Regarding the perspective vs prospective, was that the last writing multiple choice (of the 4 errors or no error)? If so, what did the full sentence look like?? Someone pleaseeeeeee. Thanks
U Texas austin, Georgia tech, umd, umich, ucla, uc Berkeley
Thanks for all the suggestions guys!
Edit: I was looking into more schools that are instate. I am looking at Columbia and NYU. Stony would be my safety. Any thoughts?
Those are good. Can you afford NYU? RPI and Cornell are good choices.
@XCjunior2016 they offer FA and merit based scholarships. My cousin attends and has a merit based scholarship at Stern covering tuition.
Anyone with the perspective full sentence??? Was it the last one???
@jsweets17 It was Question #29 of writing, and the answer was A - perspective. If I’m not mistaken, 27,28 and 29 were all A
@XCjunior2016 Most likely not, but I will still apply. I’m going to check out RPI, but Stony looks pretty good for me right now. As for Cornell, I don’t know if they would even look at subject tests that have pretty low scores. I read in another thread that colleges would not like to see people taking the same subject test more than once.
@anBoa122 they dont check to see if u have taken it more than once. its only on rare occasion. esp, cuz u get to choose the scores to submit. i received this information from a paid college counselor.
Hey for one of the questions about the passage of the deck of cards, was one of the answers something like “the subjects go under physiological/psychological changes”?
@gkma98 yup
@lolokcollege did you also get explained/independent for the vocab question?
@gkma98 yeah im pretty sure
Okay, this is my take on the whole " Tactfully incredulous v. Falsely dramatic"
I chose neither, my choice was overtly admiring.
The reason is, tactfully incredulous implies that there is some hint of doubt that the student has actually finished the book. I didn’t get that from the passage- it was more focused on how the historians had failed.
I didn’t chose falsely dramatic because of the qualifier “falsely”. We have no evidence in the passage to conclude his drama is false.
The closest to my interpretation was overtly admiring although I can see the logic for falsely dramatic. I’m very sure tactfully incredulous is wrong.
@verdeemerald while i can see the reasoning behind your answer, overtly admiring is most definitely incorrect. Overtly just denotes that the author was being “open about their admiration” for the students who actually finished the textbook. However, the purpose of the introduction was not to chronicle the author’s admiration for these students (because he had none–it was strictly ironic) but to be dramatic or in disbelief that these students actually got through these purposeless and trite textbooks.
Updated College Board Statement: “We have waived the fee for the October SAT administration for students who let us know that their testing experience was negatively affected by the printing error and we will continue to do so.”
^ So happy that I decided to cancel 
Hmm…i guess we’ll have to see how generous they will be with this curve…
@lolokcollege what does a normal CR and M curve look like on the PSAT?
nvm to my question, found this by @fignewton
