SAT March 10 2012

<p>@pinkrose. Sorry, but I don’t think that is right. For example, if you said the parts of the textbook include pictures, captions, and text… include is referring to the PARTS and in the case of the lipstick the ingredients were plural so varies would make sense. Also, lipstick is singular, lipsticks is plural. Additionally, whose does not only refer to people. It would be grammatically correct to say “I will have to fix the car whose engine I ruined” (wikipedia).</p>

<p>I thought the SAT was easier than expected haha</p>

<p>I agree with you, KidXanthous.</p>

<p>@northkorea - there has never been a curve of -1 -> 680.</p>

<p>i put language for “what was the first impression of the great aunt”… am i wrong?</p>

<p>Is expressiveness a word?!</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the grammar question about the lawyer?
What was the answer; Did it have a “I” or “me” in it?</p>

<p>@SMARTDUDE101
That sentence has been discussed quite a lot in the March 2012 SAT Writing Thread. I believe the consensus is “…except for me was a lawyer.” The full sentence can be found on the aforementioned thread.</p>

<p>@annue15; What is the “aforementioned thread”
And if you seperate the sentence, “me was a lawyer” does not sound correct, only “I was a lawyer” sounds right.</p>

<p>@SMARTDUDE go check out the writing thread. except me is a prepositional phrase.</p>

<p>can anyone tell me if they had the question about “first law of thermodynamics is where energy is conserved” on their writing section, because I had three writing sections (one experimental) and I want to find out if that was it.</p>

<p>@xwellian I think it was appearance since she was talking about how the aunt had short hair and clothes that she liked…</p>

<p>What did you guys say for the one about the girl who visited the zoo… was it the puffin was the animal she most enjoyed seeing or most enjoyed to see</p>

<p>And for the reading question…it was definitely appearance. She commented on how she dressed differently than every other woman because she wore pants.</p>

<p>I went H.A.M. on this test.</p>

<p>I got scavages too
@ jtcsmash, nope, didn’t have that one.</p>

<p>did anyone understand that question about the students taking chemistry and physics? it asked which students took both? adding up the number of students made me get above the number of students that they gave, so it made absolutely no sense. </p>

<p>also, did anyone else find the electoral part of the reading difficult? I lost complete focus on that part and I feel like that’s gonna have a really bad effect on my score</p>

<p>The chemistry/physics one was 180. I thought the electoral thing was fairly easy, but I am kinda into politics, so it made sense.</p>

<p>Getting 180 is impossible. There were a total of 32 students. The problem asked how many students took both chemistry and physics, so clearly you’re off. </p>

<p>I’m into politics as well and I understood the first one perfectly fine but for some reason I lost focus and I worried about not having enough time so I messed up.</p>

<p>I clearly had a different problem. Either that or you are looking at it wrong. It was 32 took both physics and chemistry. 1/4 of the students that took only chemistry take both physics and chemistry. Therefore there are 128 students that only take chemistry. Then it said something else that made it 180. There was no option less than 30 or so.</p>

<p>The options I think were in the 20s or something like that. The problem was, in a class there are 32 students. 14 take chemistry and 12 take physics. 10 take none. How many take physics and chemistry? </p>

<p>I read this problem over and over again so it would make sense but I can’t get it to do that or work out</p>
