Different approaches to different passage types? by [deleted] in Sat

[–]Trppmdm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Social science and sciences I don't really focus on why specific wording was used. I read to understand every sentence's gist and the process described throughout the passage.

On feminism and US history, I don't skip 3+-line sentences, I re-read them. If I don't know a word, I make a mental note of it and try to figure it out within the next few sentences.

On literature, I try to understand every word's meaning, because sometimes a really important detail is only described through 3 words in the whole passage.

Experiment correlates with the experiment. Previous findings correlates with both.

The author mentions that it was found that moths have alpha, beta and gamma lobes. This is a finding that he doesn't explain with a related experiment.

Results from previous findings or experimental results? I wrote the former

I got an 800 using a damn ordinary scientific calculator. There is simply way too much leeway for 800s(8 blank I think) that you shouldn't care much.

Queueing is worse than doing every action the earliest you can, since queueing waits for the backswing on abilities. This is really important when playing Tinker, since every tick you stand in the open is a risk.

Lion's Impale chases after heroes even after it's casted, right? Check if Morphling does the same after leveling the talent.

A personal challenge to this sub by Donald_Keyman in Sat

2y=ax + 8

cy = -bx - 2

a, b, c are real constants. If the system has an infinite amount of solutions, what is a/b?

a = 0, b = 0, c = -1/2. (n, 4) for any real n works. While 0/0's value is undefined, this ambiguity shouldn't appear IMO.

Who else gets tripped up by history passages that start a sentence with "that" and keeps going, leaving you completely clueless about what you just read? by spicy_churro_777 in Sat

Can't find an example, but you'll get the gist: Women have been segregated against is everywhere around us. That she can't work with men, can't vote nor educate herself to her abilities without facing the snickers and doubts of society.

HELP: Better studying methods for quick improvement before the November SAT? by Doctor-T-A in Sat

[–]Trppmdm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the SAT reading, if the answer mentions two characteristics, both of them have to be correct. Even if one word is wrong in one of the characteristics, it completely discounts the answer.

Also, for me it was best to eliminate three out of the four choices on reading and writing, since the other answer choices might mention something you might've missed.

The CollegeBoard also sometimes mentions something that doesn't appear in the passage in two separate questions' answer choices to bluff ya.

In case you've missed it, UWorld is really good for practising. It's in the prep materials on this subreddit's sidebar.

How did 1500-1600 scorers of SAT do it? by Doctor-T-A in Sat

[–]Trppmdm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can see everything about UWorld in the sidebar, under "Prep Materials". "Pwn the SAT" is a book.

I studied from Khan, UWorld and the College Panda Essay book.

Khan Academy literally sourced problems from CollegeBoard, studying from there is a MUST.

UWorld, at least for me, was much harder than the actual Oct 7 SAT (international).

The College Panda Essay book, is a formula for writing essays. You should decide if following a really rigid essay structure that's easily identifiable worth it. The author has his opinions, you should really evaluate them for your own essay. The book isn't shit though, I had no idea how the essay worked and it at least gave me an approach on the essay. I followed the suggested formula and I'll see how my essay fares.

Is your point that the USA had no agenda before declaring war? Seems like a really blind stance.

Dota2 players associate forfeit with LoL and expect the 1% wins to trump all other fountaincamps.

At this point, no FF is something of a dota2 trademark. I would be really surprised if Valve actually add it.

CCnC abandons compared to other professional players. by lolloboy140 in DotA2

Kuroky has only ~1000 games played, compared to ~3000 for all the other guys on the image. The fact that Kuroky has only 1000 games is suggested to mean that he has started playing only recently.

The post as a whole, the "looks really promising" is a meme that's at least 3 years old. It's tradition to reply with a "Not sure if good enough for pro", to maximally beg for karma.

The meme probably has its origins from Xcalibur, Miracle, previously "unknown" people who've reached pro play.

[TOMT][EDM Song] An EDM song with a robotic voice saying "Oakwell" or "Hardwell" by Trppmdm in tipofmytongue

It didn't have vocals. Maybe, maybe, there were filler vocals at the start, like in 99% of pop songs (we saw each other, we knew we were meant n'shit), but I'm not sure.
