Official Wednesday PSAT Discussion

<p>Congenial is friendly almost. Too similary, while she is outgoing he is NOT.</p>

<p>it cant be D, for 8, no way, demure means the exactly opposite, it means "reserved", so they're both D and that is not the case, the two blanks have opposite charges</p>

<p>E, "congenial" answer is inaccurate, not to the point</p>

<p>so isnt the answer C, for #8?</p>

<p>I GIVE UP! I know one can't fail the PSAT, but I bet they burn my answer sheet and send me the ashes as the score report... :-( And to think that this was one of my "big" chances at a scholarship for college...</p>

<p>what about the african american women passage?
let's get the hard stuff out of the way before we go to vocab.</p>

<p>yeah.. that's minus 1 for me on CR so far.</p>

<p>I want to kill myself for not getting the first question right...</p>

<p>I didn't know what a facelift was .... ah!!!!!!!!!!!! i put A) excavating.....</p>

<p>ah geez. how about the african american women passage? let's go over that.</p>

<p>jrcho-thanks for taking time to post these answers!</p>

<p>A) excavating is not the right answer?</p>

<p>omg wtf!?! I came in soo ****y thinking I was going to get an 800 on the math. I doubt I even broke 700. I hate the college board..how was that box math (haha yeah I got it wrong)..why cant they give us at least straight forward problems..involving calc. ahh bastards!</p>

<p>No problem.</p>

<p>Oh yea, assuming I bomb this test (expecting 75m, 60v, 70wr; at best)</p>

<p>Do you think I can still apply to and get into Cornell Summer School?</p>

<p>3 math wrong is a 71, from talking to someone who took it last year!!!</p>

<p>depends on your gpa, sat, and ecs moreso than your psat score.</p>

<p>What about this question</p>

<p>Sec 3</p>

<ol>
<li>In lines 58 and 63, "grounded" most nearly means</li>
</ol>

<p>A) insulated
B) restricted
C) justified
D) rooted
E) stranded</p>

<p>I was running out of time and randomly guessed D.</p>

<p>I didnt even refer back, D seemed the most logical</p>

<p>i got D) rooted for 45 as well</p>

<p>i think it's D. if i remember correctly, it's talking about how her mother's values were grounded, or rooted in.</p>

<p>nvm........</p>

<p>closest one is restricted, but "rooted" i believe is correct</p>

<p>ya, i wish i had my test booklet, but i wrote and crossed so much stuff on it, its practically illegible...can you request a clean one?</p>

<p>Yup rooted! That was was evil. 3 wrong 71. Crazy! It's harder this jear, i want a GOOD curve.</p>
