PSAT 2011 Wednesday Answer Thread

<p>the pedestrian one was something like:</p>

<p>Some group of people (artists maybe?) created things that were very _______; their creations were unoriginal and not imaginative.</p>

<p>^That’s pretty impressive.
Maybe… M(72), CR(80), W(74)?</p>

<p>Another choice for the pedestrian question: prosaic.</p>

<p>@imaboss was insidious an answer choice on the question asking about Mo’s teaching? i think that one should have been “pompous”.</p>

<p>oooh. sorry, but do you remember the answer choices?</p>

<p>and sophomores- dont worry so much because it really doens’t matter/count.</p>

<p>@Diatomiclove,</p>

<p>That would be true but it wasn’t the reason he was using them for. It was kinda like a side-effect…the main point of using the quotes was to show, in a some-what sarcastic way, that he disagreed with them.</p>

<p>imaBOSS - Yes, I got insidious!!</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore too, what do you guys think my score will be?
I’m at
M: -0
W: -1 or 2
CR: -4 or 5</p>

<p>prosaic was for the library question…</p>

<p>I’m at:
M: -2 maybe one more off.
Reading: -2 ± 1
Writing -1 ± 1</p>

<p>Last year my states cutoff was 214. I hope I get it :(</p>

<p>I can’t believe I got the math ones wrong, still.</p>

<p>haha alright cool i don’t even remember the other answer choices but i don’t think that question has been brought up yet…just throwing it out there</p>

<p>@kamzarro,</p>

<p>I said pompous as well.</p>

<p>Btw how many questions were on the cricical reading? </p>

<p>how many can you get wrong to get a 650? how about 700?</p>

<p>if I got…-2 on the W…what’s my score?</p>

<p>CR:
What did the authors agree about the sprawlings? outdated. Couldn’t be tasteless because the second author said that they have found some value in tourism, yet they are still outdated.<br>
I believe the one with mundane was mundane but not sure about that one
Can someone please reply to this with some about the Mo passage?
The emily one i believe one of the answers was the essays because it was the only piece of material they had ample amounts of. The sister’s actions were something with forgivable i believe.<br>
Math:
Cylinder one was 1/2 pie r^2 somethign like that because the 35 and the 70 made no sense whatsoever.
134 CDs
1360 as area
The denominator for one of them was 2k- something
if anyone has questions about the math im pretty sure i got either an 80 or maybe one wrong. I simply cannot think of them on the spot at the moment.
Writing:
For the last column on the answer sheet i remember getting more As than any other letter, but not by much.<br>
The question that began with “for they…” was letter A because should be “for those.” if anyone wants to reply to this to refresh my memory that’d be great</p>

<p>i don’t think prosaic and pedestrian were choices on the same question. they’re practically synonyms lol.</p>

<p>For the vocab question with pedestrian as the answer, if that’s the question, then couldn’t prosaic have been the answer? According to a list Testmasters sent out, 95. prosaic - lacking in imagination and spirit; dull</p>

<p>biovball - i’m a sophomore too. I’m really terrified about my scores :-/ </p>

<p>I seriously, like got all of them wrong on the math section. I am terrible at math. but the writing was easy… the most i got wrong…prob -2</p>

<p>@Greenmamba20 the cylinder one was 35(pi)r.</p>

<p>they could have agreed on “homogeneous” because they both said cookie-cutted __</p>

<p>pedestrian was the better answer because it was saying that some official didn’t put much interest into looking at something. prosaic wouldn’t make sense in the sentence in this case</p>
