*OFFICIAL* January 28, 2006 SAT Thread

<p>For the antarctica one, I put "is critical" for the make or break one.</p>

<p>Make or break implies a direct impact on something. Being critical of does not, it merely comments on a situation. Support or dispute are actual actions, and have actual results.</p>

<p>And for the black hole one (short reading)... one of hte question is like volcano one
the other one is like "to the suprise of the scientist, blah blah blah"
whats the answer to this one....
is it... to intoduce a new idea or restate argument</p>

<p>I put to introduce new idea. What'd you put?</p>

<p>I think we should just wait and see.. 2 weeks is not that bad</p>

<p>I also put introduce new idea...</p>

<p>what's funny is that I got nominated for Presidential Scholar and I did terrible on today's sat. lol.</p>

<p>I think I put "new view on previous info in the passage" or something. Anyway, I agree with excel, I'm getting kinda tired of torturing myself over answers too.</p>

<p>Yeah, I guess so. I'm off to bed.</p>

<p>but isn't he trying to introduce new ideas? how is he restating previous argument</p>

<p>I put challenges recent discoveries. I think I'm worng since so many put introduces new idea.</p>

<p>Who care about SAT (except colleges). Colleges only see people as numbers because of the SAT (gpa, rank, scores). It does not depict what kind of person you are and the ablities you have.</p>

<p>ill leave yall with that thought...I m out!</p>

<p>do you remember what the question about the introduces / restates one was?</p>

<p>How did you solve tx+12y=-3 with slope -10?</p>

<p>This really held me up. Thanks</p>

<p>Oh that one. Make y the subject of the equation; you'll get something like -t/12x. -t/12 = -10.</p>

<p>Or something similar. I can't remember exactly.</p>

<p>Anyone remember x/12 for something?</p>

<p>What did you say for the writng one about the Gazette? I said B, lost.</p>

<p>For the C.R. Question about the girl and pencil, was she being superfiucial? Also, what was the question for "flair and authority"?</p>

<p>for the slope question, all you have to do is isolate they and you get 120.</p>

<p>For the short passage black holes question, I put that it was "supported argument in previous sentence?"</p>

<p>It was something like "Black holes have very little influence outside their relative space. So it is surprising that they are involved in the formation of stars far away" That's not the right wording, but it gets the point across.</p>
