<p>whats the cr curve? if you get 4 wrong, what score is that?</p>
<p>Cmecha, it's around 760 if you didn't skip any.</p>
<p>i just checked, its a 72 (because i didnt omit them, they were answered) =(</p>
<p>well, thats based on the curve from a previous psat. this one will probably be much higher, since it was clearly so much more difficult.</p>
<p>WRITING </p>
<p>Charlotte Bronte - no error</p>
<p>Aristotle & Plato - past tense needed to be changed to present tense in choice D, I believe it was</p>
<p>Wimbledon atmosphere question - choice D, because it was comparing the atmosphere at wimbledon to another stadium, not another stadium's atmosphere</p>
<p>The become healthy and become athletic sentence... no error I think??! I don't remember? Part of me thinks I found an error but idk!</p>
<p>Salem witch trials sentence... error in parallelism; "to..." and "to..."</p>
<p>The teacher who recieved the reward demonstrted her changes or something... I chose the sentence where she challenges the president.</p>
<p>The teacher "improving paragraphs" paragraph - add a word to help transition into the second paragraph.. I added "After she recieved the award," or something like that.</p>
<p>The Great Act (well it's really the Great Reform Bill) of 1833(?)... I chose the last option, something like it only impacted the textile industries.</p>
<p>MATH</p>
<p>The square with sides of length "x" and a diagonal that extended through a rectangle of length "x" and unkown width... I found the width to be y, and my answer was x^2 (square) + xy (rectangle)... the problem, though, is that thinking back, didn't the question ask us to find the area of the shaded region? And weren't the shaded sections only the square and triangle formed by the extended diagonal through the rectangle, and not the entire rectangle? I know this might sound confusing, I'm doing my best to explain, sorry! Any thoughts?!</p>
<p>The circle with a radius of 8 containing a square with a diagonal of 8... I found the area of the square to be 32.</p>
<p>The two triangles, one with a side length of 8 and one with a side length of 9... the segment on the bottom containing one side of each triangle was 17.</p>
<p>The circle with area pi/16... diameter of 1/2.</p>
<p>3rd sunday... 21st.</p>
<p>median question... 14</p>
<p>The one where you multiply the sum of the 2 digits by 3... 3(x+y) = 10(x) + y</p>
<p>Possible third side length of a triangle with side lengths 2 and 21... [20,22].</p>
<p>Green, 2-doored, alloy rimmed cars... 80.</p>
<p>(x+y)(x^2 - y^2) = 0 ... I found x=-y, but I am open to this being wrong... any thoughts?!</p>
<p>Given two parallel lines and two transversals that meet at a point between them and angles 133 and 86 (something like that)... I found x to be 141.</p>
<p>Number of positive, three-digit numbers with 7 in the hundreds and 5 in the ones... 10.</p>
<p>CRITICAL READING</p>
<p>The tone of the guy upset with his nephew for not taking his advice... I said ebullient, hahahha. I thought it made sense - he was "bubbling up in anger" by repeatedly asking if they hadn't just resolved the issue... but I think it is probably wry or surly. But, honestly, I am not sure which I think it is...</p>
<p>The Korean girl's view of her grandmother... "esteem"</p>
<p>The Korean girl's preconceptions of Korea... the "naive" one</p>
<p>The museum & architect question... courting/accomplished</p>
<p>The temporary act one... stopgap (however I guessed and put portent)</p>
<p>The nature of passage 1 vs. passage 2 in Section 1 (the ones on hiking)... humorous vs. earnest (I found the first amusing; he ends poking fun at himself! Also, the second earnestly propogates his extreme-hiking, scoffing at people who make excuses)</p>
<p>The author of passage 1 wants to be like (hiking reading)... the "two men" from passage 2</p>
<p>the reference to physical fitness was shown in passage two by ___... the phsyical description of the two men</p>
<p>The author of passage 2 was ___ when he saw the hikers... "astonished"</p>
<p>A sentence completion Q... "diatribe"</p>
<p>Chimp reading - what does not exemplify the point it makes... the chimps that eat termites vs. the chimps that do not have termites (both had equal resources)</p>
