October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>@catchtwentythree
Yes, that was real. I had writing experimental.</p>

<p>@feedback411</p>

<p>I believe it’s “that of the opposite direction,” because when you say “traveling” again, it’s a little redundant. You’ve already used that word in the sentence, so you don’t want to use it again unless it’s necessary, and in that case it wasn’t.</p>

<p>Thanks, you guys :)</p>

<p>I really wish we can get our scores as soon as we finish the test, because this waiting game is not sitting well with me.</p>

<p>@coconutkk - Haha, I didn’t have it and clearly you can tell that.</p>

<p>@Shootmedown: 20300 = 2<em>10^4 + 3</em>10^2 so a=4 and b=2, thus a+b = 4+2 = 6
6.5 was a possible answer, yes.</p>

<p>38 < 6x + 2 < 44
36 < 6x < 42
6 < x < 7</p>

<p>If anyone is interested in curves, here they are (historically):</p>

<p>It would be awesome if we could take tests on the computer and get scores instantly.</p>

<p>I wouldn’t like that at all! I don’t like the 3 week waiting period, but having the scores immediately after finishing would be worse!</p>

<p>Was one of the vocab answer choices baleful, malevolent?</p>

<p>2,3,4 were the real sections.</p>

<p>bro its play because role is the subject which is singular</p>

<p>can confirm the answers?

  1. unflattering
  2. usual american source - typical explanation
  3. greek - stories change with social changes
  4. author uses present tense to
  5. perhaps sentence function - alternative explanation
  6. profound or accessible - he made his writings easy to understand
  7. metaphor question about the daughter and dad - memories that he is willing to share
  8. dinosaur - puzzling phenomenon
  9. scholarly enthusiasm</p>

<p>@Uniquevibrations do you mean plays? If role was the subject and since it was singular then the verb should be plays</p>

<ol>
<li>contrast with the previous theories</li>
<li>accessible, because they are easy to understand</li>
</ol>

<p>The others are correct…</p>

<p>it was an estimation, so 130 was the correct answer</p>

<p>I just finished the SAT. Writing was super easy. I think I got two no errors. At least a 780 - none wrong on multiple choice and 11 or 12 on essay. First two math sections were easy and last one was a bit harder. I thought critical reading vocab (always the last couple on each section) were hard… I got an experimental critical reading</p>

<p>@galinda I got 12 for the perimeter I think. I had the humpback whale question too but I dont remember what I got</p>

<p>@avb1194 which one?</p>

<p>How many no errors did you guys have total?</p>

<p>can we go over the creative writing passages. There was one question I wasn’t sure about. It had to do with their attitudes toward creative writing classes. I was stuck between “both found them to be useful but unecessary” or “they both valued input from classmates”</p>

<p>Math - It was ridiculously easy.
Writing - ridiculously hard
Reading - Okay.</p>

<p>For the reading, all the passages were pretty decent except the passage about primate learning english. The passages were easy, but some of the questions were pretty difficult.
What did you guys get for different between passage 1 and passage 2 ? What method did the arthur of passage 1 used, but not passage 2 ? How do u think the arthur of passage would characterize the arthur of passage 1 according to last paragraph ?
Also for the sentence completion part, what did you guys get for the critics and “elucidate” one. Sorry I do not remember the questions…Also I think mollifying is one of the answers.
Guys help me out</p>
