<p>Meadow:
So do you think that the “long since lost” is indeed correct… I remember alot of ppl were sayin it was wrong earlier.</p>
<p>i answered “no error” for the manuscripts question. “long since lost” was referring to the preceding phrase about something “300 years ago,” if my memory serves me correctly…</p>
<p>i’m surprised that people actually remember the questions so well. i didn’t start reading this thread until today, though, so perhaps that’s why i’m drawing a blank.</p>
<p>in 95% sure if it was “long since lost” it’s correct.</p>
<p>dang i was feeling pritty confident that it was wrong until now = /</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah I thought it was wrong because it sounded idiomatically wrong and the usage seemed incorrect. but if you click on the link on my link you’ll see examples of it used that way. Although it is so rare it seems unreasonable to test something like that on the PSAT :(</p>
<p>o well, i guess we’ll hav 2 wait until december to find out. Dang, i doubt i could even hit insanely low 209 mark that NE has for NMSF</p>
<p>are SATs usually like this in terms of ambiguity level on CR/writing?</p>
<p>…sooo what’s the general consensus on CR? easier curve than last year? i can’t remember if anyone on this thread has answered all the CR questions correctly.</p>
<p>what do you think the curve will be? i doubt it’s going to be 80/80/80 like in 2006, but i think it will be more generous than 80/78/75 in 2007.</p>
<p>i think some people said they got them all right…cholkitrain said that a few times, and I think highhopes said s/he might have</p>
<p>mind you, that’s what i vaguely, vaguely remember…so take it with a pinch of salt</p>
<p>i think its gonna be an easier curve than last year for sure- there was a ton of ambiguity…but thats just my opinion</p>
<p>also, what about the mexican american question?–> I really hope its no error…</p>
<p>Idk ive taken all the PSATs the CB has for sale and they were never quite this bad. Hmm so ya i agree if it said that art was long since lost, then tht sentence was prbly right, but if it was a style of art, then there is still hope = D.</p>
<p>good thing i live in Nebraska where the cutoff score is low (206)</p>
<p>lol i live in NE too, but i think its supposed 2 b like 209-210 range. not that different, but ya still…</p>
<p>For the massive census qs</p>
<p>Does anybody even remember the question in its entirety??</p>
<p>More importantly, why did they put massive census in quotes??</p>
<p>last year it was 206, so if i get around 210 i should be fine</p>
<p>o seriously, ok tht helps a little</p>
<p>what was the last question on the constellation passage one</p>
<p>i still maintain that the toss-up questions are:
- “massive census”
- “long since lost…”
- “many of whom/them were Mexican Americans.”
- sophisticated technology one… </p>
<p>any other toss-ups? what about the one that was comparing the two weatherman passage? I put not entirely accurate for that one. Is that right?</p>
<p>I think flexibility of mind/strength of response and
intuitive–>rational/ neurological –>psychological
wer toss-ups.</p>
<p>very true, meadow36</p>
<p>here are the toss-ups:–feel free to add more, if necessary 
- “massive census”
- “long since lost…”
- “many of whom/them were Mexican Americans.”
- sophisticated technology one…
- flexibility of mind/strength of response
- intuitive–> rational / neurological–> psychological</p>
<p>why did you all even think it was intuitive/rational in the first place?</p>
<p>do you guys remember the “like this” question in the businessman passage?-- that confused me to pieces</p>
<p>You know the question on the math section (a grid in) that was:</p>
<p>x > x^n > 0
Where n is a positive integer.</p>
<p>The answer was any number between 0 and 1, so like .5 would work right?</p>
<p>BUT the question itself is WRONG because 1 is a positive integer and:</p>
<p>.5 > .5^1 > 0 IS NOT TRUE</p>
<p>No number is greater than itself to the 1st power…</p>
<p>So, will that one be counted?</p>
