| Oh, and yes, it was by an actor. I now realized the stupid mistake I made. |

| I also made that stupid mistake.
As for the indoor/outdoor passage, ouch. Apparently I did not understand it very well, luckily on the SATs 3/4 of the questions don't have very much to do with meaning  . | |

| Do you folks know when we get grades back? ...I'll be biting my nails until then.
I was in a state at the test, because all of my friends told me "test starts at 8:30..." so, ingeniously, what time did I arrive? 8:30! Well, I had to wait until 9:30 (the next test session) to begin, and since everyone else had already bubbled in their information and all, I was still bubbling when our proctor started the time! I got so flustered that midway through the test I was considered canceling my scores... I think my hysteria was uncalled for, in retrospect, and I'm pleased with how this discussion is proceeding. | |

| Bustles--Sounds like my worst pre-test nightmare!
Here is another question I have, about the passage with the actor and the playwriting and stuff: when the author says "what Verse can do, he has perform'd in this, Which he presumes the most correct of his", what is he most nearly saying? I answered that he had stayed within established literary guidelines, or something, because he talked about being sick of the orderlyness of rhyme. But I wasn't sure, because I might have misunderstood that entire passage. | |

| omg the attic/living room one....is it past and present interdependent??
and obasan was ironic to a spider..something like that?
and what shows time passing? yellow id card and youthful face?
and i thought fetters were words.....but maggie was definitely diplomatic!
maybe it's just me, but i loved that passage about the man who couldn't express his love physically/emotionally. it seemed really beautiful and deep. the spider descriptions grossed me out though.
how many can you miss and still get 800?
and i put dove/bird for the guy who couldn't express his love. i was stupid and didn't read the rest of the answer choices though cuz i never saw anything about a lily. | |

I don't know what the second thing that you're talking about is.
Time passing is shown by old letters and photographs (that was my answer).
Fetters was definitely rhyme. Maggie being diplomatic is one big question-mark.
Getting an 800 depends on a number of things: 1) curve 2) how many you got wrong 3) how many you omitted. The only way to ensure beyond a doubt that you got 800 is by getting every single question right.
HOWEVER... for the hell of it, on a typical scale for a lit test, only raw scores of 61, 60, and 59 will result in a score of 800. Good luck.  | |

He met and exceeded all literary standards or whatever it was... I used POE for that one, don't think anything else made sense. | |
