<p>can anyone remember exactly how this question is worded? i would love to know</p>
<p>you guys are wrong with the high values for C.. cause the angle values were a>b>c .... im pretty sure the state ments were as follows (only i dont remember the actual question)</p>
<p>I-60 (or 90???) < a < 180
II- 45 < b < 90
III- 0 < c < 60</p>
<p>i know that the set of Possible Angle values of angle 'b' is larger than those given in statement two. yet that wouldnt make II false. since b CAN be between 45 and 90 (as well as more numbers, but it did not say that it was going to give you all accpeted values, did it?) it would be true</p>
<p>so i am wrong in saying that only I and III are true...unless someone can verify that the question said that the angle values given in the three statements must include ALL possible values for those angles</p>
<p>sorry if what im saying is confusing!</p>
<p>the answer was clearly I and III. You're going way too in depth, which is not smart for the sat.</p>
<p>It said MUST be true...meaning that I and III are correct!</p>
<p>What did you guys get for the question on the wednesday PSAT about the circle with arc 6, radius "r", and the arc x with lengths of r+3? I'm not sure how it was worded, but does anyone know of which question I am talking about?</p>
<p>BTW I'm a sophomore who just took the PSAT for the first time, skipped a grade, and i'm expecting at least 220+... ;)</p>
<p>but II IS true, because all of those values do work. its not false, because i dont remember the question saying that the statements were going to define all possible values.</p>
<p>ahh im just going to have to take your word for it guys..... </p>
<p>lol seth_blue... i know, im crazy</p>
<p>and Krish- the answer for that Q was (E), which was a fraction, like (6r+18)/r or something like that (it didnt have pi in it)</p>
<p>I put E for that question, I'm not sure of the exact answer but I plugged in the numbers and it worked for several cases.</p>
<p>MUST be true means that there are no exceptions to the rule....it's very confined.</p>
<p>To say that B MUST BE between 45 and 90 is false.</p>
<p>It does not HAVE TO be between those numbers.</p>
<p>44 would make that statement is false. </p>
<p>I'm 99.99999999% positive it was I and III.</p>
<p>the triangle question had the following conditions:
~ a, b, c are sides of a triangle (figure was not to scale).
~ a > b > c.</p>
<p>I. 60 < a < 180
II. 45 < b < 90
III. 0 < c < 60</p>
<p>which of the above MUST be true?</p>
<p>This means that for all values of a, b, or c, the inequality stated in I, II, or III must be true. In an equilateral triangle, all 3 angles are 60 degrees, so for a to be the largest, it has to be greater than 60 but less than 180 (the number of degrees in a triangle). Now, b just has to be greater than c. So, the most extreme situation would be a = 177 deg., b = 2 deg., and c = 1 deg. This example invalidates statement II. Statement III is still true because for c to be the least, it has to be at least less than the equilateral triangle's 60 deg. but then again, it can't equal 0. III is true. Thus, I and III are the only true statements and II is false.</p>
<p>OK, I think we've proved enough that it's I and III. Next question.</p>
<p>for the improving paragraph section, does anyone remember (I think it was question #2) this question?
I was in Brazil (something like that, an independent clause), <em>camped by the river...</em>
or was it <em>and I was camped...</em>
I think it was the former cause it was a dependent clause</p>
<p>it was not "i was camped" because that is passive voice, and the verb is supposed to be active i believe</p>
<p>I agree, it's the former.</p>
<p>so how many questions on the math have u guys for sure missed. ive missed 2 for sure so far, the one above and...lol the 2, 12, triangle one-im so mad i missed it. for some reason i answered 9 right off the bat</p>
<p>I missed three total (if I do not get credit for that stupid OR question =) lol) 2 MC and 1 grid-in ...... a lot of people say that that is pretty good, but I am disappointed .... I wonder if my math will be better than 750 - prob not, but maybe ......</p>
<p>oh and the worst is that I got an easy grid-in wrong ... so stupid ..</p>
<p>I haven't seen any that I missed although I spent a lot of time on two of them. I've seen that triangle question a couple times, eventually people just run out of new math questions and reuse the same ones. ;)</p>
<p>I don't think that OR question is arguable, it just doesn't look like the type of question where you get to choose which condition it meets.</p>
<p>-1 grid in
2 grid in omits
1 mc omit</p>
<p>what do you think the score will be?</p>
<p>Probably low 70s, there were a few questions I found unusually hard (such as the last one for each section), did anyone else find that?</p>
<p>I'm so happy! I didn't miss any that I know of so far! I made sure to verify every step in every problem (even easy ones) so that I wouldn't make any mistakes. (Only possibly if that 3 OR 4 one was 5; I would've missed that; but I HIGHLY DOUBT IT.)</p>
<p>As for reading I am also pretty happy with most of the answers that others have been saying are correct! This is usually my worst section. I missed 8 on the Practice PSAT. I was suprised when I found out that I got a lot of the sentence comp's right that I didn't even know the meaning to some of the words (ex. sultry, abate, misanthropy, etc.). I just had a gut feeling and got them right! Does anyone know if political...partisanship was right?</p>
<p>As for writing I think I missed just a few maybe on the fixing the sentences part. The sent. errors part was pretty easy. But hopefully I didn't miss more than 3!</p>
