<p>you got 229?</p>
<p>hey what is da prediction for this
cr- 10 wrong 1 omit
m - all right
w- 5-6 wrong</p>
<p>Hey there's actually a predicting scores topic...</p>
<p>But really, what did everyone put for the role of the author on the (author who wrote the passage)? I put the one that said mentor.</p>
<p>I'd say 80 math, 72 Writing, roughly estimating, and 62-63 verbal? Could be wrong on the verbal, though. I put she was a literary authority who was critical of her. She was simply an authority, I don't think the author looked to her as a mentor...</p>
<p>I also said she was a literary authority who was critical of her. I'm not sure if the woman was ever referred to as a "mentor," just a well-known author in the Dominican...</p>
<p>Yeah zach, your right, she was never mentioned as a "mentor."</p>
<p>Well for me, I just thought of it like the author person was trying to encourage the author of the passage to write in her native language instead of in English, yadda yadda. That sounded a lot like mentoring...</p>
<p>I thought the old woman "scolded" the author..</p>
<p>but the person scolds the author, and then the author spends the rest of the passage making her rebuttal</p>
<p>How about the question w/the analogy between vermont and the "island" native?</p>
<p>Im pretty sure the lady wasnt her mentor. The college board has a thing about "all the answers being in the passage." Besides, the lady is mentioned just in the beginnnign of the passage and it appears that the author and the lady were at some conference. If the author would have discussed the lady in greater detail, maybe. But it seems that the author included the lady just to open her discussion about her "identity" as an author.</p>
<p>Wow, crap. You're probably right because I absolutely abhorred that passage. Passages I hate I usually don't do very well on. That means I missed 2 in there since it asked the role of the author and that last question on what the rest of the passage was about and there was an answer about rebuttal.</p>
<p>Temporary, I don't remember the answers, so if someone does...</p>
<p>What was that question about the comparison between Vermont and the Domincan Republic? I think I said it showed she was unique or something... not that Vermont was boring.</p>
<p>someone had a copy of wednesday's psat - they went to another school to take the test. anyone have a copy we can get scanned/imaged???</p>
<p>not a mentor</p>
<p>"established figure who was critical to the author"</p>
<p>something like that</p>
<p>The vermont question... I put to show the differences between the two places</p>
<p>Here are all my questions:</p>
<p>Writing:
2X Poker games can be a model for/model of? (which one)
29. Endeavor to presidential nomination (is this a diction error)
34. A (To a certain degree) history is our perspective of the past; but to suppose it can be changed is a .... D (indeed). A, D, or E?</p>
<p>Critical Reading
- what is this vocabulary question about despicable/execrate? (hopefully I didn't skip it) Can anyone write it out with choices?
- The speech was addressed "a response to an impromtu question"...or was it..."response to an audience"
- The map questions (Dominican R. vs. Vermont): I said "unique sensibility"
- Theoretical situation that would most support telepathy: I said "not understanding each's feelings and desires"</p>
<p>bump- if anyone has a copy of the test and is willing to restate a few questions, it would be cool</p>
<p>For the poker games, I said no error. I think model for/of are both correct. I googled both phrases, and a lot of results came up. (After the test, mind you)</p>
<p>I chose endeavor as well.</p>
<p>Neither. I said to suppose it changeable, thinking it would be "to suppose that it is changeable" I think it has to do with the intransitive vs. transitive verb of suppose. I seriously don't know anything about those verb forms, though. I just googled the definition of suppose, and the intransitive means "to imagine, conjecture" and the transitive means "to assume to be real or true for the sake of an argument" "to believe to be true on tenative grounds. Now the people aren't foolish for imagining, they're foolish for believing that history can be changed. I honestly don't know if that change puts it in the transitive or whatever.</p>
<p>For telepathy, the situation that would support it, (referred to passage 2?) would be that they were able to communicate apart from each other. The passage states that a skeptical observer would say that the "messages" were triggered by environmental cues that set off similiar ideas. If the women had the messages apart, there would be no similiar cues.</p>
<p>I am not so sure about the model of question. Do you remember the sentence completion question about despicable/execrate?</p>
