<p>I’m praying for a 70+ on the reading section. I had a brain freeze and forgot what resignation meant (grrr). The rest SEEMS ok, though I’m not sure. Crossed fingers!</p>
<p>Can I essentially count on a -1 = 80 curve? I know that I got -1 CR, and I don’t think I got any more wrong, so…</p>
<p>This test should have been curved quite a lot; based on many of the responses on this thread, most test takers got lower scores</p>
<p>-1 should be a 80 or at least a 79 on this test for CR. I’m guessing a 78 or 79 for -1 in W as well. Math, however, should be 77 or 76 for -1, for it was easier than past PSAT exams (IMO).</p>
<p>Concerning the Mexican Marta passage,</p>
<p>what was the answer for the purpose of the fisherman’s quote?</p>
<p>Apparently it seems that it was to assert a previous statement, but nobody has mentioned any support for this.</p>
<p>I chose that it was to offer an alternative option or something like that since it seemed to make the most sense.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the other answer choices or the question, for the “placid” answer?
Or with the profound question…?</p>
<p>the placid answer was about a “placid” girl that, unlike other people, saw disturbances as mild annoyances.</p>
<p>something like that. I recall that one of the other answer choices was diffident.</p>
<p>the profound question was talking about a book I think.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s to qualify his previous statement. He earlier said “dejala”, let her go. Then, he qualified (limited) it with “if you want”.</p>
<p>Qualify?</p>
<p>The multiple choice said to assert his previous statement. It doesn’t seem that saying “if you want” quite fits the definition of assertive since it’s related to saying something with confidence.</p>
<p>I think it was to offer an alternative since Marta could either take advantage of the situation and make her dad give her an education or just let the chance go.</p>
<p>^ There was no choice that said “to assert his previous statement”. “To offer an alternative” was incorrect as well. The answer was definitely “to qualify his previous statement”.</p>
<p>Did anyone else put to retract his previous statement on the fisherman question? I think I thought to far into it. The whole staring down at the feet thing when he said “If you want to” made me think that he wasn’t so sure of what he had previously said.</p>
<p>What were the answer choices to the one where it asked about the assumption in the TV Ads?</p>
<p>What was the answer to why the author uses the European Courts?</p>
<p>European courts = prevent manipulation of fact</p>
<p>What did you guys get about the “bunch of atoms” problem in the Critical Reading section?</p>
<p>^Admits that the idea is unappealing or something like that…I don’t remember anymore.</p>
<p>What were the answer choices to the one where it asked about the assumption in the TV Ads?</p>
<p>Bump. 10char</p>
<p>anyone still remember the “apocryphal” question?</p>
<p>^Umm, something about how history textbooks contain certain anecdotes that used to be accepted but are now considered ___________ by some historians.</p>
<p>I love my memory.</p>
