Official June 2nd SATI Thread

<p>Museum…I vaguely remember that. I think you’re correct. Of course, I don’t remember the other choices.</p>

<p>hmm i think there was a choice about that she didnt care about it until she was an adult and needed something to write about.</p>

<p>but i thought that was wrong and i put that she didnt ask because of her mothers attitude.</p>

<p>another choice that i remember was definitely wrong was something about a language barrier.</p>

<p>hmmm i don’t know. i was on one of the chat rooms and they agreed on impulse.</p>

<p>w/e i’m retaking. what’s done is done. anyone else planning to retake?</p>

<p>What was the answer for the very last writing question where it talks about a plant called algo something whose leaves are used to make a gel.</p>

<p>I put A and a google search seems to prove me right:
<a href=“"from whose leaves are" - Google Search”>"from whose leaves are" - Google Search;

<p>"“why didnt the daughter ask the mother until adulthood - ?”</p>

<p>I am pretty sure that the only was close was something about how she didn’t really care about the info until she was an adult. becuase in the passage it says that she didn’t ask her mom until she needed inspiration for herself as a writer."</p>

<p>westcoastlove - this wasn’t the correct answer as far as i can remember…the paragraph before she talks about becoming a writer, where she says she felt alienated, indicates a desire to know about her heritage/history/whatever…therefore, i picked the choice which was something like “her mother’s attitude was able to suppress her desire”</p>

<p>jadore, umm…we just took it yesterday. How bad do you think you did?</p>

<p>yeah im retaking for sure.</p>

<p>this was just my first time.</p>

<p>My first time as well. I think DOctor is right. She definitely showed concern before adulthood.</p>

<p>it was the mother’s attitude stifled her interest to do so because her mother’s attitude was her resentment to her past and not wanting to talk about it and that stopped her daughter from asking her because her daughter wanted to know but knew her mother did not want to talk about it</p>

<p>altruist, i thought i did good on math and better on writing than in january. but cr i think i might have done worse this time than last (got 670 in jan), and i want at least a 700 in cr.
this makes me sad.</p>

<p>What question is sratman answering?</p>

<p>hey guys i have to go eat and do my homework. but i might be back on later.</p>

<p>i really want to know about the biographer questions and the improving the braces paragraph questions…can anyone remember any of those?</p>

<p>I’d estimate that you could get 4-5 wrong on the math and still make out with 700 or more.</p>

<p>…I remember that sentence 5 didn’t belong.</p>

<p>I took a literal approach to the “Why didn’t she ask her mother until adulthood” question, and I opted for the straightforward A) “The author was a writer seeking a subject.”</p>

<p>Admittedly, a spiel about suppressing her desire immediately preceded the paragraph in question. But the “writer in search of subject” bit seemed so obvious, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from SAT practice tests, it’s that the College Board punishes extrapolation. </p>

<p>Drawing upon outside knowledge may be admirable in the “real world,” but I’ve been burned in the past for doing so on standardized tests!</p>

<p>Nice… Thanks xALTRUISTx… that helped me raise my hopes. Dang Man. The curve is gonna be so hard for Math. </p>

<p>I hope the curve is easy for writing though… cuz it was actually medium -hard.</p>

<p>are u sure for the chinese mother question that the mom’s attitude was even a choice? could u guys possibly be mixing that up with the choice about why she felt sorry for her or whatever b.c i feel like i would have at the very least debated that and most likely put that over the daughter not caring…</p>

<p>For that one I definitely put that she had not asked her mother about her past until her own adulthood because “her mother’s attitude had stifled her interest” or something like that. Because in the first few paragraphs it talks about her mother’s attitude and how her mom acted really nonchalant about her past and that the girl felt equal “equanimity” when she heard about the crazy things her mom did because her mom made it seem like it wasn’t a big deal.</p>

<p>now that i tihnk about the aloe vera question. Is the verb “is / are” referring to leaves or the gel.</p>

<p>cause if its leaves, then the original sentence is correct ("are), else its “is”</p>

<p>I put the same thing as Katherine for that CR question.</p>
