PSAT 2011 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>I also put passionate. I was second guessing myself so I looked at the first passage, and it seemed much more objective and matter-of-fact than passionate.</p>

<p>at mini1kim, yes, I’m confident it was.</p>

<p>Yep it was channel</p>

<p>I still can’t see that passage as passionate.</p>

<p>Here is how my test went</p>

<p>Reading</p>

<p>These are some the hard words I remember</p>

<p>gratuitious
ruse and artifice
alacrity
bellicosity and gambit</p>

<p>for the passages
the house ones
what was similarity of the decription of houses in the passages?
a.outdated
e.homogenous (thats what I put)</p>

<p>Compared to passage 2 author of passage one is
I put critical </p>

<p>The biographer one with the lady’s book</p>

<p>understatement and personification
understandable but regretful (something along those lines)</p>

<p>The duncan and mo one killed me.</p>

<p>I believe I put outdated on that one. Homogenous buildings would have contradicted the first passage.</p>

<p>math (the tough ones)</p>

<ol>
<li>I think it was 30 with the players in the tournament.</li>
<li>I got 1/x^3 as the lowest possible if -1<x<0</li>
<li>I got 11 for the triangle one</li>
<li>with the males and females in the company. I got c k/2k -n something like that</li>
</ol>

<p>free response
For the very last one with the a, a, b, c, c I got a+c = 35. Pretty sure on this one.
For </p>

<p>For the functions one f(x) = 1/3x + something g(x) = x- 2 what was the shared y coordinate. I got 5.5</p>

<p>I missed two ommited 3 overall. Really dumb mistakes.</p>

<p>Math I think you got everything write except maybe 14 (idk).
Writing i agree with your eel answer.
Reading I got homogenous, and forgot the rest</p>

<p>Writing</p>

<p>Dont know what to say but a few here and there were tricky. The last paragraph question stumped me(what whould be best to add to 6-15) cause I usually ace them.</p>

<p>Then there was the eel one. eel’s have organs which enable not enables</p>

<p>I remember some more questions but those are the ones which come to me first.</p>

<p>Quite a memory. On the 15 one I believe I put -(1/x). That would technically be less, correct?</p>

<p>Oh wait, I take that back. I don’t remember exactly what I put on that question.</p>

<p>The tournament thing had to be 30. I worked it graphically, and [(6<em>5)/2]</em>2=30.</p>

<p>The one about the number being the least was 1/x^3 because when a number is between 0 and -1, higher, odd powers in the denominator make its absolute value greater, thereby less because the number was negative.</p>

<p>Yeah I believe that was homogenous, because both authors are acknowledging that sprawling is happening everywhere</p>

<p>it was outdated, not homogenous. in the first it was explicit, in the second they used “vintage” or something of the sort… homogenous was not referenced in the second. </p>

<p>why was the last grid in 35?
I thought Median was 20 and mean was 30… →
2a + 2c +20 = 150 → a+c=65? </p>

<p>what do you guys expect the curves will look like for CR, W, and M?</p>

<p>I put homogenous. Didn’t both call the buildings and developments “cookie cutter”?</p>

<p>Guys there is an answer thread by the way. No need to clog up the discussion thread.</p>

<p>95+% of the answers in the answer thread are probably correct</p>

<p>nah bruh. The question was if x is between -1 and 0 or -1<x<0 which of the following is the least?</p>

<p>a. 1/-x
b. 1/-x^2
c.
d.1/1/-x
e. 1/-x^3 (right answer)</p>

<p>I Picked -.5</p>

<p>-.5^3 = -.125 and 1/-.125 = -8 the lowest</p>

<p>yo are you guys sure that the one where f(x) = x/3 + 3 and f(x)=x-2 asked for the y-coordinate? i thought it asked for x-coordinate and put 7.5. god ■■■ i always get 800 on math. i missed both the isoceles triangle one and this one…</p>

<p>evanh14- i used the exact same reasoning…
cant afford to get anymore wrong …gah</p>

<p>What is a general score estimate of 3 wrong, one from each section, and 2 blanks in reading and 1 blank in writing?</p>
