<p>Like most people, I learn best by teaching others.</p>
<p>This thread will be devoted to teaching others certain SAT problems.</p>
<p>You can follow the following format…
Post the problem.
Talk (write) us through your thought process.
Answer the problem with support.
Then, look up the correct answer to see if you were right.
If you were wrong, go though the steps again to see why you were wrong.</p>
<p>It is important that you get your questions from either a website or book that provides the correct answer.
Also, this will be more beneficial to you if you answer a question that you are unsure of, so that your teaching will lead to you understanding it.</p>
<p>I will start off with a Sentence Completion:</p>

<p>First off, “positioned haphazardly” pops out at me. This tells me that the cathedrals were positioned randomly.
This information allows me to eliminate C, D, and E.</p>
<p>Now lets analyze A and B:
A states that “the situation (position) of the great cathedrals did not enter into the architects’ plans… a cathedral was positioned haphazardly (randomly) in incongruous (unfit) surroundings.”</p>
<p>B states that “the location of the great cathedrals did not enter into the arhitects’ plans… a cathedral was positioned haphazardly (randomly) in apt (fit) surroundings.”</p>
<p>After analyzing the remaining choices it is clear that the answer is A.</p>
<p>At first I was thrown off by the word “situation” because I was not thinking of situation as position. However, after looking through the other choices I was able to make that distinction of the intended meaning of the word.</p>

<p>If you are taking the December 6 test I highly recommend you “teaching others” problems that you are having a lot of trouble with on practice tests.</p>
<p>Also, in addition to sentence completion problems feel free to post math, reading and writing problems.</p>
