*OFFICIAL* January 28, 2006 SAT Thread

<p>it was a function problem for the profits of the two people to be equal, don't remember the exact wording but 700 was right.</p>

<p>Another compilation.</p>

<p>Critical Reading</p>

<p>cathartic</p>

<p>space:
*air-pollutants in different locations was the answer, because no it said "blackholes are INTERTWINED with formation of stars" that means they are directly related
^there is still debate on this. It could have been volcano...but moving on.</p>

<p>Plato:
"the academic referring to plato": cynism was the answer
also the utopia thing would hinder creativity
plato's feelings on odysseus: contempt</p>

<p>Girl Reporter:
pitiable was an answer
she was tired of...being teased about her boyfriend
"being out of character"</p>

<p>native american:
map legend key
legal indian thing - binding legal verbal agreement
warnings of ill conceived assent
POV was that of an "informed outsider"?</p>

<p>There was a length of 2 at the top, 1 on each side then the extension was unknown with the bottoms (total equating 2) of 1 and 1</p>

<p>That automatically gives you 6. You had to solve the area of the large portion of the rectangle without the extension. 2X1=2. If 9/4 (or 2.25) was the then the extension had to have an obvious 1(given)X its length=.25 (since difference between 2.25 TOTAL - 2 from the big).</p>

<p>So you figure out 1X.25=.25</p>

<p>So you have the sides, .25X2=.5 2X2=4 and 1X2=2</p>

<p>add it together= 6.5</p>

<p>okay heres my list for the math:</p>

<p>8r^3
I only for the 2x quesion, it was like even-odd
I and II for x * y symbol thing
I, II, III for medians of 7,10, 8.5
k + p + s for the measurements of 180
62.5 for triangle area
9 sides for polygon</p>

<p>any others?</p>

<p>i agree with you on all of them, but it seems i got the cynicism and pitiable wrong.</p>

<p>can someone ex´plain to me the compensation one, i got confused and had like no time left so I just skipped it</p>

<p>for the plato one, I got snobbishness as elitist=snob</p>

<p>thrills4ever, your wrong for the medians question, it's not 8.5, notice 8.5x7 is NOT an integer, so it cannot possibly be. the answer was I and III (7 and 10)</p>

<p>it said real numbers, not integers, i read it like 3 times</p>

<p>The compensation one was 300+.2X=200+.25X, I think.</p>

<p>pitiable wasn't the answer? Crap. (Plus I still don't get the whole 14 day thing, lol)</p>

<p>foolonthehill is right, it said real gosixers</p>

<p>I don't think ill-conceived assent is correct. Assent means permision, and the passage had nothing to do with permission of any sort.</p>

<p>seth blue, you have to look at it from the whole perspective. Just because he was an elitist, doesn't mean the answer is snobbishness. THe question dealt with how his views were and they were cynical.</p>

<p>you're all gonna have a good laugh, but I kinda screwed up the Math (was aiming for 700-750, will probably get 600-680) not because I was anxious/stressed out/not prepared (I got 720 on practices on avrg), but because I frickin' forgot to take a L-e-a-k in the morning [didn't feel the need after breakfast :-)] and so I was in bad "shape" during Section 1 (Essay) & 2 (both Sect. 2 and Sect. 3 were 20-question Math sections, so one of them -Sect. 2, I hope!! - was experimental). I went to the restroom after Sect. 2 and so I felt much better for Section 3, and did better on it.</p>

<p>Overall (4 Sections, 1 was experimental), I didn't answer 3 or 4 questions I think (!!!!), and made 2 mistakes I believe... so 600-680 hopefully....</p>

<p>Ok, that's said and done :-)</p>

<p>I think the answer was pitiable and not inferior.</p>

<p>it's 6.5 since 1.25+.25 is key.</p>

<p>Are we sure the weird symbol one was I and II? II didn't work for me, so I just put I. Besides that, I think I may have gotten the rest right!!! (sorry just got into USC, so really happy).</p>

<p>I don't know, there was no idication of cynicism in the passage and I think we're advised to not read between the lines, so...</p>

<p>yeh, informed outsider's what I put.</p>

<p>I don't think I said "ill-conceived assent" either. But I'd have to know the question again.</p>
