PSAT 2011 Wednesday Answer Thread

<p>I dont agree wit the answer choice Mo wanted to limit Dunkin’s teaching ability. Does anyone remember the other answer choices to that question?</p>

<p>no, isosceles is 11.
the basic rules for triangle sides is that the sum of two sides is greater than the remaining length. 11,11,2. is the max</p>

<p>Mo was an accurate judge of character, Duncan’s students were being rowdy, Duncan couldn’t control the classroom, and one other one. Mo wanted to limit Duncan’s teaching ability was the only one that made sense.</p>

<p>^but do you remember any of the other answer choices for that question?</p>

<p>math and writing curves are always harsh. don’t expect that to be different this year.
CR im praying will give me what i need, although i’m already four wrong in that one.</p>

<p>^im down four section too in CR. Praying the curve is very very lenient.</p>

<p>These are four of the five answer choices for Question 1 of the Mo passage:</p>

<p>Mo was an accurate judge of character, Duncan’s students were being rowdy, Duncan couldn’t control the classroom, Mo wanted to limit Duncan’s teaching ability and one other one.</p>

<p>Mo wanted to limit Duncan’s teaching ability was the only one that made sense.</p>

<p>Down two math and one CR.</p>

<p>four questions* </p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>^No, answer choices. The questions were:</p>

<p>What does sentence one, in context, reflect about Mo?
What is Mo’s teaching style best described as?
What does the mention of the tape recorder do?
What does the description of William imply about what he’s feeling when he’s asking for more songs?
What was Mo doing by saying “kindly” in everything to Duncan at the end of the passage?</p>

<p>The Mo question was pompous. It described him with the verb pontificate which is defined as “express one’s opinions in a way considered annoyingly pompous and dogmatic: he was pontificating about art and history.”.</p>

<p>Critical reading bent me over and had its way with me :frowning: Writing seemed easy, and I only omitted 2 for math.</p>

<p>for CR: five wrong is 69. im so screwed.</p>

<p>No section seemed exceedingly difficult. More so than the others, at least.</p>

<p>Mo was pompous. </p>

<p>I seem to disagree with most people on the Mo and Duncan answers…sigh.</p>

<p>What does sentence one, in context, reflect about Mo?</p>

<p>I thought that it was that Mo thought himself to be a good judge of character, so that was what I put, unless it was actually that he really WAS a good judge of character… in that case I’m wrong by far…</p>

<p>^The choice you’re talking about was that “Mo WAS a good judge of character.” Sorry :&lt;/p>

<p>@override-that’s what I got on the Mo and Duncan question, too.</p>

<p>Additional math answer: The lowest value formed if -1 < x < 0 is 1/(x^3)</p>

<p>Another additional math answer: Intersection of two linear equations, y = 5.5</p>

<p>what was the writing question that had Prohibit “from” does anyone remember?</p>

<p>For the infamous question 20 of the first math session, form W(the one with the a,a,b,c,c 30=median, 20=mean, sum of a+c), I got 35 as the sum of a+c, with a=1 and C=34… thoughts?</p>
