PSAT 2011 Saturday General Discussion

<p>Hellofabutler, Im exactly the same! Lets hope to miss no more :)</p>

<p>@Pig I think it was have made.</p>

<p>The population one was HAVE made, the and made the subject plural</p>

<p>It was something like “Population growth and cultural diversity <em>makes</em> Istanbul an interesting place”</p>

<p>@Cyno It couldn’t have been makes because there would be no way to correct that sentence.</p>

<p>i know i picked a plural one, were there any other plural choices? not sure if i picked have made on that one…</p>

<p>No, I was just stating what the original sentence was. I should’ve been more clear.</p>

<p>do you guys think -1 CR would still hold up as an 80?</p>

<p>Wasn’t “make” an answer choice as well?</p>

<p>@Shyams - Yes, -1 CR is still an 80.</p>

<p>@ ankitp4t3l hahah yayy…but seriously the nj cutoff for nmsc semifinalists was 223…■■■ if i get like one or two more wrong i’m screwedd</p>

<p>I remember saying to myself “Jack and Jill make it all better”, so it probably is make.</p>

<p>i remember make</p>

<p>I put make as well.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember a question with a “so” that came from nowhere? Was that the mistake?</p>

<p>It’s “make” not “have made”, because “growing” is an ongoing process in the present and “have made” implies the process has already completed - which it has not.</p>

<p>-Strip malls are soulless</p>

<p>damn i put “make”, i read that too quickly. i think “have made” makes more sense with population growth</p>
