*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>@chrysanthemum14 @aznboi4981 to add my opinion on the triangle question i also got I and III only. because the angles were greater when they showed</p>

<p>@mindonmath i also picked no error for the penguin question in writing :slight_smile: and fanaticism for vocab</p>

<p>@Ennnnnā€Œ
The penguins was vocabulary</p>

<p>I really hope the curve is nice. My math crushed me so hard. Section 2 especially!!! Def wonā€™t make merit cause I live in NE. Wish I can move to Alabama </p>

<p>Section 2 math was the hardest.</p>

<p>Did we ever discuss the Section 4 Math MC? </p>

<p>ok question here what was some of the vocab?? was it vindicitive or something for the girl who meddles when people ask her not to? or what was thatā€¦ </p>

<p>I put efficacious but I think it was officious.</p>

<p>The triangle question option were
1 ab<bc
2 ca < ab
3 ca<bc</p>

<p>I put officious for the meddling girl.</p>

<p>@Chrysanthemum14ā€Œ
Thank you for explaining the tree question. Does anyone know the exact question so I can try to understand it myself? The answer/ex Pl a nation helped but I forgot the question what it was asking for</p>

<p>@Junboiā€Œ
Are you sure those are the correct choices? Otherwise this whole I and III vs III only debate would be unnecessary.</p>

<p>And all three could possibly be right.</p>

<p>Wasnā€™t Choice 1 ā€œAB < ACā€?</p>

<p>thanksā€¦and then there was the passage about the artist and the girl. for one it asked a sentence and it was like this is making use of qualification, repetition, hypothesis, and one more i think. was it hypothesis?</p>

<p>and when it was the sentences 35-38 describing his painting was it for because he was ā€œcareful and complexā€ or ā€œabstract and evocativeā€?</p>

<p>I put careful and complex. They said that the painting was very intricate and calculated in the passage.</p>

<p>this issue about the penguin question was settled at the start of the thread. the question was a direct quote from this article: </p>

<p>The scientists track survivorship by banding the flipper-like
wings of young birds or giving them toe-tags. They visit
hundreds of nests throughout the colony to see how each
penguin pair is doing and whether their chicks will fledge.
Penguins show a site fidelity that borders on fanaticism.
Of the 54,361 birds that Boersmaā€™s team has banded over
the years, only 149 were later recorded at a colony other
than the one in which they were born. If possible, adults
use the same burrow year after year. Because of this, Boersma
has come to know certain penguins quite well, and has
named some of her stalwarts. One particular favorite of late
is Turbo, a hapless male that lost his burrow andā€¦ </p>

<p>@bingingtonā€Œ
I put careful complx</p>

<p>@penngirlpending the tree question was that they started planting trees in 1960 and every 4th year the number of trees they planted doubled. then they said from 1996, which year would have 16 times less the # of trees? so 1996 they planted 16x more trees than which year?</p>

<p>The answer to the first question was qualification. The answer to the second- I think- is careful and complex.</p>

<p>Did we figure out the Zora Hurston question about friendship yet?
Was it suitability or capacity?</p>

<p>I wonder if the first Psat was harder or the second oneā€¦ the first one was so subjective</p>

<p>I think the answer is capacity for friendship.</p>

<p>Thanks so much @bingingtonā€Œ </p>

<p>Do you think the curve will be easy or hard this year?</p>
