PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>why is it impartial?</p>

<p>Also, the author said “Very human and very understandable.” He was not biased against humans. It may be sympathatic though now that I think about it. But I’m impartial also fits properly.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Umm, I think the question asked for the author’s attitude of his/her statement, “Very human and very understandable.” That’s definitely sympathetic; see post #231 (mine).</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>Did anyone notice the “Not so: as” answer choice (A) in the chimp vending machine part? I mean it was clearly wrong but it just looks like a mistake.</p>

<p>Oh, just remembered another question! Was the New York court example supposed to show efforts to combat the problem, or to underscore the problem?</p>

<p>do u guys remeber how the math grids went. i am talking about how they appeared on scantron.</p>

<p>was it… 29. 30. 31. 32.</p>

<p>or were the grid quetiosn vertical</p>

<ol>
<li><pre><code>31.
</code></pre></li>
<li><pre><code> 32.
</code></pre></li>
</ol>

<p>Here is how I thought it went:
CR- much more difficult than I expected
Math- easy overall, might have made one or two stupid mistakes
Writing- more difficult than I expected, but I still think I did reasonably well.</p>

<p>I don’t think I skipped any questions at all.</p>

<p>Hi everyone please discuss your answers in the correct subthreads to avoid cluttering…</p>

<p>it was like questioning the integrity of the courts</p>

<p>Why did the authors of the mind passages use “special”? What about passage 2 using “showed” like 5 times…?</p>

<p>one of the answers was affront</p>

<p>

It was supposed to show how they minimize the ramifications of the problem or something like that. I think it was A.</p>

<p>@altamash: they were horizontal…</p>

<p>i think the very undertandable one was , sarcastic. did u notice how he put it as a different , really short sentence. it wsound like a condescending tone, like very understandable…very human.</p>

<p>Thanks, FunStuff! I vacillated between A and E, but eventually did go with A. :)</p>

<p>

</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Horizontal.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>There’s already so much discussion in this thread; I don’t think it’s gonna stop.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think that it showed efforts to combat the problem; 2 very good law agencies (or whatever they’re called) trying to stop the “total war” like kind of lawyering.</p>

<p>I agree with FunStuff</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I think condescending would be more like, “Dumba** humans, they’re so stupid.” Or, “Of course, since they’re humans, this is expected.”</p>

<p>but people questioned their motives</p>

<p>“I chose “appealing but problematic.” While the idea is reassuring, one author bashes the idea (Passage 2, I think). Both authors agree that the idea (of mind being amazing) is appealing (people like feeling special) and that it’s problematic (because it’s probably wrong).” </p>

<p>^Seconded.</p>

<p>I put sarcastic…</p>

<p>I also put appealing but problematic.</p>
