<p>They want to have roughly equal representation from each state.</p>
<p>^ That’s right.</p>
<p>Am I going insane or are other people also losing some sleep because of their PSAT scores?</p>
<p>On that note, what do people think about the much debated writing questions?</p>
<p>And any more projected curves?</p>
<p>This is driving me crazy…</p>
<p>^Same here. I’m starting to think that I didn’t even make the NM commended scholar cutoff. But I’m not losing sleep over this anymore. I’m just going to wait patiently until mid-December, when I can rejoice or feel bad about my scores. Hopefully, the former.</p>
<p>halcyon/onerous vs. feckless/tedious</p>
<p>well i put feckless and tedious, since i personally thought it made more sense (not fit to assume responsibility) and tedious (boring, monotonous, time consuming)</p>
<p>but halcyon and onerous make sense too i guess, halcyon (peaceful, carefree) and onerous (burdensome). </p>
<p>Actually now that i think of it, the sentence was along the lines of this: The English believed the Indians were ________ but after further research they found out that the work they did was _______. (or something like this)</p>
<p>I just put feckless cause halcyon has more connotations with “peacefulness” rather than not doing work (not assuming responsibility). not really sure tho</p>
<p>tedious/ feckless is certainly appealing but only works after some complicated-synonyms-of-third-definitions finageling, halcyon/ onerous is best choice</p>
<p>on writing sentence corrections one about recycling was the “were to” necessary or not?
i put “were to” but guessed</p>
<p>With everyone stressing about CR and writing, I’m hoping there was a mean curve. I’m positive I only got one wrong on the Math ;)</p>
<p>were was correct, ex: “if i were a rich man” ,contrary to fact statements require were</p>
<p>were was correct, ex: “if i were a rich man” ,contrary to fact statements require were</p>
<p>any chance identify error “to build” was wrong. I’m dumb but it just sounded funny so i marked it wrong. was it “at the city” or ne?</p>
<p>for feckless the first definition that comes up in google when you type in “define:feckless” is not fit to assume responsibility, which makes perfect sense</p>
<p>not fit to assume responsibility, what responsibility?-the responsibility of tedious work?-no, halcyon=carefree=free of cares=free of responsibilities-the opposite of onerous=having or involving respnsibilities</p>
<p>^ I thought ‘halcyon’ meant ‘peaceful’. That’s also the 1st definition you get when you type ‘define:halcyon’ into Google.</p>
<p>it does and it also means carefree, have you heard the expression halcyon days of youth? halcyon comes from the greek story of ceyx and halcyone</p>
<p>delontewest, I am almost positive “at the center” was the incorrect part of that sentence (hence making it the right answer). One must use “in” when referring to cities.</p>
<p>let’s forget about this thread! and wait for the results that will come out in … 3 weeks?</p>
<p>more like over a month, and over two months for some poor souls whose school thinks its a great idea to release PSAT scores in jan because jesus was born in late december</p>
<p>^the date of the release of scores is irrevelant. What’s more important is the futile discussions of questions that are continuously revived in an attempt to reach a general consensus; yet, such an attempt miserably fails every time the questions are revived with the same arguments for and against the answers. We are getting nowhere people!</p>
<p>at the center is correct. both at and in the center work, so it is NE.</p>
