PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>

Forgetting the “buttress/minimize” part of this sentence, could you explain why “aggravate” would work in the first part of the sentence?</p>

<p>kirby22003:</p>

<p>I had the same question. I put sympathetic but I think it might be sarcastic since he wan’t actually sympathetic.</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the tone of the lawy er with his friends</p>

<p>the one about New York/Columbia?</p>

<p>The goal of the essay: to expose truth, not winning?</p>

<p>What is the main idea?</p>

<p>Aggravate works here. It’s a synonym of “interfere” or “disrupt.”</p>

<p>What did you guys do to get the answer for the AA2 one in the math section? I ended up multiplying the wrong thing. :/</p>

<p>

I put “to give example of people fighting these practices (or something like that, I believe it was Choice A)”. And I think the goal of the essay was to reveal flaws in our legal system, or something like that.</p>

<p>^Yes, to expose truth/flaws in our system.</p>

<p>The lawyer was disgusted.</p>

<p>@violinplayer: I put affronted. NY/Columbia? Uhhh… I think it was the first choice; I don’t remember the actual answer. I put “to expose truth” for the goal :slight_smile: don’t remember main idea</p>

<p>Does anyone know if scores will be available online? I don’t think they ever are, but just in case! Unfortunately, I have to wait until Jan to get my score, esp. because my counselors are slow :(</p>

<p>but why isnt it about that people were question the integrity of them?</p>

<p>@Mascara: it was 26 (letters) times 26 (letters; can be repeated) times 10 (there are 10 digits from 0-10). 6760?</p>

<p>Disgusted or affronted? I said disgusted.</p>

<p>

No, it isn’t. Aggravate means to make something more serious or intensify something. Plus, I don’t see “interfere or disrupt” listed as synonyms of aggravate on either of these sites.

<p>The lawyer wasn’t disgusted. It said he was deeply offended. Affronted was the best word for that.</p>

<p>It wasn’t disgusted. College Board regularly has very extreme answers listed as wrong choices. It was affronted (which means offended).</p>

<p>What were the other choices for the lawyer question?</p>

<p>Besides affronted and disgusted I mean.</p>

<p>I thought it was affronted. Disgusted was way too harsh</p>

<p>disgusted, affronted, skeptical, embarrassed, and something else</p>

<p>So guys, after looking here…what do you think your scores are?</p>

<p>I’m gonna do with:
CR - 68-72
M - 71-77
W - 71-77</p>

<p>On the question about the actress who “starred in” something or rather
is it wrong because it’s supposed to be “stars in” ?</p>

<p>^^^ What was the something else? I may have put affronted… if I’m lucky. Crap.</p>
