@@sandrodinizzz I'm sorry. I know the feeling, though, because I feel the same way when listening to people speak French (my second language). Sometimes I adjust the playback speed down to 0.75, and that helps. support.google.com/youtube/answer/7509567?hl=es
Quick question, does college board repeat voab words if they have used it in past practise and bluebook tests? If this is true wouldnt it mean that they wont use these words and instead new ones?
That's a good question. I talk about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CuW1L34kXOI.html But in short, there is a lot of overlap. No list is perfect, but if you focus on learning the words at the level of the ones in this list (or others like it, in the 300-500 word range), you will be well enough prepared.
No, it's correct. I didn't explain it well in this video due to time constraints, but I go over a couple of similar examples in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xZhWYNT-6OM.html And a few more in this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nkYQC3zxSVE.html And even more here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kE6wXXRh7gQ.html
For #21, why would it be “had doubled” when there is no other past event in the same sentence? Wouldn’t a simple “doubled” be sufficient? Granted it’s not one of the answer choices
I see what you're saying, but there was another past event: "the end of the 1990s." Relative to that point in time, the organization's doubling took place even further in the past. In other words, its size had already doubled before the 1990s ended. So it does make sense to use the past perfect here.
@@345tutoring it says module 1 has 33 questions and the first question is “As Mexico's first president from an Indigenous community, Benito Juarez became one of the most figures in his country's history: among the many significant accomplishments of his long tenure in office (1858-1872), Juarez consolidated the authority of the national government and advanced the rights of Indigenous peoples.”
Ah, that is Test 2 of the PDF / Linear / Non-Adaptive tests (not the Bluebook tests). I do have a video for that one here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-o0scRRtL--E.html
@@gh0st-vidz I don't know. I have videos for pretty much all of the sections for both types (not counting Tests 5 and 6 of the non-adaptive ones). ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG6-k4mvjWQlayZp7WF9RM2B ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG4F0swn7squhbqT_OTKkgK8
Yes. The main issue with B is that it doesn't reflect Bem's criticism of Festinger's idea. As it says in the first sentence of Passage 2, Bem's theory "challenges the assumption that people always have a clear and stable belief system that guides their actions." In other words, he is challenging the assumption underlying Festinger's theory (namely, that "people experience psychological discomfort...when they behave in ways that are inconsistent with their beliefs"). Answer choice B suggests that Bem basically does agree with Festinger's theory and its underlying assumptions. That is, for Bem to "recommend that Festinger test his theory by experimenting with the degree of inconsistency between people's beliefs and their behavior" would imply that he (Bem) accepts the idea that people have clearly established beliefs in place before acting -- beliefs that their actions could either be consistent or inconsistent with (to varying degrees). But again, the point of passage 2 is that Bem does not accept this idea, since he "argues that people sometimes infer their beliefs from their own behavior." Does this make sense?
Thank you for the in depth explanations for each problem! They really helped me understand what I was getting wrong. I do have one question though, wouldn't 10 be C because the problem is asking for the maximum possible price before sales tax? Wouldn't that mean that the 1.07 would not be included in the calculation?
Thanks for the nice comment. As for #10, no, we still need to include the 1.07 in the calculation. I was solving for "p" (the price before tax), but they still have to pay the sales tax in the transaction, so it still has to be factored into the equation (or inequality, in this case).
Oh, no, it is 16. The number on the right side of the equation equals the radius squared. So the first circle has a radius of 2 (the square root of 4). The radius of the second circle is twice the radius of the smaller one, meaning its radius is 4 ... and 4 squared is 16.
I also go over it here. It's the first example. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rShBE8N4FcE.html If it still doesn't make sense, let me know.
I would try to take all (or least 4) of the six Bluebook practice tests that are available, with a couple of weeks in between each one. And then after each test, try to figure out which areas (i.e., which specific concepts or question types) you are struggling with the most, and focus on improving in 2-3 of those areas between each test. I have tried to make videos about all of the different R&W question types, but the Khan Academy's website is good in terms of showing all of the different categories, both for verbal and math. www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/sat-reading-and-writing-2022 www.khanacademy.org/test-prep/v2-sat-math For the R&W questions, I have four separate playlists for the main four broad categories of questions: Craft & Structure: ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG6vw6KYSjt2q2IeWBsCHCYi Information & Ideas: ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG4pqgDDOERkaF1i4PR1rW0V Standard English Conventions: ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG7ViYeJBjNoAf7TBbVEus1l Expression of Ideas: ru-vid.com/group/PL75qpqDuVbG4OTYxO3GbbenrM862ucfa7
Not necessarily. If you think about the idea of the "gap" in the argument (which is often an unstated assumption), it's definitely possible for the answer to be something that isn't directly stated in the passage.
There are usually 1-2 questions like this per test. I have a few other videos with more examples: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kkC5zDmiAxw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oWJ0X9W7zKE.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UchUZCupw1A.html (ACT questions, but still relevant to the SAT since it's the same basic concept being tested)
Thank you for the nice comment. I will have an updated version of this video up soon, since some of the information is a little out of date at this point. Stay tuned....
It would if this were a normal graph. However, since the x-axis measures years before the present, you have to read it from right to left (and not the usual left to right) to identify whether the Mn:Ca ratio is increasing or decreasing over a given time interval. If you trace the line/curve for the Alboran Sea backward from 10,000 years ago to 8,000 years ago, the Mn:Ca ratio increases, which means the oxygenation decreases over that interval. It's a very unusual and confusing graph-something I've never quite seen them do on an SAT or even an ACT.
@@345tutoring The reading sections were not too difficult. A lot of words from your vocab list showed up. The math mod 2 was insane. Overall, I feel pretty good.
Thanks bruda . Can you provide short tricks for idea ,purpose ,function and evidence type question to do quickly ?And how to interpret the poem ? I can’t even understand what the poem is saying .
I do have some short videos on each of those topics. This page has a full list of my videos, sorted by topic, with links to each video. 345tutoring.wordpress.com/2023/06/25/an-overview-of-digital-sat-reading-writing-question-types/
Hey, I recently took the Practice Test 5 from the non-adaptive section. Could you please make some videos about the quantitative and inference questions from that test? I was especially confused with questions #16 and #19 from Module 1 in the reading section.
Here is one on #19. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KLdTHPF3ze0.html I made one on 16, but there was a mistake, so I will have to redo it at a later date. Sorry,
Here is the corrected version of #16. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V1oAd0HzM5w.html Thanks for bringing this one to my attention. Definitely a challenging question!
Hi sir, thanks for your video. I have one irrelevant question. In BB test 6, I got 20/27 for W&R test module 1, but my module 2 when to easy one. I thought if I get more than appoximately 16-18 right, I'll go to the hard module. I have no idea what's going on... do you know anything about this?
That's interesting. And definitely odd. I have not heard of that happening before. I do think it's likely that the precise cutoff point varies somewhat from one test to the next, but I have never encountered a situation before where missing only 7 would land someone in the easier module 2. I have actually had students who missed 10 or even 12 on earlier Bluebook tests still get into the harder module 2. So that is strange. Anyone else have issues with this on Test 6 (or any other test, for that matter)?
