Self-Evident = obvious.
Erroneous = wrong.
Do you guys actually think we might have to retake? I’m going to be so pissed if that’s the case… Because of Collegeboard’s own mistake…
Also what do you think the curves will look like for each section?
What did you guys get for the question in the grid in section that said a and b have the same ratio as b and c, if b is 20, what is abc? i didn’t feel as if I had enough information to answer that, I just put 20…
do you remember the exact question and answer choices? @ALibertarian
because wording changed the meaning/answer a lot
@TheNintendoChip I don’t want to take another test, regardless of whether it’s free. I felt like I did really well on this SAT, and it would suck if I had to retake it and got a lower score than what I got this time. This test left me feeling super confident until I found out they may cancel all our scores.
But the interjection was basically saying “duh.” So it’s self evident
It said that a/b = b/c
b = 20
so
a/20 = 20/c
a and c could only possibly be 20. It never said that a, b, and c had to be different positive integers.
so
abc = 20 (20) (20) = 8000
@curlypie99 I hope not. I think I did really well. I will riot if that’s the case.
Power went off here. Electric company says “scheduled maintenance.” School says, “But, we told you that was a bad day.” Retake date is rumored to be June 20.
@curlypie99 I thought it was 8000.
I think they can’t cancel that many scores because of their own screwup. And they can’t know who got too much time…
when people say “can’t argue with that” they use it to prove a point that otherwise may be wrong. For example, person 1: burgers are unhealthy
person 2: burgers have lettuce and lettuce is healthy. can’t argue with that, can you?
therefore, this phrase is often used with misguided statements
@curlypie99 It was 8000. since a/b=b/c, using the Means-Extremes property (i.e., cross multiplying) you get that ac=b^2. Substituting ac in abc gives you (b^2)(b) or b^3. 20^3=8000
@fidnslsdfjio It was the one that was about which of the following could be inferred from the lines.
Anyways, the answer to that one about which would prove the second passage’s theory was the one about contact with Pacific people I think.
@fidnslsdfjio - People use “can’t argue with that” when something is self-evident though.
@curlypie99 8000
No, it was self-evident. He’s saying “yoU can’t argue with that!” because it is a self-evident truth
@Chrysanthemum14 I got 8000 too
“can’t argue with that”
Meaning: I agree with what you said.; It sounds like a good idea.
ex. Tom: This sure is good cake. Bob: Can’t argue with that. Sue: What do you say we go for a swim? Fred: I can’t argue with that.
aka it’s obvious
Does anyone remember something like the opposition of inclination and convention/evidence and claim? What’s the answer for that?
But wasn’t the question asking for something like “the reason of saying this is to convey an attitude of _____”? And the author’s view is negative.
