Official US November SAT Discussion II (Test with Negative Campaigns)

<p>Lol smooch, I’m not Japanese so i can plead cultural ignorance? :slight_smile:
Thanks for the answers, I got what you pointed out as answers. </p>

<p>Thank you f1y, and yes, there was definitely an error–you needed to put Tyler after the first part otherwise you would be calling the food a delicious cook. LOL</p>

<p>Do you know which section was math exp?</p>

<p>@audacities exactly (;</p>

<p>Haha. How many of y’all are seniors?</p>

<p>i think the math experimental was the one with the triangle on the 2nd square of first column and it said that a second triangle would be placed with the caveat that two triangles could not be in the same row or column… or atleast I HOPE IT WAS because i didn’t understand that problem at all</p>

<p>I’m a senior. I’m taking it again for fun after college admissions :slight_smile: I’m trying to get that 1600 (I don’t try too hard on writing)!</p>

<p>I did not get that math porblem smooch :P</p>

<p>I believe experimental was CR, and not the one with Zora Neale Hurston.</p>

<p>@Classiclays Haha nicee. But wait. If you apply regular decision, don’t all your scores get sent in, regardless?</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the CR question: What is the tone of the author’s rhetorical question? (about the builders and how constructions sites are dangerous) → humorous or sincere?</p>

<p>happylemon… that was the question about Why do you think that construction workers wear hard hats? right??</p>

<p>i put SINCERE</p>

<p>After I get accepted, like in March/May but I just realized I don’t need to send in score reports, so probably even earlier. I think I got 800 reading or something close this time but I messed up on one or two questions on math.</p>

<p>edit: i also put sincere. i was debating with humorous, i remember curious was a choice but it was wrong</p>

<p>For the negative ads CR tough definitely meant bold…</p>

<p>yeah i also put sincere :)</p>

<p>Do you remember what choices there were for tough and what context it was used in?</p>

and i forgot the other, sorry!
context was um? and tough ads leads to turnover debates… the sentence is escaping my mind
im thinking it was something like…
negative campaigning is the virtue of real debate [sentence before “tough”]</p>

<p>About construction workers question: I originally had sincere, but then I thought that if the overall tone of the passage was breezy and the author attempted to be funny in other parts (ex: John Adams’s thigh), it could be “humorous.” Also, I don’t think he was sincerely inquiring as to whether or not you knew why builders wear hats… it was more of an ironic thing</p>

<p>The only two that were possible are bold and competitive</p>

<p>It was used in a sentence about tough political races which facilitate more interest in voters</p>

<p>I chose competitive for that</p>

<p>I remember now! I put competitive. The author mentioned increased competition by attacking the opponent (otherwise known as ad hominem for the A.P. English kids). By having competitive ads that made people think about the candidates more, there would be more debates. Correct me if I’m wrong.</p>

<p>@happy you have a good point on humorous but I figured wearing construction hats to be safe isn’t funny. I also burst out laughing when I read the thigh thing.</p>
