<p>thanks dewran, i can’t seem to get people’s attention because this post is moving fast. Was that score with a lenient or harsh curve?</p>
<p>anyone remember the no error sentences</p>
<p>Critical Reading
- Mini-Pair on the Internet Bubble (internet and internet + british railroad)
. Compared to Passage 2, Passage 1’s tone is glib.
. Both authors agree that internet companies lost investments
. The “entrepreneurs” = “would-be millionaires” of second passage</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Dennis
. Paragraph with just Dennis’s name = evocative
. Dennis’s large, oblong shadow = represents awe??? - I can see why dismay would work, but they compared it directly to the Lincoln Memorial, surely they like Lincoln…
. Keeping war from family = not involve family in social activism
. Mommy’s repetition of Dennis’s name = exaggerated regard
. Rooster running around + Mom yelling = riotous moment
. Zoo/circus house = show the excitement within it</p></li>
<li><p>Governess
. Point of final paragraph is to show immediate effects of her new magic tricks
. Point of kid running out of room screaming = show extent of how children want to fool the adults
. Suitcase symbolizes her unsettled life
. Edward’s initial reaction = typical of most young guys to her
. Coyness = pretend to entertain Edward’s request to get what she wants
. Hard (the new life) = onerous
. Description of her lack of mastery of sums etc. = she didn’t apply herself at school
. Grating hinge = she was trying to sneak out
. Life as governess = result of her need to support herself financially
. Irony = Governess is supposed to teach, not learn from students
. “Freedom from bondage, wealth, power, fame” = overstatement</p></li>
<li><p>Shakespeare Two Passages
. “Indeed” = concede a point of an argument that Passage 2’s author disagrees with
. Author 1’s “conception” of the tests are misguided? or idealistic.</p></li>
<li><p>Puerto Rican writers paragraph
. Author = reject the widespread practice as inappropriate (the practice of separating into English and Spanish journals, eclipsing their unity) The other feasible choice was the coinciding two conflicting views, but I thought it was clear that bringing them together > separation in the author’s view, especially with his word choice of “eclipse” in the final sentence.</p></li>
<li><p>Astrophotography paragraph
. Photography = act of self-expression
. Putting a person in the picture also = suggest an approach</p></li>
<li><p>Scientific Theories
. Author is “something receptive” of theories?
. “Easy” theories = easily tested and observed
. Author in last paragraph = resignation over inability to predict which theories will be right
. Theories cannot be tested in physical world</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Sentence Completions
- INNOCUOUS
- Medieval artists perceived the iniquity in the world = IMMERSED in sin
- Diffident???
- _____…REDRESS
- TEMPER the optimism of marketers how was it sustain when it said, “but she didnt go so far as to reject the plan”
- CONJECTURAL evidence is ok to contest, but if strong evidence, critics should RECONSIDER.
- TIMIDITY of scholarly newspaper</p>
<p>Writing
Which one was not experimental (I had a “dad and son, stove, self-reliance” and “motown” paragraph corrections)?
