October 18 PSAT Discussion

<p>there’s a comprehensive score report online on CB … you can look at every question and it shows your breakdown</p>

<p>i know you get a score report in school with your answers versus the right answers, but idk if you get back the actual PSAT</p>

<p>Again, I don’t really know. I guess I would need to read the passage again to see what everyone’s talking about.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember how the question was worded?</p>

<p>so im browsing…what is this about an obituary? i sure as hell dont remember anythng about that</p>

<p>and my school gives us back the actual test as well as our score report</p>

<p>How about that random question looking at the black rights trader giving and taking loans? I said it showed he had periodic instability.</p>

<p>The passage wasn’t about his instability–rather, it was about his success as a businessman.</p>

<p>I think I remember that question but I don’t remember my answer… I think something like “it showed his importance to the community”? Because lots of people came to him to borrow/lend money and make trades?</p>

<p>I put that it showed his success in the White Community or something like that. I forget.</p>

<p>EDIT: Oh, I got what highopes got. I need to eat more fish to increase the capacity my memory.</p>

<p>yeah word…did this passage have something about an obituary?</p>

<p>Yeah, I remember my SAT book saying only look at the line that they advise you to look at so if all you know is that he takes loans as well as he gives them, then it isn’t saying anything about his contributions…it is merely saying that he has ups and downs in business allowing him to give money at times, and take money at other times.</p>

<p>What were the choices for the elusiveness?</p>

<p>I think it was the third paragraph that mentioned the obituary. The question involving it said “What does ‘like this’ in lines … mean?” or something like it.</p>

<p>thats wierd…they just tell you the line so you know where to look?</p>

<p>The choice I remember for the elusiveness was that modern historians still aren’t able to uncover things about his business relations, which I am fairly confident about.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the second question about the experimental research passage?</p>

<p>I think the second question was “sound basis for research.”</p>

<p>Did the elusiveness answer have the words “business success” in it?</p>

<p>It could have had business success… I can’t remember. </p>

<p>I thought that the strong basis for further research was first question?</p>

<p>Sorry! Sound basis was the first. I think the validate own work was the second.</p>

<p>what did you guys put for the purpose of the passage with the punctuation</p>

<p>It had nothing to do with his instability, and that line wasn’t included to make any kind of point about it - the whole thing talked about how GOOD he was at businesses deals, how he could afford to pay his employees the highest amount, etc.</p>

<p>I concur with sound basis and validate your own work.</p>

<p>I remember the punctuation passage answer was really general/obvious… and the other question on that passage was “continuous analogy”</p>

<p>Oh yeah! Canned dice you are right- that is the second question. Thank God I got one of the two…</p>

<p>The purpose of the one with punctuation was to show the uses of different punctuation. I remember LOL’ing at the answer : importance of both traffic signals and punctuation</p>
