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

So who thinks its 40 and who thinks its 80

@garybarry asked for PAQ, so 40 + 40= 80.
Given was 50 degrees.

Haha. That’s what I thought. I thought it should be contrasts. But no one seemed to put that.

@SpaceX It was 40 degrees… It asked for x :open_mouth:

I know I wouldn’t be so stupid as to read the problem wrong, I’ve got 0 wrong so far

Just reiterating a point. It really did ask for X, not 2x.

it asked for the angle.

“shrugs” We’ll see.

Does anyone remember any answers to the improving paragraphs section??

Guys please help me… I think I screwed up my essay
the promt was :
whether Young people should focus on one talent
introduction: normal background and three part thesis
My examples were:

Neurobiology- Eric Huber a famous neurobiologist discovered the connection between math and music and leaving out one or the other would be detrimental to the other (worded a lot better)

Athenian literature- in the moral of many stories such as Oedipus Rex, greek authors emphasized the importance of not focusing on one thing too much. Oedipus Rex in particular demonstrated one tragic flaw in particular, focusing too much on fixing the city and not himself

College Admissions- harvard admissions directer “John Mccormick,” argued that only people who have many skills will get accepted into college and go on to be successful

I had a good intro, 3 developed body paragraphs and i had no space at the end for a conclusion( i filled up both pages) What do you guys think i got… please help I’m freaking out

Does anyone remember the question " as the book popularity began to grow … underlined option was overturned, prohibiting , it was the grammar section

Yes. I think answer is overturned-> overturn. Since it says as the popularity continues to grow

I put No error, but i think it was prohibiting, because it need a “that prohibitied”

I think it can’t be prohibit wrong… Since N ving. … = N that v… The man wearing a black shirt. I think it’s overturn/no error

What do you guys think i got… please help I’m freaking out

I put on Contrast as the error too , as the subject in the first clause is singular r

@JuicyMango I concur as the subjects were singular if you took everything else away

For “the land”. Is it necessary for civilization or perfect in art or whatsoever?

Necessary for civilization

The math answer was 80… I
