October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>Anybody have a writing experimental out there??</p>

<p>I can’t remember what we took first, sputnik(exp) or air conditioning (real)! Help?</p>

<p>@thghp13 pretty sure it was ac first</p>

<p>I didn’t have sputnick and yes I think the answer Is when not that</p>

<p>Sent from my HTC One X using CC</p>

<p>the first section was the exp. one for me
@thghp13</p>

<p>no way, that was a no error about the plastic bags. I read over it like 3 to 4 times. The one about the western country singers is some of. I am 100% sure.</p>

<p>aight now can someone help me with the thing with carrier’s device?!
“the devices were used because their ability to…” or “Carrier’s device was used, where its ability to…”</p>

<p>the cuttlefish question had a singular subject.</p>

<p>It was “The cuttlefish” “It”</p>

<p>I can’t remember much else.</p>

<p>Do you guys think the writing curve will be generous?</p>

<p>The only writing question I had trouble with was the one about carrier’s device as well as the transition word before that sentence in the paragraph revision. I think i put Carrier’s device and everywhere as well as nevertheless</p>

<p>so theres no consensus for the grocery bag question? i put when as the error.</p>

<p>what did you put for the Earth and Moon problem?</p>

<p>@stephenhandal
so you put “the devices were used because their ability to…” or “Carrier’s device was used, where its ability to…”?</p>

<p>I thought writing was easy, but critical reading and math were hard. I’m hoping for good curves on the reading and math sections. </p>

<p>The one about the cuttlefish started with like researchers blah blah blah, but they … I put no error for that as well as the plastic bag one.</p>

<p>I put “Carrier’s device was used…, where.” I thought where was the key word here as well was Carrier’s device, because if you looked before and after the sentence, it fit better with the context.</p>

<p>didnt the cuttlefish problem have an ambigious pronoun in there</p>

<p>for the short passage on multiple discoveries, what would best undermine? was it if the two people exchanged letters for theories on calculus?</p>

<p>No, the only pronoun in the cuttlefish was they and they was referring back to researchers. Cuttlefish was singular I though in the context.</p>

<p>Yes, I remember getting that one about the exchanging of letters about calculus as it would have undermined the fact that they were not “simultaneous discoveries” and may have been led by one of them.</p>

<p>That was the one about their exchanging letters before the supposed time of discovery, right? Cuz that’s what I got.</p>

<p>@asdf1253 Yeah, I agree. Do you guys remember any of the tougher vocabulary questions or short passage questions and what you got? I got an experimental CR - do you know which one was the experimental?</p>
