Official Sat I Discussion January 2005

<p>plz post the questions and any possible choices tat you remember</p>

<p>btw, just as a survey, did you guys find teh CR extremely easy? maybe its cuz i took a AP lit practice session yesterday</p>

<p>Critical Reading - Moving
16
17
18 accepting that father is not perfect - part of maturity
19 despite reluctance, accepted being in Memphis (B) - what summarizes the author's present feelings
20 wishes he could have expressed himself to father (A) - what he wish he should have done</p>

<p>Critical Reading - Meteors
21 presence of clay layer between sections - what aroused interest
22 extinction involved land and water creatures</p>

<p>25 most elements not pure, but combined with others - why pure iridium nugget is implausible
26 extinction happened as a single event - scientist's hypothesis</p>

<p>29 other theories are equally valid/plausible - author's viewpoint towards other theories
30 iridium near meteor crators - discovery that would confirm scientist's theory</p>

<p>one question that a group of peole benefit from others; </p>

<p>I put (C) entrepreneur</p>

<p>any suggestion</p>

<p>Yes, CR was easier; however, analogies were harder.</p>

<p>Since you're so great at CR, mekrob, care to confirm/refute any of the answers above?</p>

<p>i got all of the second passage ones the same as yours, but your first passage one seems a little different</p>

<p>Cube one is 8 even though I put 4. I'm 100% sure it's 8. Stupid me changed it last minute back to 4.</p>

<p>anyone remember native american questions?</p>

<p>The passage about moving to Memphis, you mean? What did you get for those?</p>

<p>Re: I thought the hardest math question was the last grid-in about biking and walking. The guy bikes 30 km/hr there, walks 2 km/hr back, and he spends a total of 2 hours traveling. How far does he live from home?
I put 3.75 km, but i'm not sure if that's correct.</p>

<p>I posted the method a few days ago.</p>

<p>You only need to pay attention to the problem statement. Notice that the total trip takes two hours. </p>

<p>Find average speed with speed formula: 2<em>30</em>2/(30+2) = 120/32 = 3.75 km per hour. </p>

<p>Obviously, the total distance he will run/bike in two hours is 7.5 km. Half the distance is 3.75 km. </p>

<p>Time to solve this problem? about 15 seconds if you know the formula!</p>

<p>AAAHHH, i cant remember. but i think the two that we have differet are the harder ones...so maybe we got all the others right. i wish i looked back and had memorized the choices. it could just be ur phrasin that is throwin me off for number 17</p>

<p>omg ur rite its 8!!!</p>

<p>he wasnt moving to memphis, was he? i thought he was just visiting...maybe thats why we have different answers....ahh (dumbass)</p>

<p>Harmonic mean.</p>

<p>As soon as I finished test and handed it in I realized again it was 8 then I was ****ed off. lol. What's highest you can get with 1 math wrong like 790?</p>

<p>ilovecollege-- I did put my screen name on my buddy list, but when I right click, I dont get that option. Can you PM me so I can give you my sn, and then you can invite me? Thanks</p>

<p>edit: never mind, I got it :)</p>

<p>When I read that problem this is what I immediately envisioned:</p>

<p>I do a lot of cubing :)</p>

<p>for "languid:animation" the answer was shifty:honesty.
for the definition of conjunction question, i put "concurrence"
for the question on the appeal of the site i put existence of a thin layer of clay
i put E for the effort:futile one, but i dont remember the similar analogy
for 18 i put confronting his father or something
i dont remember what i put for 19 but i didnt put what student did</p>

<p>how do i get in to the AIM chatroom? My screen name is KlKoms403.</p>
