October 18 PSAT Discussion

<p>Well if I include this one, that makes 2 on CR I’m iffy about, and one for sure wrong on writing, math is still looking good.</p>

<p>they talked about the brains response to mental stimuli but never how “strong” it was. It was simply talking about the wonderful things our mind can do so I think flexibility makes more sense because it talks about how easily the mind can make pictures out of fragments and that demonstrates flexibility no?</p>

<p>anyone know when scores come out?</p>

<p>come on now…</p>

<p>^December I think</p>

<p>do any of you guys remember the question for the “strength of response vs. flexibility” thing…I’m can’t remember it…</p>

<p>For whatever reason, I wasn’t even considering flexibility when I considered the answer choices, and I feel like I would have included it if it could’ve been right, you know? :stuck_out_tongue: The mind will turn to practically any other object, so I guess that shows flexibility, but I still feel like it also shows that the brain’s desire for complete shapes and stuff is so strong that it’ll take anything rather than a group of dots. Any support for that?</p>

<p>^ december</p>

<p>December sometime for scores. I’ll get my October ACT and November SAT scores before then… geez, and we won’t know about NMSF until like a year from now.</p>

<p>last years i felt was a lot easier…i did extremely well. guess these things have something to do with luck</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>By strength of response I’m guessing that you mean that how quickly your mind will transform the group of dots? But I think that involves a certain degree of inference which I notice that the SAT doesn’t like. It directly state tat mind can quickly transform a group of dots therefore wouldn’t it be flexibility…any other thoughts on this.</p>

<p>I think that “long since lost” is the answer but not because it should be “long lost since”. It is talking about the profession of scribe art, and so you can’t lose an art. “It should be long since forgotten”.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the original wording of the sentence, but if someone can remember the exact wording of the sentence, please post.</p>

<p>i agree, long since lost usually has a noun after lost…of course this depends on the wording</p>

<p>What was that question where we got 2 points, and one of them was the midpoint, and we needed two more points.</p>

<p>^that too makes sense.</p>

<p>Choklit,
I think it was A</p>

<p>the midpoint one was (2. -1) or something like that</p>

<p>i forget the points they gave us. anyone remember?</p>

<p>As much as you want to overthink it, I’m fairly sure long since lost is grammatically correct. The SAT doesn’t do things like changing lost to forgotten, that’s not really a grammatical error.</p>

<p>(0, -1) and (-2, -1). but im partly saying that b/c it would make my answer right</p>

<p>What was the one where you had to find the intersection of two perpendicular lines?</p>
