<p>ah yeah… probably u are right, wickesmaaht.
By the way, i know that for the Smooth gentleman question, the answer was “SUAVE.” But can’t it also be velvety? CUz Velvety also mean like velvet, “smooth and soft to sight or hearing or touch or taste.”</p>
<p>Well, velvety is an adjective for texture and corresponds to the senses. The speaker drew his conclusion of the man being “smooth” based on his actions and attitude, not really his texture. I think it was “suave” because he described him in a way that made him seem sophisticated and charming.</p>
<p>Help me…wuz the analogy maxim:verbosity…thing in the EXPERIMENTAL??</p>
<p>okay thanks Wickedsmaaht
BTW again, i wonder why SAT people don’t post the answers after the test is over.
it would make ppl feel much relaxed. So stoooopid</p>
<p>they can recycle questions that wayyyy!</p>
<p>MAXIM and VerBOSITY definitely wasn’t experimental.
I didn’t have the experimental section for verbal, and i had that question.</p>
<p>btboxpunk - Probably not. I had that analogy in one of my verbal sections, but I had an experimental math in the QC section.</p>
<p>djlethal - that would make everyone’s life on CC much easier haha.</p>
<p>AHH LAZINESS! Great!! Now I have realized taht they were human beings!</p>
<p>darn!!
had to get it Wrong i had to damn damn damn</p>
<p>4 wrong. 5 skipped on QC. (ran outta time). for math wat would my score be?</p>
<p>wats my score for verbal?
12 wrong., 4 skipped</p>
<p>your math probably around a 650 and verbal around 640. that’s my estimate based on other tests scales that might be similar</p>
<p>damn i really wanted 1300.</p>
<p>I could be wrong. It depends on how everyone else did. It’s very possible you got a 1300.</p>
<p>am i rite in assuming that the scale only fluctuates by 10? like a raw score of 51 math can only be a 670 or 680.</p>
<p>Usually it’s around there, but if more people got a 51 then the scaled score goes down. The test of May 1996 had a scaled score of 690 for a raw score of 51, but it stays within that range most of the time.</p>
<p>Okay everyone, btboxpunk is RIGHT. The quality of test takers on the day you take the SAT DOES NOT MATTER ONE IOTA. That’s right, everyone could get every question right, but the PRE SET scale would not change. </p>
<p>From CB: “Equating adjusts for slight differences in difficulty between test editions and ensures that your score does not depend on the specific test edition you took or how well others did on the same edition you took.”</p>
<p>They get the scale from the experimental sections when they gave them. They rank the questions in difficulty (from 1-5) and use a combination of easy, medium, and difficult questions to come up with a difficulty on each test that is APPROXIMATELY the same. </p>
<p>Once again, how all of us did on Nov 6, 2004 will have absolutely NO EFFECT on the curve for this test.</p>
<p>damn straight…i was RIGHT!
go me…</p>
<p>score, double score, SWEET!</p>
<p>man…i always do so well on the experimental sections.</p>
<p>its rediculous some of those questions on the real one. ahhh im about to pull my hair out.</p>