<p>Chimp reading - main point or something... chimps lack the same technological skills (despite same resources or something?)</p>
<p>Korean girl's point... learning about our history allows us to develop our identity</p>
<p>Korean girl's story - what did freedom imply to her... "inconspicuousness" or something</p>
<p>Astrophysics passage - purpose... introduce an issue in astronomy, astrophysics, etc.</p>
<p>Astrophysics passage - the description of the peaceful passage of light serves to... show interstellar space's tranquility vs. lower atmosphere's turbulence or something?</p>
<p>the sentence completion about how we tend to speak explicity but we still use... "euphenisms"</p>
<p>The writer of the passage that disses writers - what did the guy he is writing to do or something... he was not persuaded</p>
<p>The "Newton was right, clouds are gross..." function... I said it served to bring a complicated idea into simpler words or something... because it spared us readers the complex explanation for their role in messing up telescope images, and was summed up with being "gross" ? hahah. I really don't know. </p>
<p>The voting question... "compromised/garnered"</p>
<p>The british biographer - what did they both mention... the writer's skills</p>
<p>the british biographer - what did the second say that the first didnt, or something? ... the effects of the biographer on future writers</p>
<p>sorry this is probably near impossible to understand... i'm basically just spouting out questions/answers as fast as I can so I don't forget! Please feel free to argue : )</p>
<p>I think there was an error in the healthy and athletic one: the as should have been a "than."</p>
<p>The voting question should have been disenfranchised/registered. I don't know if "garnering" a lawsuit was what the disenfranchised voters had in mind.</p>
<p>yes, i agree lobgent</p>
<p>what was the korean one about her "legacy"?</p>
<p>Does anyone remember any of the other choices on The Korean girl's view of her grandmother? </p>
<p>I know people are saying it's "esteem", but I think I was debating between that one and one another. Maybe regard?</p>
<p>the other one was humility</p>
<p>ok, thanks!</p>
<p>come check out the answer consolidation...</p>
<p>does anyone know where that list of compiled commended and semifinalist cutoff scores are? I'm having trouble finding it. It had both scores for each state for 2006, 2005, 2004, etc.</p>
<p>I, like Anand, encourage everyone to check out and post on the consolidation thread. Most of the discussion on this thread has become rather redundant because most of your critical reading or math concerns could easily be answered on the consolidation thread. Thanks!</p>
<p>i dont think the right answer is euphemism. explicitly can be used in the sense of "clearly" and therefore, "garrulous," which basically means "verbose" would fit well</p>
<p>no, they mean explicitly like they speak their mind liberally;
but we still use euphimisms like "passed away"</p>
<p>Yes, you're right. 760 and 730 are 1 and 2 wrong, respectively.</p>
<p>What if you omit one but don't get any wrong in math?</p>
<p>YOu get a 770 - 760</p>
<p>For the compromise/garner one, it was "garnered their SUPPORT in the form of a lawsuit" not "garnered a lawsuit." I put compro/garn and I am still not convinced that it is wrong. I would like someone to explain how register fits in.</p>
<p>I believe you're mistaken, ikir, about the voting question since the sentence actually stated, "Feeling ______ since their votes were not counted, the citizens ______ their DISCONTENT through a lawsuit."</p>
<p>Even though "compromised" is arguably an acceptable answer for the first blank, "garnered" would not make sense in the second blank. Also, "disenfranchised" is the ideal word for this sentence because test-makers often use sophisticated vocabulary relating almost exclusively to a particular topic (in this instance, elections). Therefore, I stand by my original answer of "disenfranchised/registered."</p>
<p>Once again, I recommend that everyone check out the consolidation thread in order to minimize such redundancies.</p>
