    Anyone reading this last second, Desmos can be used for:
    Mean (and I assume median, mode, etc.)
    Zeroes
    Inequalities (shaded ranges)
    Solve the variable systems (systems of equations with a constant a that satisfies some condition, just make a slider for a and guess and check)
    and probably more

    The second example, concerning TMAO: Answer D) is ungrammatical. A comma prefaces a co-ordinating conjunction when joining independent clauses. In other words, all three wrong answers are run-on sentences.
    Are these examples released by The College Board?

    While I think you provided a really good explanation for the TMAO question, I think there’s another explanation that is a bit more concrete. The sentence that begins with “The chemical” contains an independent clause. If one chooses answer choice D, there would be a 2nd independent clause at the end of the sentence in “TMAO is found in high…”. Therefore, if we are going connect two independent clauses, we can do so with a FANBOY such as “and”, but we can only do so if there is ALSO a comma before the “and”. Because there is no comma before “and” in that answer choice, it’s invalid and therefore must be choice A.

Mackenzie Lee's reply to my comment also explains it well. It is true that 99% of the time you should have a COMMA before a FANBOYS conjunction that is followed by Subject + Verb.

    and question is also can be explained like this: before and after blank we have two independent clauses. if we are going to use “and” between two independent clauses we need a punctuation like coma or semi colon

    well, graphing calculators have always been allowed on the sat. But graphing calculators are expensive and not everyone can afford them so the fact that the sat is allowing this tool makes it fairer for people who can't afford graphing calculators.

  • @JosephEntin
    @JosephEntin Рік тому +5

    tbh you could still do some of that on a graphing calculator. you just have to write the equations in terms of y and graph them on a ti84 + ce and there is a button to find where they intersect

    • @SATPrepTutoring
      @SATPrepTutoring Рік тому +1

      On Desmos, you don't have to reconfigure the equation perfectly into y=mx+b, which saves time.

    Edit: I was wrong. See Mackenzie Lee's reply to me, and then rewatch the video. The video is 100% right!
    At 5:40 I think there's a more rule-based reason that the grammatical usage of AND in answer choice D is wrong. When a FANBOYS conjunction is followed by an independent clause (subject + verb + object), it must have a comma before it. In this independent clause, TMAO is the subject and the verb is IS.

    • @mackenzielee8589
      @mackenzielee8589 Рік тому +2

      This isn't correct -- it's more complicated than that, actually. Without the comma is completely grammatically correct; however, it would subordinate that last independent clause underneath the "that" restrictive clause -- "ensuring that IC and IC." With a comma, it would break this restrictive clause and function exactly like the period does, though it would certainly sound awkward. I think this is a wonky question, though, and don't expect it to appear again. FWIW an independent clause is only defined as (subject + verb) without a preceding subordinating conjunction.

    I'm extremely skeptical. Someone could be highly intelligent and still miss both of the verbal questions in the examples. When I took the exam 33 years ago, 1 choice was right and 4 choices were wrong. We didn't have to choose "the most logical and precise" word, but rather, the accurate word. The sentence completion was terse, not verbose. It was pretty easy to finish in the allotted time. The exam was pretty accurate at gauging someone's intelligence. Someone wouldn't have had a high GPA, but a low SAT score. The purpose wasn't to determine who is clever enough to attend Harvard or Stanford, and who the losers are who eat alone at lunchtime.

      I prefer the ACT for that reason, I feel like the SAT has more weird questions where a case could be made for multiple answers. Whereas on the ACT, if you understand the content well enough, it's pretty doable to go through a whole test without a single point off.

    You made the TMAO question unnecessarily difficult. Choice D is incorrect because it is lacking a comma before the "and." The clauses before and after the "and" are both independent.
