Test Preparation SAT Preparation
41

<p>yep neutral and biased was right. </p>

<p>Hmmm I chose E for Gored one. but Im not 100% sure. </p>

<p>and one question about purpose of final paragraph. I put reiterate blah blah.</p>

<p>Dazzling was there for swingdancing</p>

<p>And what is the purpose of this passage for Chinese one? I put something with emergence of talent</p>

42

<p>I didn’t put reiterate but “shift the terms of discussion”.</p>

<p>I think I went for emergance too, but I can’t remember the other answers, so I’m not sure.</p>

43

<p>For the chinese one asking how she would have felt to her husband’s compliments
I put like</p>

<p>“surprised…but pleased…”
something like that…</p>

44

<p>Hey guys, do you remember a short passage question</p>

<p>and one of the answer choices was: “adds a humorous note to an otherwise serious discussion” </p>

<p>was this part of the dummy…?</p>

45

<p>@olaolaolaola
the answer to that sentence completion Q was MISCELLANY</p>

46

<p>What do you reckon the scales will be? I reckon CR will be not as high as they normally are. In one of those blue book tests (1st one), getting 4 incorrect would still get you an 800 and those passages were really hard :O. What’d you guys get for the math triangle one with the area ABC of 10? I got 80. Writing was ok, dunno which one is experimental though :P</p>

47

<p>If the curve is the same as the Nov 2010 test (same test, after all), then here it is:</p>

<p>65-67 - 800
64 - 790
63 - 770
62 - 750
61 - 740
60 - 720
59 - 710
58 - 700
57 - 690
56 - 680
55 - 670
54 - 660
53 - 650</p>

48

<p>hmmm not too bad :smiley: so far, I kinda know I got 3 wrong for sure, not sure about the french painter one. If thats wrong, then its 5 wrong :O. I doubt it, depends on others’ scores.</p>

50

<p>I think boundaries are going to be like the 1st blue book practice test (actually administered)</p>

51

<p>I’m 90% sure the french painter was personification</p>

52

<p>I think the use of the metaphor in the echolation passage wasn’t to “emphasize the differences between people and bats” but to “support an earlier claim” also I think it wasn’t “Enforcing two different approaches” but something about the “brothers have contrasting approaches”</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the last gridin in math whose answer was 120? and does anyone rememeber the very last writing question in section 14?</p>

53

<p>French painter was “meaty hands” contrasted with “frail beauty,” and I don’t think it’s safe to call “a flower’s frail beauty” “personification,” but I admit I’m not 100% certain.</p>

54

<p>(BTW the Chinese Calligrapher passage is here:

Under “Nude by Pan Yuliang”</p>

55

<p>I guess the last question was about vertebrae and flexibility of the neck, something like that.</p>

56

<p>Nah, it wasn’t, it was about something with tent and investigating or going outside</p>

57

<p>personification of the drawing (the french painter)</p>

58

<p>do you guys rmb the writing question in the last section about some ancient city with 2500 acres of land or smth?</p>

59

<p>that was not too hard. It was this park. and the correct answer was quite obvious if u use elimination xD</p>

60
