Hey guys. What about the question “common for 2 passages” about Franklin? Like it was the big step, more for mailing ships etc.
Oh, also creativity passage:
Enjoy=use?
And refinement or originality?
Enjoy = command.
Originality.
@Synonyms the math one you said: “y/x<x+2 (A). Because it said x was divided BY y.” if x is divided by y. then that means x/y…but i think the answer was y/x something dont remember. I dont remember it being A though…
Results are out in 18 days.
@bigBoy2016 did you choose B?
@bigBoy2016 It’s all kind of hazy, but I do remember that there were only two answers with y/x, and only A was y/x< rather than y/x>.
@ypmagic the answer to the last math problem was 49 I didn’t see the two digit part so I gridded 4 instead.
ahh dammit i picked iconoclast instead of originality
I chose refinement cuz the passage said that they enlarge a field or create a new one so originality won’t do for the enlarging part but refinement can take care of the two
@samuelfrimps I picked originality too. Refinement doesn’t mean creating a new one as well. It means making a field better but not enlarging it. Enlarging is supposingly adding something right? So adding something is adding something new = originality? Idk haha. Just a thought.
@SATscorer Let me verify
Yes it is
I ended up choosing originality too
The math question with the 3 regular figures who also had 12.3
@ypmagic It was explicitly stated in Passage 2 that, to paraphrase, only fools and captains of mail ships refused to take an advice when it was given. That advice was Benjamin Franklin’s map. In passage 1, Folger - Franklin’s cousin, told him that the mail ships refused to take the advice of the sailors AND refused the help when they were caught in the Gulf Stream. Nowhere in the second passage did the author said that the mail ships wandered off course, nevermind because of Franklin’s map. Just because they kept getting caught in the Gulf Stream doesn’t mean that they wandered off course. It means that they were so set in their ways that absolutely nothing could change their minds. And what hypothetical situation you are talking about? If you were talking about the last parts of the paragraph that started with “if” all over the places, those were rhetorical devices, meant to convey that Franklin’s map wasn’t accurate.
The author of the second passage didn’t say that the map was “essential” to navigation. He only said that it was an important achievement. And those were not “meticulous details that would partially discredit Franklin’s map”. Those were modern scientific facts that completely contradicted the details in Franklin’s map. In the first place, depicting the Gulf Stream as having “unmoving walls” like a river does was simply… wrong. The Gulf Stream isn’t static, nor does it consist completely of “warmer water” as Franklin described it to do. cough Finding Nemo cough As the author of Passage 2 pointed out, while Franklin’s map certainly was useful (because just knowing the general area of the Gulf Stream was enough to deter other people, aside from fools and captains of mail ships, from going anywhere near it), it was certainly not accurate.
“I thought Ben Franklin had scientific ambitions because he gathered the data, calculated everything, and published it. After all, Franklin got the information from his friend.” You are conjecturing. Nowhere in passage 1 were Franklin’s ambitions mentioned. The whole of Passage 1 only talked about his accomplishment.

Ubiquitous means everywhere. “The idealistic image of an American farm is UBIQUITOUS/EVERYWHERE because it denies the suffering and pain that the farmers go through…” That simply does not make sense.
Ugh, without the questions, I remember nothing.
DAMN DAMN DAMN I DIDN’T SEE THE TWO-DIGIT. I DIDN’T SEE THE TWO-DIGIT. Ugh, I feel so stupid. There goes my 800 in Math…
Do you think that if my Math score goes badly, can my Math 2 score make it up or something?
Btw, where are you all from? 
I’m from Kazakhstan and that’s quite rare lol
I’m from Ghana
@ypmagic THAT’S THE PROBLEM. ON MY OWN, I REMEMBER NOTHING.
I only vaguely remember that I put denies in the second blank, but I honestly can’t recall what I put in the first blank. Something along the line of problematic or troubling…
I’m from Vietnam.
I’m sure the farmer one is supposed to be the misleading answer choice
