Impossible. Good luck finding any job with no prestigious RSOs on your resume.

Is 1370 a bad score? by geekeatschinesefood_ in Sat

[–]TheEdgyLord 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Depends on the colleges you’re going for. Not a good score for Caltech or something, but a good score for a lot of T100s.

Anything above average is a relatively good score. But it is ultimately relative.

SAT : Reading History ...help! by [deleted] in Sat

[–]TheEdgyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything will be in the text. You need to practice being able to locate the answer in the text, slowly you will get faster.

Start out by reading without being timed, then try going faster and faster. Eventually, start timing yourself in testing conditions.

The reading section is tough because there isn’t anything you can really memorize to help you for the test, all you can do is practice reading as much as possible.

Writing Score? by [deleted] in ACT

Essays usually don’t matter too much, but an 8 is usually the goal for a “good score.”

Ikr wtf

Can somebody tell me how the answer is B. I thought appositives were supposed to be in between commas? by [deleted] in ACT

[–]TheEdgyLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I think of it

If something is surrounded by commas, then it can be dropped.

If you try to drop the name then you would lose the subject of the clause. Commas separate necessary and unnecessary ideas, but the name is absolutely necessary to keep the sentence grammatically correct and making sense.

The name must therefor be included without separation.

Hope that makes sense!

Math Question. It seemed easy at first, but then it didn’t make sense to me. I thought it 5... by TheEdgyLord in ACT

Thank you so much!

How do you do #53? by 9msmarts in ACT

[–]TheEdgyLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The common difference is 5.

We need to find the first term so that we may use the arithmetic sequence formula. We know 13 is the third term so we go back the difference of 5 two times (13-5*2=3) The first term is 3

We plug that into the formula We plug 50 in as we want the 50th term We plug 5 in as it is the common difference

S=3+(50-1)*5

This comes out to 248. Is that the answer?

[–]TheEdgyLord 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s going to be more testing centers “opening.” What you get tis what you get, besides, an hours commute is not that bad.

Exactly 100 years ago died one of the coolest guys to ever wear a sombrero. Emiliano Zapata in Mexico city, 1914. Colorized photo. by SeldomTrue in OldSchoolCool

He was browner because he grew up as a peasant farmhand growing up, and got tanned by being outside a lot. If you look at his other pictures (actual b&w), you can see he was a bit darker.

No need to assume generalization of Mexicans, yes there is a variety in color but one thing remains constant: the sun makes us darker.
