***Oct 2014 SAT (US ONLY)***

<p>@singeorgina‌ given the same number of books?</p>

<p>I think I put adroit…not sure</p>

<p>@Marrissa It might’ve been “comical” but the idea is that he started it off in a funny way. </p>

<p>@dbsk21‌ I think so</p>

<p>Asking again, was the free rider one potentially altruistic?</p>

<p>Can someone give me a CR score approximation? 3 omitted and 2 wrong. </p>

<p>@Jarjarbinks23‌ vocabulary seemed harder in this test than in June’s test. The hardest words I remember from June were flux and schism; this one seemed to have more subtlety between choices (obsequious and ingratiate, erudite and adroit, etc). I think the CR curve for this test will be more generous. </p>

<p>A lot of people are saying the writing was hard. I didn’t think it was. The grammar questions were not particularly bad (imo). The essay prompt was definitely atrocious but I don’t think that factors into the curve, unfortunately </p>

<p>noo</p>

<p>@ah1217 No, it’s stated EXPLICITLY in the passage that its “obvious” when people don’t do work in a group. </p>

<p>@Mystic7‌ IRK that essay prompt tho… ended up making up all of my evidence</p>

<p>@Mystic7‌ i took the june test. math was way easier in june, CR was way easier in october and writing was the same like from June. the essay prompt however sucked. CR and M will be flip flopped so if your trying to approximate your CR and M scores, add 10 more for math and subtract 10 from reading.</p>

<p>@FuzzyPeaches22‌ </p>

<p>The passage says that the free-riding is there but that it is alturistic because for me to accomplish my own goals, i might need to help you out.</p>

<p>wasnt the answer to that question surprisingly harmful?</p>

<p>this free riding… what passage is this about? don’t even remember it?</p>

<p>@ah1217 Free riding means you’re not contributing to a project. Therefore, when everyone is working on a common goal and you’re the only one that doesn’t do anything and tries to “free load” off the rest of the people, it’s obvious. That’s the entire idea of the passage. </p>

<p>it was like the short double passages that talked about working as a team</p>

<p>@ah1217‌ thank you! Finally someone that agrees with me!</p>

<p>@ncccc1701 you didn’t need the distance formula. the other 2 corners of the rectangles had the same y value, so all you had to do was substract the x. I think it was like (2,2)(2,7) and you would find that their was a difference of 5 between the corners, and because it’s a rectangle the diagonal distance is the same between the other 2 corners.</p>

<p>what about the questions with the two machines</p>

<p>ok i remember now. what was the question? was it vocab in context. by the way i got the first question of the smell passage wrong. i didn’t get the humor when i read it. now i do. the person is a PARTISAN or supporter of smell. hopefully that was a level 5 question</p>
