***Official January 2015 SAT (US ONLY) THREAD***

I agree with @gustachurro‌ . ^ I really don’t think the answer is red. That wouldn’t make sense. But now I’m worried because theres no way that many people didn’t see that…

@medicaldreamer99‌ You’re correct; postage question is definitely not documenting evolution of a pasttime. How could it do that when it’s only one small paragraph long and it’s specifically talking about one woman and her interaction with her nephews?

Oh my god, thank the Lord that I did change those answers at the last second. Do you guys also remember the terra forming passage about the Mars being treated by the thief something thing?

@synzie256‌ For the postal one I got “to explain the evolution of a past time” :confused:

@cherrypop the math section was exactly like the act science and math combined it was SO strange. guess they’re testing crazy stuff for the 2016 test!

What’s the “notion” in the Mars passage?

What were the other choices? @Anonymoose3‌

@Tennistiger‌ Notion in the Mars passage was referring to the idea that humans think they can transform the environments of other planets to become Earth-like

humans making other planets like Earth

@synzie256‌ thanks!

was the answer “something analogy” for the question in the authentic music pasage where it asks what is “blah, blah, search for the authentic, a quest”?? Please help?

RE: Postal CR passage

Like for: TO DOCUMENT THE EVOLUTION OF A PAST TIME

Mark as helpful for: TO EXPLAIN THE APPEAL OF A HOBBY

@ABCGIRL‌ I put extended analogies. What were the other options though? I remember struggling on that q

can someone take a look at my question above please?

i don’t think it’s the evolution thing. I mean the short passage is too brief and also the passage was like this:
Kid gets postage stamps
Description of the stamps
Other kids copy the kid and buy their own stamps
They trade stamps like pokemon cards.
Not exactly revolution.

I am going to delete this in 5 min in case SAT gets mad at me for becoming to vivid.

@Tennistiger…i think one other choice was Assertive something…i dont remember, but that question stumbled me.

For the postage stamp collection passage, I said that it was to “explain the appeal of a particular object.”

The only hesitation I had was the fact that it said “a particular object”, but suppose the “object” could simply be the collection as a singular.

@cherrypop Agreed. The main thing about the passage was that it focused on the stamps themselves (hence the description of the vivid colors etc…), not the action of stamp-collecting

I am sure its the extended analogy, it did say quest after all. So it is like an analogy.

i put appeal of particular object
