<p>I put More abstract also</p>
<p>what did everyone get for the triangle math question where you had to find the total length of the segment on the right?</p>
<p>golfer, remember that you are never supposed to infer on SAT. Just cause he uses more extreme adjectives does not mean you can infer that he is more passionate. He has to say something like “all my life i’ve been extremely disappointed by this” or something that indicates passion in words. Indignant did have that, althought I can’t remember specifically.</p>
<p>yup </p>
<p>on the SAT inferring is always secondary to what is actually written.</p>
<p>Businesslike doesn’t mean formal, it means to the point. And since the first passage wasted two paragraphs on anecdotes before making his argument, the second seems way more to the point. You can argue that both were equally as passionate.</p>
<p>@Kylemcgrogan PSAT and SAT correlation seems to be pretty consistent. I think the math on the SAT is harder though. The curves are strict on the PSAT for writing (if you miss one, you most likely won’t get an 80), but on the SAT, you can miss a writing question and get less than perfect on the essay and still get an 800 on WR. For CR, a lot of it is luck (vocab words, good passages vs bad passages), etc. Just keep working, and your score will continue to improve.</p>
<p>@b524385 length was 6</p>
<p>i said business like </p>
<p>I think the SAT is just easier than the PSAT</p>
<p>doesn’t really matter if the math is harder, unless you’re really bad at math you should get a high score. And the curves on CR and writing are WAY better on the SAT and the questions aren’t really harder(especially on this PSAT)</p>
<p>so we can also confirm that there were four e’s in a row on the writing right?</p>
<p>You have to infer for a lot of the questions, especially for this test. Passionate could very easily by supported from the begging of the passage. The author had clearly spent a large portion of her life on the conditioning stuff.</p>
<p>hey guys, last year, when i was a tenth grader, i scored 190-psat and 1840-sat, this significant drop worried me that my sat scores will not be nearly as high as my junior psat. with a 190 on the psat i expected a 1970 on the sat, since most people report a significant increase. could the 60 point difference be because i took it in 10th grade? will i likely see my SAT score be higher in my junior year than my junior PSAT?</p>
<p>@schakrab yeah everyone verified the 4 e’s on the doc, it’s safe. </p>
<p>i think the reporter one was impertinent because it said she was exhausting her repertoire which i interpreted as getting out of topic. let me know your thoughts on this</p>

<p>@Pbobby - Impromptu; the interviewer ran out of questions</p>
<p>@pbobby a lot of my friends put impromptu because she was “exhausted of questions”. yeah at this point, you can probably argue both ways, just like the business-like/indignant question and others</p>
<p>@glasshours i understand your thinking but the lines that it quoted in the question said “exhausting repertoire” did it actually say the reporter ran out of questions? im not sure really </p>
<p>repertoire is what someone has ready to perform, so in this cases it was the questions she had prepared and ready. Once she ran out, she had to make stuff up, so impromptu. Basically she switched from classical to jazz to make it a musical analogy. </p>
<p>@GurlyGurl I got that too. Because first you find the area of the rectangle, which is 8x12. Then u multiply that by 1/6 to get the area of the shaded square. After that you get 16, and the Area of a square, is s^2 so 4^2 =16, thus meaning that x=4.</p>
<p>ok that makes sense </p>
