Official US November SAT discussion

<p>yea but i say “her interest is not concerned by other scientist” doesn’t contrast ur ideas
since what she tries to do has already been done by others</p>

<p>Was the question comparing the two invention Africa passages “Compared to passage 1, passage 2 was more” or “compared to passage 2, passage 1 was more”?</p>

<p>Because depending on the order of the question the answer was more abstract or more anecdotal.</p>

<p>@ChrxswxN, I did get that passage. I remember it as the animation passage instead. I thought it was pretty straight-forward. I breezed through all the CR except for this one:</p>

<p>“The notion that a happy staff makes for happy customers is held ____, by all managers yada yada.”</p>

<p>I narrowed it to ‘implicitly’ and ‘figuratively,’ and put figuratively which is totally wrong. Implicit works best, but they were all terrible words.</p>

<p>and does anyone remember “support an action” in the “physics theory” one?</p>

<p>@ carbon, do you remember the other answer choices for the question you just described? I’m not sure if I had put implicit or not hahahaha and I’d probably need the other choices to jog my memory :P</p>

<p>@simonl I don’t remember at all :O</p>

<p>@anonymous</p>

<p>about the blatant error.</p>

<p>you may be right, but I believe we’re talking about different questions.</p>

<p>@ piedpilko It was more abstract.</p>

<p>dang that’s the only one i missed and it’s because I misread the question…</p>

<p>For the “implicitly” question, what was the passage, and what were the other choices?</p>

<p>people are saying the curve for writing will be -2 is an 800 with a 12 essay.
i thought the essay had nothing to do with your writing score out of 800.
someone please clarify for me!</p>

<p>does anyone else remember the math question that asked what is the value of k if ax+bx=c equals y=mx+k
The answer choices were a/b, -a/b, b/a, b/c and c/a or something like that.
It was question 19 of 20.</p>

<p>@ timetocarrigan Of course the essay has to do with your writing score. It is 30% of your score, in fact. And I do not remember that math question.</p>

<p>Someone please ): For the “implicit” question, what was the passage and what were the other choices?</p>

<p>i dont remember the exact context of the implicit question but i know that it was implicit was the correct choice because something was being implied…
this is probably no help at all but hopefully it’s somewhat reassuring</p>

<p>the passage was “That employees will be more productive if something somethign seems to be an _____ belief that employers have; they cannot imagine otherwise” (something like that)</p>

<p>@timetocarrigan. I don’t remember that question at all. Was it possibly an experimental question? If you are talking about the question regarding the greater slope, it was 4/3.</p>

<p>uhm… for the supreme court one i put had argued… b/c it said had a perfect verb that happened after the argument so i thought it had to be had argued… i did overthink it but doesnt it make sense? “djfhkjh had argued for over 60 years before the supreme court decided…whatever” (i dont exactly remember the question)</p>

<p>also, is “which i spent wrong”?!!? did anyone put that as the answer!? :(</p>

<p>The slope was actually 3/4.</p>

<p>@ anonymous [Using</a> “had done” in English](<a href=“http://www.english-at-home.com/grammar/using-had-done-in-english/]Using”>Using “had done” in English – english-at-home.com)
The sentence included “70 years ago” so I don’t think the verb needed the past perfect tense?</p>

<p>anyone remember the sentence completion question with “staple”</p>

<p>Staple was the right answer. Grain (or whatever it was) was a staple part of their diet.</p>
