October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>i put suggesting</p>

<p>Can someone compile the answers any of the three sections so we can move on</p>

<p>I still think the answer to that question is cynical. That part of the passage showed that the dinosaurs were viewed by the people of that decade as being slow, useless, non-agile on their feet, having no purpose, and unattractive. It wasn’t an unflattering view but rather one that was prompted from cynicism. It was more than just “oh dinosaurs were gross and ugly that’s why we don’t like them.” You have to look at that as a whole and compare it to the way the people of the later decades viewed the dinos.</p>

<p>A compilation of answers would be good! </p>

<p>also, can someone explain why the one with the teacher asking the odd questions to yo’s dad is eccentricities? I thought that that piece of the passage served to describe his character, how he looked into his past to describe how he had always been a little out there, interested in different things and which later in the future translated to him keeping a lot of secrets inside. he was able to respond to things that a later declared insane person proposed. so i put vague recollections of the past, since i thought the whole teacher bit was entirely irrelevant</p>

<p>How will the curves be for this test? Now that I have an estimate of how many I got wrong I need to know if I should send these scores to schools or if I should move on and take the ACT.</p>

<p>I also thought it was vague recollections because he talked about how his daughter use to be like him in the past and so he gave us a glimpse of what he use to be like</p>

<p>@frostedcupcake11
trust me it’s a pattern that cynical is NEVER EVER the correct answer on any CR question that asks about a person’s tone towards something…</p>

<p>I am 100% sure it’s unflattering because he described how the dinos were all ugly and stuff but then he contrasted it with present idea on how they looked all strong and cool something along that line</p>

<p>I agree with unflattering. And it wasn’t vague recollections because there was nothing vague in the passage at all. It was about how his daughter asked him questions about his life and how he felt about giving them to her</p>

<p>but vague recollections was addressing the QUESTIONS part not the whole passage</p>

<p>How many no errors did you guys get and what did you guys get for the 1 about shopping malls in writing</p>

<p>Sent from my SPH-D710 using CC</p>

<p>Studios I’m sorry to say but you are clearly wrong. Maybe you didn’t get the point of the passage.</p>

<p>what was the answer for finding perimeter of the triangle which was surrounded by 3 triangles.</p>

<p>radi of each circles were 1,2 and 3 respectively !</p>

<p>^^ I’m glad you read the rest of the discussion so that you didn’t say anything unnecessary.</p>

<p>^ The answer was 12.</p>

<p>@anysky</p>

<p>33</p>

<p>are we talking about same one ?
i think I got 33 for other triangle problem.</p>

<p>I thought its something like 2+4+6 which is 12</p>

<p>wait errr–what question does the 165 minutes correspond to?</p>

<p>oh wait i think i’m thinking of the max perimeter one…</p>

<p>ugh i don’t remember what i got for the one with the circle though ._.</p>

<p>Hi guys! I wondering what you got for the math problem that gives you a line (its endpoints are (0,0) & (7,4) i believe) on the xy plane and says that the line is a side of a square (not shown on graph) and then asks you what the length of the diagonal of that square is.</p>

<p>165 minutes = when the cell phone plans equal the same amount (or whatever it was).</p>
