PSAT 2011 Wednesday Answer Thread

<p>No it said has</p>

<p>^ you JUST took the test?
I doubt it…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree - I saw has too …</p>

<p>sorry for the confusion</p>

<p>Okay, well do you guys remember if the sentence said “showed” or “shows”?</p>

<p>Because if it said “shows,” it’s NE.</p>

<p>Saw “has” over here as well :/</p>

<p>Yes, i just took it.</p>

<p>I really thought there was a tense change, but since the sentence did start with “that” and it sounds awkward, it probably was no error, unless there was a multitude of trickery, like starting the sentence with that, using a less common past participial, etc., designed to distract people from the tense change.</p>

<p>I remember it was has because I remember debating between has/had, then being a ■■■■■■ and calling it an error, thinking it was had, and not getting NMSF.</p>

<p>showed, no doubt.</p>

<p>That…suggests…has shrunk. End of story.</p>

<p>HMMMMM.
That the … showed… how much the market has shrunk.
Tense change, anyone? Then that just means either could be correct. o_________e</p>

<p>I’m too confused to comprehend this anymore.</p>

<p>I saw has as well. I remember a question very similar to this on one of the official practice sats. It had “that” in a similar sentence structure and it was correct. I left this one blank but I was leaning towards E.</p>

<p>^That’s what I said: It’s a tense change.</p>

<p>Does anybody remember the full sentence? Now I’m getting worried No Error might be wrong…although it wouldn’t really be a tense change, since it’s logical that the market would still be smaller today, ergo the present-tense ‘has’…ugh. I just want to know how I did.</p>

<p>Why does it take them 2 months to score the PSAT? It’s all machine scanned!</p>

<p>oh, and does anyone know what happens if junior year you make the cut, then move senior to a different state where you dont?</p>

<p>Can someone copy paste the latest ‘correct answers’ list?</p>

<p>That the…was…suggests…has shrunk.
was - certain about that
suggests - fairly certain
has shrunk - 100% sure</p>

<p>I’m calling it No Error. Which means I got it wrong. But no error seems the most correct.
End of story.</p>
