<p>yes, that would be helpful haha, i’m pretty sure i chose 38 but at the same time not sure…</p>
<p>There was only one answer in the high 30s, I’m pretty sure. If you choose either 37 or 38 you most likely got the question right.</p>
<p>were there two answer choices that were > 37?</p>
<p>I think it was 25, 37, 100, 87, and 75 (or something like that)… This is not a controversial question. The answer was 37.</p>
<p>Going back to the Mo passage- was the answer to the buff guy question that he felt self-conscious? I think it was choice E.</p>
<p>The student (William) was self-conscious that he was asking the class’s request. The context clues and wording supported this choice. I don’t quite remember how, though, so if someone else could jump in on this one that’d be great.</p>
<p>^Yeah I think so. Do you guys remember a writing question about the Iditarod? Something like
“Unlike Anchorage, where it begins, the Iditarod runs through vast tracts of wilderness…”</p>
<p>I remember changing it to “Though it begins in the bustling city of Anchorage, the Iditarod runs through vast tracts of wilderness…” or something similar…both seemed right to me though.</p>
<p>Also, what was the answer to the question about the (Indian? I wasn’t sure) author? I think I changed it from “Born and raised in the U.S, Jhumpa Lahiri’s fiction explores…” to “Born and raised in the U.S., Jhumpa Lahiri explores in her fiction” @_@</p>
<p>does any one remember the question in the first section of Writing that included several different options, some with a comma, some without, and it had the word “EITHER”</p>
<p>What was the answer to the arch</p>
<p>QUICK! does anyone remember the question that had the answer choice “pedestrian”
it was a sentence completion, i believe</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The Iditarod trail answer was “Although it begins in the bustling town of Anchorage, the Iditarod race…”. I remember that and I’m one hundred percent confident that the correct answer started with “Although”. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was the correct answer. There were only two answer choices that had Jhumpa Lahiri in the correct place and the other one had a grammatical error in the second half of the answer choice.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>More information, anyone?</p>
<p>Flying Space Bear–I’m a mom, so I didn’t take the PSAT on Wednesday (my son did). Your change was correct. The original sentence compares Anchorage to the Iditarod, not vast tracts of wilderness. The context indicates that comparison of Anchorage and wilderness is the author’s intent.</p>
<p>The either question was a great question in my opinion. It mainly tested parallelism! i put the one that was like “as a result of either…or…this.” Because it was the only one, that had parallel structure from either this or this. not either from this or this, the latter would be correct if it were either from this or from this. if you get what I’m saying. </p>
<p>My cutoff in my state was 211. Unfortunately, I tanked on this test…wasn’t my day. I got a 223 last year w/o studying, and this is just peeving me that i f’ed up. On math I missed 3 (Down to ~70), cr missed like 5-6 (Down to ~65), and writing I might have missed one (~76 at worst. last year i got a 79 though so hoping for 80). I just want to make the cut and never worry about this ever again. And every single practice test i took i had an 80 in math an 80!!! and on the real thing I choke and burn relatively speaking 
i’m just happy that i don’t live in the NE, then i would hav eknown i blew it :/</p>
<p>I am thinking that -6 on CR might still be like a 66 or 67 this time. Okay, the “either” question was the one about Rome and archaeology, and the answer was the resulting in either ___ or war (or similar) one. I thought I had gotten that one wrong. Maybe I am at -1… I normally get -1 or -2 on Blue Book SAT writing, so I am hoping for a -1.</p>

<p>“The painting was ___; it was boring and lacked variety.” Something like that. The answer choices were:</p>
<p>Esoteric-Intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest</p>
<p>Bombastic-Ostentatiously lofty in style; “a man given to large talk”; “tumid political prose”.</p>
<p>Quixotic-Exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical: “a vast and quixotic project”.</p>
<p>One other one, and the correct answer:
Pedestrian-Lacking inspiration or excitement; dull.</p>
<p>The answer was clearly pedestrian.</p>
<p>hey guys, in the retraction vs. concession question what was the evidence for concession? I could have sworn he was musing hypothetically…</p>
<p>did pretty good besides that one…</p>
<p>The answer to a sentence completion was 100% pedestrian. I believe the sentence went something along the lines of: “The artist’s lack of flair in his work led many critics to refer to it as ______.” That is no way the real sentence, but it has the gist of it. Pedestrian was definitely the correct answer.</p>
<p>Yes, the answer was pedestrian for sure. ^^</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That was a straightforward question. The clue was albeit, which indicated it was a concession. Logically, the question that had concession in it was narrowed down to two answers: concession and retraction. Retraction is defined as “a taking back of a previous statement”. An example would be “The answer was X. Wait, no, the answer was Y.” This is something that happens in dialogs a lot, but it is definitely not something that would appear on a PSAT/SAT Critical Reading passage. The sentence in question was referring to the fact that water was found on Mars, albeit in a permafrost state. “Albeit in a permafrost state” does NOT retract the statement “Water was found on Mars.” and, therefore, the answer could not have been retraction. Concession is correct because concessions are things that acknowledge possible counter arguments. An general example is “We will do this because, even though X is true, we think Y will happen.” Albeit is a clear indication that the phrase was a concession.</p>
<p>sweet got it wrong, but thank you!</p>
