<p>Ah well. I’m pretty sure limiting/minimizing his teaching ability is the right answer now anyways. We’ll figure out every for sure when we get our tests back in December.</p>
<p>All I know after looking at this thread is that I’m sure glad I live in Arkansas, for once. <em>strokes last year’s beautiful, beautiful 205 cut-off</em></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Soooo… jealous. I despise NJ’s 223 cutoff.</p>
<p>Mine’s 205-209 :D</p>
<p>@Roycebirth:</p>
<p>It was minimize (somebody checked an exact copy of the test) and minimize would be the only correct answer, since minimize means “to understate.”</p>
<p>There were different forms. I’m pretty sure mine said limit.</p>
<p>There is only one form. Form W for Wednesday. You remember “limit” because weak memories are malleable, and seeing “limit” so many times in this thread made you remember it as “limit.” Or are there really more forms? Since minimize -> limit would make that answer choice totally incorrect for being nonsensical.</p>
<p>I’m still just confused because I remember that x < y < 0 math question differently than a few people, and a few people agree with how I remember it.</p>
<p>So I’m pretty sure I got a perfect 80 in math… but failed reading. Did anyone else think reading was more difficult than in recent years? Maybe they’ll have a generous curve?</p>
<p>@labeisoup: Perhaps, but it is not your ‘strong’ memory that assures you of the fact that it is ‘minimize’, it’s an insider who actually checked the test. So I’m not sure why you’re acting so pretentiously.</p>
<p>haha i totally forgot they included those! i hope i did it right… (I’m replying to the cylinder problem and inclusion of formulas btw)</p>
<p>“The Mo passage killed me” (because I CAN’T figure out how to quote even when checking the boxie) </p>
<p>same! my state standardized test usually isn’t hard, nor did I find the PSATs so, but that passage was vague and tricky and stupid. I mean, I’m sure PhDs in English would mess up some of those critical/you-could-make-a-case-for-either-answer type questions!</p>
<p>Quote: “I would be ENTHRALLED with that score” …enthralled doesn’t mean what you think it does…</p>
<p>^ Hahahaha sorry… Uh, exhilarated? ;D</p>
<p>The Mo passage was easy to me…</p>
<p>Mo was a cakewalk. I really don’t understand why people were having trouble with it.</p>
<p>^ Agreed. Thoreau, on the other hand, tripped me up.</p>
<p>Thoreau? What?</p>
<p>Ok. Wrong passage? But writing was hard for me D:</p>
<p>Well, Mo’s passage was ridiculously easy to get through. But a couple questions attached to that passage were absolutely and utterly vague (and I’m not even referencing the “limit/minimize” one)…</p>
<p>I thought math was pretty average, but only because the fill in the blank questions were time consuming and weird.</p>
<p>I thought writing was extremely easy, except, of course, for those 2 or 3 that are always kind of weird.</p>
