^ The debate didn't have anything to do with the SAT. Neither debate was meaningful.

I don't really understand, then. Within the limitations of the SAT, your guide should be impeccable. Moreover, I don't understand why the critics themselves make their own guides, if the critics feel discontent, and post their own interpretations in CC.

^ I suspect that antonioray was sincerely interested in discussing that grammatical issue, and kingsize was likely attempting to establish his interesting but probably feigned personality.  | |

I have no idea what kind of debate is or isn't going on right now, but I have a question....
Based on your experience, did you find the PSAT to be a good predictor of SAT scores? Also, if you took them more than once, did your score rise from one year to the next?

| What do you mean? Are you writing an SAT Subject Tests study guide on top of your own SAT guide?

For me, no.
But I practiced more for the SAT and it brought back fruitful results.

My specialties are the subject tests.
I took way more than a college requires, and I aced most of them (except for one) so I think my guide can be useful.

| They correlate very well on average, but there are many exceptions, especially for those who prepare effectively between the PSAT and SAT. Your scores on official SAT practice tests are better indicators. Quote: |

| No, you are misremembering. I don't recall ever discussing acceptance rates either.

The latter is banking on an awesome interview. Nonetheless, we would say that Boogle is in a better position and has a better chance of getting the job. | Boogle has a 4.5. My apologies.

^ But it's not a GPA.
In any case, let's stop discussing irrelevant things now.

Sorry, silverturtle, I am not here to be disputatious; I love having debates.
I wanted to battle mifune but he is currently on a CC Hiatus.

Hey silverturtle, is this sentence grammatically correct?
--He felt that he was faced with too many hurdles.

| I, too, am never hesitant to engage in debate about things that matter, as I'm sure many CC'ers are aware. But debating for the sake of it and slinging around logical fallacy accusations serves no good purpose. Quote: |

| If you are an anti-evolution theist, I'm sure that you will get a very exciting debate in the HSL forum when mifune returns.
