PSAT 2010 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>How many CR Questions were there total? I wanna say like 46? Or was it 48?</p>

<p>Did anyone think the writing section was really easy and the grammatical mistakes were pretty clear? I went through Princeton Review for this test and the actual PSAT writing seemed a lot easier than PR for me so it was easier.</p>

<p>48 total CR.</p>

<p>And for the blood pressure one, regulation would refer to keeping the blood pressure at a good even value, not too high and not too low. If the regulation was impaired, the body would be unable to keep the blood pressure at a proper level, causing hypertension.</p>

<p>holy crap ^ there goes my good cr score rofl</p>

<p>What do you guys think the curve is for each section?</p>

<p>yeah right… aggravate means to make worse… what was worse to make… so for the blood pressure: impair/minimize</p>

<p>what was the one that was like, for the brain passage, that author two was saying that ‘some say the brain has nothing to do with genomes’ and then it was like, what part of passage one most likely shows this?</p>

<p>or something like that? i put C which was something like ’ brain gives off love and passion’</p>

<p>I also think littlepenguin is right. Increase/diminish makes the most sense, considering what hypertension is. </p>

<p>On the 1st math section, #20 with the soft drinks and popcorn containers, I got Month 3. Anyone else get anything different?</p>

<p>Error ID: It should not be “insured”, but “ensured”, right? (hopefully?)</p>

<p>Yeah Krazy. It should have been ensured. But I’m not sure why this question was in the writing section…its more vocabulary.</p>

<p>or assured… just not insured
it can’t be increase because to increase blood regulation HELPS or is good… so won’t cause hypertension (high blood pressure)</p>

<p>^^Diction, probably.</p>

<p>ATTENTION: ensure and insure are synonymous</p>

<p>i thought math was easy ithought cr-was kinda hard-the part about the mind was tricky so was the one about the cosmologists
writing was writing but the problem was a car alarm went off during the whole damn writing section and we were all in the gym next to the parking lot where it was grrr…
i know i can improve 200 -300 pts on the sat at least i was happier in the math section than anything else…gr…my luck…plus that morning i had a fight w/my mom…gr…</p>

<p>I took it today. Math sections WERE easy. Reading not so much. I guess that’s why I’m an Asian.</p>

<p>In the reading section, one of the passages said something about North/South Carolina. What did you get for the answer for the one that asked about that?</p>

<p>I kinda liked the cosmology one, it’s just the word ones were kinda of useless.</p>

<p>Good question gajolo</p>

<p>Oh, yah that one was hard. I placed the one that said he wrote realistic stories than the other guy.</p>

<p>any predictions about the curve?</p>
