SAT - January 2011 International discussion...

<p>does anyone remember the question about perspective ? it was either on or of i cant remember… i do remember however that i chose A as the wrong part which said “prespective of” i think?</p>

<p>@glacial the question is how to modify the first parapraph, specifically a new introduction. the original first sentence talks abt something called “soaps”. the only sentence tt is most suitable is the one tt relates to explaining “soaps”. however i cant recall if any other choice identifies itself with “soap”… so tts my best way of explaining it.</p>

<p>thnx alloot</p>

<p>no prob ;)</p>

<p>alyshehata i m afraid i dun recall unless u can give abit details…</p>

<p>what was the question that had the answer -a-b</p>

<p>Guys what did you have for your essay prompt? I got the process is more important than the outcome thing, but I blocked and could not thing of a proper example so I ended up creating a story about a scientist/environmentalist haha I spent too much time making it up though and I didnt end my conclusion properly… what examples did you use?</p>

<p>Actually, I think Math was pretty easy, my predicted score around 650. I screwed up essay very badly (maybe 6-8 for both), CR I think I did so so, my prediction- around 550.
In math there wasn’t a question I had no idea about the possible answer, however there was this one with x y angles and I placed 120 as an answer. Totally unsure about it.</p>

<p>*Already like -2 or -3 in Math</p>

<p>One on the elephant passage was about the word “untold”
like “untold handlers didn’t even realize that elephants drew” or something.
What did you put?
I think it was uninformed, but maybe unnamed and numerous</p>

<p>Oh and on the hiking pasage…the author looked down and saw something (?), nobody before her has seen…</p>

<p>and the answers…I don’t remember, I know one of them was because that something was the same colour as the ground (that was def wrong btw). Anyone knows that question?</p>

<p>What about the one with the bookshelf and the author??? Was it sentimental value or chaos from world or something like that???</p>

<p>Oh and…
american food question.
was it because industry wanted to continue using tech or because they wanted to continue using durable/****ty food?</p>

<p>KingUncaged: Escaping from choas. 100% sure</p>

<p>What about comic being used as an educational resource…anyone remembers the question?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what the vocab question with “metaphor” was about? I can’t remember for the life of me ._.</p>

<p>@ Eva0607
i can’t remember the question too :(</p>

<p>the writing section with like six or seven no errors answers is experimental right?</p>

<p>for one of the sentence completion questions…
instead of parallel and disparity
i chose antithetical and difference.</p>

<p>doesn’t “antithetical and difference” make more sense? one is poor and one is rich, so they should be antithetical. and they have economic difference. anybody remembers the exact question?</p>
