Official US November SAT discussion

<p>I don’t think it was flippancy. Flippancy is when you’re being inappropriately lighthearted about something, but the author was just using a humorous comment to drive the point home - thus, comedy as a defense.</p>

<p>For the woof question, I put that the rhetorical effect was “something something novel situation” (something about humor or comedy or so?)</p>

<p>He wasn’t on the defensive, he was taking a serious matter lightly (imo).</p>

<p>sitting pretty on quad 800s.</p>

<p>Math Reasoning, Math Level 2, Physics, Chemistry</p>

<p>I put define a term. I don’t remember exactly why but I think it was because there was a sentence before that made it seem that way.</p>

<p>Also for the math, did you get 1/3 for the sock question (picking one and then another one without replacing)? and was the question at the end with circles A,B, and C with r radius, sqrt 2 divided by 2 times r? (i just guessed this)</p>

<p>what was the one with the X (Traingle) Y with the a (traingle) b…was it number 3 only or number 2 and 3?</p>

<p>@JTownatp Yeah, I agree. He’s using humor not to defend but to dismiss or belittle.</p>

<p>here are the math answers i had: 144, 5/12, 48, 1980, 58, n^7 i got 7 as units digit, 200, and k=1… please tell me all those are right… what did you guys get for the question with the subset of b (factors of 36) but not subset of a (numbers divisible by 3)? igot 2,4,14… but someone told me its 2,4,9… explanation pleaese</p>

<p>@Bakere so what was the answer?!</p>

<p>Didn’t know we were counting subj tests sheepboy. Reading, Writing, Literature, US History, Spanish = 800’s all round → suck failure bovine</p>

<p>Did anyone get a writing question on Emily Dickinson? I didn’t know what was wrong for that one, but I put A, “assuming”</p>

<p>@SAT was 5/12 one of the last questions with the 350% thing?</p>

<p>NVM my subset thing, idk what the hell i put lol, but was it choice A?</p>

<p>@Classiclays I got the same answer for the circle thing too. and I got 2,4,9 for the subsets too.</p>

<p>@classic yeah i got 5/12 for the grid in. and 2rad2r for one of the mc’s</p>

<p>this problem really bugged me the entire test. it was a parabola shape and the question was what is the distance between the x roots of -3x2+6x+9?</p>

<p>It was like if 6x is 350% of 5y, then what is x/y?</p>

<p>From dictionary.com flippant:</p>

<p>flip·pant   /ˈflɪpənt/ Show Spelled[flip-uhnt] Show IPAadjective 1.frivolously disrespectful, shallow, or lacking in seriousness;</p>

<p>I didn’t think he was defending anything o.o
I go with flippancy</p>

<p>Wait for the circle was it radical two divided by two times r (choice C) or two radical two r (choice ?)</p>

<p>THIS IS SO CONFUSING…will someone start new threads for the 2 versions???</p>
