I'm planning on it. It isn't likely it will be out this week, but for sure before the November exam.

I'm planning on it. It isn't likely it will be out this week, but for sure before the November exam.

Thanks! You keep up the good work as well, and hopefully you'll get that score you're looking for.

"Not possible" is an absolute statement, as I believe I explained in the video. We want language closer to "not likely."

Nice! That's a great choice.

You're welcome!

@@TestPrepDad thanks

No, the answer is A. Imagine you're hiking a trail that only has mile markers every 10 miles instead of every 1 mile. If you check your progress every 10 miles, you notice the average increase in elevation is about 96 feet every mile, even though you're only looking at your position every 10 miles. Similarly, in this problem, the equation of the line gives us an average rate of increase in minimum wage, 0.096, for every year. Even though the scatterplot shows the data in 10-year increments, the equation still describes the change for every year. So, just like you know your average gain per mile on the hike even though you’re only checking every 10 miles, the minimum wage increased on average by 0.096 dollars per year, even though the graph shows data every 10 years. So, the answer is A, because the slope of 0.096 tells us how much the wage increased each year on average. The yearly increase is steady, even if we’re looking at 10-year increments.

@@TestPrepDad thank u so much!!❤️

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Thank you so much 😀

I don’t offer trial classes because they tend to devalue the expertise and effort I put into long-term tutoring. Instead, I recommend checking out more of my TH-cam videos for a preview of my teaching style.

Glad it helped!

You're welcome, and sorry for the delay. These videos take a long time to make, and I have A LOT of requests already. I am trying to prioritize what the majority of viewers are asking for.

@@TestPrepDad okay I will wait patiently Thanks you so much

You're welcome 😊

Thank you. I am definitely going to put out a punctuation video (or several for each punctuation mark). A lot of viewers are asking for it, so it might be sooner than later.

The answer is C. The question step says "casts doubt on" so we want an answer that is shown to be incorrect. See my previous conversations in the comments about this.

That's the exact strategy I taught in the video-I just call it the odd verb out trick. 😉

Thanks for the tip! I noticed those more challenging rhetorical synthesis questions in the practice exams, but nothing like this has shown up on the actual exam just yet.

@@TestPrepDad it happened to one question of the second module of my august. be weary tho because they may start to change it

Interesting-none of my students who took the August exam experienced that. Perhaps it was a different variation. Again, thanks for the tip, and I will certainly be on the lookout.

You're welcome!

I'm rooting for you. Keep working at it, and good luck!

If you look at the graph, you can see it increases way more than 10 cents every ten years (closer to a dollar), so if you divide that by 10, it's increasing that smaller amount every year.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm definitely planning on making more topic-based videos. 🤓

Check out sat mastermind is pretty good for that

I've got two more predictions videos coming out before the October 5th exam-one focusing on reading and one on math. Good luck!

The answer is indeed C as explained in the video. The question stem mentions “cast doubt on,” so to cast doubt on the idea that the depictions are realistic is to believe the depictions are not realistic. Does that make sense?

@@TestPrepDad yes but it says that "THEY SHOULD" be taken as realistic representations, choice C agrees with the intial claim in sentence 1 and does not agree with sentence 2. I am almost certain it is choice D.

Again, the question stem “casts doubt on” negates this. I misspoke when I said “should not,” but I can assure you it is C. Feel free to check College Board’s answer key.

@@TestPrepDad Totally understand, which bluebook test is it from?

@@its.Ishanth All these questions are from the question bank. I don't use questions from the exams because I don't want to accidentally spoil them for students working through them.

THANK YOU! 🤓

Noted! You're the second one to ask, so I will definitely be making one at some point.

No, the answer is A. Sorry if I did not explain it well enough in the video. Regardless of how increments are labeled on the graph, C and D are not true. D has the wrong slope numbers altogether (it uses the y-intercept), and C is wrong because we can see on the graph that every TEN years, it goes up by almost a dollar, not by almost 10 cents.

You're welcome!

Thank you. I just started the channel, but I will be working to eventually cover all question types. For now, my predictions videos will have a nice mix of questions, and if you have any interest in tutoring with me, you can use this link: calendly.com/testprepdad

Good call-I'll make sure to put that on the to-do list. 🤓

Yes please! Really need help with these

Graph qs pls.

You're welcome. I am planning on it-yes.

For sure. I'll put that on the to-do list for upcoming videos.

Just keep working at it for this last stretch-good luck!

@@TestPrepDad Thank you... i spend almost my whole day everyday studying

Thank you! 😊

No-I explain in the video that a=2. If we isolate the coefficients on both sides we get 2x = ax. Likewise, if we isolate the constants we get 16 = 8a. You're RIGHT that the gradient (slope) should be the same, so that's another way to quickly conclude that a must equal 2 since the slope is 2.

@@TestPrepDad got it , thank you

I appreciate that! I'm only 3 videos in, so hopefully it will happen.

Awesome, thank you!

I’m rooting for you! Let me know how it goes.
