October 2010 - International SAT

<h1>@<em>$@&%</em>@$&%*</h1>

<p>:((
that curve cuts my throat :(((</p>

<p>Section 2 Writing.</p>

<p>XYZ considers 1980s cartoons to be a model of what cartoons should be.</p>

<p>Did you guys put ‘should be’ as the answer? I chose no error.</p>

<p>that section seems like the experimental one</p>

<p>I should hope so!</p>

<p>So -4 CR, -4 Math, -2 W.</p>

<p>What am I looking at? :(</p>

<p>I distinctly remember 7/29 sentences to be “no error” in section 2. I just hope you guys had the same figure! Usually, its about 5-6 no errors :|</p>

<p>God, I hope we’ll have a different curve or or…I’m royally fu*ked. >.<</p>

<p>Guys ! plz tell me
the ques abt computer chips was a grid in ques , Right ?</p>

<p>Yes it was a grid in question with 256 as it’s answer.</p>

<p>@itsmylife- normally 1/6th of the questions(in each section-sentence correction and spotting the error) are no errors</p>

<p>ok so i found this on the march 2008 post as the last compilation of cr answers:</p>

<p>could anyone tell me what the diffident question was for sc? thanks</p>

<p>It is 17 days, 8 hours, 1 minute and 13 seconds until Thursday, 28 October 2010, 14:00:03 (New York time)…</p>

<p>Just sayin’</p>

<ul>
<li>marigold reminded of bad memories </li>
</ul>

<p>The option was “embarrassed her of her past” or something. Definitely had the word “embarrass”. Was that the correct option?
Damn, I can’t seem to remember.</p>

<p>No I think it was, ‘It brought back bad memories from her childhood…’</p>

<p>i agree with majorquest ^^^</p>

<p>Guys, for the math sections, what were the last questions for each section? For the freestyle one, it was the one about microchips, for the other section, it was about writing an essay with 10 pages/20pages, what was the other section?</p>

<p>Edit: also, what was the first question on the politics passage?</p>

<p>@pikacho:: the diffident question was:</p>

<p>Mr. X believed that his ______ ways was holding him back in public platforms (Paraphrased majorly :stuck_out_tongue: )</p>

<p>@amber: My memory is hardly that good.</p>

<p>Were there any questions after the q about inverse proportions? If so can you remember any of them?</p>

<p>As far as I know, SAT is a relative evaluation test right? So even though there is a predetermined score curve, scores can vary depending on the performances of the test takers. Hence, I don’t think the scores will be the same as last time (March, 2008)</p>

<p>Is there an idiomatic error? I think there is only “ability to” not “ability for”…not quite sure…</p>

<p>@ambersilence there weren’t any other questions after the inverse proportion one (the answer to that one was b, right?)</p>
