International SAT October 2012: Y U NO discuss?

<p>what do u reckon on the score ranges</p>

<p>i had both board games and pyramid for writing.
i think the curve for october is usually harsher, but Idk i hope there lenient on cr</p>

<p>yeh, it is h+100. you can see the pattern of this sequence.</p>

<p>dunt worry, theres always superscore xD</p>

<p>@offtounihahaha: “the one with the board games was the one everyone had. pyramids is the experimental”
you are right</p>

<p>how do you even know which one is the experimental one…</p>

<p>Hmm there seems to be a lot of dissent about some questions.
I’ll address only those.

  1. “striking – or dazzling?” Two different questions and both were correct answers in my opinion.</p>

<ol>
<li>

</p>

<p>I agree.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Contrast one: I had analogy here, because of: “The same feeling she’d had then…” That’s how understood the question. I’m probably wrong, though. :frowning:
Personification is attributing human characteristics to sth inanimate. Don’t see that here.</p></li>
<li><p>

Agree</p></li>
<li><p>

</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Yes. The way it was written, it meant that X’ album, not X, had recorded the album. :D</p>

<ol>
<li>To whomever asked about the Nov 2005 test:
It ain’t gonna help you. They had two tests that day, and we did not take the nov 2005 one.</li>
</ol>

<p>Any other tricky words? The question just below or above the trepidation one, maybe?</p>

<p>I got 4 crs.
The experimental is about “critics”. something about a woman likes to read literary comments or something.</p>

<p>experimental is whatever you had an extra section of. for me it was writing, but not sure which one…</p>

<p>For writing: Only the “board-game” one is real, the other is experimental.</p>

<p>@Jasoncheung
I only had one writing section because my experimental was CR… so the experimental writing was the one that i did not take.(pyramids) :D</p>

<p>@cleverpuppy
rightttt! I completely forgot about that section! To clarify, it was the passage about a women who was describing her attitude towards art/literary critiquing when she was younger. something about receiving validation from reading others critique a piece that supported her opinions.</p>

<p>^Did we have any questions from this passage so far? Would be nice to know for people that their errors don’t count.</p>

<p>wait guys</p>

<p>for one cr vocab question there was a word “confound” which you all say is the answer. I chose a different word but forgot it. anyone remember the other words?</p>

<p>I think the SC quesion No.12 should be demanding…scrupulous. quiescent makes no sense at all. since ‘‘alone’’ here doesnt mean quite. he just did his job alone.</p>

<p>hey is this guy right about all this? lets talk about his errors</p>

<p>for one “confound” is not right i think </p>

<p>and “exemplary skill” should be paintstaking attitude</p>

<p>^There was a contrast between her work life (demanding, challenging, fastidious = exacting and her private life or some hobby?: idle, quiet = quiescent.</p>

<p>@DuffMan1991
Sorry, i’m not quite sure about that. I don’t think anyone had any questions for the passages in that section. As for vocab/sentence completion…i have no idea</p>

<p>Also, for that section, there was a short passage about women inventors too, if i remember correctly</p>

<p>I think demanding is wrong because the question said ‘anything but _<em>__’ If it was ‘nothing but </em>’ demanding would be correct. Wasn’t the point that he was busy and there has to be an exhaustive preparation? So I chose ‘idle…exhaustive’</p>

<p>hey can someone help me out here. you all just ignoring my posts. seriously. come on.</p>
