<p>SeaHwang, I got that too.
But I thought to be was supposed to be “As”</p>
<p>hahaha i hope so sea if not w/e</p>
<p>writing is the least important section</p>
<p>before i leave i have one last question </p>
<p>my essay was about it people need to forget their ideas and i wrote about how they need to forget old unrealistic bad ideas to accept new ones</p>
<p>you think that has a chance of being off topic?</p>
<p>collegepanic- from my experience with SAT, i would advise you NOT to cancel the test. the least it can do, if you did horribly, is to be a benchmark of how well you did in each sections. it also motivates you to study harder if you did badly. don’t cancel that stupid test and let your study go to waste.</p>
<p>dewran-
almost all the things we write about has a chance of being off topic. if you succeeded in convincing yourself and your potential readers with your point of view, the least you can get is a 8. By the looks of your topic, assuming you wrote decent examples to back your pov, you should be fine.</p>
<p>Because I had to take a pee through a math/reading section, I could not concentrate (reason I missed the ab question). If I missed around 6-10(omg), how should my scores look like for CR? Sorry for asking these dumb questions - i don’t have a score chart handy around me.</p>
<p>can anyone help me see how much is six omits on reading, assuming everything else is correct</p>
<p>For the math question where you had to find the point contained in line k other than (a+2, b+2), the answer is (a+1, b+2). It’s not (a, b+1) because that would mean k is a vertical line. You cannot say that an undefined slope is greater than a defined slope; you can only compare slopes that are defined.</p>
<p>I guess we still haven’t reach a consensus on the Sustain or temper one, so i’m gonna count that wrong for myself. Also, exaggerated Regard for the AFrican mother, i put Insistence on children following that brother’s path, so i got it wrong too. i didn’t know what glib meant, so i got it wrong too. and finally Trust in and naivete one, i found the answer afterward. can anyone estimate what i would get if i got 6 wrong on verbal?</p>
<p>who thought that Shakespeare passage was extremely hard???</p>
<p>I agree with SeaHawg. Don’t cancel the test, especially if you think you did really well in at least one section b/c that could increase your combined score down the line.</p>
<p>I know from experience. I canceled 3 Subject Tests, but I regret doing so</p>
<p>so wait is trust in and naivete wrong</p>
<p>how much can i get wrong if I get 700 on verbal</p>
<p>Yeah, the math one is (a+1, b+2). I don’t think (a,b+1) was a choice.</p>
<p>o yeaaa, i think i got trust in and naivete keane</p>
<p>Personally i thought that one was the easiest pair passage i have encountered so far. So if you have any question, i can probably answer them. Oh yeah, the question about Indeed, i put underscore little known fact about Shakespear, cuz i dind’t think other make sense. Does anyone wanna explain about the previous response Conceding…</p>
<p>yup i got (a+1, b+2) as well</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 can you explain your argument triviadude, I dont know why this is would be wrong

<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

- TRUST…NAIVETE too much trust = proclivity bordered on naivete</p>
<p>Writing
Which one was not experimental (I had a “dad and son, stove, self-reliance” and “motown” paragraph corrections)? EDIT: I think Motown is real
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>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

. Range of millions of barrels = 15
. D = mode is less than average
. Every 3 and 5 min ring = 15 minutes after noon

. 1:2:3:4 and 1200 phone calls = 480 calls were most

. 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>Anyone can update this list…all you have to do is copy paste, use periods for the bullets, put any additions in bold (ctrl+b), and underline the section names (ctrl+u) lol.</p>
<p>anyone know how well you must do on the SAT to be National Merit Finalist</p>
<p>ok thanks guys, im out</p>
<p>have fun discussing the rest of the test :P</p>
<p>so is motown real for sure? i had one about a japanese aunt as well.</p>
<p>i just got back from my test.</p>
