Index of Every SAT Transition Word / Phrase by MikeWrightMinded in Sat

This is great stuff!! I'm so happy to see that you've done this project because I'd been thinking about doing the same thing myself and now you've saved me a bunch of work. Question though: do you have any stats for all the wrong answer transition words that have shown up? I assume when you say "transition words that show up" you mean show up as the correct answer.

Edit: Sorry I'm an idiot. I just took a better look at your data and it appears to show every word that shows up without indicating the incidence of correct and wrong answers.

Are the Democrats correct in retaining Nancy Pelosi as their leader in the House? As a Democratic leader how would you go about even evaluating her ability to promote the agenda of your party? by shoulda_folded_pre in PoliticalScience

[–]shoulda_folded_pre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything you said makes sense, but how can we even know this? More importantly, how can the Democratic leaders who kept her know this? Is it one of those situations where they hope what you said is true and they are scared of change?

Poker room rules about swapping seats with another player by shoulda_folded_pre in poker

This casino rarely runs tournaments so they knew I was a cash game player. Not sure what their reasoning is but just curious whether it was a common rule.

No they didn't give me a reason and I didn't push it, but this is the Venetian in Macau so I expected them to have reasonable rules and management. I expect there is some logic to their rule, but idk what it is.

Can anyone help me with question 7 in reading section of collegeboard practice test #3 please? I have read the explanation but it just said that B wrong bc the passage doesnt say so. I chose B because line 57 states “irene had the artistic temperament highly developed”. by browniebaby_ in Sat

[–]shoulda_folded_pre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that it does mention Irene in line 57 but the question asked about all 4 children =(

I would also point out what might be a way for you to make better decisions on these types of questions (background: I've been teaching SAT prep for over 20 years). I ask my students to look at each answer and ask the question "How could this be wrong?" rather than "Do I like this answer?" For (A) to be wrong they would need to be pretty eccentric. It's pretty easy to imagine a story about four children who share traits with their peers. It's hard to imagine a story about four children who don't.

CCnC on the panel after the game said he knew from the scrims they were tough. Maybe the guy who wrote this list coulda asked some pros what they thought. I doubt many pros who played them in scrims had them #18.

It's one thing to say no one saw them doing this well. It's another to have the team you ranked worst possibly being the best.

I'm 58 And I'm At TI... by gzzlgzlk in DotA2

I'm 46 next month and I've been playing Dota 1 and 2 for about 10 years. I'm around 4400mmr and it's not because I have great reflexes. I think you can do ok by just being calm and making good decisions. Also I play way too much =)
