PSAT Wednesday,October 17- How was it??

<p>alright yea i dont think 84 was a choice..so i think i got 85..</p>

<p>oh well. i guess ill find out when theycome back in december but i dont feel like waiting that long..i think i should go ask someoneinschool but that i dont think anyone would remember</p>

<p>the fascinatlingly intricate web one was C, because there was a subject-verb agreement error.</p>

<p>was it x+y = 123 and x/y+ 2, what is x?</p>

<p>Answer 82 </p>

<p>82+41=123
and 82/41=2</p>

<p>are you sure the one about intricate web is C? many people have gotten E for no error, it was the one about europa anmd the ocean right?</p>

<p>oh yea thanks for the qestuon yea then i did get 82</p>

<p>umm thats E, it said intricate web of rivers, the subject is web not rivers so its E no error.</p>

<p>What was the "wrote of question, B-E were all a fmor of wrote and then about, but only A was wrote of, i put A because ithought that the verb wrote was the only one that worked but i dont know if wrote of was the correct idiom (it was like he wrote of the astronomy or something like that)</p>

<p>Also what was the African preacher one (like what was the exact question), you guys said dissmissive wasthe answer but i dontknow the question (was that a sentence completion question?)</p>

<p>wrote about.
yeah i put "wrote of" as wrong too.</p>

<p>Dismissive..it was like what did the author think of the comments of the audience?
likne 1-2..and she didnt' care much about what they said because she was like.. its " what everybody said"..idk sounded dismissive to me.</p>

<p>wait wasn't the wrote of question a sentence revision question not identifying sentence error question?</p>

<p>it was identifying sentence error.</p>

<p>wait yea i thought wrote of was a sentence improvment one</p>

<p>I put wrote of as the answer (for what should be correct) because all the other ones were like written about, writes about, who wrote about....they didnt make sense..i think wrote of works.</p>

<p>about the preacher, did you get an answer that was like she felt embarrased at her dad while the young boys thought the preacher showed courage by being arrested?</p>

<p>and so everyone agrees the one about the web of oceans on jupiter is e?</p>

<p>ohh..well idk.
Isn't wrote about the right idiom? or whatever?</p>

<p>I put she was ashamed.. i think?</p>

<p>and yeah I put e for that too.</p>

<p>yea i think she was ashamed, same thing (it was one of those dual questions), i dont remember the dismissive one, but i must have put that, seeing the question doesnt seem that hard.</p>

<p>yea wrote about sounds a lot better, but i dont recall a wrote about, only a written about..and it had to be past tense</p>

<p>for the sentence error-id i didnt have a single diction or idiom problem..weird.</p>

<p>^ I don't really remember any of the writing ones. =[ lol
We'll just have to see when we get our score reports.........
......
in december.
BLAH.
I hate that.</p>

<p>i have a general question about the psat
the question about the bill-the prevented its being passed
people argue that its should be referring to opponents not bills or something like that, but if you were allowed to changed its, wouldnt that change the meaning of the sentence.
are you allow to alter meanings of sentences?
and if you changed to "it from being passed", would the from be part of its or being passed?</p>

<p>idk..i just thought its was possesive and it shouldn't have been, but I think that the sentence was correct now, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>yeah I put "wrote of" as well, because none of the others sounded right, but wrote about is the correct idiom, so It's probably wrong :( I think the first question about the embarrassed girl was Chagrin, since chagrin means embarrassed, so I missed that one. </p>

<p>Can you guys discuss more about the Arabella one with the royalty girl and mean grandmother? I thought that one was really hard. </p>

<p>Are you sure "Consider shy people" is correct?</p>

<p>arbella, umm dont remeber the questions</p>

<p>i know she wanted to remedy her situation because passage 1 found it opressive (the grandmother)-is that what you got?</p>

<p>and that passage 2 would respond overly simplistic..(not too sure though)</p>

<p>passage 2 mentions edward's experiences and troubles to convey a differnt thought i thni(choice A)</p>

<p>Quicksandslowly: no no no. Chagrin deffinitly wasn't it. Chagrin means irritated though doesn't it?
she wasn't embarassed by what the audience said about her dad, that's for sure.
unreal123:
over simplistic..i put humorous ( there's a debate though)</p>

<p>i dont really recall that qusetion but if it was "i dont really care" was in that passage its dismissive, which i probalby put...
wait humorous was a choice? i thought it was like utterly defensive, intentionally comical, something with purposely, well it was two word answers, so if humorous is intentionally comical, i dont think that could work because theres a little bit of difference, i dontthink passage 2 thought passage 1 was intentionally being humorous...but what do i know..my worst on this test and every other test is CR..
i asked a couple of my friends about that question, and like 2 said overly simplistic (but they werentsure 100%) and like one said utterly defensive (which is probalby wrong)
for the "wrote of", it might be a correct idiom because typing that into google with quotes around it gives me over 1,700,000 hits. wrote about gives 2,200,000 hits, not that big of a difference</p>

<p>^ well. Idk. If it said intentionally comical , I know I wouldn't have chosen it so it must have said something else, but I swear the author of passage 2 was thinking that arabella's description was humorous because of her stupidity, but then CR isn't my best either.
Math all the way man. =]</p>

<p>for arbella does anyone recall which answer choice desperate vs prudence was?</p>

<p>Was it by any chance D, anjd was vanity vs. bad decisions B?</p>

<p>sorry i dont know which one i put i just put answer D, i dont think i was thinking clearly</p>

<p>thanks, i know its like a week but its really bothering me.</p>
