PSAT 2011 Wednesday Answer Thread

<p>@kamzarro - good point about arrogant vs. pompous, I think those are too close to be on the same question</p>

<p>@000ooo000ooo it was definitely 37 million.</p>

<p>The passage never said anything about the student being good or bad. He just was give n the responsibility to speak for the class.</p>

<p>China/India math question: China had 100 million (4 bars on the pictograph). India had 1.5 bars on the pictograph, so the answer should have been 37 million.</p>

<p>I also got 260000 for some math question asking to find the difference between car sales or something.</p>

<p>@f1yin9hi9h
Yup it was either 37 or 38 but you’re correct on that one as well as the 260000 question.</p>

<p>@dasdui
I feel the same way. I don’t remember that being even remotely close to a reasonable answer. Does anyone remember the other answers to that question?</p>

<p>I thought x<y<0 was I, II, III.</p>

<p>@kachow that’s right</p>

<p>waaaiitt it was 134?? i swore it was 117 cd’s. and i thought it was outdated not homogenous maann.</p>

<p>!!!
Can someone please tell me if 10 was one of the answers for the triangle one??</p>

<p>@000 Are you talking about the one where most people said that Mo was trying to limit Duncan’s teaching ability? If so, my answer for that one was something like “Mo was a shrewd judge of the students’ character”.</p>

<p>@taneeshie - Yep, definitely 134.</p>

<p>@green
I think the answer choices for isosceles triangle w/ perimeter 24 were:</p>

<p>A. 10
B. 11
C. 14
D. ??
E. 22</p>

<p>11 was the right answer.</p>

<p>^ maybe 17 or something for D? I feel like it was kind of off-the-wall</p>

<p>there’s also the readymade question about what sentence would fit best between 4 & 5. I think I put “welcomed criticism…blahblah” or something like that.</p>

<p>I thought it asked for the maximum base of the triangle?</p>

<p>@Amyga
He was embarrassed because he was asking something for the whole class, not because he was out of place. I need more information if you want me to explain it further, I don’t quite remember it. </p>

<p>@Greenmamba
No, it was 11.</p>

<p>That the thieves failed to sell all of the stolen artwork they had smuggled out of Sicily shows that the market for stolen antiquities has shrunk.
This one has no error.</p>

<p>That the thieves failed to sell all of the stolen artwork they had smuggled out of Sicily showed that the market for stolen antiquities has shrunk.
This one should be had shrunk.</p>

<p>Which one was it?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the question and answer choices for the extraterrestrial question with the answer “passionate”? (something about tone)</p>

<p>@kamzarro
Yeah, that was another answer choice I remember now but I don’t think that was what I put. I also remember being confident on that passage…do you remember the actual question?</p>

<p>The answer is Mo is a Shrewd judge of the student’s character. He’s being very smart (not wise) in assuming that the students will mess around</p>

<p>i prepped so much for this and i still didnt do well on the test! anyone have an idea what the cutoff score for National Hispanic Recognition may be this year for the mid atlantic? Critical reading got me and i didnt finish math in time. writing skills was pretty good. I actually thought that the math was easy but me missing two gridins and getting like 2 wrong is gonna ruin me!</p>
