<p>Oh well, we'll just have to wait a week and see. Perhaps somebody who ordered the Question and Answer service can tell us what it was.</p>
<p>I could have sworn that it was of/for... =|</p>
<p>I saw on the Collegeboard website to check for scores on February 13th. Is that the day that they are available online only, or are scores expected to arrive through the mail that day?</p>
<p>this is for online/by phone scores only</p>
<p>wooo i did awful.</p>
<p>TWo weeks passes so fast..</p>
<p>not when you're waiting in anticipation..
6 MORE DAYS!</p>
<p>Really? I went to Japan and forgot about SAT completely for 7 days...I didn't even remember the SAT after I came back until someone reminded me today. This must be the first time I'm so relaxed waiting for Collegeboard. </p>
<p>But my scores better be good. =/</p>
<p>oasis, I'm sure you did very well. Didn't you get a 238 on psats?</p>
<p>Yeah. =p</p>
<p>I did catch a mistake on section 10 though right before time was called and didn't have time to change it. =/ eek.</p>
<p>So you think high PSAT scorers will probably have high SAT scores?</p>
<p>I sure hope so.</p>
<p>I always found the PSAT to be easier than the SAT though. The SAT demands endurance and accuracy at the same time while the PSAT mainly focuses on accuracy.</p>
<p>I hate the PSAT. I actually think the SAT is easier because of the better curve.</p>
<p>I think the psat is easier for the same reasons oasis listed. After taking the SAT, I was mentally exhausted. The SAT is almost twice as long as the PSAT.</p>
<p>PSAT high score will usually indicate you will do well, but not necessarily as good as you did on the PSAT. Once you've scored 230+ it means you get very, very few wrong and the SAT has more questions, thus increasing the chance you got a few more wrong.</p>
<p>Going back to a topic from way back when, I have just received an answer from ETS about the black hole analogy question. I have the actual question in front of me, as well as the passage. Here's a brief excerpt.</p>
<p>Which of the following most resembles the relationship between "black hole activity" and "star formation" (lines 11-12) as described in the passage?</p>
<p>A) A volcanic eruption on one continent results in higher rainfal totals on another continent.
B) Industrial emissions in one region lead toan increase in airborne pollutants in adjacent regions.
C) A drought in a wilderness area causes a significant loss of vegetation in that area.
D) Decreased oil production in one country results in higher gas prices in oil-dependent countries.
E) Overfishing in a gulf leads to an increase in the population of smaller aquatic organisms.</p>
<p>That is the verbatim question and possible answers from the exam. Here are some excerpts from the explanation:</p>
<p>"First, the passage describes black holes as 'efficient engines of destruction,' with intense gravity' that can heat up to millions of degrees 'material spiraling into them.'"</p>
<p>"What stands out above all is that the star formation is a natural process somehow related to the intense power that the black holes generate. WE can eliminate B, D, and E because they describe reactions caused by human activity."</p>
<p>"...C causes a LOSS of vegetation IN THAT AREA. The volcanic eruption in A, on the other hand, generates rainfall ON ANOTHER CONTINENT in a way analogous tothe black hole generating the formation of stars farther out."</p>
<p>"The black hole's 'universe' is a galaxy and the volcano's is the Earth; the stars form farther out in the galaxy, and the rain falls on another continent."</p>
<p>There you all go; I hope it helps. The correct answer was indeed A. However, this was a very hard problem: "This is one of the most difficult questions on the test because it requires a complex type of reasoning."</p>
<p>Really? I found it quite easy. On the otehr hand I found the shorter passage about the mechanical pencil difficult to interpret.</p>
<p>How'd you get the actual question from ETS?</p>
<p>yeah...how in the world did they give u all this info?!</p>
<p>I call BS; then again, we'll all know by monday.</p>
<p>dam. that's another one i missed.</p>
