SAT - January 2011 International discussion...

<p>hi everyone! i was wondering if the question that contained 1/n, 1/4,1/5 was part of the experimental section for math?
i think it was asking to find “n” but the 1/n had to be between 1/4 and 1/5. </p>

<p>also, is there a complete list for math? or like a thread with math ans?
thanks! ;)</p>

<p>@SnowyMaple
I remember that Math question but I don’t recall what the answer choices were.
As for the list of Math answers,you can check the November 2008 Math discussion but the answers are rather vague.</p>

<p>@kimayu ok thanks i think i vaguely remember the question for the first answer on the world war II fast food passage. But I don’t have any impression about the second question… What was the question about and what were the choices given? How can food be “absurb”?</p>

<p>@reflection09
Because in the passage the author mentioned something about,"I swear—there is even concentrated mineral water."She described 2 other type of food.In my opinion,her description implied that this sort of processed food seems absurd.</p>

<p>@ reflection09</p>

<p>the qn goes along the line of:
“in the attempt to do something, journalists sometimes …one side of the debate…”</p>

<p>the entire qn is underlined.</p>

<p>its ok if u dun rmb… i myself have v fade memory of the exact wording.</p>

<p>@ reflection09</p>

<p>are u an asian? This posting of yours <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/11890019-post265.html”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/11890019-post265.html&lt;/a&gt; makes you well-acquainted with asian trends and developments.</p>

<p>"For the essay I talked about China’s economy focusing on economic growth indicators as opposed to income disparity/unemployment(process), singapore’s education system(route learning versus independent learning), and the research culture in Korea(scandal of the Korean scientist feigning his experimental results while neglecting the process). "</p>

<p>@ zackzm yea not like its going to make a difference even if i remember… keeping my fingers crossed… i need to hit 2100 =(</p>

<p>yea I’m a Singaporean, what about you? where are you from?</p>

<p>@reflection09</p>

<p>are you sure u need only 2100 if u re a singaporean? which colleges are u aiming for?</p>

<p>@reflection09</p>

<p>i have pm-ed u, in case u dont check ur inbox</p>

<p>@zackzm I already got my place at Imperial college. I’m doing SATs because my scholarship demands that I get 2100 regardless of whether I’m going to UK or US. What about you where are you from and which college are you going to apply to?</p>

<p>so what is the consensus for the set problem? the more i think of it, the more I believe that the answer is the set containing all multiples of 2. </p>

<p>the question if I remember correctly asked which set would contain all the multiples of 4 from 100-1000. 108, which is a multiple of 4 for eg, is divisible by 2 and 4 but not by 8.</p>

<p>the only problem is, I bubbled in multiples of 8(!!). gah, is -1 really 760 -.-</p>

<p>also, what did everyone put for the writing question with the brilliant managers and the ability they have? I bubbled in C which was the option just after the colon.</p>

<p>anyone knows what -1 and 8 essay is for writing?</p>

<p>@reflection09</p>

<p>u really dun check ur inbox here (at cc)… i answered ur qn in my pm to u.</p>

<p>@sghopeful
I think -1 is 780 if you follow the stats given by dark knight
And for the managers question,I’m not so sure…I know there’s a problem with one of the tenses there.All I know about the writing that there is two No Error answer.</p>

<p>i remember that question as something like:</p>

<p>…have one ability which sets the truly brilliant apart from the rest: they discovered what is unique about…</p>

<p>‘they discovered’ doesnt sound like an ability to me. shouldn’t there be a noun after the colon to correspond with the ‘one ability’ or something like “the ability to discover what is unique…”</p>

<p>I’m not sure though</p>

<p>@sghopeful
the math curve is -1 760, according to dark knight. i have conveyed the request from some of you here to dark knight to ask him to verify that. to date. no replies from dark knight… do be prepared, however, for a 10-20 pt deviation resulting from the different experimentals… hope this helps…</p>

<p>we dun have a writing curve for now… but ur essay score is likely to bring it down to the higher 600s if not the lower 700s… range from 680-740 perhaps?</p>

<p>@zackzm I got your message you sent me =) </p>

<p>Btw anyone took the SAT previously? Did your scores improve after taking a second/third time? What were your stategies</p>

<p>a 78 MC and 8 Essay is 680??!</p>

<p>M = 54 - 800; 53 - 780; 52 - 750; 51 - 730; 50 - 720; 49 - 700</p>

<p>I thought if you get -1 it should be 780?</p>

<p>without the benefit of a curve, my best bet is 700-740 if u have a medium curve, below 700 if its harsh curve…</p>

<p>the reason is the relatively low essay score of 8… essay accounts up to 200 points…</p>

<p>a 9 or 10 yields u easily 20-40 more points in certain curves…</p>
