OFFICIAL October 8, 2005 SAT I Forum

<p>Hamster, Elements of style is uh-mazing (even though I despise most things related to english class)</p>

<p>Some of the examples used are stupendously witty</p>

<p>yeah, there was an absolute value of it</p>

<p>you had to find the value of |x| and x<0</p>

<p>Wow, that sucks. I guess I overlooked it.</p>

<p>i dont remember if the inequality problem specifically stated that x<0 or not. my friend and I put 9.5 but we might have skimmed over that restriction.</p>

<p>if it stated that, then the answer is in fact, 3.5. if not, then 9.5 is valid as well.</p>

<p>I better actually get my scores in 2 weeks this time rather than 2 months!</p>

<p>Okay…now time for a verbal question. Did anyone have a vocab in context question regarding penguins and global warming? I believe I got that one wrong</p>

<p>haha, if i don’t get it in two weeks, i’ll be majorly ****ed, as i need these scores for my app to gatech…</p>

<p>waaaahhh i got a question wrong so it must have been experimental because it would be impossible for my score to reflect my performance</p>

<p>Both me and my friend also did not see the restriction that x<0, so we both put 9.5 as well.</p>

<p>Does anyone know approx. when standby SAT takers get their scores?</p>

<p>so, is it really “in” with museum Writing MC? I wasn’t really sure, but I put that answer down anyway.</p>

<p>no, it wasn’t in I don’t think. It said something along the lines of in hopes to gain, shouldn’t it be in hopes “of gaining”.</p>

<p>ah i think thats what i put whew lol</p>

<p>For the passage on superstring theory, there was a question that asked about what would refute what the author is saying. I think I put a discovery of a mathematical formula that linked general relativity and quantum mechanics (in more scientific terms, quantum gravity/unified theory). Was that the correct response?</p>

<p>No… that IS string theory. The correct response was proof for changing laws for changing target size (or something to that effect).</p>

<p>thats what i put</p>

<p>The question was what would refute the “young upstart” referring to the superstring theory. The answer would be evidence that seperate sets of laws apply depending on the size of the system being studied.</p>

<p>John, the answer was proof that the size of the system mattered for physical equations, or something along those lines.</p>

<p>o dam i thought it was “proof that universal laws are governed by size of objects” u no cus that wud mean superstring theory (which is meant to accomodate for any size) wud be wrong</p>

<p>i put that too JohnL.</p>

<p>how about the one about acting: like which would prove that the characters brought in were all the same? do you remember the choices?/</p>
