<p>i put withhold too.</p>
<p>For those of you with the Grammar Section with the Venus/Serena passage, did anyone notice the error in Question 7 of Section 2?</p>
<p>The intended right answer choice (I think C) repeated a part of the problem that was NOT underlined, thus making it a wrong answer choice. It was something like "Investers know that in order to make money they must be prepared to accept big losses." The underlined portion ended with "accept." However, answer choice C included "big losses" in the correction, so the new sentence would read "Investers know that in order to make money they must be prepared to accept big losses big losses."</p>
<p>I work for a test preparation company and recently collaborated on the team that wrote the writing portion of our course for the New SAT. Section 5 had typical errors, and seemed to hit on every major one that we cover in class. Section 2 had random errors, many which were obscure and rarely seen on the test.</p>
<p>Finally, I do not recognize many of the math questions that the other posters are referring to on other threads. The only one that I identify is the three circles with the distance between the two tangent lines. Have I lost it, or did we also have different math questions?</p>
<p>I had that math question too.</p>
<p>And, I found the site showing which were experimental:</p>
<p>(Currently it still only has May...)</p>
<p>ill tell you why it is foreboding isolation. first provincial charm signifies a province or state. if that is wrong though, the passage described the town as straggling in the dark and the other place surrounded by a wall and turret.
Question- for the sc, the complicity and exonerate what was the other choice with excuplate. oh! i put alibi with exculpate. why doesn't this one work because the evidence proved an alibi so the judge wasnt able to exculpate him. the other one makes sense to</p>
<p>Hey, do any of you remember one of the questions in the astronaut passage as having a question with two answers along the lines of "... the jargon was an unnecessary development" and "...the jargon was a response to an unprecedented situation" as another answer to the same question.</p>
<p>well i'm pretty sure el greco was experimental because i had the poetry slam but my other one writing improving paragraphs was changing books into movies...(unless that's what el greco means...) but i'm glad b/c most of the ones i guessed on you guys picked as correct so yay? =D</p>
<p>"This was a tough question. I recall this question pretty well because I spent too much time on it. (In fact, I should have left it blank). The question was something like - The author suggests that paying a professional decorator to find a better spot for the sofa is -
1. A creative though somewhat unorthodox solution to a vexing problem
2. An unfortunate consequence of a behaviorial phenomenon
I debated both answers. It seems to me both can be defended. Who put what and why?"</p>
<p>i put the second one because the person got too used to his environment and wasnt able to see the furniture "from a fresh perspective" like the artist supposedly could</p>
<p>for the jargon one i put it was a development to an unprecedented situation because the jargon made communication easier in an unprecedented environment.</p>
<p>on the question with provincial charm vs foreboding isolation
foreboding has negative connotation and the author was talking about a place he would like to end his pleasant journey at. the imaginary town would probably be charming if he would want to end up there</p>
<p>stantonia, do you remember one of your answers having the words "...potential to become exclusive..."?</p>
<p>It's not foreboding. It was welcoming.</p>
<p>And it COULD be provincial - it's a small town in remote parts of a country.</p>
<p>there is no doubt that provincial charm is the answer.</p>
<p>It seemed like a lot of you thought the answer was provinicial charm (choice D, I believe), but I chose choice E....don't remember what it was, but did anyone else pick this answer?</p>
<p>I agree with Stantonia and Spartan Pho3nix. Provincial charm is the answer. I do remember Choice E. It was thriving prosperity.
Meanwhile, I have been going over vocab lists to try to jog my memory on the sentence completions. Finally (I think) have come up with one not on our list. An artist used unusual PERSPECTIVES to prevent identification and thus create a feeling of ANONYMITY. Does anyone else remember this?</p>
<p>Did anyone have an answer that went along the lines of "...jargon has the potential to become exclusive..."???</p>
<p>I agree with Provincial charm. sunnyboy, I also put the anonymity one - i remember that one was a wierd one though.</p>
<p>I agree with Stantonia. The special language of space was a response to unprecedented conditions.
And finally, I think - but am not positive - that the exclusivity of jargon shows that there is more to jargon than efficient communication.
This was a tough question. I totally understood the passage but couldn't find an answer I liked. Had to choose the "best" of a bad lot. This happened several times on this test. Did anyone else experience this problem?</p>
<p>Yah - perspectives anon...I got that also.</p>
<p>And the Jargon/Exclusive answer. This looks +</p>
<p>Wait, what does "This looks +" mean Spartan Pho3nix? Sorry, I'm too dumb to understand your slang...</p>
<p>Have been going over Barron's list on the theory that most words are in it. Believe I have one more sentence completion. Something about data being HAMPERED. Does this ring any bells?</p>
<p>I think that was the answer for something on SC. Can't remember the sentence though</p>
<p>Just wondering - Does anyone know why the CC forum was down yesterday?</p>
