The Official PSAT For Saturday October 21, 2006

<p>same here kevster1001. that was the easiest passage on the test</p>

<p>do we have an established answer to the question about the hiking passage that asks the primary tone of both authors?</p>

<p>the one about the fda question </p>

<p>is it d</p>

<p>wrong verb tense because it says like until drugs are used
it should be drugs have been used</p>

<p>earlier, many said earnest and humorous. because the second passage was definitely not scholarly</p>

<p>i think most people think it's "humorous vs. earnest"...i put conversational vs scholarly though. i just didnt find the first passage funny =/</p>

<p>someone answer fda question</p>

<p>innocent boy, that was a identify error right. i picked d what u get for that question about humanism</p>

<p>yea the underlined part was drugs are in use right?</p>

<p>humanism? in writing?</p>

<p>the humanism question was about how man should live and it had aristotle in it, i think or some other famous greeks</p>

<p>There was one question that was about peregrines. Was the answer that one choice with the word that started with an "iti-"?</p>

<p>FDA question-- yeah, it should have been drugs have been used.</p>

<p>chinnu-- how was the 2nd hiker passage NOT scholarly?</p>

<p>For the hiker question, I really didn't see how the second passage was earnest.
I mean, if it were earnest, then the other passage had to be humorous. Like someone else said, I didn't find it humorous. Just conversational.</p>

<p>o it was looked upon </p>

<p>it should be looks upon</p>

<p>COMMON CONSENSUS: ONLY 2 Es in writing section</p>

<p>peregine falcons is itinerant</p>

<p>osme more vocab answers</p>

<p>courted
diatribe
euphemism
stopgap</p>

<p>short passages about monkeys</p>

<p>technical skills
termite</p>

<p>second passage about uncle</p>

<p>surly
disagreed with uncle advice</p>

<p>NO, the uncle was WRY.</p>

<p>And what were the two "Es" in writing? I only got one.</p>

<p>yeah for the hiker passage i put humorous and earnest.
overall the PSAT was okay. CR was kind-of hard just because it wasn't the most thrilling thing in the world and because i was sleepy/tired and was getting strange dizzyspells/headaches from time to time and i had to stop myself from dozing off. Math was alright, but i know that i didnt finish two questions in enoug time. Writing skills was unnaturally easy; i finished about 15 minutes early and fell asleep...ahaha.</p>

<p>psycho refresh on pergrine question. the humanism or renaissance question had a long dash in it and explained how man should live. and that part was underlined. i think i picked since it should of been in present tense</p>

<p>questions about hiker passage</p>

<p>extend
something about tools and ability to stop the last paragraph of passage 1
obviously humorous and earnest</p>

<p>questions about korea</p>

<p>one was something about self awareness it was bout the past last question
the 2nd to last question was about finding one's identity</p>

<p>agree?</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure that the "Let's do it!" answer was like "Blithe reaction to an arduous undertaking" or something...</p>

<p>I had the Natural World one, but changed it when I realized the author never really said he like nature...didn't know what blithe meant, but my hunch was correct.</p>

<p>Still kinda ****ed about the last math on the first section. I took one glance at it as the lady called time and scribbled down my best answer. Oh wells...:-p</p>

<p>Chinnu, I think you are right. I can't recall that question exactly, but I think it had a tense error.</p>

<p>thanks innocent, i put that</p>
