet (sthng)” that it is important and beneficial?
In the passages with dinosaurs, the woman says “AL-something-blabla” because she emphasizes bewilderment?</p>

<p>Indian writer becoming a writer
“pulp” meant inferior type of literature
Question 23. I chose “appreciate challenges” for the writer passage too, but I think it’s wrong. dunno.</p>

<p>Passage about media and children
he accepted it but labeled it irrelevant?</p>

<p>Writing:
one of the questions had an answer with “whereby”?</p>

<p>What did you put on: why was “each and every word” italicized? I put “to emphasize the pervasiveness of a phenomenon”</p>

<p>i thnk the answer to angle x where they say area of the unshaded arc=7/10 of the area of the circle is 36 degrees…I’m pretty sure.</p>

<p>I put pervasiveness too</p>

<p>Math:
There’s question with parabol asking about the possible value of a + b? Is it only I ?</p>

<p>One’s about x degree in a circle, with ratio of the shaded and not shaded one. I think it’s 36.</p>

<p>And also in the passages about lions, both passages suggested that humans can be prey?</p>

<p>yep…got that too…</p>

<p>shorthest part of rope=4</p>

<p>The length of shortest part of the rope(?) when divided twice was 4?</p>

<p>I put only I too. Both a and be were negative so when added they can result in only a negative number.</p>

<p>Plz discuss all the math questions in the board that is named math novemer 2009. Not to get mixed up with cr and writing</p>

<p>what was the answer to the question asking the range of x…was it -3 to 7?</p>
