PSAT 2011 Wednesday General Discussion

<p>‘that’, ‘has shrunk’, or no error were the only ones it could’ve been.</p>

<p>I put that, but a lot of people are saying ‘has shrunken’ would be correct or that ‘has’ was wrong, and I’m inclined to be on their side. Others are also saying ‘has shrunk’ would be fine and it was no error.</p>

<p>@studious, i’m pretty sure it was deplorable. i don’t think it even mentioned the quality of speech? simply that they were disorganized, etc</p>

<p>The thieves question was like…</p>

<p>That blah blah blah, blah blah blah has shrunk.</p>

<p>I put has shrunk (or maybe it was had shrunk, idk) because it sounded awkward, but I think it’s grammatically correct. :confused: I think the answer is no error.</p>

<p>I’m just going to forget about my 230+ goal now … :mad:.</p>

<p>Is starting a sentence with “That” gramatically correct? It seems so awkward…</p>

<p>Anyways I don’t get why I’m fretting about this question. It’s gonna be 1 out of like 5 wrong I get anyways -_-</p>

<p>^ Had shrunk is grammatically correct. Yeah, I missed it.
Can someone please tell me why “they who were” was incorrect (the Parliament question)?</p>

<p>For the cd question I got that he had to sell 133.33 cd to equal, which meant that he would have to sell 134 cds.</p>

<p>Also, what did people get on the exponent question. I put k=5/3.</p>

<p>I pretty sure that the thieves was no error. The sentence started “That the thieves were unable to sell the artwork they had stolen…” underling that</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes it is acceptable.</p>

<p>IceQube, as long as you did your best I wouldn’t get too upset. I’m just annoyed because the ones I got wrong, I got wrong for stupid reasons. The one about an isosceles triangle with the same perimeter as the right triangle is really making me embarrassed. For some reason my brain stopped working and I forgot if an isosceles had 2 sides the same or all different… I think it was just due to nervousness.</p>

<p>@moxiemo i got 5/3 as well.</p>

<p>Will the Math curve likely be rough this year?</p>

<p>math was a joke…
I think I failed CR though. I already know I got like 5 wrong… For writing, I know I got at least one wrong. I just hope there is a big curve this year.
BTW, anyone remember the answer to the first question on the sprawl passage, something about “vulgar people”?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I did my best, but I missed a couple of CR and M questions. My main problem was time - at home - I was always able to get everything done and double checked in 25 minutes flat, but that didn’t quite work out today - I often did not get to double check all my work.</p>

<p>for the “vulgar people” one i put the author was distancing himself from a viewpoint or something like that, i was confused on that one though.</p>

<p>Same bro. At home I was finishing math with 8 min left and writing with 2-3. But pressure caused me to slightly choke. It happens in pressure and thats life. You gotta be able to think on your feet in pressure sometimes.</p>

<p>for the vulgar people i think i said the author was quoting someone because in the begining of the sentence it said “critics were arguing loudly …”
anyone else agree?</p>

<p>The vulgar people one bothered me. Since he had just mentioned the critics or whatever, I felt like it could’ve been an actual quotation said by the critics aforementioned. But I ended up putting distancing from the viewpoint.</p>

<p>I didn’t like Professor Mo</p>

<p>I hated the Professor Mo passage. Though I think I got all the questions pertaining to it right.</p>

<p>The one I wasn’t totally sure on was where it asked about the “kind” phrases that he spoke to Duncan with</p>
