October 15 PSAT Discussion

<p>ur friend is wrong</p>

<p>for the writing section, the first part (changing long parts of sentences), did you get a lot of c's and d's? i got a ton of them in a row at some point o_O;;</p>

<p>Haha yeah that one was really troublesome. I didn't realize that they didn't have to be values for which x is an integer. I was worried about how to put 38.3333 or .6666. I put 37.7.</p>

<p>Also, I almost got the 4x4x7 rectangular prism one wrong. </p>

<p>My answer for the trapezoid one was 30. 12+6+6+6, if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>@dolcevalse
yeah i did... : D</p>

<p>dolcevalse, I remember getting 3 C's in a row. I don't remember getting 4 in a row though. However, the only reason I got 3 C's in a row is because I remember reading in this PSAT book about the probability of getting 3 C's or D's or E's etc. in a row.</p>

<p>what did you guys say about the last sent completion once in section 1? it was about some leader in a village and the choices i was down to was him being "frugal" or "munificent." i think i chose the former..</p>

<p>I put the one with frugal. I don't remember if it had munificent with frugal in the sentence as the answer or not. However, I knew that munificent meant really generous.</p>

<p>^DEFINITELY frugal. I'm, like 99% certain. Good thing you picked the right choice.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the outdoors and hiking club question?</p>

<p>I got 3 C's, a D, then 2 C's, then another D in a row.</p>

<p>question from vocab - the fill in was about a leader epitomizing economy
what was the answer?
and what does cynical mean? i learned in 7th grade but I blanked out and couldnt remember!</p>

<p>@ dolcevalse: a paragon of extreme economy would be frugal.</p>

<p>Cynical means you think people are always being selfish.</p>

<p>yeah i put frugal
not sure if its right though</p>

<p>any other math you can recall? </p>

<p>apparently, everyone thought writing was simple. there hasn't been any discussion..</p>

<p>I'm still doubting the outdoors/hiking club question. What was the logic?</p>

<p>dammit i missed the on argumentation in the writing, its supposed to be E i guess, i put that was wrong...</p>

<p>also for the writing about writing letters/seding emails was it </p>

<p>rather than write
or
instead of to write</p>

<p>alot of people said to write because it was parallel to the to send emails or something. is that right?</p>

<p>For writing, I remember debating whether the answer was the one with no commas, or the one with blah blah, "by which blah blah". It was in the 1st 14 questions.</p>

<p>Also in the 1st 14, there was one choice that had something sounding really awkward, like By him who.. or something. Ugh. I think our brains were burned out by section 5, hence the lack discussion. I thought the writing was OK.</p>

<p>@neot3e0ne: I put rather than write; I didn't see the parallelism or look for any, because instead of to write sounded really awkward. I went straight to the choices (probably a bad idea).</p>

<p>For the question about in triangle ABC, AB = 1, BC = 100, which of the following is true? </p>

<p>I think I put <A is the greatest.</p>

<p>nah C is the least,..
anyone know my question's answer^^^</p>
