International SAT October 2012: Y U NO discuss?

<p>wait macsydney? literature critique? is that the one about the museum? the villa pompeii/??</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the Maths answer 1/6… grid-in question</p>

<p>is that the one iwth the cube side?</p>

<p>what is the chance of a cube face not being shown in either cube?</p>

<p>Yeah, it is</p>

<p>the question 29 was exactly
“that the research would be funded entirely by a single company and that the income(not so sure about income part) of the company would be affected severely by the result was not indicated in the interview with the researchers and the members of the research.”</p>

<p>shouldn’t the answer be “will be affected,” which was c, because the result hasn’t come out wet and would be is in past tense so it needs to be converted to present tense. also because will be would indicate future tense which is correct. although would be sounds appealing, will be should be the right answer… right?</p>

<p>1.—>
In the dancing passage , there was a question about what author thought about the dancer’s style? options were dazzling,predictable etc
Everybody is saying dazzling why can’t we say predictable because the passage starts like if you have see girl jumping blah blah you have seen one of the most astonishing swing dance. Isn’t he predicting from the moves of the dance??
2.—>
In the Echolocation passage ,I have 3 questions.
1.What would be the suitable subtitle for the passage?I chose the one with Bats it was after transcending human blah blah .Perhaps it was option D.
2.In the last question about vision , I chose something about animal seeing properly.I think that option was E.
3.There was a question what was the attitude of the scientist who grabbed the collar of another scientist in the bats passage.Options were uncomprehended ,unperturbed ,prying ,incessly something and one more.I chose prying.Is it right or wrong.
3—>
In the Painter passage.I have 2 questions
1.Why did the painter found easy to paint over the other art?because she found it easy to draw correct again by tearing page
2.What can’t be that french artist with meaty hands simply be metaphor rather than personification,contrast or something else?
I will ask more queries if I recall more.Thanks for your answers.</p>

<p>81 question, anyone?</p>

<p>81 was an answer. Can’t remember the question though. I think it was something like the max value of an equation.</p>

<p>do you remember if it were a grid in or an MCQ?</p>

<p>How the heck did you guys remember the reading passage, all i know is the test center i went is the WORST of all, this motherf***** (sorry, i was reallllly mad even thought of killing him or throw a rubber at his head or something) he kept COUGHING AS IF HE IS GOING TO DIE and the invigilator does NOTHING he gave him a throat soothing candy too, i don’t know what to do can only keep it in. It was 10 seconds then cough cough 10 seconds cough cough literally. I COULD’NT CONCENTRATE. Test center number 71112 , KIS International school, Bangkok Thailand, room no. 320 F****!!!</p>

<p>Also test invigilator from other room kept coming inside to say something atleast 3 times. What should i do? email CB? I have Nov exam there too.</p>

<p>Well anyways i could do almost math question except 2 dammit.</p>

<p>@User22: It was an MCQ.</p>

<p>Sorry guys but I think that “confound” was the right answer.
The sentence needed a word that means “weaken” or “disprove”
confound seems to fit in pretty well here, since confound’s 2nd definition means:
to prove (a theory, expectation, or prediction) wrong : the rise in prices confounded expectations.
^ New Oxford American Dictionary from my mac lol</p>

<p>although i chose either “expostulate” or misread “extrapolate” as expostulate and chose that. I thought expostulate was similar to confound “weaken/disprove” becoz it means express disagreement, but “confound” seems to fit better</p>

<p>corrinder94
for the global warming question with the answer choices “overblown” and “reliable”
which one did you pick?</p>

<p>also, for the question with the french painter. personification, or contrast?</p>

<p>@miasnmia</p>

<p>I chose “overblown” because although they both agree that global warming needs to be solved, they had different ideas in the approach (which was mentioned really subtly lol)</p>

<p>well i chose reliable lol
i think passage one only really derails from the purpose of passage 2 after the first paragraph.</p>

<p>I agree with Maxyend that it is exemplary skill because there was no hint of painstaiking attitude. The impression is that French painter drew easily so there is nothing painstaking about that
contrast (meaty with frail)
astonishing=dazzling
confound is definitely the answer; as corrinder94 wrote the research was supposed to be “weakened” or smth by the word. Confound does that.</p>

<p>it wasn’t expostulate, it was extrapolate</p>

<p>@aimingat750 are you sure it was extrapolate???</p>

<p>damn, i think i made a lot of mistakes, will probably need to retake as my last…</p>

<p>@aimingat750</p>

<p>i dont see where in the passage that exists an impression of the painter drawing with ease. The hint is in assurance. Painstaking also means careful and thorough. there is little evidence to say that it is “exemplary”. that takes it way too far. </p>

<p>as for the meaty frail question, i said personification although now im doubting my choice. i thought “the rain patter lulled Yuliang into a dreamy daze” was personification. the question seemed to focus on that?</p>

<p>I chose analogy because they were focusing on her wanting to be able to paint like the french painter since she was admiring him, and then after she was thinking about the painter she suddenly had the urge to paint in the same way as him.</p>

<p>Does anyone rmb the exact question? was it just “which literary device is used in lines …” or was it more specific?</p>

<p>@miasanmia i dont think personification fits very well :confused: because personification is attributing human-like characteristics to non-human things, so the fact that the rain lulled (cause to be sleepy or calm) her isn’t really personifying, since any object can be said to soothe or calm someone without necessariliy being giving human qualities (e.g. tv can lull you). idk thats what i thought</p>
