Sat Reasoning June 06 - Post All Discussions HERE!

<p>nice me too-wow dancingbear we talked all night yesterday about SAt lol</p>

<p>hahah yes i noticed that i think we must have had similar tests</p>

<p>A number that isn't in Y cannot be in X- that was the right answer i think</p>

<p>Yeah, the answer was if it's not in Y, then it's not in X. You use the contrapositive for logic questions like that: if p then q is true, not q not p is also true.</p>

<p>A number that isn't in Y cannot be in X- that was the right answer i think</p>

<p>ok so basically you are assuming that x and y are equal. SO the opposite, yet still correct answer could be if a number is in y it is also in X. Its basically the same thing no?</p>

<p>i'm assuming that x has to be in y, but y can have additional numbers</p>

<p>i think the answer was C</p>

<p>for one of the questions i am confused. It was ont he number line and it was .004x-.003x or .04x-.03x.....I put 2000 but im not sure</p>

<p>yah the math seems okay yah - - the verbal - -i dunno really know - just do my best- - the cowboyz is a little bit hard but the others seemed okay, i guess the test arrangement is like this isn't it :</p>

<p>Essay - opinion - i use pride and prejudice, lyndon b johnson, Garrison and harriet betcher stowe, you use the road not taken (are u from australia?)
verbal - (the one with one long passages)
math
verbal
writing
math (this one should be experimental i guess)
math (grid in)
verbal
math
writing</p>

<p>any one remember hard question from math or writing ?
i guess this test was not very easy but not also as hard as it was in may</p>

<p>goodcolleges, it was .04-.03. it was 200. i thought it was .4-.3 at first and got 20, but then i checked my answer and realized it was .04 and .03.</p>

<p>for the weatherman passage, was it unqualified approval or tempered appreciation???</p>

<p>What about the Forten passage with the reason the author mentioned the massive census</p>

<p>damn i could have sworn it was .004 and .003</p>

<p>wait so does everyone agree that the answer to my question was Y only?</p>

<p>for the weatherman passage i put unqualified approval, but it was a guess between those two</p>

<p>for the comedian passage...</p>

<p>how would the author of passage one regard the opinions of the critics in passage 2?</p>

<p>what did you put.</p>

<p>im pretty sure it was complete agreement, because they both agreed that humor is based on the unexpected, and stand up comedians do not have that element.</p>

<p>What did people get for the number line grid-in?</p>

<p>i didnt put that because one author hated comics and the other didnt</p>

<p>Zpot:
I didn't have this question but assuming that you remember the question correctly and the question said:</p>

<p>"If it is in group X, it is in group Y." It then asked what other statement must be true?</p>

<p>Now the conditional = contrapositive and converse = inverse
the conditional is the original statement and the contrapositive is when you switch and negate the conditional. so the contrapositive is:
If it is not in group Y, it is not in group X</p>

<p>tim: i put complete agreement both the critics and author 1 were pretty harsh towards comedians</p>

<p>no, the question was how does the author of passage one regard the "Critics" in passage two.</p>

<p>it is not comparing the two authors.</p>

<p>do u guy remember for sentence completion whether if Recalcitrant was an answer? it was about someone being stubborn/hating everyone and crap.
i remember the word misanthropic being on the test too but i'm not sure if it was the answer to that one</p>

<p>i put mild cynicism</p>

<p>i think i put mild cynicism or sumthin like that</p>
