**************January Official SAT Thread**************

<p>Well, I don’t think “his” was even a choice. You’re probably talking about “herself”. In the case of this sentence, the pronoun acts as an amplifier and actually does not contribute any ambiguity due to implied gender (which wasn’t even crucial info). You might be right, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that sentence.</p>

<p>when we get our scores on 2/15 will we find out our essay score or just our score out of 800</p>

<p>^ It’s not ambiguous since the accountant is female and “his” can only be the potter’s.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the one about the Great Gatsby one on writing section. it talked about how Nick recently arrived to NY from the midwest</p>

<p>it was an identifying error in the writing section.</p>

<p>i think that was part of the experimental writing sec.</p>

<p>I think “arrived to New York” was wrong (or maybe only “arrived to” was underlined). It’s an idiom error… should be “arrived in”.</p>

<p>It wasn’t experimental writing, wendyling… I had it and I had an experimental reading for sure.</p>

<p>it couldn’t have been, i only had one writing section. the question was talking had something about how nick recently came to NY. I think who recently arrived was underlined and i remember picking that</p>

<p>do u guys remember a question in the reading section of the writing part asking to correct a sentence regarding how jane austen would feel if she seen her books made into movie. do u guys remember picking jane, too, would have…</p>

<p>^Yeah, I remember picking “Jane Austen, too, would have recognized her characters…” or something along those lines.</p>

<p>on the same area, what did u put for the question about purists.
the choices were like this
…, who were…
…; they were…
sorry i don’t remember much, hope this’ll help identify the question</p>

<p>any1…(10char)</p>

<p>chinnu - I put the choice with the semicolon because the choice with the comma (in my opinion) required a conjunction. That was my reasoning.</p>

<p>oh i picked the one with the comma. why do u say that one needed a comma</p>

<p>Anybody still talking about the question on the math section with the ven diagram and the intersection of y and z? I saw earlier a bunch of people put 10. I’m pretty sure the answer was 7 though because the 3 from the x+y+z are included in the 7. Can anybody confirm that? I don’t remember what the other numbers were but I remember adding up a bunch of stuff on the outside and having it equal the total number of x+y, y+z, and x+z overlaps…or something like that…</p>

<p>The answer is 10. It was the exact same question on the December 2005 SAT. In fact, most of the questions are the same!</p>

<p>chinnu_4, you need a semi-colon other wise it is two independent clauses connected by just a comma, which is a comma-splice error. :)</p>

<p>not posting anymore here until I get my scores… I am so nervous… I think I did more mistakes in math that I thought…
ok I need to know one thing…: u have 3 pair of pants, 3 hats, and 3 t-shirts… u combine them and u got 27 right?!..could anyone explain me why 6 !!!..</p>

<p>andriuxs - Because the question states that you have to have one of each color in the combination. That 27 includes outfits that don’t use every color.</p>
