*******October *19* PSAT Answers****

<p>@chrism0713 from the score you shared with us, you dont seem like a unreliable source of information haha</p>

<p>Potential impacts ALL THE WAY! :)</p>

<p>The author’s argument was that news would be biased, negatively impacting readers if ordinary people were able to be professional journalists. It’s explicitly stated in the final paragraph, which sums it all up nicely. Throughout the entire passage, the author was also describing the hardships that come with journalism and how not everybody can and should be a journalist.</p>

<p>23 was “unsound assumptions” right?</p>

<p>@JackTC Yes! I remember putting something like that as one of my answers!</p>

<p>@NIGHTLOCK nice!</p>

<p>ok well I’m somehow remembering questions now lol so what about that one about AskSeva and it was the last question i believe. it said something like “what type of advice would seva most likely give?” i put the one about reassuring that she would find friends in manhattan (not the correct wording at all, i just remember the word reassuring).</p>

<p>@JackTC: Yes. It goes back to how people “unsoundly assume” that they can be like professional journalists.</p>

<p>@JackTC yeah i remember a few of my answers on that passage had to do with assumptions so i probably put that.</p>

<p>WHAT IS THE DELIBERATE READING QUESTIONS SENTEnce COMPLETE
wat was the sentence for it</p>

<p>i picked the one that said she shouldn’t worry about it… or something.</p>

<p>@swerve22: Yes! In the passage, it talked about how she was extremely reassuring and would be like a sister to the people she was giving advice to, rather than like a psychiatrist. The correct answer was C? (not sure of the choice anymore), but it was the one which gave the most personal sympathy. You’re absolutely right.</p>

<p>Can someone provide details about the math free response that the answer was 48? I thought I remember getting 32 for something…</p>

<p>@nickspeaker</p>

<p>The square’s side length was 6. That means each triangle has a side length of 6. Since there are four triangles and we are counting the perimeter which doesn’t include one face, it is 8*6 = 48.</p>

<p>@psatoct19: The sentence was along the lines of…"Although she was (blank) in her early writing career, she later wrote more freely. The huge controversy going on about that question is between “deliberate” and “reclusive.” Personally, I picked deliberate because the writer was deliberate in her decisions of what to write, or considered carefully about the subject she was going to write about, but later on, she wrote whatever came to her (freely). Hope that helps!</p>

<p>@swerve22 I remember what I put. She was reassuring the person that people in Manhattan still maintain friendships with their friends back home. And yes I believe it was C.</p>

<p>I’m praying at the moment for a nice writing curve, something along the lines of 80,77,75,72,70,68,67…</p>

<p>JackTC</p>

<p>Oh thanks I remember now. Now I don’t know if my 32 is a mistake or if I’m jinxing myself… I should have gotten that problem right. I wanted perfect math. :S</p>

<p>So who else thinks that the math curve will be really harsh this year…(for form S)</p>

<p>What was the last sentence completion one from section one, about the director and protagonist?
apathy/raptness
honesty/disingenuousness
impatience/desultoriness</p>

<p>@nicklock</p>

<p>This writing section’s difficulty is equivalent (in my opinion) to the 2012 PSAT Saturday. So it is probably going to look something like this:</p>

<p>80, 76, 73, 71, 69, 68 …</p>
