October 2015 SAT Preparation

Thanks@CHD2013 and @synonyms for the corrections. :slight_smile:

I also have a grammar question

When I see different tenses in the sentence, I get very nervous. I once put E (and the correct answer was E), but then I looked too deeply into the sentence and picked a verb.

How do I know when a sentence is correct or incorrect if it has different tenses? (not only the underlined parts)

@BethanyD - you really just have to learn enough about correct verb tenses to trust your knowledge or at least intuition

@CHD2013 at school they’ve been teaching me for years about the 16 tenses and giving me sentences in which i have to pick the most suitable of the 16 (and I used to get A+ in the tests)
but generally when I look at a sentence with many tenses I panic
 I don’t know why

Yeah, that sucks. I’m not sure what you can do other than search for ways to stay calm, focus and use your knowledge.

Guys how was the paper? Rate in level of difficulty 1 for easy and 5 for very difficult.

I think I messed up writing

what was that sock question

Guys what did you get for the slope of line AB in the trapezoid question? was it 3/5???

yes it was 3/5

@ambitionsquared Thanks!!

Wat slope question?

answer to sock question was 12 @doodlesack414

how did you do it?

also in the passage with the science experiment/ laboratory thing with the little species on the slide that asked like what does the teacher mean when he says to appreciate the species that started with an s, was it understand the nature of it or appreciate its movements? i said understand the nature (sorry i couldn’t be more specific in my description of the question everything is a little hazy)

and was sufficiently enough redundant

yea i got understand nature

For the zen passage, was it determination to challenge her students?

The other choices were like “mock other teaching styles” and "students learned from her methods (?) and it was #24 in the japanese zen passage.

I said sufficiently enough was redundant i think (i either chose b or e) pretty sure b. K MATH SECTION OMG. I was completely fine with everything except for ****ing question 3 (3?!? Srsly!) it was like you add 3 numbers to get 32. I picked c the options were add 3 evens 3 odds or 2 odds one even (i chose 2 odds one even). For some reason this question stumped me. Other than that there were 2 vocabulary.

1: Although the child was 
 He later became 
 And enterprised
I chose slothish and conscientious was that right ?

2: the tone of the speaker became 

He was condemning soap and shi*ting on other stuff (idk the sentence acc)
Realistic options were admoniting or avarcious i chose admoniting

& ppl got 7 for the second last written math right?
