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?
Hey! I had the same misinterpretation. I have a perfect verbal score 5 times, so sometimes I get overconfident. If you really listen to the video, she explains it well.

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.
Hey! I had the same misinterpretation as you initially. I have a perfect verbal score 5 times, so sometimes I get overconfident. If you really listen to the video, she explains it well. 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.
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
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.
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.
I kinda don't agree with you on the second example, to use the period means you're starting another thought and there is no new thought, so it should be and.

yea as well as distance between 2 points
you have to enter it like -
distance ((2,3),(12,18))
are we allowed to use Desmos on the sat?? or does it have to be a graphic calculator
@br0wnsheep yes you can @Geeking_Out_On_Stem is posting shorts this week on ways to solve questions based on past test questions

Thank you so much. I shared this video in a group with thousands of people!!!

On Desmos, you don't have to reconfigure the equation perfectly into y=mx+b, which saves time.
Oh ! So you can DESMOS during the test is it?
Yes

Totally!
I just wanted to write the same ...
Yeah. And should there be a comma in your last sentence before the and as the last part is an independent clause haha or am I wrong 😂😂

33 years ago? The SAT has changed at least 2-3 times since then.
@@loribrooks5596 I might as well just wave the white flag, now. I wouldn't stand a chance.
they should've made math harder and erbw easier/ same, not the otehr way around
Erbw got a lot easier too ngl
the math def didnt get easier,,flashbacks of module 2
Bro I got all the module one correct then module 2 sent me to hell😂
Bro why do u want the SAT to be harder in any way?

That's not true. Look for my comment. She is 100% right.
Mine doesn’t have digital
Please suggest resources e.g books for the digital SAT
Do you need a tutor
khan academy has free lessons on the digital sat
@@shaymaaaldhawalim3967 it do have even I studied from Khan academy but the tutor is taking responsibility if one didn't improve they will get refund

It’s so easy to me❤
Is the PSAT going to be like the digital SAT? Would studying for the DSAT be better for the PSAT?
Yes, and yes. If you take the SAT in 2024 it will be digital. As of now, in 2023, it's an options, as is paper-based. PSAT is digital now- always.
@@loribrooks5596 Does PSAT have the DESMOS calculator?
I never heard back from u about the beta testing ???
I got a 1410 and am looking at applying to schools like WPI Bu and Northeastern should I take it again?
is it good to practice with gre critical reasoning or lsat ?
I got it right again❤
I got it right❤
Please answer, My son going to junior year-option of taking SAT in fall 23 (paper) or spring 24 (digital). What should he take? and why?
Digital is easier
im going into junior year too, i think you should let him do a practice test of each first and see which he prefers
Score +1450 on the SAT with my channel's content!
