<p>nah i just ran out of time
sentence completion whipped my behind</p>
<p>I did the all the questions in about 8 minutes and spent just as long on the last one, until I realized that you just had to divide x^10 by x^9/y.</p>
<p>i am pretty sure political.....partisanship was correct... thats what I put... and it seemed like it made the most sense.. I also known a lot of ppl that put that answer (though I know others that put other answers as well) ... that was def. the hardest SC</p>
<p>Yeah that one was tough. Usually when I come to one like that on the SAT I sit back and think about it for a second. Most of the time the numbers can be manipulated somehow so that you don't have to do some wild calculation. Someone told me they found the 10th root of x and plugged in...and did some crap in their calc and wound up with the answer of 1121...which is wrong. All I did was divide 5555 by x which made x^9 = (5555/x). That would give you xy in the denominator. Then all you have to do is cross multiply and solve for xy. It was funny because the answer could have just been easily derived from the numbers given in the problem. Just divide 5555/5! If someone did that as a wild guess....lucky you!</p>
<p>vinny380: Woohoo! lol! </p>
<p>What about that passage question about the simple mindset or something?</p>
<p>Can someone give the context for what vinny just said about political and partisanship? I am trying to remember what i put for that.</p>
<p>lol Guju! I hope I got that right ... Did anyone else put political....partisanship ?
Guju, i am not sure what you are talking about for that question ...</p>
<p>even the sentence was complicated logicus ... i cant even remeber it</p>
<p>although, i know one of the answers was piety ....??? , which was wrong.... did that trigger your memory</p>
<p>Hmm..forget it I barely remember lol...but yeah it was tough for me.</p>
<p>I put conventional ... dissent because the sentence mentioned that he was yoking traditional methods (?) with new social ideas or something.</p>
<p>no, but political...partisanship sounds like something i might've put down.</p>
<p>Actually, i have no idea what i put down :P</p>
<p>I thought that question said that he did NOT use traditional ideas ....... thus convential would be wrong ..... umm, and I believe dissent did not work anyway in the second blank</p>
<p>jason i put that too
I really dont understand the use of those questions, most job professions don't require the use of such difficult vocab .. even if you become a doctor, you're not gonna talk to your patients like that, you'll talk to him/her using plain, simple terms. argh collegeboard.</p>
<p>convential .. dissent was wrong I believe - it was an answer choice that was really hard to get away from .... because it sounded fancy ..... but political ... partisanship was better ... I am 90% positive..</p>
<p>Really? Hopefully someone remembers the actual question because I don't see how that fits in at all, it was one of the choices I crossed out immediately.</p>
<p>right on sar!!! collegeboard sucks</p>
<p>i could be wrong Jason .... i am not ETS....... and my track record on SC isnt the greatest .......but I really thought I got it ...</p>
<p>does partisanship mean 'biased' or something like that/
hey vinny are you a junior?</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm pretty sure as well so who knows...</p>

<p>For the "yoke" question I really like the choice that had the word "convention" because hte end of the sentence was "he used traditional poems or lanuage or something to spur on social changes." (paraphrase obviously) The second word of the "convention" started with a d and sounded like changes.</p>
<p>yea.. I am a junior
Paritsanship - a person motivated for a social cause that will bring about change
^ Exactly what the setence said</p>
