OFFICIAL OCTOBER 2014 SAT THREAD (International students)

<p>definitely excitement for the tone… rest of the passage said the scientists “knew” something and then “knew” something, but thought the molecules were from mars. it cant be confusion</p>

<p>For the ppl with writing experimental, do you remember what the two passages were on? the second writing section was on time travel, but what about the first one? thanks!</p>

<p>I chose excitement.
and overly cautious</p>

<p>Lol, I have no memory whatsoever about the second one. I felt like writing was pretty easy. Reading was alright, but sometimes, the answer isn’t what I think it is. Oh well…</p>

<p>By the way, does anyone here remember the cutoff score for National Merit commended students (sorry this is off the topic. I’m just kind of desperate). :)</p>

<p>yea i think we all agree that writing was pretty easy. hopefully i get a 800 lol
in fact, i think the entire test quite easy-medium, only the sentence completions were a bit more difficult than usual.</p>

<p>What’s more. What about the qustion in fisher passage with “align” or "too slow to recognize ".What’s the answer?</p>

<p>guys i know i had the math experimental seciton but i did not finish it…will it affect my grade???</p>

<p>Yeah, but getting an 800 in writing doesn’t really matter, since we already showcase our writing skills in our college essay. The important one (and sadly the one I’m not that good at) is reading. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>what’s the question about the fisher thing…?@wwwinnie</p>

<p>Well if the triangle ques asked for the wrong answer then either one of a<b or b<a should have been definitely been wrong, since the question explicittly mentioned that x<y. Am i wrong in my assumption?</p>

<p>For the triangle question, I chose a + b = c
Explanation : It has to be a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (Pythagorean Theorem)</p>

<p>But no matter what, a+b can’t be equal to c, especially since it was, I believe, a right triangle.</p>

<p>@Hero12345‌ i realise that, but one of a<b or b<a also had to be wrong</p>

<p>Are you sure it asked for the WRONG one?</p>

<p>a^2+B^2=c^2right?</p>

<p>@KBAN3000‌ No no, because x<y, side="" a="" is="" opposite="" angle="" x,="" b="" y=""> a<b is true.</y,></p>

<p>Yes</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure, cause I spent a good 3 minutes on it at first because I thought it was the other way around and I found like 2 right ones. Are you sure both of those options were there?</p>

<p>Im also pretty sure that both were there, does anyone remember theother options?</p>
