SAT May 2012 Official Discussion

<p>I didn’t get that. Do remember any other options</p>

<p>@pinkie12 there are different experimental sections floating around, even within the same testing room.</p>

<p>anyone get affectionate + Bribery? or was it cajolery and play?</p>

<p>It was asking what “solid” meant in context (talking about painting vs. dancing) options were A-substantial, B-3 dimensional? C- compact or something, D-?, E-prudent</p>

<p>did anyone get a ridiculous amount of C’s towards the end of the writing section?</p>

<p>also for #29, I got D. Would do so I thought should have been would be so. right?</p>

<p>and for the book title in the texting passage, I got D, intentionally uses informal diction?</p>

<p>i literally got like 5 c’s in a row for the writing! for that writing section, how many E’s did u get? i only got like 1?</p>

<p>^ same I got 1 maybe 2 but no more than that.</p>

<p>I got 3 E’s</p>

<p>for judging the experimental, is it the same number section for everyone just different when it comes to whether it was a reading writing or math?
(for example is it like section 6 was experimental for everyone?) or could it have been all different sections for people</p>

<p>I got a bunch of C’s in a row too! It was freaking me out :frowning: but at least I’m not alone!</p>

<p>there was a problem in critical reading (short passage) describing how a girl’s dad is away and travelling. The question that followed had two choices that I was unsure about:</p>

<ul>
<li>something about a conflict (this is what i thought)</li>
<li>a description about a pattern of behavior?</li>
</ul>

<p>What did you guys think</p>

<p>@dlee14
I chose the pattern of behavior, but I could be wrong.</p>

<p>was it cajolery and play or affectionate for the doll?</p>

<p>I thought it was a description about a pattern of behavior b/c the dad kept writing letters that were like similar everytime.</p>

<p>what was the 25 hour weekly also? was it 8 hours the first week?</p>

<p>I put something about neglect…I thought the main idea was that he wasn’t really paying attention to her</p>

<p>10 hours the first week 15 the 2nd
X+1.5x=25
X=10 but you were looking for 1.5x which was 15</p>

<p>yeah, but it said “condone” the neglect, which would mean to allow/accept the neglect. So it wasn’t that.</p>

<p>It was the pattern of behavior</p>

<p>Anyone else get prudent as an answer in a CR passage?</p>

<p>right, so wouldn’t it have been either the description of the pattern of behavior OR the choice that said something about a conflict</p>
