<p>These are some1 elses. I agree with all except embrace. I think it's greet.</p>
<p>I'm really hoping this test will be more generously curved than usual. While I'm not expecting it for the Math section (more of a normal curve, not too easy, not too hard), I'd hope it's more lenient for the verbal, since there's quite a bit of disagreement on certain questions.</p>
<p>And sometimes, the math curve has been more generous (a.k.a. 5 wrong is a 730, rather than a 710).</p>
<p>Joey</p>
<p>Well I tried to make my curve as harsh as possible (hopefully), so if they pull down the average raw score, and it was a hard test anyway (apparently), then the scores could be 30/40 points higher than this at points. Maybe even a -1/800 math. Who knows? We all will in ...13 days???!!! We have to wait that long? crap</p>
<p>On my previous test last year, I missed 4, skipped none on the math and got a 740.</p>
<p>I don't want to wait!!!:(:(:(</p>
<p>I Don't Want To Wait Either!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>5) American Dream relation between P 1 & P 2
Cynical and Earnest,</p>
<p>was that the section 6 double passage on how ppl work all their lives? i put sarcastic and objective.. darn...</p>
<p>2) Goal of mission
Answer: Test out practical theory,</p>
<p>was there an answer something to do with gravity? im not sure if that's the same one... hope it is.</p>
<p>i had this version. embraced means greet. I put proposed for offered beacuse he was suggesting it to him as some kind of expert already. the exile is right, charming, and most of what i see there.</p>
<p>I had cynical and earnest first then changed it at the last minute and now I'm so angry...now, I see why my reasoning for the answer I chose was flawed</p>
<p>How many Johns Hopkins or 7th and 8th graders, etc. do you think took the SAT I today?? Compared to the number of high schoolers, do you think that they can affect the scoring curve that much??</p>
<p>i had that version...i agree with icyfire for the first two questions, and i think dimitryir and i had the same answers as well for the other passage...jsut my two cents</p>
<p>What do you guys think embraced or greet? Provide or Offer? </p>
<p>I think greet/provide.</p>
<p>oh your right. hah my fault</p>
<p>i HATED the math today...by far the hardest math sections ive ever taken on an sat</p>
<p>and by teh way, disperse funds is also a common usage. i think its disperse because the sentence was talking about how they needed to use the money or something like that</p>
<p>I don't know so I'm not sure.</p>
<p>But it sure is an interesting factor to consider. January 2005 is unique in that there's a lot of juniors taking it because they believe they'll be better at this one than the new one. There's some seniors taking it as a last chance. There's the CTY kids (At my testing center, I was probably taller than 25% of the people there, and I'm 5'1). There probably wouldn't be this many juniors taking this fairly early edition of the test (January as opposed to May) if the new SAT was not looming in the future.</p>
<p>A real wildcard.</p>
<p>yeah I put disperse</p>
<p>They don't curve all that much anymore, esp with the new sat coming,</p>
<p>wait, but. how could it be disperse? they need to "gather up" funds for important things, not "disperse" funds which means to spread them out, right??</p>
<p>wow, i def. didnt have the same test as you all</p>
