<p>True. :/</p>
<p>Ah, whatever.
I already sent the e-mail xP</p>
<p>I asked my mom (who doesn’t love his/her mommy?) and she agrees with you, random747.</p>
<p>Hey I have a general question about the nature of sat questions. For the one about the ceramics, it is my understanding that everyone picked “to be” as the best way to change the sentence. I picked “worthy of consideration” because I thought that “to be” changed the meaning of the sentence. Is the changing of the meaning of a sentence something that the collegeboard actually looks at?</p>
<p>
Yes…</p>
<p>but “to be” didn’t change the meaning of the sentence.</p>
<p>Do you think I should send another e-mail saying that my question was answered, or is that just stupid xP</p>
<p>If my memory does not fail me… in the ceramics question, authorities already were in the state of considering.</p>
<p>Authorities considered X’s ceramics ____ …</p>
<p>To say they were worthy of consideration would be redundant.</p>
<p>^yeah that makes since…</p>
<p>What do you guys think I’ll get if i got 1 grid-in wrong in math and everything else right? How will this score differ in relation to getting only 1 MC wrong instead of 1 grid-in?</p>
<p>i think 1 grid in wrong and one mc wrong will be the same score, like 76-77</p>
<p>The one about the ceramics was definitely “to be.” Also, I don’t think this has come up yet, but does anyone remember the first question about the scientist lady where it asked what would be her ideal experiment or theory or something? I remember putting something about being understandable to laypersons…but nothing seemed very correct.</p>
<p>HOw about 1 grid-in and 1 MC?</p>
<p>They were already in the state of considering? Wow I completely missed that. Do you guys think that 2 wrong CR, 1 mc worng 1 grid in wrong math, and 3-4 wrong writing can get national merit? Btw I am CT so it’s 217 if im not mistaken.</p>
<p>Oh for the first scientist question it was definitely “sound basis for further research”. The sound basis pretty much made the answer obvious.</p>
<p>yeah i put sound basis for further research also</p>
<p>Oh what did people put on the one about the guy attending to his business? I put wait upon, but in retrospect look after makes perfect sense too. I looked up what both mean, and they both sort of make sense.</p>
<p>aghh i remember that question and i was definitely between look after and wait upon but i think i ended up going with wait upon</p>
<p>yeah agree with random on scientist question</p>
<p>I put look after, but with only after hesitating. The problem with the PSAT (and the SAT, for that matter) is that it’s very literal! It makes sense to wait upon business because you hear it in literature. Same thing with care for (was that one of the choices?).</p>
<p>“Oh what did people put on the one about the guy attending to his business? I put wait upon, but in retrospect look after makes perfect sense too. I looked up what both mean, and they both sort of make sense.”</p>
<p>Can you remind me of this question?</p>
<p>(I’m sorta making this up)</p>
<p>It was the one where it was like, the businessman always thought of business. When asked to do something, he said “I have business to attend to”.</p>
