<p>farming…birthplace?</p>

422

<p>@lumi: did u look at the practice psat they gave out… it was 76 for W for -1.</p>

<p>wat was teh farming question?</p>

423

<p>^Direct Hits is a must. Total dominance on today’s PSAT.</p>

424

<p>nvm figured it out, thanks anyway</p>

425

<p>@daniel</p>

<p>its 11 x 9 + 9 x 9
there are 11 numbers from 100-110</p>

<p>then the other 9 come from 120,130,140 etc.</p>

<p>and there are 9 rows (210,310,etc.)</p>

426

<p>well what i did was list them out for the 100’s and multiplied by 9 which came out to be 217</p>

427

<p>^^I think I missed that question too…great. Is Direct Hits really that helpful though? I know I’ve heard good things about it, but is it worth the $30 dollars for both of the books(basic and more complex vocabulary), or should I just buy the more complex one?</p>

428

<p>I don’t remember the second word that “farming” was with, but it was either birthplace or origin. However, one of those two is the wrong answer, because the first blank of it was wrong.</p>

429

<p>buy both, as they go hand in hand. most of the vocab on today’s psat came from the first book</p>

430

<p>? the answer was farming… birthplace</p>

431

<p>Farming + birthplace/origin was correct</p>

<p>Sorry b00, I didn’t look through my PSAT packet. I was going off this thread…</p>

<p>which contains curves from past PSATs</p>

432

<p>O wow, ok, I definitely will. Thanks!</p>

<p>O, was that the one where it was talking about corn?
I think I got that right so I’m content with that one:)</p>

433

<p>Yes, that was the one talking about corn.</p>

434

<p>It’s hard to describe, but does anyone remember the one where two lines were parallel to one another and you had to find what 2x equalled? What did you get for that?</p>

435

<p>I believe 2x=60, so x=32.5</p>

436

<p>^You can buy both DH volumes plus the new CB Blue Book on Amazon for $41.26. That is a good deal.</p>

<p>Darn, I wish I knew about that earlier. I already have the CB Blue Book haha. That would be a good deal though. I think you can still buy the DH books seperate though, so that’s good:)</p>

439

<p>wat was the farming question?
i dont remember that being an answer choice o.o</p>

<p>also there was on wild mushrooms
