PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>For some idiotic reason I put recant for that question about the scientist losing most of her funds…I don’t even know why that sounded remotely correct to me…I thought the CR was much harder than last year. Super glad that I live in Nevada and you only need a score of something like 203 to get NM Semifinalist. :)</p>

<p>Yeah, she gave up on talking to her dad for the moment and tried to find something else to do. She wasn’t angry (her father was always sociable like that), and she didn’t really display disdain.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If the sentence were rephrased as “Although most people know her for her voice acting in cartoons, she is also known for her voice acting in something else”, wouldn’t that mean the same thing as “Although she is best known for her voice acting in cartoons, she is also known for her voice acting in something else”? Is there an error in the first sentence? It seems like you’re trying to apply the better/best rule in a situation where it’s inapplicable.</p>

<p>but wasn’t she expressing her anger by saying “papi always does this. now i have to find something else to do.” those weren’t the exact words but that is whay i remember. if it was resigned wouldn’t it mean that she was apathetic about the matter.</p>

<p>Stop arguing about the answers. We’ll find them out in less than two months. You’re not supposed to talk about them until scores are reported, anyhow. All the worrying and stressing you’re doing over these questions is not going to change the answer you put down. You will get what you will get, so chill out. Man.</p>

<p>wait about that math question- if today is sunday what day will it be 50 days from now?
I got Monday, but what it the month has 30 or 31 days?</p>

<p>@whodareswins, it doesn’t matter if the month has 30 or 31 days.</p>

<p>DUhhhhh, sorry i just realized that.</p>

<p>emabarrasing…lol</p>

<p>THE ANSWER IS RESIGNED! I am 100%.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Hahahahahaha…</p>

<p>me too sandwichgirl, it had to be resigned</p>

<p>“To have been built” is the appropriate correction.</p>

<p>@seanosully - I put sympathetic. I’ve heard sarcastic too, but mostly sympathetic.</p>

<p>Generally, that author seemed sympathetic to the “special” feeling people have about their minds, although he did point out that a feeling couldn’t disprove the scientific discoveries.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It was sympathetic. I recommend reading through the rest of the thread to find answers to questions you’re unsure about and only asking about a certain question if you can’t find an answer.</p>

<p>This will be (most likely) my last assertion on the Egyptian question, but “to have been built something years ago” does not work. It’s like saying “it has been built yesterday.” It should be “had,” and “to had been built” doesn’t sound right. Either I’m correct (I’m not saying I am 100%) or I’m remembering the question wrong.</p>

<p>Where can we find our state’s cutoff rate?</p>

<p>People at my school were telling me (in California) that it was 213, 219, 220…etc.</p>

<p>I’m hoping for 213 xD</p>

<p>I’m hoping for a kicka$$ score- if you know what I mean,lol.</p>

<p>Haha, I must laugh at my own joke there.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the Carolina axe chopping thing? I said sentimental because it talked about how the writer was from there or something</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Perhaps we’re off with our explanation on the solution to the “to be” issue, but “to be” definitely did not work, given that the pyramid(?) had been constructed some 4000 years prior to the discovery.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I put the answer that mentioned… “sharp” or “piercing”, I don’t exactly remember. I assumed the answer was a continuation of the metaphor comparing the axe and the tree to his rhetoric and his audience (and their views or prejudices).</p>
