<p>It gave that 60% of 300 people were women and that 10% of the group spoke Chinese. It asked how many women speak Chinese, but there’s no way to solve it with this little info, so the answer was E</p>
<p>@didierdrogba I put plainly also, but my friends are telling me that it is merely.</p>
<p>@bryian: I don’t remember the exact question, but it was definitely (E), not enough info. It said something about 180 of the people being asian, and 10 percent being women. But with that info, you can’t determine the amount of overlap or anything.</p>
<p>I think I got a 240 or near that score. This test felt sooo much easier than the practice tests I took. The only one I got wrong in this thread was the “substantiated” one in which I put genuine. Kinda surprised by my actions since I knew both definitions of substantiated but decided CollegeBoard was talking about the wrong one. I really did not sleep enough (the stress was too much for me to fall asleep). I do not believe the curve will be nice.</p>
<p>I thought I would get 240, but then I found out that I missed the dumb math question with the roman numerals -_-. And there’s never a curve on the math portion…</p>
<p>There was a question where the answer choices were something like “active role shaping one’s destiny” or “self improvement”, what was the correct answer?</p>
<p>@HaruhiSuzumiya For this question: In context, what does “simply” mean? Was the answer merely or plainly?</p>
<p>@Tennistiger: I got self-improvement
@YoohooAddict: I got merely </p>
<p>@JuicyMango oh yeah i remember now, thanks. the whole time i was like ■■■, I don’t remember that appearing on any cr or writing section haha. </p>
<p>@JuicyMango What do these people mean by a curve? Like are they gonna help us get a higher score or what?</p>
<p>Anyone want to message me the link as well? 
</p>
<p>the curve as in the actual psat curve set by college board depending on the performance index of this test @YoohooAddict </p>
<p>A curve is instilled when the population of test-takers do not do as well as the test takers expected. It basically allows more room for mistakes, with out losing as many points as you would have without the curve. For example, generally the CR section will have a curve in which a student is able to miss question but still receive a score of 80. This can also be applied to the other sections, like if you miss 2 questions on the math portion, it may be a 77/73/71 depending on how lenient the curve is.</p>
<p>also what was the answer to the second inventor/innovation (ie. desire v necessity) short passage question, something along the lines of:</p>
<p>in response to a claim made in passage 2, the author of passage 1 would point out that:</p>
<p>relevant options:
other inventors were not having the same frustrations as amy
others would likely have the same dynamic (motivation?)</p>
<p>Does that answer hinge upon what we got for the first question? (ie whether passage 2 undermines vs supports)</p>
<p>I put undermine and other inventors would have different kinds of frustrations because those two go together…</p>
<p>I said the dynamic one because I thought author 1 would try to argue that although she made those inventions, she did them for the same reason as everyone else</p>
<p>Was “undermining theory…” one of the CR answers?</p>
<p>For the invention one the inventions the woman made were desire based not need based so it illustrated what passage one said</p>
<p>I still think genuine could be correct though… I remember that when I was thinking about it, genuine seemed better because the following sentences discussed how the behavior techniques did in fact exist by giving examples; I do not recall too much about concrete evidence.
I put self improvement because the other answer choice was not directly addressed.
The CR reading section seemed too subjective this time. The answers that tend to be preferred now are only believed to be correct because a few people have been unwilling to accept other possible answers. A fair number of the questions really could have gone either way, and I feel that the curve will be high this year.
Good examples those questions include the businesslike one, the narrative one, the solid one, and the vexed one. I was surprised to see a test like this from CollegeBoard, which tends to ensure that the wrong answers definite reasons for being wrong. If you think about, too many of the questions this year may come down to highly trivial explanations: vexed could be wrong because of some of the adjectives, businesslike could be wrong merely because of the “woof.” Questions should be difficult because of the complexity of the passage, not because they could be interpreted differently… If that makes sense.</p>
<p>@YoohooAddict </p>
<p>One of the most highly contested answers. A lot feel confident that passage 2 supported passage 1, but i found that passage 2 was giving examples of inventions coming out of basic needs, in direct contrast with passage 1’s overall theme, so i put undermine theory… but honestly idk at this point</p>
<p>I thought the women’s inventions were need-based due to the poor treatment of people in that particular area. The passage was comparing “iphones, and laptops” (don’t know exact wording) compared to basic needs such as food and water. They are necessities, not commodities.</p>
