<p>Yes I agree with mister xiggi here, it's 25, clear-cut answer. You guys read too much into the question sometimes (or .. 164 .. come on)
The Psat math is supposed to be easier than the sat math, and compared to the sat practice questions i've done, it's much easier ..
They said he has one 1 left over when he counts by 3
or when he counts by 4
25 is the only one that works, because counting by 3, you get 8<em>3=24 +1=25
And counting by 4, you get 6</em>4=24 +1=25
I mean .. my sister could do that problem easily when I gave it to her, and she's in 5th grade </p>
<p>(and the number of posts i have right now is 2525, it's a sign lol)</p>
<p>i read your story about erasing stray marks. that GC sounds like a tough person. i had a cheating issue during my PSAT - someone tried to cheat. i hate it when that happens.</p>
<p>sorry guys, but just to ask that there was a sentense conpletion that has the answer extremist. Can somebody recall that question please, I dont even remember there was a question like that</p>
<p>i got two E's
one was for someone wanting to to become a model
the other one was something shooting eruptions, landing between the sun and the earth</p>
<p>Was the shooting one really "no mistakes"? I wasn't sure; I either put E or B (shooting as wrong). I think I may have put more E's than that, though.<br>
Also for the writing, what was up with the neither...or question? Was the or wrong?</p>
<p>I definitely failed this year. If I scored high enough to qualify as a sophomore, do you think the collegeboard could just ignore my crappy junior year score? Yuuugh.</p>
<p>i was surprised with the number of no errors I put for questions on the writing section this year...but hopefully i'll do well- 70 last year. the first question was strange.</p>
<p>1) In one of the short reading passages about the reclusive man who doesn't like to go to cocktail parties whose wife died and when he's at a party someone comes over to him and says some proverb about "father time" (or something like that), one of the questions was "the proverb in the last lines of the passage is conveyed as:</p>
<p>a) trite but appreciated
b) an underestimated thing of wisdom
c) overly sentimental
d and e) i don't remember, but ithink they weren't the right choices</p>
<p>2) one of the questions in the writing section had the phrase "succeeded to provide". Is that a correct idiom? I said it was wrong, but then I was thinking, "failed to provide" is correct, so maybe "succeeded to provide" is also?</p>
<p>3) In the reading passage about physics and geophysics and how you need an imagination to visualize abstract stuff, one question was like:</p>
<pre><code> How would the author of passage 2 respond to the question ("How can you visualize something you can't see?) posed in passage 1?
a) Use modern technology to recreate the situation
b) use traditional models to visualize
c - e) i forgot these choices
</code></pre>
<p>which one was the one about the model? Could you elaborate, i don't remember that one.</p>
<p>Yeah, i remember putting a lot of "correct as it is"s on the writing section.</p>
<p>Yeah, 25 is correct, not 5. You could probably argue though, 'cause in terms of hard, pure math your interpretation of OR is correct. I just don't think CB meant it that way.</p>
<p>Succeeded in providing sounds correct to me, so i put that as wrong</p>
<p>OMG the questions to that passage about the man traveling and going to cocktail parties were so confusing!
for one of them i put something like overly dramatic
The other question was like - Why is it a gamble?
Why?! I put because he does not like meeting new people ?</p>
<p>I think the answer to the question about the two passages was modern technology to recreate the situation</p>
