When you input a constant, Desmos will automatically give you a slider to set the value and the preset value was 1. I didn't change it because it shouldn't matter. The question says n is a positive constant, so it should get same result for any positive constant. If you are concerned, you can always move the slider around and see for yourself.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to publicly share that kind of information. However, I bet you could find some just by searching Google. Just be careful. A lot of bootleg copies floating around out there have typos or other issues, and the answer keys (if they even have answer keys) often have a ton of mistakes. Glad you found the video helpful and good luck!

Not bad considering these are some of the hardest questions out there. Just study the ones you got wrong carefully, and hopefully you'll do even better on the real test

Did I? Maybe my D sounded like a B, or maybe I misspoke. Anyway, you're right. The correct answer is B, and it's D that can be eliminated.

A comma splice is when a comma is used to connect two complete sentences. In this case, the part after the comma is not a complete sentence, so it's not a comma splice.

The part after the and ("what... ocean.") is not a complete sentence. If you want to get technical, it's a noun clause. That means a clause that functions as a noun in the structure of the overall sentence. Think about the main sentence as this: "the team was able to determine THING A and THING B." THING A is "how current-driven mixing varies across regions" and THING B is "what impact it has on the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean." Both THING A and THING B are noun clauses. Although a noun clause has a subject and a verb, it can't function on its own.

Not as it's written in Answer B. If the writer meant to suggest that Rabinal Achí were the name of the king, it would need to be followed by a comma: "Based on events that occurred when Rabinal was a city-state ruled by a king, Rabinal Achí, ..." However, without the comma following it, Rabinal Achí becomes the subject of the main clause of the sentence rather than a nonessential modifier of the noun "king."

Nice job!

doesn't get any better than that

Great question! Non-essential phrases are generally surrounded by commas. However, essential phrases should not be. Some phrases are objectively essential or non-essential, but it some cases, it's a question of emphasis. In this case, the author could have surrounded the phrase with commas, although that would have subtly shifted the meaning of the sentence. Don't worry, you will never be tested on punctuation in an ambiguous case like this on the SAT. However, regardless of whether we consider the phrase essential or non-essential, it still interrupts the sentence by separating the main verb (ejected) from its only logical subject (blast). Therefore, it would not affect the answer to the question, although I suspect it would have been easier to spot the true main verb if the writer had used commas.

@ thank you.

Are you talking about Prediction 4? In that case, the algebra needed to solve it is so simple that I would personally find it quicker to solve manually. However, you absolutely could use Desmos, and for some students, that may be a better option.

haha thanks

The goal of the list is to help you get a good score on the current digital version of the SAT. Therefore, it includes words that are likely to appear in important places on the test. If you want to do well on the SAT, you should learn them whether you are a native or non-native speaker.

Only you are cooked

@ gonna see it

Why

I’ll tell you your fine my PSAT October 2024 was a 1060 my most recent practice test I got was a 1340 cumulative.

😂😂😂cooll bro

Thanks, glad it helped!

Thanks for the kind words. I recently converted the room I was using to film the 'student me' scenes into a bedroom for my kids... that's why he hasn't appeared in my most recent videos. But I plan to find a new space and bring him back in future videos, so you'll be seeing him again soon!

The part after the period ("Among. . . simplicity") would not be a compete sentence. This would result in a fragment, which is not acceptable according to the conventions of standard English.

you're welcome!

I've been teaching for 15 years, so I've heard all of these questions before 😂

If you're talking about my list, I think the link got broken when I updated the file. You should be able to access it here: ivyleaguementorsprep.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/essential-vocab-for-the-digital-sat.pdf

Here just doesn't mean ONLY. In fact, it means RIGHT AFTER. So, that critic found 2, not 1, right after he started reading. Does that makes sense now?

@@toxirshokirov9641 Ahh. Okay that is absolutely sense now. Appreciating

That's right. The implication is that even in the first two stanzas alone, the critic can find a lot to analyze. But it doesn't mean there's nothing to analyze in the rest of the poem. It means that's just the beginning, and there's probably much more as the poem continues. Thanks for stepping in and answering the question

A lot of students struggle with identifying the subject. One tip is that if something comes after a preposition it's not the subject. So we can easily rule out "black soldiers" as the subject because it comes after the preposition "of." And "the voices and experiences" can't be the subject because it's the object of "amplifying." How do we know this? Well, you can't just amplify. You need to amplify something. And in this case, that something is "the voices and experiences." You could also think about the sentence more holistically. What does this activist really care about? "AMPLIFYING the voices and experiences of black soldiers." If you're still struggling with this topic, I wrote a whole chapter on it in my textbook: www.patreon.com/IvyLeagueMentors/shop/dsat-reading-writing-ultimate-guide-pdf-328821

this is really helpful, thank u

The conjunction "and" only needs a comma before it when it is introducing the final item in a list of 3 or more OR when the part after it is a complete sentence. In this sentence, there is no list, and the part after the and ("what impact it has on the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean") is not a complete sentence.

Whatever goes at the beginning of the correct answer choice must be whatever the phrase "Compared to that of alumina glass" describes. We might not know what "that" refers to, but it must be some feature or aspect of alumina glass. So what can logically be compared to some feature or aspect of alumina glass? Answer B puts "silica glass" first. Silica glass can be compared to alumina glass, but it can't be compared to a feature or aspect of alumina glass. However, Answer D puts "silica glass’s atomic arrangement." Now, we are comparing the atomic arrangement of silica glass to the atomic arrangement of alumina glass. (Note: if the sentence began "Compared to alumina glass" instead of "Compared to that of alumina glass," B could be the correct answer)

The answer is A. The phrase "In assessing the films of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa," must logically modify "many critics." It cannot logically modify "there," which means that C can be eliminated. When you see this kind of pattern on the SAT, all you need to think about is who or what the introductory phrase describes and put that first.

I don't think I will have time to make another video by December, but I did recently release a video on the hardest reading questions: ua-cam.com/video/IhWiMWq3VhE/v-deo.html

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome 😊

The part "among them Nigerian American essayist and novelist Teju Cole" is a nonrestrictive phrase. In other words, it provides additional information that is not essential to the meaning of the sentence. In general, this kind of phrase needs to be set aside with a comma. Does that answer your question?

@@ivyleaguementors Absolutely. Thank you very much. But i still do not understand question 16. Why aluminum oxide is essential?

You could just remember that on the SAT, the name is almost always considered essential. Usually, it's the name of a person, but the same principle applies when its the name of a chemical. However, if you really want to understand why, it might help to consider the sentence without the name aluminum oxide: "Engineer Erkka Frankberg of Tampere University in Finland used the chemical to make a glassy solid that can withstand higher strain than silicate glass can before fracturing." This sentence may be grammatically complete, but it doesn't make sense. That's because it is clearly talking about a specific chemical, but it doesn't mention which chemical, so the reader would be unable to understand it without the name.

@@ivyleaguementors now if we remove the nonessential part and read it becomes: "writers ( removed nonessential because between 2 commas )who has . is grammaticaly wrong . please clear my doubt

Yes

I can almost guarantee you that you will see a question like #3 in this video. The topic has come up on every test this year, so make sure you understand. I'd also recommending checking out this video of 5 common grammar concepts, because you will probably see all of them on the test: ua-cam.com/video/d82bpshR4rI/v-deo.html
