October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>@rajrajraj3 I thought the question was 2B1 and 2B8 and yeah I think I put 7.</p>

<p>@StudiousMaximus, sorry for the hostility. I’m usually not so confident or icky about my answers. My critical reading was pretty good this time for some reason though. I think you were just on the bad end of my anger because I was debating a bunch of other critical reading questions earlier and I was all heated!</p>

<p>But if you do that you’re missing the repeats. 8 kids missed 2 days. 1 kid missed 3 days. The graph gave the total number of students that were absent over a week. If you just subtract what you told me, you’re counting too many kids who missed one day. Whatever, I won’t be dogmatic about it but this sucks. I hate the math curve because if you miss just once you lose that 800 while its different for the other two sections.</p>

<p>can someone say more of the nevertheless problem plzzzzzzzz</p>

<p>I think that the answer was on responding to this problem… Nevertheless didn’t fit because that would imply sort of a reversal, like: the movie theatre was very hot. Nevertheless, the theatre went on without help from air conditioning."</p>

<p>I put responding to this problem. It was the writing passage about air conditioners.</p>

<p>mathmoneyman when you subtract 16 for the kids who missed 2 days then subtract 3 for the kid who missed three days, 71 is the number of kids who missed only 1 day, so you need to add the number of kids who missed more than one day which is (8+1)=9. 71+9=80</p>

<p>1.) do you guys remember passages about an intern coming to america and one about earth, venus, and mars?
2.) for the yoyo question, was one of the answers “commercial advertisement is often the answer to everything” or something like that?</p>

<p>oh okay does anyone remember the third, fifth, or sixth problems in writing on the test by any chance? LOL</p>

<p>I also said responding to this problem</p>

<p>Was there one that said has not been proven yet for the apes passage?</p>

<p>rajajaj
there’s one that said has not been DISPROVEN yet
it was the first writers response to the second</p>

<p>yea happy2012 I also put commercial is often answer.</p>

<p>also i still don’t remember the context of the responding to/nevertheless problem
what was it asking?</p>

<p>Oh thats what I meant. So was it has not been disproven yet</p>

<p>Studious, you’re wrong about the yo-yo question… Sorry. =P</p>

<p>rajraj yes it was that one</p>

<p>It was talking about the part of the passage where movie theatre owners lost business in the summer months. So it would be “responding to the problem” Carnie (?) installed air condition in the theatre…blahdiblahblah</p>

<p>But the sentence was something like "In 1925, air condition guy’s name convinced Paramount to install AC in its theaters.</p>

<p>Doesn’t “Responding to this problem, in 1925 AC guy’s name convinced…”
seem wrong? The verb structure is so awkward.</p>

<p>Now “Nevertheless, in 1925 AC guy’s name convinced…”
seems much better</p>

<p>For the people arguing the yo yo dinosaur thing, look at the next paragraph. THE ANSWER, THEN, MUST LIE IN COMMERCIALIZATION</p>
