October 18 PSAT Discussion

<p>Fixed. >_></p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It was “inherent appeal” brain passage…</p>

<p>For the businessman passage, there was a question like what does “tend to” mean, or something like that.</p>

<p>I know what tend to means, but the choices they offered were so odd. Anyone remember their answer?</p>

<p>That, and what were the court orders used for?</p>

<p>^ I remember it was like, when they say “tend to business” that most closely means:</p>

<p>I remember two answers: wait upon, and look after.</p>

<p>Personally, I put look after, but people were arguing about it before. IMO wait upon makes no sense, but ehh to each his own.</p>

<p>And what court orders? I can’t remember anything anymore! Gimme a brain refresher or something… I can’t think of that q</p>

<p>Yeah, I put look after too.</p>

<p>In the passage it referred to court orders and examples of Forten loaning money to white businessmen, and I think it asked why the author mentioned them?</p>

<p>Was that the part about borrowing and lending money? If so, it showed his “importance to the community” or something, no?</p>

<p>Wait, what was the answer to the Easter Island one?</p>

<p>“inherent appeal” was the answer to a brain passage problem and the easter island one was wrong with the “having been toppled” i think</p>

<p>Nah, that was a different question. It’s one question that I’m really unsure of.</p>

<p>could someone please tell me which problem had an answer of 115?</p>

<p>i dont think 115 answers any question</p>

<p>a bunch of people at the beginning of the thread claimed that 115 was an answer to something…and I don’t know what question they were talking about…was it the parallel lines question?</p>

<p>I believe the answer of 115 was a geometry question dealing w/ lines. Pretty easy if you asked me… is there really a debate on the right answer?</p>

<p>I agree with cupnoodles.</p>

<p>I don’t think you guys are reading into the “psychological -> neurological” one right. The question referred to a specific transition: “on a deeper level” that appeared near the end of the first or second paragraph. To me, the question had nothing to do with the sky and constellations stuff that came after. The “on a deeper level” transition clearly linked two sentences: the first was discussing some sort of brain chemistry, and the second made a more general statement about the human desire to fill in these gaps. This is a transition from a neurological response to a psychological need.</p>

<p>I noticed that too, evanb, and that was another reason i picked the answer i did. =D</p>

<p>Did anyone else hate the fact that the PSAT included references to nonwhite culture?</p>

<p>does anyone know when the results are mailed (sophomore)?</p>

<p>“Did anyone else hate the fact that the PSAT included references to nonwhite culture?”
huh?</p>

<p>lol jk. haha</p>

<p>@252525 PSAT scores are usually sent to schools in December, not mailed. The school decides when to hand them out.</p>
