<p>What did you put for the satirizing q?</p>
<p>@nickspeaker</p>
<p>i put the latter as well</p>
<p>sigh</p>
<p>a bunch of CR questions this time were tricky- do u think the curves will be gentler ?</p>
<p>I put A. Anyone?</p>
<p>Edit: @harvardfanatic10</p>
<p>@Jack TC</p>
<p>lol i forget which is why i was wondering what the other answer choices were</p>
<p>im actually so ****ed bc my proctor (he’s a cool guy and all) did not notify us about the time so my pacing was all off. when i went back to check that section, i ran out of time so i forgot what i put -.-</p>
<p>OK everyone. I’ll try to clear up some confusion about the “satirize” question. The major part of the answer that makes the satire choice incorrect is the word traditional. The “Big News Media” WAS NOT TRADITIONAL. On the contrary, it referred to the recent development of the fact that any average person can become a journalist.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me which specific writing questions were N/E. I’d appreciate it.</p>
<p>I was not sure about a couple. Like the Alok Gupta article one: I put the “bitterweet…” choice. I was unsure, but I feel that “a compelling source of information” was incorrect because it was more opinionated (thus, not informational) and the narrative was more focus on nostalgia. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>omg omg can u tell me the other answer choices for that journalism satirisng question? i have been trying to remember them all so i can see how i did on that question</p>
<p>@hanapiano</p>
<p>I am almost 100% sure it was the one that said something like: “Passage 2 talks about the potential negative impacts that Passage 1 discusses in a positive light.”</p>
<p>@kjoilk2: I believe the “compelling source of information” was the correct choice. In the passage, it specifically talks about how her article covers recent events and news. Nostalgia is definitely correct.</p>
<p>@kjoilks</p>
<p>yes i think ur right for the second one.</p>
<p>as for the bittersweet one, i got that same answer but a bunch of others thinki its compelling source of info…unfortunately…</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to the purpose of he snapshot metaphor question?</p>
<p>@nickspeaker</p>
<p>i think it was like</p>
<p>underscoring the discovery…?</p>
<p>A story as a side note; our proctor got so mad that everyone, specifically me and my friend because we were discussing the test, even though we did not talk about specific test questions. We only talked about the difficulty of the test as a whole. Why are discussion not allowed? Is it because they reuse certain test questions on future PSATS?</p>
<p>On the writing section for the last question, did you guys place the sentence before 14 and 15. At leat those were the two I was debating.</p>
<p>@nickspeaker and hanapiano: I definitely missed that one. I took it way too literal and said something about the photographic process :(. I’m beating myself up for missing that one b/c it seems so easy now that I look back.</p>
<p>@Kingxucus</p>
<p>I placed it before 14, at the beginning of the paragraph. Before 15 doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Edit: for the snapshot one, I put something about extinction, but I think that’s wrong.</p>
<p>@kingxucus: i put it before 14.
and i’m positive it’s a “compelling source of information” because it wasn’t referring to the people and how they were seeing the news as “bittersweet”, more like they were passing it around their relatives and looking at it etc etc</p>
<p>@Kingxucus. It was before sentence 14 because sentence 14 dives directly into an explanation of how it helps the city environment and traffic.
@@@Still looking for anyone who can remember what the 2 N/Es were!</p>
<p>@nightlock: i believe we discussed this. i think it was the union/management and the sunflowers.</p>