Either way, I put 4 no errors for each…
“Dad and son” was hard…I have a few questions on that one.</p>
<p>. Someone someone succeded Elizabeth to be the director of National American Association, led … Error was to be — as
. Someone someone, whose 1978 novel —, is considered… No error
. Spicy food…error on is — them (the dishes)</p>
<p>Someone someone, whose 1978 novel —, is considered…
No error?</p>
<p>Math
. abs(x) - abs(y) = 10, x-y is none of the above (must be +, must be less than 100, could be zero)
. Circle centered at (0,0) and point (a,b) = all of the above, radius can be either a, b, or root (a^2 + b^2)
. function with .3 (box) = 2, since .32 = 8/25
. Transfer liquid from 1.5 gallon container = 7/30
. Range of millions of barrels = 15
. D = mode is less than average
. Every 3 and 5 min ring = 15 minutes after noon
. intersection (a,b) and (a+2,b+2), k had greater slope = point on k was (a, b+1)
. 5 combos of nickels, dimes, and quarters to get 30 cents
. ratio of p/k = 1/5, so n/r = 1/4 (letters may be off)
. Oil change = September 1st — 3 months elapsed
. x, y, z on a number line = x is -6
. x = 1600 when yz = .05 (the one with the inequalities)
. x coordinate one less than y coordinate = 10/3
. 5-12-13 right triangle tangent to circle, CB = 8
. EBD equilateral triangle — 10 root 3
. Ray + parabola, k = 4 (due to the slope of 2)
. 1:2:3:4 and 1200 phone calls = 480 calls were most
. 288 votes on pie chart
. x+x+x+x = x, so x = 0
. 27 = b^3, b = 3
. Probability of odd integers = 1/3, so even = 2/3
. Rectangular solid with sides 2 and 6 — sum = 40
. Largest temp change = 4-6 pm
. Area of diagonal square = 18
*I was making this off of the math thread, and saw that beast69 started a list, so I hope you dont mind me borrowing some of your questions :P</p>
<p>oh yea, that one i put Were we something something, then life would be boring. Cuz i was looking for If we had, but since it wasn’t in the choice. I thought about the sentence, Had I done better on SAT last time, i wouldn’t be here. So i suppose Were we is the same as If we had known</p>
<p>snowman- the questino was like the newspaper did not take side in a controversial idea, so it was known to be intellectually (solemn or timid</p>
<p>solemnity is, i think, something good and positive.
timidity, although somewhat strong, fits the idea of being scared to take part of something.</p>
<p>It was quite harsh you really had to get everything right for an 800, but i feel this test was quite harder than the last one i took, well the MC at least
the open ended was relatively simple</p>
<p>1 rawpoint off was a 780
2 raw points 760</p>
<p>Someone someone succeded Elizabeth as the director of National American Association, led …
No error?</p>
<p>Someone someone, whose 1978 novel —, is considered…
No error?</p>
<p>For the first question of the science passage, i didn’t put receptivity, i thought the first sentence says he has special interest. So i remember i chose the first answer, it was something delight i think.
Also, the Motown was not an experimental right? Cuz my other one was about Aunt in Hawaii.</p>
<p>thanks echelon for that comprehensive list. can you give me more detail about the son/dad writing question. i might be able to help you on that one. </p>
<p>-i think the motown was the experimental because I had two 35question wirting section (motown being sec7, which is commonly the exp)</p>
<p>Succeeds Elizabeth As, Not To Be. Any objection? I also put no error for that one about the novel</p>
<p>It seems that motown was real, but for those writing exps…
Son and dad + stove/wood was really weird
- Was it “in addition” or “true to form”
- Papers and junk mail are “consumed by fire”? The sentence itself seemed right…but they didnt give you an option for that.</p>
<p>So is the answer TEMPER or SUSTAIN</p>
<p>and is the indian one EXPERIMENTAL</p>
<p>for the one about “chapp succeeded elizabeth TO BE the president of national american association” (if this is the right question), i got TO BE because i thought it shuold have been TO BECOME. omg /cry</p>
<p>SeaHwang, the question about newspaper, It said something about having the reputation, so i think it needed a positive connotation word, instead of being timid.</p>
<p>ok guys im outy</p>
<p>im feeling relatively optimistic on this test :D</p>
<p>hopefully score will come out before dec 29 x_X</p>
<p>Something is ironic only if it’s not supposed to happen.</p>
<p>The governess wasn’t learning from her encounters with the children…she wouldn’t be expected to be. It would be ironic if she wasn’t teaching them, because that’s what a teacher’s supposed to do.</p>
<p>It was ironic because most people get better after acquiring more experience. The governess wasn’t getting any better, and hence the irony.</p>
<p>for the one about “chapp succeeded elizabeth TO BE the president of national american association” (if this is the right question), i got TO BE because i thought it shuold have been TO BECOME. omg /cry</p>
<p>wait i did the same thing! is to be right?</p>
<p>omg if dewran and i beat the odds of that dumba$$ question. i am gonna have a toast and a feast.</p>
<p>anyone here a junior and is thinking about canceling that SAT?</p>
<p>I have a feeling that the curve for this one will be generous…nothing like the november one lol.</p>
