***October 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

@kingofpotato: Finicky was correct, but I put dainty :confused:

Last October I got one error on math and it was 770. October math is fairly easy. @JuicyMango

@browniebunny: 1. Analytical
2. Origin
3. personal experience
4. details relatively unimportant
I can substantiate any of these.

I thought the explicit/implicit was that Atlantis was one of a bunch legendary lost cities, choice a I believe

why do you think its origin instead of rationale

I put rationale @JuicyMango

@JuicyMango
I put origins, but please substantiate it so I can relax. Also, how are you certain that the teacher was implying that details donā€™t really matter?

it never said atlantis was a bunch of lost cities its a city

What was the question for origins?

and for Internet question, the passage 1 has first paragraph saying ā€œI lost my focus on reading for a long timeā€

is this

unease?
bitterness?
despair?

and also,

can someone remind me what the ā€œweary of profession vs detail relatively unimportantā€ question from Japanese Zen?

is 4. the one that asked why teachers donā€™t focus so much on the details with students? I forget

unease

Unease @pinodyne

I put unease as my answer, since it made the most sense based on some little details in context. Bitterness & Despair didnā€™t really work.

For the profession one, I had something like the teachers do not believe in their abilities @pinodyne

Hello, I took the SAT (the full 4 hour exam) today, but Iā€™m a bit worried because I made a mistake at the beginning of the test when I was bubbling in the test booklet iD # into my answer sheet. I remember that I needed to enter the bar code number of the test, the test booklet ID #, and such into my answer sheet, but I think I may have bubbled exactly one digit of one of the test booklet ID numbers wrong. Would this affect my scores somehow? If so, would the CollegeBoard be able to fix it?

@pinodyne I put unease because of the first lines of the first paragraph that described her anxiety

Same

@ambitionsquared: It has to do with the few sentences immediately preceding the line parameters specified in the question. It said something about the mother being upset but then the author said ā€œbut she is not the one who came up with itā€ and the goes on to explain the origins of such behavior. And btw the behavior refers to the Japanese Zenā€¦sorry but idk why but suddenly im forgetting everything. I just know there was VERY strong evidence before the lines that signaled the author would digress from the main topic to describe the ā€œoriginsā€.
