Test Preparation SAT Preparation
401

<p>Did anyone compile a list? So far what I have is:

  1. Whales had swum (not had swam)
  2. Chromosome – no error
  3. New York apples – no error
  4. So profoundly influenced
  5. Were they to be painted
  6. Agency - for
  7. Principle’s plan to rebuild during interview
  8. Delete solar energy sentence
  9. Candy/sugar alcohol/calories: “but do”
  10. Saturn’s rings – no error
  11. Paragraph correction (windmills): In addition vs. granted.
  12. Migrants – should be who not which</p>

<p>*** is the chromosome one, new york apples, agency, principle can someone remember the full sentence cughhhhh</p>

402

<p>Oh i remember on one of the sections the last question right before the passage was… Assuming the fact that… something children blah blah blah. I thought that Assuming the fact that was the error because “the fact that” is repetitive and can be deleted. Sorry if someone has already discussed this.</p>

403

<p>cookiemonster–which one is that?</p>

404

<p>@ cookiemonster
i don’t remember that question at all :stuck_out_tongue:
which experimental did you have?</p>

405

<p>@sat4lyfe:
The X chromosome one was something like:
The X chromosome was named “X” not because it looked like… something, not because of its resemblance to the letter X.</p>

<p>And the New York apples one was like:
75% of the apples in New York are imported from the West, even though New York produces more than enough apples to meet its needs.</p>

406

<p>just out of curiosity…how accurate (for many agreed answers were wrong) are these SAT discussion threads usually?
like for this year’s PSAT for example</p>

407

<p>“6. Agency - for
7. Principle’s plan to rebuild during interview”</p>

<p>The answer for number 6 had the independent clause start with “it”…I don’t see what this post is saying the answer is.</p>

<p>And for 7, “during the interview” should be in the the beginning to prevent ambiguity.</p>

408

<p>I remember for sure I had the windmill passage. If someone could tell me about the other possible passages (not just Irish/skyscraper) I would appreciate it</p>

409

<p>

</p>

<p>They’re usually pretty accurate, at least for those that many people agree on. However, some questions have provoked countless pages of heated debate, and in those cases it’s pretty hard to tell who’s right until the answers are released, lol</p>

410

<p>@ cookie</p>

<p>Grampa Dday
and of course Irish and Skyscaper lol</p>

411

<p>beaver one please</p>

<p>The beaver a north american rodent blah blah blah</p>

<p>this was so confusing</p>

<p>some of these fix sentences didnt have a semicolon so that was confusing</p>

<p>grrrrrrrrr</p>

412

<p>no what I mean can you elaborate please? It’s possible I had one of them but I just can’t remember b/c I don’t may much attention to the passages.</p>

413

<p>did anyone get an answer called</p>

<p>more than enough</p>

<p>or was that no error</p>

<p>more than enough?</p>

414

<p>what about the more than enough</p>

<p>what was the part of what sentence</p>

<p>and the beaver no one discussed the beaver it was confuseingwith comas and stuff</p>

415

<p>^The question about New York and apples, yes… I debated whether it should be no error or if “more than enough” should actually just be “enough.”</p>

<p>Can’t remember what I ended up putting down.</p>

416

<p>ohhh firetruck oh firetrcuk</p>

<p>ohhh firetruckkkkkkkkkkkk</p>

<p>ohhhhh firetruckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk<br>

<p>the saturns rings one is wrong because it said “composes of ice” instead of “comprises of ice”</p>
