<p>I think it might be too late.</p>
<p>For the short passage about the musician guy, was one of the answers that he was instrumental in bringing about a social change?</p>
<p>Yes, I think social change was the answer for that one. It had multiple examples in the passage that would support that answer choice.</p>
<p>Can someone PLEASE explain to me why the right answer to the implications/Jefferson one is skeptical and not dismissive?</p>
<p>The author flat-out said it wouldn’t work… He said it would be a “recipe for anarchy.” He wasn’t skeptical; skeptical means having doubts and questioning… He didn’t really have doubts in the true definition of the word…He KNEW it wouldn’t work…He never used words/phrases like “Most likely” or “Perhaps” that would suggest that he wasn’t one hundred percent sure that it wouldn’t work… I don’t understand why that’s not dismissive…</p>
<p>I said skeptical because he said it would be nice if it could work in our society but he didn’t think it could.</p>
<p>I put skeptical because he went on about it for a paragraph, if it were dismissive-he would have spent less time on it. At the same time though, he seemed to think in general Jefferson’s ideas were good but they would not work in a real setting-hence skeptical.</p>
<p>dismissive-“to reject serious consideration of”
skeptical-“an attitude of doubt or a disposition to incredulity either in general or toward a particular object”</p>
<p>I bet somebody else could give better reasons than me though, I was tired by the time I got to the Jefferson section.</p>
<p>What is the answer to the math problem where you have an 3 hours and 3 breaks 12 minutes each…how long was each session?</p>
<p>The answer was 36 minutes.</p>
<p>48 minutes</p>
<p>What do you put for the math problem (Not grid-in) with the triangle & you are solving for the 3rd side’s maximum measurements? I don’t remember the side measurements given, but I remember the answer choices were 11, 16, 25(maybe?) 27, & 31.</p>
<p>& the answer to the breaks problem was 36 minutes, you would have subtracted the break minutes & then divided by 4.</p>
<p>I got 48 minutes excel, but I’m not sure I’m right…And for the maximum triangle length one, I got 31.</p>
<p>Yeah, I see what you all are saying about the skeptical thing… But I just didn’t interpret his words as being doubtful… He seemed one hundred percent sure that it wouldn’t work… He flat out rejected the idealistic implications… A skeptic doesn’t flat out reject something…They have doubts…</p>
<p>It was 36 minutes because it said that the 3 breaks were between consecutive sessions. So it would be like this:</p>
<p>Session, break, session, break, session, break, session</p>
<p>3 * 60 = 180 minutes
180 - (3*12) = 144
144/4 = 36 minutes</p>
<p>why 144/4 when there were 3 sessions?</p>
<p>For the triangle problem, I think the answer was 31… but it seemed to be such an easy problem for being one of the last ones in the section so I skipped it.</p>
<p>Oh crap…Silvermoon is right… I just calculated it as 3 breaks and 3 sessions and got 48, which is wrong… I just realized that I totally messed up the math by making dumb mistakes… That makes three that I knew how to do but messed up on just because I’m dumb… The math on this SAT wasn’t hard, but it was tricky… It was easy to mess up by making a dumb error.</p>
<p>I put 48 too. It said there is a break for each session.</p>
<p>There were 3 breaks, not sessions. Look at it like this:</p>
<p>|start| SESSION (break) SESSION (break) SESSION (break) SESSION |finish|</p>
<p>If it were just a break for each session there wouldn’t really be either a start or a finish because there would be a break next to a finish:</p>
<p>|start| SESSION (break) SESSION (break) SESSION (break) |finish|</p>
<p>Silly mistakes kill me in math… but I’m definitely sure I read that problem correctly.</p>
<p>the directions were to find how long a session was given the time of 180 min. there are 3 breaks of 12 for each session. you had to make 2 equations and solve.</p>
<p>I completely guessed on the triangle & put 27. I knew it’d be above 16, & I thought 31 just sounded like too much. I wish I had skipped instead of making a complete guess. Can’t turn back time though ;)</p>
<p>Silly mistakes kill me too… I really am good at math, but it seems like the SAT math asks questions that are really easy to make stupid mistakes on… I hate how they put 48 as an answer to that question… People who put 48 as the answer didn’t get it wrong because they didn’t know how to do the math problem, but simply because they forgot that there are four sessions instead of three… The SAT math questions are designed to trip you up!!! (I like the ACT math better, less tricks.)</p>
