October 15 PSAT Discussion

<p>calm down guys, =).</p>

<p>-3 on the SAT test was : 69</p>

<p>-3 on the WED test was: 70</p>

<p>^No everyones getting confused</p>

<p>-3 on the PSAT i believe was a 71/70-whichever it is (HOWEVER RARELY DOES ANYONE GET THIS SCORE)</p>

<p>That is because if you MISSED 3, thats actually a -4 (since its -3-.25*3=-3.75, rounds to -4), and -4 is a 69</p>

<p>When people say i missed 3 i got a 69 (positive about this) thats because thye missed 3, but 4 points if you count off the 0.25s</p>

<p>You can truly get -3 only if you like missed 2 and omited 1 which no one does...</p>

<p>So just some questions to those who got the test back</p>

<ol>
<li><p>What is the answer to the question in the writing section "Althought far eloquent a speaker, the senator did not perform well in the debate."?</p></li>
<li><p>In the reading section, what is the answer to the "effusive" sentence completion question?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>3.In the Mars passage, (if you remember there is a scientific passage in CR) there is question about how would author two respond to author one. Did you get "concurrence?" Or was it "surprise?"</p>

<p>anyone have the answer to the debate team competing on every occassion?</p>

<p>^ I heard from someone who got his scores that it was "competing on" so I think that is E?</p>

<p>^ I agree. I'm pretty sure it was no error, I think thats what I had and I didn't get it wrong.</p>

<p>How bout the mr. something's departure question? Do we have a definitive answer to that?</p>

<ol>
<li>What is the answer to the writing question "Althought far eloquent a speaker, the senator did not perform well in the debate."?</li>
</ol>

<p>Anyone??</p>

<p>^50FreeFly, the answer was B.</p>

<p>^Do you know the answer to the mars passage?</p>

<p>Sasquatch219, you mean E right?
The one with "Nothing will..."</p>

<p>the competing on writing question was E.</p>

<p>the thoroughly enough question was also E.</p>

<p>which thoroughly enough one?</p>

<p>^ After going through my post history as I don't recall that question at all, I find that I put "thoroughly enough" as being not redundant. It was another no-error sentence ID question. </p>

<p>lol at how you asked the same question back then.</p>

<p>The "eloquent speaker " was A. It had no error. Even though I've yet to receive my score, I'm pretty sure that the other 4 choices contained conspicuous errors. Although I'm not a native speaker, I don't find the phrasing awkward at all.</p>

<p>haha! i know, i looked back through and saw that i kept asking for "thoroughly". what makes me think i'd remember it better now than the day i took it, i have no idea.</p>

<p>@bob123123, yeah you're right, I mixed up the answer I put and the correct answer, it's E lol</p>

<p>Which answer was B =&lt;/p>

<p>was it the like 'none other' one or the other one?</p>

<p>Was it "birthright" in the television passage guys?</p>

<p>^I dont know the exact answer but </p>

<p>I think the question asked what does birthright represent</p>

<p>and I put something like "Most people are born with a greater perspective" or something like that</p>
