<p>but being dormant doesn't "subdue" its volatility. being dormant is the complete opposite of being explosive. It contradicts or masks or disguises the volcano's real nature. belie is correct.</p>
<p>so is everyone SURE that the answer was supercilious????</p>
<p>I dont think I even got a 190 now...</p>
<p>does anyone remember the writing question towards the end, where it asked how to better develop the last paragraph? choices included "add a quote", "talk about other places he traveled", "elaborate on his change of opinion", "talk about treatment on British ship(??)" and I don't remember the last one.</p>
<p>it shoulda been elaborate on his changing opinion</p>
<p>I put elaborate on his change of opinion</p>
<p>okay, good. :] that's what I put too.</p>
<p>@ibbc
the compound inequality one was 75<(x-2)/3<76
we were trying to find out a value of (x-2)/6
B/C (x-2)/3 x 1/2 = (x-2)/6, i multiplied everything by 1/2
so i had 37.5<(x-2)/6<38
Because you are only solving for (x-2)/6, and not x alone, i just picked a number between 37.5 and 38, and i picked 37.6</p>
<p>Toward the end of the second math section in the free response/grid-in, did anyone get one answer as 3?</p>
<p>i got 3, but i can't even remember what the problem was about</p>
<p>^ do u remember the question?</p>
<p>yeahhhh i remember it was where the median and the average were equal
the #s were 2, 7, 11, 12 and x
so i added them all up and divided by 5, (32+x)/5
if you used 3, then it would be (32+3)/5=35/5=7, which is the median
you could also use 23, so (32+23)/5=55/5=11, and since 11 would be the middle if 23 was x then 23 was the other answer.</p>
<p>on that one 3, 23,and 8 all worked</p>
<p>I personally put 8, but both 3 and 8 work so you could have chosen either one</p>
<p>dammit!!!! this PSAT owned me!!! ahh! this year was way harder than last years PSAT. i think my last year score was way better.... (134).</p>
<p>Awesome. </p>
<p>Was the population one [categorized by age-groups] 21,000?</p>
<p>The fish one [probability of choosing a trout, I think], was 5/12 right?</p>
<p>yup, I got 21000 for the population one,
and I don't quite remember the trout one.</p>
<p>zoaxanthellae- i got 21,000 and 5/12</p>
<p>Quick question guys:
Many of you put that
Topography vs Mineralogy. </p>
<p>I put Visual vs. intuition.</p>
<p>Visual - They argued that the canyons were carved by water
Intuition - They decided BECAUSE of the carbonate matter, water was scarce. Seems indirect insight?</p>
<p>I definatly got 3 as one of the answers...
27 for another
and 18 for the square with the circles (36/2).</p>
<p>yes and 5/12 sounds right./</p>
<p>dang do you think this years writing was harder/easier than last year</p>
<p>i missed 2 last year and got 73, i know i missed 3 already this year (hopefully only 3), but if i do do you guys think that is like 69 (from last year, missing 3 +3/4 for errors) or will it be higher/lower</p>
<p>if i dont get nmsf it will be because of math, i made one silly mistake on parabola, so now i have like 76 M/about 70 W/i need a 70 in CR, i doubt ill get that because ive never gotten that before on any practice test (always around 65)</p>
