<p>Has the embargo been lifted for the Sunday Test? I want to start figuring out what problems I missed. </p>
<p>I know I had a math experimental, but cannot tell which one it was. I had math both as section seven (25 minutes) and eight (20 minutes), so does that mean section seven was experimental?</p>
<p>I do not remember taking any practice tests with two of the same sections in a row.</p>
<p>You should of had two 25 minute math sections and one 20 minute math section.
Did you have three 25 minute math sections or two 20 minute math sections?</p>
<p>I had three 25 minute math sections. I think my test looked like this:</p>
<p>1:Writing (Essay)
2:CR
3:Math (Grid in)
4:Writing
5:Math
6:CR
7:Math
8:Math (20 minute)
9:CR (20 minute)
10:Writing (10 Minute)</p>
<p>I thought the last questions in section 7 were really hard, but section 5 had questions that I thought looked kind of weird. So I am not sure which was experimental. :(</p>
<p>Can I post questions from each to get your opinion?</p>
<p>Either #5 or #7 was the experimental section.</p>
<p>What was the answer to #13 on section 10 writing.
It was between A and E.
was it “all of women”(A)
or “of all of whom being women”(E)
i put E…</p>
<p>I am so excited to find a fellow Sunday test taker. </p>
<p>I chose (A) for that one, although I thought it was more to the effect of, “all of them women.” </p>
<p>I did not think the answer was (E) because it was less succinct than (A). In my experiences during practice, “being” is generally a red flag.</p>
<p>According to Silverturtle’s grammar guide:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>By the way, which section did you have for experimental? </p>
<p>What did you get for the critical reading question about Maria wondering how city people find “balance?” I put that she feared she would lose confidence (c), but I was not sure if her actually fear was of having a crisis of faith (e).</p>
<p>Math was my experimental and it was yours as well. There is only one universal sunday test
And the Maria question was(A).It was about her loosing confidence.
I can’t believe I missed that writing AHHHh. I got a 760 last time I guess I’ll live with it.
Btw “amnc11”, how have you tested before on the SAT?</p>
<p>I am a junior, so this was my first official SAT I. I am hoping to score somewhere in the low-to-mid 2300s, which I think is reasonably possible if the really hard math section turns out to have been experimental.</p>
<p>In practice I have been achieving scores in the high 2200s to low 2300s, but I tend to work better under pressure, and I might have overdosed on caffeine before the test.</p>
<p>I felt very confident about the writing section, but one question bugged me:</p>
<p>The kindergartners studying Native American crafts visited the museum, viewing the exhibit on… I was sure the word “viewing” did not match up with the sentence, but I could not put my finger on what was technically wrong with the section (I marked viewing). Do you remember this question?</p>
<p>In the critical reading section, I thought the words were relatively easy, but I was not sure about this question (in addition to the maria one):</p>
<p>Fergusen’s book was disposed to _______ (sophistry/platitudes), it shared overly simplified observations of war as bad and compassion as good.</p>
<p>I chose platitudes because obvious observations did seemed more consistent with the banality of platitudes than with the nuance involved that lies in sophistry.</p>
<p>In the section 7 (one of the last two problems), how did you find the point that was on a line with the same slope as y intercept. I think I must have misread the question, because in retrospect what I remember is not making much sense. I just remember marking (B) for that one. I think (B) was (1,0).</p>
<p>What did you think of the essay question. I thought it was really easy (do short term solutions have any merit), but one of my friends thought it was really hard. I BSed three examples for it, and used up all the room.</p>
<p>For the writing question I also put viewing as incorrect.
For reading it was Platitude, sophistry is “trickiness”.
For math the answer is (D) not (B) (-1,0). Graph it and you will see that all lines that cross the Y axis at a point equal to their slope pass through that point.
Essay was easy. I got a 12 on the last one, I think I did it again. Every time I write it, It’s B.S.</p>
<p>What were your reading passages about? </p>
<p>Platitudes was the correct answer.</p>
<p>I don’t remember every passage off hand, but here is a start:</p>
<p>1) A girl is moving to the city, and will miss living near the ocean</p>
<p>2) An author discusses how television equalizes all viewers, while writing discriminates based on comprehension and literary ability</p>
<p>3) Two authors’ feelings about walking</p>
<p>Was hubris one of your answers? And on the walking passage was the tone contrary?</p>
<p>On the girl and ocean passage that was the one about Maria,right? Did u get irreplaceable?</p>
<p>COMPILATION:</p>
<p>SC:
hubris
seminal
intransigent
given to…platitude
antithetical…adulatory
embezzlement question: complicity in
maya angelou: versatile
an island!
calm guy=measured</p>
<p>Passages:</p>
<p>-rainy day reading: author used words playfully
-author valued reading more than her sisters did
-tone of walking passage: contrary</p>
<p>-characterization of Maria: extremely naive
-The primary focus of the passage -Changed perception
-what does it mean by ocean-She sees herself losing something that is irrreplaceable
-why does Maria mention the times- to articulate a meaningful point across
-Tsunagi’s tone when she talks to maria-indigant rebuke
-maria feels something for Tsunagi-she finally understands tsunagi
-previous thought of tsunagi: never exprienced loss.
-losing smth and gaining smth is central for exchange/change
-tsunagi has vulnerability
-honest=frank</p>
<p>-mantle=appearance
-special techiniques of forger are attributes
-historian had “admiration and disdain” for forger
-historian was detective
-forger had great ability and productivity
-other forgers were caught for following the masterpieces too closely</p>
<p>-fifth, seventh, and ninth grade ==> different experience
-hard to deny TV to children
-“literature attitude”=the ability to think critically about what you read/skepticism
-countering the author’s point: skills needed to understand programs geared towards children are different from the skills needed for adult
-barrier between children and adult: demarcation between readers who can think critically</p>
<p>-environmentalist activism motivated by anger
-first environmental passage "accepting a</p>
<p>Were Naive and innovative SC answers?</p>
<p>for the small walking passage was it interconnectedness or social harmony. I did social harmony then changed it because it said all the pieces come together to make a chord so it seems that they are all interconnected.</p>
<p>I remember Tsugami thinking Maria was naive, which is probably what you are referring to dark knight.</p>
<p>Mianahrs, your answer choices appear consistent with my own. I hope that you get an 800 in verbal, so I do too. :)</p>
<p>I chose interconnectedness for the walking passage for similar reasons. I also did not see any indication that the harmony and interconnectedness in the passage was related to anything social.</p>
<p>More questions from the test:</p>
<p>-there is no ABCs for watching teleision–> something about not having hierarchies for learning to watch tv
-most like a person wearing two hats –>congressman passes law to protect forests
-the cube in he math section, which would be the top if 4 was the bottom–> side 2
<p>I got all of those for math except for the two hat ones I put the one with biologists</p>
<p>Yea, same for me.
It is a congresspersons duty to pass legislation. That isn’t considered “wearing 2 hats”. I also put the biologists answer.</p>
<p>anyone remember more math questions</p>
