Official thread october sat 2013 test

<p>100-c-n was the phone/bike one</p>

<p>Jlee, I thought it was weird to have 2 CR sections right after the essay, then I had two more farther along.</p>

<p>Honestly I’m never sure about the CR reading sections. I always doubt myself on quite a few of the questions… But my writing and math are great</p>

<p>for the vocab question about rural Egypt, what was the answer?</p>

<p>That explanation for the m=r problem is a bit complicated so here’s a shorter way of doing it: use 3 numbers instead of 15.</p>

<p>I used 2, 3, and 5 (range equals 3, and the median equals 3).
If you multiply all by 4, you get 8, 12, and 20. m (median) equals 12, and r (range) also equals 12. </p>

<p>Ta-da!</p>

<p>Did anyone get a question where it gave an arc length on a circle that you had to define in terms of x? The degree associated with the arc was 36. I got 10x</p>

<p>@newerheights start a new forum with a list of consolidated answers. Post the link on here. This is getting messy and hard to navigate.</p>

<p>Juju it was quotidian (unfortunately).</p>

<p>Jugeujee, it was quotidian.</p>

<p>I’m hoping to clarify the issue over Romantic and Dramatic vs. Mundane and Extraordinary (the current CC favorite)</p>

<p>Romantic is an obvious contender because she states that “it met her standards as a romantic novel”</p>

<p>Mundane too works, although in my opinion less well, as it means “common, ordinary, banal,” which although not explicitly stated, could apply to her original opinion of the book.</p>

<p>Here’s the major division:</p>

<p>Dramatic, as defined by dictionary.com, has two viable definitions:
3. characteristic of or appropriate to the drama, especially in involving conflict or contrast; vivid; moving: dramatic colors; a dramatic speech.
4.
highly effective; striking:
Notice “vivid, moving, conflict or contrast”
The fact that it was read outloud lends the qualities of vivid and moving.
The Anaphora used to Dicken’s uses: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” appeals to the characteristic of conflict/contrast</p>

<p>Extraordinary works just as well, ‘she was amazed by the poetic blah blah’.</p>

<p>Ultimate Conclusion? I just got screwed by the SAT
So CCers, what do you think? Who’s starting the letter campaign?</p>

<p>it was 10x as the triangle taht was formed was equilateral and the angle of the thingy was 60degrees out of the possible 360.</p>

<p>I’m praying mundane and extraodinary was it lol</p>

<p>are you guys seriously debating on the perimeter question ?? that was a 2nd grade question for the love of PETE</p>

<p>@DumbAndLethal</p>

<p>I’m honestly not sure if I had that. However, I know I had 3 writing and 3 critical reading sections, so math should’ve been my experimental.</p>

<p>Aww. I didn’t put that.
I missed like too many CR questions. Dammit.</p>

<p>@jugugeegee I think it was quotidian. </p>

<p>@all Do you think I should cancel my score. I know I got 800 math. I wrote about the Puritans stalking each other, etc. for the essay. Pretty sure that I did well on the grammar. Had a couple unsure on critical reading. I want to apply for Stanford, so should I cancel my score? I think I got above a 2200.</p>

<p>@armedbyknowledge the right one was mundane… extraordinary. the girl was enlivened by the way the woman read her the story</p>

<p>I put mundane and extraordinary because i didn’t like the choice of dramatic and romantic was way too specific (at first, she thought the book was like any other–however, after the woman read it, it sounded super interesting to her)</p>

<p>I’m going to join the 25/9 club, does anyone remember the question and section number? I get the Q/A in the mail ;)</p>

<p>@armed - It’s mundane because there was nothing more special about that book when the girl read it</p>

<p>In hindsight, I am pretty sure that it’s mundane…extraordinary.</p>

<p>Theoretically, however, poetic…musical is a perfect answer. If you read
“…the first time she heard poetry” with the emphasis
“…the first time she heard poetry,” then technically this means that she thought the lines were poetic, but she just hadn’t heard them read aloud. And obviously, she thought it was musical in the end.</p>

<p>However I think that poetic…musical is “wrong” despite the fact that it’s right.</p>
