PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>There’s no way to view past sat tests. The closest you can get is past sat questions on college board and on discussion websites like this one. And I think the pyramid one was also pretty ambiguous.</p>

<p>really? then where do the released SAT tests come from?</p>

<p>What released sat tests?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the feline habit question on writing and the answer choices?</p>

<p>ok idk about SAT, but i have all the released psat tests, i bought them from collegeboard. My tutor also hands out practice tests, and i’ve definitely heard of people using released tests to practice</p>

<p>okay our state’s cut off is 221. i’m screwed.</p>

<p>The feline one was choice E, which was the only one without feline’s… i think</p>

<p>Do you remember the sentence and/or any of the answer choices specifically?</p>

<p>NY is 217 this year :slight_smile: (1 point less than last year, which I’m sort of glad about. Was afraid it would be higher this year)
For those who want to see their state’s cut-off,
[National</a> Merit Scholarships](<a href=“http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html]National”>http://www.collegeplanningsimplified.com/NationalMerit.html)
this site is accurate, hopefully?</p>

<p>

Anyone remember what this question was asking? I vaguely remember it…</p>

<p>ok…this is going to sound stupid
but on the first questions of the 3rd section (Math)</p>

<p>how many parallel lines were there???
2???I freaked out cuz I was sure that there was some trick and it couldnt be just 2…</p>

<p>It said that the sum of 5 integers was 100, the smallest was 10, there were each different and asked for the largest possible integer</p>

<p>there was a writing question improving passages type that was like What did the author mean… and one of the choices was using sticks to knock out figs? What were the other choices?</p>

<p>@sister227: I got 84 for the “5 integers to 100” problem.</p>

<p>The answer for the cube problem was 640, right? (I fear that the question said that the sides of cube Q were 4 more than those of cube P, not 4 times the length of those of cube P). And was the answer to the combination problem 6760?</p>

<p>EDIT: @violinplayer: I got that answer choice as well.</p>

<p>^^^^Isn’t that for the class of 2011 (i.e., seniors), not for the class of 2012?</p>

<p>

Yep, I remember it now. Thanks!</p>

<p>Do any of you remember any other chooses to hat fig passage writing question I think another chice was like monkeys were like other apes or something or am I thinkin of a different question</p>

<p>I took it yesterday as a sophomore. </p>

<p>For the question regarding body-mind duality, what was the author of the second passage’s point for referring to the brain as a “bunch of molecules”?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>He was trying to acknowledge that it was an unappealing idea, right? Or was that a different question?</p>

<p>I said that he was emphasizing an overmodest approach…I might be wrong tho…</p>

<p>OK…can anyone PLZ tell me if the first question in the 3rd math section is there are 2 pairs of parallel lines??? (I know I’m freaking out over something stupid</p>

<p>and btw
can someone restate all the answers we’ve come up for the writing section again? Im really confused…</p>
