PSAT '09 Form W Thread

<p>TQSMNTASP is correct in stating that “to build” was definitely a correct part of the sentence and was not the answer. The second clause had a “to ____” which creates the need for parallel construction.</p>

<p>Additionally for the A, B, X & 5 & 3 problem, it was one point because it said that the points were on the same PLANE, which is just a flat surface that you can use the circle method or diamond method (one i used) to draw out the other point.</p>

<p>^ In that case, I now stand at CR -2, M -1, W -2. Was it just me, or did other people find the Writing section unusually difficult this year?</p>

<p>I KNEW it lol yup it was in the center.</p>

<p>protaginzer was it came or NE.</p>

<p>There are officially only 3 NE answers.</p>

<p>Bach
Bird
Season.</p>

<p>was #18 A ??? the implication question.</p>

<p>Sadly I found the dumbest section easy and my best section math hard… life sux lol.</p>

<p>@Protagonizer</p>

<p>Do you remember the exact “to build” sentence?</p>

<p>I thought it went along the lines of…“L’enfant suggested to build the capitol here before offering to do this…” If it was like this, then “to build” would have to be wrong</p>

<p>Here is the sentence:
L’enfant suggested to build the capitol at the center of Washington D.C. before offering to design a National Mall . . . (Something along the lines.)</p>

<p>I put “to build.”</p>

<p>On the Bach question, I put “was dependent” as wrong because “Dependent” is an adjective where as a verb would have fit much better. I am not all the sure however. Here is a thing to think about: It was the third question on the Identifying Sentence Errors meaning it was an easy question that most people should have gotten right. Almost always the first 3-4 questions will have errors that are easy to pick out by hearing the sentence.</p>

<p>how are to build and building different.</p>

<p>??? Someone confirm</p>

<p>also was #34 Came or NE</p>

<p>also #18 was it A or something else</p>

<p>What was #18, and what was #34? Lol.</p>

<p>Does anybody remember what the circle question–>60 degrees asked. Like what did it ask?</p>

<p>The circle question said that the unshaded regions’ areas’ sum equaled the shaded regions’ areas’ average. It asked you to find the angle for one of the unshaded regions.</p>

<p>fresh you said “in terms of space”. What does the center have to do with space.</p>

<p>When i said space, i didn’t mean outer space or anything like that loool. I meant to say that in terms of describing location, space (the term was meant to be taken abstractedly), the “at” preposition is more efficient in doing so than the “in” preposition.</p>

<p>I find it quite interesting that no matter what the majority of CC says, Fresh101 is still 10000% sure of his answer. </p>

<p>One can have confidence in his answers, can he not?</p>

<p>Additionally for the A, B, X & 5 & 3 problem, it was one point because it said that the points were on the same PLANE, which is just a flat surface that you can use the circle method or diamond method (one i used) to draw out the other point. </p>

<p>That makes no sense. A plane is infinite in size and therefore, you can have an infinite amount of points that satisy the conditions that X has to be 5 from A and 3 from B. What am i not understanding here???!</p>

<p>so all those ppl who say “to build” is NOT the correct answer - did u say NE or the “at the center” thing?</p>

<p>I still think “at the center” is completely fine</p>

<p>I just wish someone would post questions 18 and 34. I need to know what the questions were…</p>

<p>I think the questions were</p>

<p>L’Enfant suggested “to build” the capitol “at the center of washington d.c.” before he offered to design the national mall elsewhere…</p>

<p>something like that.</p>

<h1>34 idk? I think it was the last i.s. errors question.</h1>

<p>Can anyone tell me the answer to the math “spinners” question? Does anyone remember how they got their answer exactly. If u are a math genius and are sure of ur answer.</p>

<p>I got 1/4, but I’m beginning to doubt myself. Did they have to add to greater than or equal to 8? Or just greater than 8?</p>

<p>@angel15
IT was 1/4. I am Rank #1 in Class of 758.</p>

<p>“IT was 1/4. I am Rank #1 in Class of 758.”</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>"IT was 1/4. I am Rank #1 in Class of 758. " lol was this necessary?</p>

<p>@ angel15 </p>

<p>It was 1/4. I can also confirm this. I am NOT Rank #1 in a class of much fewer than 758.</p>

<p>“I am Rank #1 in Class of 758.”
This is why Harvard touts the fact that they reject more than half of the valedictorians who apply.</p>
