October 15 PSAT Discussion

<p>yes to worldly awareness. </p>

<p>students in a museum ringing a bell? i think it began with neither the __ nor the __ provided enough inormation? or something...help! is this the infamous thoroughly one?</p>

<p>^yea i think so</p>

<p>btw cant you get results in november when they post in on collegequickstart if you took test last year (i think this was case last year)</p>

<p>fluffy: what was the one with doctor again, i remember putting diverse, i think the first part was something along the lines of "hardship"</p>

<p>I think we're confusing one same question as multiple different questions and thinking that we got A LOT wrong when in actuality all of them are the same question.. or at least that's what I hope is happening..</p>

<p>I can't recall the answers at all. The question was about a doctor just moving to a place where there's a diverse population... i think. </p>

<p>I get these weird mental images of the location of the questions but never what they actually say!</p>

<p>Is that true??^^^ can you really see your scores in november online??</p>

<p>i thought if you had quickstart (CB) account you cna</p>

<p>what's a quickstart cb account?</p>

<p>anyone remember the poetry one?</p>

<p>something like how can you get to know poetry better or something?</p>

<p>i forgot it... i think i put the last one</p>

<p>does PSAT even matter at all if you do bad on it?</p>

<p>which painter one?</p>

<p>Can someone who knows about this please show me how to access my score on quickstart as early as possible Lol. Like exact time/date....</p>

<p>college board quickstart if you took psat last year you have one</p>

<p>btw what was the answer to comedians comparison passages
like P1 talkes about futility in comedians, P2 admires audacity</p>

<p>does anyone know the other choices for the comedians one</p>

<p>nope, its just for NMSQFT if your a junior... if your a frosh or soph it doesnt matter at all...</p>

<p>and no colleges see it and most don't care about NMSQFT</p>

<p>thats what i put neot, something like futility and audacity, because the first speaker was describing how it was fruitless for a comedian to act, while the second one was describing how they got up on stage solo or something...</p>

<p>@thequestionmark: and others
So I gather, most people put "before sentence 5" because they see it as a topic sentence. But a topic sentence for what? The book is BOTH a spiritual autobiography and a slave narrative. Moreover, paragraph 2 considers itself with spiritual growth, over moral awakening. Having that sentence as a transition digresses from the author's main point.
Secondly, "after sentence 10" actually fits better than "Before sentence 10."<br>
Sentence 10 is the topic sentence of the last paragraph; to paraphrase, it mentions how Euponia changes his perspective about slavery. So the whole third paragraph would flow something like this:
1 He changed his views slavery
2 Such moral awakenings are common in spiritual autobiographies
3 Euponia's moral awakening about slavery occured because of his acquiring worldliness through travel</p>

<p>@bleedblue: hmm my high school puts PSAT scores on transcripts, isnt that not allowed because even collegeboard doesnt give out psat scores...</p>

<p>@ CollegeAddiction:
You're right about it being too abrupt between 9 and 10. That's why it comes AFTER: Sentence 10 acts as a topic sentence to paragraph 3, and the sentence-to-be-inserted establishes a broader context for sentence 10.</p>

<p>bleedblue, it matters slightly more for our class cuz cb changed their SAT policy, so a high score on PSAT is in some ways more meaningful than a high score on the SAT... but that's for another thread</p>

<p>harder than the practice test, but overall not too bad in my opinion.</p>

<p>I didn't do as well as I would have liked on the math, however...especially on the first section. I pulled it together for the 2nd section, but still, I don't think I did so well on math overall.</p>

<p>However, I think CR and Writing were okay.</p>

<p>If I got 0 wrong in math, 4 wrong in reading, what is the maximum number of questions I can miss on writing (approx.) to get 220+ ? (I answered all questions)</p>
