***Official 2015 June SAT (US Only) THREAD***

Trepidation:

“a feeling of fear or agitation about something that may happen.”

agitation = anxiety

@highlyaspiring99
I got 10/7 and 8000

I put 2 for the absolute value question because it was asking for the y-coordinate, right…?

@Q7heng I was stuck between contact w/ Pacific Islands & something about being able to move them on short ladders, but I think the former is correct.

@Q7heng , @glasshours I got that tooo… but what was the difference between the two theories in the passage? was it that the first discussed the fractures in the statues but the second didn’t

@Q7heng Yes thats right im almost positive

@Q7heng I said that if they had contact it would prove it, but I thought that was one of the harder questions.

@highlyaspiring99 I think we agree that that one was 2… but still not agreed about absolute value one :O. I remember getting something _000, but I’m not sure if it was 8000… it could have been 2000 or 4000. I think I got something like 10/7… that number is definitely familiar.

what did people get for the cups/pints of cupcake one?

FOr the |h(x)| One did it ever mention x HAD to be an integer?

If it didn’t the answers 0

If it did the answers 1

@Q7heng
that’s what I chose. I’m so stressed out right now because i barely understood that passage

Can we confirm director: enamored/zeal & languages- explained/independent? Not sure about the second one b/c I wasn’t sure if independent was synonymous to unrelated.

@glasshours
Yeah, which is why I was confused about the previous replies. It was asking for the least absolute value of a y-value.
3 x-values produced 2 as the least absolute value of y

@16elir - 25
@AsianBoyGenius - For difference in theories, I circled the choice about modern perspectives. The other guy based his theory on what those people said.

I believe the absolute value question didn’t say x had to be an integer, only giving inclusive range.

I remember specifically checking and Im nearly positive it just said “lowest value” or something it didn’t specify that the # had to be an integer @asianboygenius

@MusicManatee yes, it was def enamored of/zeal. and it was explained/independent… unrelated works but discerned does not make sense in the passage.

@AsianBoyGenius isn’t zero an integer?

I don’t think it can be anticipation/trepidation because she never decided to meet them and she had the oppportunity to whenever so that says anxiety not anticipation, which sounds more like excitement

@Chrysanthemum14 I got 0 because (something,0) (don’t remember what x was-- 2 or 3?) was a point on the graph and 0 would thus be the least possible absolute value… but I’m not sure.

What was the explained and independent sentence? I forgot :frowning:

@DrunkScholar - Wasn’t she about to meet them in the last paragraph of the passage?

Seriously, I could probably draw that absolute value graph right now. It never crossed the origin.

I feel like it was anticipation because there was no way she was cautious… And was the playing the loop vocab in context question “running”?
