November 2008 SAT Discussion for International Students

<p>both passages thought about Internet investors:
I chose they are both greedy</p>

<p>IN P1 it said they are greedy
IN p2 it said they all want to be multimillionaire</p>

<p>BUT another answer is it is "uncommon "for they to loose money.
or it’s “not uncommon”</p>

<p>it is not uncommon -> it 's uncommon for them to lose their investment. i chose that one, is it right?
trunk refers to her unsettled lifestyle, she moved often
real author->real means actual?
a mother seeing her children chasing 1 chicken -> a ri… moment?</p>

<p>It’s time to consolidate the answers for CR.</p>

<p>I think I may have omitted the question about Internet investors…
but I’m pretty sure that the mother seeing her children is a riotous moment and that the trunk represents her unsettled lifestyle.</p>

<p>actually I think what the passage says is that it is common for investors to lose money.
So the choice “uncommon” does not correspond.</p>

<p>1 with prolifc- immense?</p>

<p>I totally agree with you</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Actually I don’t think experimental has anything to do with difficulty… plus difficulty is subjective. I personally had one test where I had back to back math… turned out neither were experimental.</p>

<p>You never know.</p>

<p>I hope section 2 is experimental…i totally had to think hard to spot those flaws!</p>

<p>Hey what about the SC q that goes sth like this:
A sculptor creates his works on a ____ scale; he works are truly immense.
(a) monumental
(c) prolific</p>

<p>i’ve got 19 right, i need to have over 34 right to get more than 490 last time in the october test :frowning: it was terrible
anyone remember any in the CR part? help :(</p>

<p>There was another CR Q with something like “circus and ring” in the journalist’s passage…any ideas on wht the answer might have been </p>

<p>I inserted monumental in the SC question.</p>

<p>About the governess’s trunk
is it “unsettled lifestyle” or “transitory”</p>

<p>i chose prolific, monumental means magnicent, great while immense means a lot->prolife is right???</p>

<p>@ I<em>dont</em>know: It was monumental. Prolific means making many sculptures, and monumental means making big sculptures.</p>

<p>It’s monumental and it’s unsettled.</p>

<p>oopes:( poor me , i chose prolific and unsettled
what circus and ring?
more hints please? i dont even remember it</p>

<p>Monumental: 1. Of, resembling, or serving as a monument.
2. Impressively large, sturdy, and enduring.
3. Of outstanding significance: Einstein’s monumental contributions to physics.
4. Astounding: monumental cowardice; monumental talent.</p>

<p>Prolific:

  1. Producing offspring or fruit in great abundance; fertile.
  2. Producing abundant works or results: a prolific artist. See synonyms at fertile.</p>

<p>You be the better judge! My answer: monumental hands down :)</p>

<p>Circus and rings…I think it was that there was “stimulation” in the house!</p>

<p>There was another CR Q with something like “circus and ring” in the journalist’s passage…any ideas on wht the answer might have been</p>

<p>I inserted monumental in the SC question.</p>
