<p>Early December</p>

<p>what about the critical reading section? does anybody remember anything from that? did you all think it was really hard?</p>

<p>i remember that the one about Spanish was that it was his guardian or something</p>

<p>Vaguy89, check this thread: <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=250255%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=250255&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>wat about the question in the Spanish story about why he was unfair to both spanish and english? wat was the asnwer</p>

<p>perpindicular is always the negative opposite slope.... so if one line is 3/4 a line perp. to it must be -4/3</p>

<p>bball16, it was that he emphasized one historical event too much. (I think)</p>

<p>yes deafening is right.....</p>

<p>wait so the answer to the one about the slope of the perpendicular line is -1/2?</p>

<p>The Engish Section was hard. I didnt' get many right. The Math OMG. I got 3 answers wrong. I didn't answer the question. But later after the math test was over I got like all three answers. But I didn't grid them in.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me how to scale my score? I think I got 7 or 8 wrong:</p>

<p>3 Grid-ins wrong (for the microscopes one, idk what i did but i got 19. for the triangle one, i made a retarded mistake that i dont even want to talk about. for the one about 3 odd numbers that the answer was 125, i read the question wrong and did something even more retarded. ugh.)</p>

<p>4 or 5 MC questions wrong (For the one with 4t, i plugged in numbers and got like E, it was like 2t + 6 or something.
for the e<d<f<c or whatever, i think i said b, it was the one with d first.
for the area of the quadrilateral thing on the coordinate plan, i definitely didnt know how to do it and said 4.
i think i said like 2400 for the tunnel one? something with a four in it)</p>

<p>Yep so can anyone tell me my score or how to compute it?</p>

<p>for one of the writing section ones, it was something about how only little advances have been made TOWARD civil rights?</p>

<p>was that E? No error? </p>

<p>the toward thing confused me</p>

<p>Yes, it was no error, because "toward" is the correct word</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I made in the 220s. Just one question I wasn't sure about, and that was the equilateral triangle thing. I guessed 4, althought that might not have been that smart.</p>

<p>Everybody, go to the psat discussion in the SAT Discussion chat</p>

<p>also, join this AIM chat: "octpsat"</p>

<p>its "towards" civil rights
well thats what I put
did ya'll get the thing about the phoenix or whatever. All i know was that passage was incredibly confusing and I put 4 d's in a row (one or more must be wrong) after spending like 3 minutes on each questions.
I got 3 fill in the blanks wrong and 2-3 multipile choices wrong on the math
I thought the grammar section was insanely easy, except for the last few questions.</p>

<p>Oh, and I'm Hispanic, and there's some kind of program called the National Hispanic Scholar program... there wasn't a buble to fill it in (there was a bubble for Black Achievement or something) Does the fact that I put hispanic on my demographics make me eligible for this?</p>

<p>well you bubbled in that you're hispanic so that should work</p>

<p>how do you go to the SAT discussion chat?</p>

<p>Man Im really nervous about the critical reading. I took like two critical reading practice sections last night and only missed like 3 out of 26 and answered all the questions; today I left one blank in both sections and hurriedly answered the last few problems. I think I probably missed like 5-7, but oh well, I think I only missed one on the math and possibly none on the writing. The writing seemed really easy; there were only two problems I wasnt 100% sure about. One was the one that said "no lesser of a something than," and I changed it to no less an, which im pretty sure is right. The other one I got confused on was the one that said the whole city was VISUAL from the tower. I went over it again and again in my head and finally marked that one because I thought it should be visible.</p>

<p>good luck to everybody</p>
