<p>was that striking?</p>
<p>I think SAT made me develop better memory lol.</p>
<p>anyways guys I am off been nice revising with you. Its really dis pointing that first section of writing was the experimental one.</p>
<p>The score will appear in 3 days,so we will know by then.</p>
<p>collegeboard said on their facebook page that the scores will appear in early December
it might take a week or 10 days</p>
<p>^Yeh it isn’t logical that it would appear in 3 days because u would have to correct many of the papers at extraordinary rate.</p>
<p>“Why did the author mention ‘Dream Teams’?”
I think I put my answer as: He wanted to prove a point about Amateurism.
i put the same </p>
<p>about bird paradise question : i put to make the sound (something like that ) choice was (A)</p>
<p>what examples did yall use for the essay?</p>
<p>I think Ghandi, and Henry Ford would have been exemplary for this topic. However, I simply blacked out on the essay portion of the exam. Instead, I made up a book. It was called ‘The Village’, by Khaled Mahfouz, a prolific Egyptian author. The protagonist, Baher, finds himself in a predicament. He quarrels with his wife all day and night, until he’s fed up, and decides to take action. He heads to the village sheikh, and asks him for guidance. The sheikh instructs him to do so and so, according to the ancient teachings of our predecessors. As a result, Baher is able to acquiesce his wife, and his marital life is amended. Indeed, sometimes it is necessary to refer to strategies written in stone, to face everyday problems and challenges.</p>
<p>The other example was ludicrous. I spoke of my brother’s experiences with the SAT back in 2005. Supposedly (I made all of this up), there had been rumors about the SAT Writing section and how it would be something completely unheard of. Good old SAT tactics and strategies would not apply to the new portion. However, so it seems, the same fundamental tactics applied to the new addition. Not everything new, requires a new strategy or new resolution.</p>
<p>In your opinions, how much would an essay like this yield in score? (Assuming that it was written with good sentence variation, good grammar, decent transitions, and apt vocabulary).</p>
<p>Number 8 in the Grid-In:
It had a drawing. There were two lines that interesected at a point, and the question asked for the x or y coordinate (can’t remember which) of the point of intersection, which was I think the “price” of something.</p>
<p>Anyway, my answer was C) 60$</p>
<p>Can anyone confirm?</p>
<p>Bump. Is the thread dead already lol.</p>

^ for the analogous comparison, I put the lecturer being able to speak fluently without notes, though I’m pretty sure that was for the piano player… it was the most closely related because the piano player was able to compose music freely without sheet music, and that’s when he became “free.”</p>
<p>I put amateurism for “dream teams.” (:</p>

</p>
<p>I understand why I is right and why II is wrong. But I try to sketch the line y= x+1 and I can see it crossing the parabola twice?</p>
<p>Then your drawing is not accurate enough, Jackson.</p>
<p>By the way, the reason I’m sure III was not correct is not because I drew it personally or did any sort of calculation. It was because there was no answer with both I and III available. :D</p>
<p>Btw, do you remember the answer to number 8 in the Grid-in? I recall putting down C for 60$.</p>
<p>I remember gridding a 60. If you can describe the question for me, then Ill be able to make sure though.</p>
<p>By the way, I didn’t do that quadratic equation question because I ran out of time 
I’m still quite puzzled about how to find out whether it cuts the parabola at 2 points. Is there an algebraic way, without the use of drawing to find this out?</p>
<p>Yes, jason, it could have been done without drawing, but with a higher possibility of error. With the use of common sense, how would a vertical line (x=2) ever cut a parabola (A “V” figure on a graph) at two points? Obviously, it’s impossible. What about a horizontal line, can it cut a parabola in two points? Well, yes it can, since the parabola is a “V” shape, any line cutting it at one point will cut it at the next. But wait, which line exactly will cut it? Only the one that happens to be horizontal in the parabola’s range. If I recall correctly, the y-intercept of the parabola was 6. Now, would the line y=6 cut this parabola at two points? Yes, it would. It would intersect it exactly at the y-intercept. And for the final choice, y = x + 1, I’m not sure how to prove this one wrong, but according to the answer choices there was no I and III given, so I had to go with I only.</p>
<p>And about the other question, jason, number 8 in the grid-in was multiple choice. Let me clarify myself. Number 8 in the 18 question math section. The answer (I believe) was C)60, right?</p>
<p>I and III is the correct one</p>
<p>substitute y=x+1 into y=x^2-5x+6</p>
<p>x+1=x^2-5x+6</p>
<p>then</p>
<p>x^2-6x+5=0</p>
<p>if u solve it,u get
x=1 and 5</p>
<p>which means it cuts at two points :)</p>
<p>u sure of that ?</p>
<p>@SirWanksalot: I mean tell me what the question said so that I can remember the answer 
and by the way, I know that there were no I and III, but imgallagher’s approach seems correct. I’m puzzled here…</p>
<p>@imgallagher, even if that is true, there was no option that included I and III both. On the other hand, we’re more sure of I than we are of any other choice.</p>
