in rhetorical question of digital sat, there are question like, "the student wants to make a *_generalization_* about something something". what does *generalization* means in this context ?

@ivyleaguementors

8 ай бұрын

A generalization is a statement that is broad rather than specific. So, for example, if the student wants to make a generalization about plants, the answer should be about all or most plants, not just one type of plant or the specific plants in the experiment.

Just a note to add, “allows” is a SINGLUR verb, not plural. If you get confused, use a simpler noun instead of a gerund (verb+ing) The teacher allows. The teachers allow. (At the end when you repeated the sentence you said allows)

Please a video on graph questions

It seems like you're the second person to request this type of video. Here's what I wrote in another comment, but it is relevant to you: I plan to make a video on graphic questions soon, but unfortunately it won't be ready in time for the test this month. So, here's my quick advice for this type of question: Read the question first. Most graphic questions on the DSAT will ask you to use information from the graphic to logically complete a text. If that is the case, figure out what kind of information would logically complete the text. Then look at the answer choices, and cross off anything that doesn't give you that information. If more than one option remains, check the answers against the graphic to make sure they are correct. However, in many cases you won't even need to look at the graphic.

This video was very helpful. But I am still getting a lot of questions wrong due to topic 3 (subject and verb agreement) even though I understand the basic idea... Do you have any additional tips about this kind of question? Thanks!

@ivyleaguementors

10 ай бұрын

Good questions. I may make another video on the topic, but here are two tips that I think will help. 1) The subject of a verb is never part of a prepositional phrase. 2) The subject of a verb will never be separated from the verb by a single punctuation mark (although it may be separated by two punctuation marks, such as a phrase surrounded by commas).

well, based on patterns I saw in the college board subject verb agreements questions, I recommend looking at the answer choices; if u saw 3 plural verbs and 1 singular one choose the singular one and continue the exam with confidence. These patterns are repetitive and if u dont trust me go ahead and see them on your own. Hope that offers some solace and allays your fears on such questions!

Hello. Thanks for the video. Should we also write essay in DSAT? If yes, is it optional? I’m in a non-native country. How can I apply to Canada, The USA, and so on after my SAT exam? Thanks in advance for your help.

There is no essay section for the DSAT, so you don't need to worry about that. As for applying to colleges, the process for each college may be different, so I suggest that you check the websites for the colleges you are interested in applying to. For most universities in the US, it should be possible to use the Common Application, but again, you should check the websites for those universities first for instructions.

There is no list of ECs that is guaranteed to get anyone into a particular school. However, it looks like you have an active extracurricular life, so it is certainly possible to get into a school like Princeton with those ECs, assuming your grades etc. are high. Keep in mind that on your application, you'll want to emphasize not just what you've accomplished, but what these activities mean to you and how you've learned or grown through them.

Why cant 26 be C

@ivyleaguementors

3 ай бұрын

There are actually two #26 questions from different tests shown in this video. If you are asking about the text about the game Chutes and Ladders, the answer can't be C because the subject of the verb in the blank is "landing" which is singular, and "have allowed" is plural. If you are asking about the text about commercial plastics, the blank is preceded by a modifying phrase "Despite being, cheap, versatile, and easy to produce." What should this phrase modify? Clearly, it is commercial plastics that are cheap, versatile, and easy to produce, so commercial plastics must be the subject of whatever comes in the blank. Answer C says "commercial plastics' two associated problems." Don't be fooled by the fact that the words "commercial plastics" comes first. Note the ' after plastics. This means that it's just a possessive adjective describing "associated problems." Think of it this way: "commercial plastics' two associated problems" = "the two associated problems of commercial plastics." So, basically, if you choose answer C, you would be suggesting that the problems are "cheap, versatile, and easy to produce," which clearly doesn't make sense.

These questions are a bit too easy. Could you solve the beastly ones?😪 thank you so much for these though.

I agree that these questions are not especially hard. Actually, I selected them as relatively straightforward examples of the most common grammar topics on the test. But I would definitely consider making another video reviewing some harder questions. Out of curiosity, are there any specific questions that you consider challenging and would like to see covered?
