October 2011 SAT General Discussion

<p>weighing words meant considering carefully</p>

<p>I got fickleness for an answer. I got mercurial for another answer.</p>

<p>Gains and losses was correct. It said something like “it brought many inspiring writings but it brought dull ones as well”. I remember it specifically said it said dull for a comparison.</p>

<p>i got fickleness im pretty sure</p>

<p>What was the percentage for the pollution problem? I have asked this at least 5 times</p>

<p>He said the recent books should move back to Thoreau because Thoreau was not long and exhaustive. I said going back to human centered because the very end it said Thoreau asked the question why live? that is human centered approach</p>

<p>Yes fickleness was one of them, so was mercurical and exacerbate. I remembered because it was the opposite of ameliorate which means to make better so exacerbate meant to make worse.</p>

<p>can anyone confirm this was the experiment CR. I remember getting about 10 Sentence completion, a short 2 passage (passage 1 passage 2), and then I got 2 longer passages (the one about art/detour, and the one about the roommate of was nasty to the guy). I messed up on this section as it was so long.</p>

<p>VT, it was 90%.</p>

<p>it was FUNDAMENTALLY HUMAN-CENTERED</p>

<p>@satepicfail - ‘weighing her words’ was ‘considering carefully.’</p>

<p>The percentage was 90% (came out to be about 89.77%).</p>

<p>SAT100 has the gains/losses part right.</p>

<p>can someone start putting together a list of answers now?</p>

<p>@justinkacherian it wasn’t experimental</p>

<p>I put social injustices were ameliorated for one of them? Does anyone else remember this?</p>

<p>@Gottahavawawa - You sure? Bc thats what I put too :)</p>

<p>i think the experimental reading was about an indian grandma cuz i didnt get that one</p>

<p>The question about Thoreau and what the author thought about his work. Was it scientifically oriented or fundamentally human (something along those lines)?</p>

<p>third time taking it</p>

<p>there was less math than the other times and more reading</p>

<p>I did well at reading and writing…but my strong suit, math, seemed to have a high amount of level 4 and 5 questions in comparison to the last 2 SAT’s</p>

<p>I like this discussion :)</p>

<p>wait both exacerbate and ameliorate were answer on two completely different sentence completions right?</p>

<p>did anyone get “a call for an alternative”</p>
