October 2010 - International SAT

<p>so what did you guys think about the difficulty of the CR section, personally I found the first and third long reading sections hard :/</p>

<p>hey guys…
i am still confused about which writing section was experimental…
is it sec 2 or sec 6?</p>

<p>Does anyone have answers for these?</p>

<ol>
<li>About the Japanese mother: the smell of the tomatoes mentioned by the women represents… what? past memories something ??</li>
<li>Politics Passage: “views” in Passage 2 would be thought by Converse(the guy in Passage 1) as … susceptible to inherent lack of internal coherency OR based on Belief Systems?</li>
<li>Frost Interview: The significance of letters published after his death … proves that author is right about Frost’s genuine character OR shows Frost’s deep hate against critics?</li>
<li>Gardening (Charlie) Passage: “Rock eats stones” - rhetorical device… to introduce a new topic OR provide shocking fact to tell something?</li>
<li>Japanese mother passage: last part–what does it reveal about the narrator? is it guit OR fear of being punished?</li>
<li>politics: what would passage 1 view about the line “they were often not philosophers” in passage 2? crass exaggeration OR unnecessarily provocative?</li>
<li>Vocab: mechanics – didn’t anyone write complex&involved? it was something like because it was complex, self-mechanics cannot handle anything more involved than simple things …</li>
</ol>

<p>And can anyone post questions about chimpanzees and the answers to them as well? can’t remember much about that passage :(</p>

<p>Sec 2 with peanut and george washington paragraph.</p>

<p>so sec 2 was experimental?</p>

<p>No, it’s 6 experimental</p>

<p>@David</p>

<ol>
<li>I got ‘reminded her of an unpleasant experience’</li>
<li>I think I put the internal coherency one? Anyone else put this?</li>
<li>author is right about Frost’s genuine character</li>
<li>introduce new topic</li>
<li>Gahh I put error in judgment. Not sure about this :/</li>
<li>I put gross understatement for this b/c passage 1 was really critical of the voters’ ability…</li>
<li>ME TOO! the other answer with ‘straightforward’ wouldn’t make sense b/c the mechanic cannot handle anything MORE (blank), which means the blank has to mean something complex/difficult.</li>
</ol>

<p>For the last CR:</p>

<p>Passage two: “That people are not exactly philosophers”. What could be the response of author 1 for this quote? </p>

<p>Having yet to direct a box-office hit despite repeated attempts, the director has found such commercial success… <- is it elusive or tenable? </p>

<p>Writing section 10: rises/ raises consumer index?</p>

<p>These are the ones of the top of my head.</p>

<p>“That people are not exactly philosophers” is this the comparing passage one about political systems? If so, then I think the answer was something like grossly undermine… or whatnot</p>

<p>It’s elusive, not tenable.</p>

<p>Raises? I think.</p>

<p>Wow, so hard to think about questions I did 24 hours ago… And are there really so few international kids around here =P</p>

<p>Thank you Solami!! I can’t agree more with number 7 :)</p>

<p>"Having yet to direct a box-office hit despite repeated attempts, the director has found such commercial success… <- is it elusive or tenable? "

  • the answer is elusive.</p>

<p>“4. Gardening (Charlie) Passage: “Rock eats stones” - rhetorical device… to introduce a new topic OR provide shocking fact to tell something?”
-neither of the choice seems to make any sense.</p>

<p>“5. Japanese mother passage: last part–what does it reveal about the narrator? is it guit OR fear of being punished?”

  • definitely not fear of being punished. but i think, i got this wrong.</p>

<p>“7. Vocab: mechanics – didn’t anyone write complex&involved? it was something like because it was complex, self-mechanics cannot handle anything more involved than simple things …”

  • for this choice i think i chose ‘intricate and (the other word)’.</p>

<p>Did anyone NOT get a short 2 question-passage about someone describing baby as an angel? I think that was my experimental section…</p>

<p>“2. Politics Passage: “views” in Passage 2 would be thought by Converse(the guy in Passage 1) as … susceptible to inherent lack of internal coherency OR based on Belief Systems?”

  • ans is ‘susceptible to inherent lack of internal coherency’</p>

<p>“3. Frost Interview: The significance of letters published after his death … proves that author is right about Frost’s genuine character OR shows Frost’s deep hate against critics?”

  • author is right about frost’s genuine character</p>

<p>for “rock eats stones” I thought it was intro to new topic b/c it seemed like a shocking ‘hook’ of some sort. haha that was just my reasoning.</p>

<p>does anyone remember the moving dot question (reflecting about two lines) for math? anyone get B???</p>

<p>I got that too but I had 4 cr sections… I think that was experimental.</p>

<p>moving dot ans is A. very eazzzy</p>

<p>@Solami
Reflecting dot = A
Rock eat stones = unconventional way to introduce new topic (at least thats what i put)</p>

<p>@tpain:
I put lack of internal coherency</p>

<p>@dwchung:
Yeah the CR with the a short passage on the girl loving a baby is experimental. The vocab in that section included pristine/quixotic and neophyte (cant remember the others).</p>

<p>Does ‘contentious’ ring a bell for anyone (vocab question)? Also, what did people get for the last two on the writing section? #9 was either does or do, and #10 was about salt and empires</p>

<p>i definitely got the salt empire wrong(#10).</p>

<p>shaeyyatttt that means -2 for math already and everyone said it was easy. :frowning: effff. I probably got a 730 then…</p>

<p>and yeah, I got contentious as one of the answers. for #9, I think I got either do and #10 I can’t really remember the answer choices. :/</p>

<p>Salomi- Even i put error in judgement! Is it right? </p>

<p>And you guys, which writing section is experimental??
Is it the one with question 3 about popcorn/popcorn machines? Or the markedly increase/diminshing etc etc ??</p>

<p>And to get a 700 in CR, how many errors can we make? </p>

<p>And for the last writing section, did u guys put either do or either does? I put either do, was stuck in that</p>
