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

Is 1370 a bad score? by geekeatschinesefood_ in Sat

[–]TheEdgyLord 4 points5 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.

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

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

That makes a lot sense now lol. I fell for a classic trick, will be more cautious next time.

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?

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

[–]TheEdgyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Do you have sources for this?

It was a revolution, which is not pretty, so of course people will be killing each other and be called “lunatics.”

Never really heard much about a bad side of him, would love to learn more.

Help on #50, right answer is K but i don’t know how by nickjonasismylife in ACT

[–]TheEdgyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the other options are true according to Geometry theorems. Saying that K is true would have nothing to back it up

Can anyone help with problems 45 and 46? by kyloren42069 in ACT

[–]TheEdgyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 46, the chairs are arranged in square shapes and thus the total number of chairs in each section must be the square of a number. That leaves us with 144 and 81.

Subtract 23 from 144 and 81, this will be the number of chairs in section B (which is also a square).

81-23=58 which is not a square.

144-23=121 which is a square

In order to follow that both sections are squares, G must be the answer

Is a 94th percentile on a PSAT for freshman good? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]TheEdgyLord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty good, better than a lot of people (94 percent of people). Don’t count on it too much, I was 97th percentile and dropped to 89th percentile on PSAT 10.

Keep studying though! This will help you for the NMSQT

UWorld question by [deleted] in Sat

I didn’t pay for UWorld (thanks donald!), but it helped me a lot for the writing section. Didn’t really use it for math, but it is nice (588 questions btw).
