For those of you that had an experimental CR section, was it in section 2 of your exam (after the essay)? Thanks!

so far the CR experimental section consists of one of the following:

disneyland
sonny and edgar
mars and venus
cold war
shigeru miyamoto

were all of these in SECTION 2 right after the essay?

In other words was this the order?

section 1 - essay
section 2 - experimental section with 8 vocab, 2 short, 1 long passage
section 3 - real CR (8 vocab, 2 short, 1 long passage)

wait, for the creative writing passage, there were 4 questions, correct?
was "learning to write predated classes" and "useful but unnecessary" part of the same question or answers for 2 different questions?

also, was the dino passage purpose about a cultural change?

i think this hasn't been mentioned before, or at least the question was asked and no answer was posted... for #1 in a section the answer was "seeks" she didn't seek advice, she liked to do things on her own or something

hey guys there was a question that I put "stock" as a wrong answer.
I don't recall the question exactly, but it said something like,
The department store long time ago STOCK items from merchants.. is this the right answer? I thought it had to be stocked, past tense.

My experimental was the section BEFORE the real exam. That seems to be the norm where the experimental test is right before the real exam. However it can be in any section. Was this the case for everyone else?

For the dinosaur passage, one of the questions asked what the main principle of the prompt was.

Was the answer "Exploring a recent cultural trend" or "Discovering a puzzling phenomenon?"

I put down "Exploring a recent cultural trend" due to the passage referring to the yoyo cultural trend and the passage explaining why the dinosaur trend happened.

I didn't think it was puzzling since the explanation to the dinosaur trend was pretty straightforward.

It was a puzzling phenomena. It wasn't a cultural change because it wasn't a mass change in culture....as in it didn't effect everyone

I've been scanning through the forum and haven't seen anyone mention the long passage regarding the psychological tendency of succumbing to a collectivist mindset. The passage included examples of experiments where individuals were influenced by "group-think" where they would claim that a wooden stick was the same length as another when it really was longer or shorter. The passage was included in Section 2. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THIS?! Since nobody seems to have brought it up, I'm guessing it was an experimental section.
