International SAT October 2012: Y U NO discuss?

<p>What was the answer for the question with the parabola graph that asked which of the lines cross it at two points? There were I, II and III, which were like y= x+1, x=2 and
y=6. How to solve such a question? I tried graphing but didn’t have time and couldn’t fully understand how it was going but chose I and III (excluding x=2)</p>

<p>What was the experimental section for CR?</p>

<p>How did you guys answer the question with possible answers “codified rules” or “fundamental laws”? I need to understand the reasoning behind it… I had no idea which of them to choose.</p>

<p>ok, so, do you remember:</p>

<p>1) the wrong thing on the Audrey Hepburn sentence on WR? if it was the “Her 1953…” “but also…”, “career of” or E?</p>

<p>2) The text about the chinese girl, what was her impression about the French guy? which literary advice did she use when she described him? What do you remember about this text’s questions? I am not sure…</p>

<p>3) The WR question about the Board that needed to review a decision, we needed to choose the incorrect part of the sentence, it could be the “…yet again” or the “he or she”</p>

<p>4) The text about the bat’s sense and human’s vision… the guy talked about his impression when he sees a flamengo and about the female bird. There was a question about how the author felt. was it “striking” or “indiscrebable”?</p>

<p>5) the girl who was allied with the unconformists, was she “renegade” “philistine” or “rejected”…?</p>

<p>OK, thats it </p>

<p>Please answer me :slight_smile: :)</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>i chose the “codofied rules”</p>

<p>yes… for the math one… I an III is correct… just graph
even i was not sure for that one… i had something else… i can’t remember… i believe it was C, though</p>

<p>2) The text about the chinese girl, what was her impression about the French guy? which literary advice did she use when she described him? What do you remember about this text’s questions? I am not sure…</p>

<p>I chose metaphor but I think it is comparison.</p>

<p>4) The text about the bat’s sense and human’s vision… the guy talked about his impression when he sees a flamengo and about the female bird. There was a question about how the author felt. was it “striking” or “indiscrebable”?</p>

<p>Striking</p>

<p>French guy impression: analogy, wasn’t it? She compared sth (her perception of sth?) to the French guy. Comparison = Analogy
WR Question: he or she was incorrect, that is, the correct answer. ;D The previous part said something about a group of people; don’t remember what exactly. So it should be THEY and not he or she. A very typical SAT question. If we’re talking about the same question, that is.
Flamengo: strinking.
The unconformist was renegarde.</p>

<p>What about the tricky sentence completition words? Below or above the baleful/trepidation one was another very tricky question with nasty words.</p>

<p>“codified rules”? which question was that?</p>

<p>French guy was contrast (meaty hands, delicate flower)
I said she thought of him because of his “exemplary skill”</p>

<p>Audrey Hepburn, I went with “career of”.</p>

<p>Gudukhanna, I said it wasn’t I, just III, because x=2 would only have one intersection with the graph and y= would only have one (6 was the graphs minimum), and the answer required two intersections.</p>

<p>Some random answers I had as well:</p>

<p>h+100
7^1600 was 1
24pi
9.75
3sqrt2
1/2^y
81
“none”
9841 (the 4 different, square or cubes, decreasing, digits)
striking</p>

<p>sequester
baleful
Renegade</p>

<p>I didn’t go for codified rules, I went for fundemental laws or something. (best meaning of the word “principles”)</p>

<p>I second “fundamental laws”
About the French guy: contrast fits to the French guy’s art. But wasn’t the question sth like Why does the author mention the French guy. There was a comparison between the Asian’s perception of sth and the French man’s art. So, comparison would be better, I think. Not sure, though. Can someone find the passage?</p>

<p>What did you guys put for the question about the career of the swing dancer? I went for “spanning multiple eras” because he came back, but only because the other answers all seemed wrong.</p>

<p>^I put multiple eras too. He started in the 1920s and there was another decade reference before his comeback.</p>

<p>About the French guy: contrast fits to the French guy’s art. But wasn’t the question sth like Why does the author mention the French guy. There was a comparison between the Asian’s perception of sth and the French man’s art. So, comparison would be better, I think. Not sure, though. Can someone find the passage?</p>

<p>What about the subtitle for book from the bats passage?</p>

<p>^
My worry for that question was that it mentioned that he stopped when his era came to an end and the rock era started.</p>

<p>No it was “What literary bla bla does the author use?” and he used a contrast “his meaty hands and the delicate flower” I’m pretty sure of that one.</p>

<p>for the subtitle question: “transcending the human perception” or something.</p>

<p>^Damn. I thought about that one pretty long and I came up with analogy. :frowning: Comparison seemed to obvious blahblah…
MVM, moar answers:
miscellany
posthumously
teacher/student for the relationship question
eclectic
something…monetary
confound? <–was that even a choice?
soemthing…abashed
languorous
childish
similarity/incongruous.
The scientists would be offended by what? - that birds use earth magnetic sth
dazzling
color of feathers
humans can see effortlessly
overblown (X would characterize Y as…)
Disbelief and Suspicion (how would the Asian react when her teacher tells her that she is talented or sth like that)
tinge = cast for the flower’s shadow?</p>

<p>I have every single one of those too :D.</p>

<p>Wasn’t answer for the swingdance is that he had various of dances? In the middle of short passage, it describes how he expressed other moves as well. I thought multiple eras wasnt mentioned.</p>

<p>And what was the one with collection of various biographies on SC? I chose memoir but I know Im wrong. </p>

<p>For atheltic scholorship passages, both passages were in agreement right? (one question about that), and author of P1 mentioned Dream Team to note something about Amatuerism. ( I think)</p>

<p>And for Chinese passage, he was talented but inconfident? I assume?</p>

<p>^Excellent!
And some more:
the college athletes passages: one of the authors wanted to make a point about amateurism.
studious vs spontaneous (more likely) or deliberate vs. leisurely</p>

<p>I second talented but inconfident.</p>

<p>And some info about the curve of the nov 2010 US SAT:
-2 in CR was 800 (no omitted)
-2 in M was 750 (no omitted)
-2 in W was 79 in multiple choice (no omitted) </p>

<p>CR: 760 (4 wrong, none omitted)
M: 780 (1 wrong, none omitted)</p>

<p>CR(770) -3
CR: -5, 740
W: MC 74 (2 wrong, none omitted) 10 essay; came out to be 760</p>

<p>It didn’t say anything about multiple types of dances, but it did say he was always innovative. I really don’t know about that one.</p>

<p>The various biographies was the miscellany answer.
I said that the critic and ex-sporter were in agreement about treating college sport as work.
I had the same as you for the dream team and talented but inconfident ones.</p>

<p>Just to add more,</p>

<p>The scientist in conference was incensed. (Im pretty sure about that)
but following question was why did author mention that. ( I can’t remember what I put, anyone?)</p>

<p>For Blues one, the teacher understood child’s preference of music I think? and Beethoven music was boisterous?</p>

<p>I said the scientist was uncomprehending (or something similar)
The next question was to account for a certain reaction.
the music was expressive.
Also, the author in the the college sport passage would have said that passage 2 author’s idea of athletes being there for education first would be “appealing but ludicrous”</p>

<p>In the writing section, question 28 was something like “Even those who knew him best had to admit that it was disgusting how he gored himself on the buffet. No error”</p>

<p>Anyone else go for D. Gored? I think it was a diction error, where it should have been “gorged”. (or did I just misread it?)</p>

<p>I think one of the other vocab. questions was “Neutral…Biased” or something?</p>
