*OFFICIAL PSAT THREAD 2014 (US)*

<p>On that one, I picked the answer that was similar to the first half. I believe it was ‘for their historical significance’ something.</p>

<p>No errors were the first (Jane Goodall) and the penguins.</p>

<p>on writing, there was this question about this city that wouldn’t have survived had it not for been the steam from a lake underneath?.. was the answer a</p>

<p>On that one, I think I put b) were it not for…</p>

<p>I don’t know what a was though.</p>

<p>A) was were it not for</p>

<p>have we come to a consensus whether the answer to the sunset was more/most???</p>

<p>For the penguin question, there was a small subject-verb agreement problem though… I’m not sure…</p>

<p>i got these critical reading wrong for sure:
-vindicitive vocab question with meddling girl --> answer was officious
-for “loaded” from the political passage i picked cumbersome instead of --> charged</p>

<p>these are debatable: </p>

<p>1)political passage both authors agree that negative campaigning has an impact on the political process?
2)for the artist story hypothesis vs qualification
3)also for the artist story was elaine exasperated or agitated
4)for political passage the quote “poll after poll his results showed…” was something along the lines of show evidence/credibility? or was it to describe a method</p>

<p>there was one vocab sentence about book titles and ambition where the options were negative like “exacerbate” and one was “contributes to” was that the answer??</p>

<p>^^^and for the city one i think i put one of the last options which was “unless it was for” or something like that. i didn’t pick the “were it not for” but not sure ;u;</p>

<p>Oh, what was the solution to that crazy one about the deer population problem? That 200 pop. at 0 years threw me off a little.</p>

<p>i put that elaine was agitated, hypothesis, and i put something like “except for” or something like that idek and for the deer one i literally had no idea i think i put a?.. which was like 3 years or something</p>

<p>I believe it was 15. The actual answer at 15 years was 608, but it said approximately.</p>

<p>The answer is qualification.</p>

<p>I texted my tutor the question and he replied with</p>

<p>reading

  1. qualification</p>

<p>Also, the ayers rock one is most.</p>

<p>The sentence is comparing one specific time with “other times,” which is plural. If you are comparing 2 things, you use more, if you are comparing 3+, you use most.</p>

<p>For instance:</p>

<p>Of the movies I watched today, the third one was the most intriguing. </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the ayers rock question was more because I remember it saying “____ than”
Also, isn’t “other times” a singular group of other times</p>

<p>For the triangles I got I and III cause one was AB<BC and the other was CA<BC, and BC was the longest side </p>

<p>@Chrysanthemum14 how was g(a) found to be 0 though? What were the steps involved?</p>

<p>@Hancockwoodcock‌ Through the chart, you could figure out where f(a) = a+1. On the third column labeled g(x) and on the same row where the statement is valid, the box contained the number 0. </p>

<p>So what do you think your scores will be?</p>

<p>I’m thinking anywhere from 220 - 230. I screwed up CR and one or two W questions. Aced the math though.</p>

<p>In improving paragraphs. Did anybody leave it as, Whether it is really meaningful art is debatable?</p>

<p>Did you put B or E for ayers rock? B. Said to be the most E. that they say is the most. This is not exactly was E said but it’s close to the effect. </p>

<p>If you mean the question like “something” was ________ than all others, I went with more, because most sounds awkward, and the fact that there is than means that “most than” sounds confusing. So “more than” is the correct form.</p>

<p>Wait, for Ayer’s rock it should be “said to be the most” because according to SAT rules, all pronouns must have an antecedent directly in the sentence. Who does “they” refer to?</p>
