SAT May International Discussion

<p>@mousemat</p>

<p>thank you!! how about the encyclopedia passage? when the author lists about the topics in the encyclopedia is it to indicate the wide array of topics in the book?? i did rly bad on my reading…</p>

<p>I dont remember that one but I’m not a consistent 800 so you should probably ask someone else.</p>

<p>In the Chinese girl question, why is it not “genuinely indifferent” instead of “motivation for her mother’s being forthcoming”?</p>

<p>I think those two were answers to two different questions…</p>

<p>How did the Chinese girl question go like?</p>

<p>Was it pristine…deterred OR inaccessible…thwarted ??? I chose the latter, because nothing suggested the Amazon was pristine; all they said was the soil couldn’t be used for agriculture and something else…</p>

<p>Guys, is the one with the answer 18 for the trapezoid the experimental one??? Please be it!!!</p>

<p>@ccuser It wasn’t because it was a grid-in</p>

<p>:S, :S…all hope’s gone now.</p>

<p>Was it close-knit or nimble-witted??? I probably over-thought this one. The 2007 thread agree that it was “close-knit”, but I did “nimble-witted” because the author spoke about how “ignorant” they are, and if they let her into their clique, she wouldn’t label them as close-knitted. I’m quite sure I’m wrong; collegeboard sucks.</p>

<p>Yeah it wasn’t the experimental.
Nimble-witted isn’t dumb-witted so I put close-knit, due to the fact that they are so familiar with each other.
Skimming through the 2007 June sat thread makes me feel sad :frowning: chances of getting 2300 are getting smaller… Wasn’t awake during section 2 which was a fricken CR section.</p>

<p>EDIT: Heres the link to the 2007 June curve

hopefully this time round it will stay roughly the same or, I’m probably just being too optimistic, be more lenient</p>

<p>@jabbawockie
it is not genuinely different
@atheena
you are right about to state a wide range of topics</p>

<p>So what do you guys think -2 on the Maths and 3 wrong on the CR will be?</p>

<p>Thank you Shawki! Hopefully 700+</p>

<p>I think the math curve was like this 800-780-750-730-720-700</p>

<p>Damn 750 :frowning: Might retake in November. I made a ridiculously stupid mistake for the trapezoid one and put 360/20= 12. Couldn’t go to sleep last night thinking about that.
Thanks Shawki,
How do you know all of this out of interest?</p>

<p>I solved this test before it was October 2008 so I got it on papers couldn’t believe myself yesterday when I found it even though I got the trapezoid one wrong</p>

<p>@Sazzabazza i did the same thing :/</p>

<p>Oh wow, so was it just the Maths section or the whole paper?</p>

<p>Just the math</p>
