2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>guys is it laughing at or poking fun of?</p>

<p>hey guys
i got 4 reading sections. is any of those experimental?</p>

<p>1st: baseball player’s age
2nd:Tribulation
3rd:writing for grandma
4th: pain</p>

<p>anyone know?</p>

<p>Haruku, I got the same 4, which means one of them must be experimental.
Hoping to god it’s the grandma one…</p>

<p>@haruku1001
I don’t believe so. I had a writing experimental section and had all of them.</p>

<p>■■■ i hope the curve is good. Anyone know any links online to any of the passages?</p>

<p>@Shirafune
i had 3 math, 3 writing and 4 reading…
so i guess i must have a reading experimental?</p>

<p>I would also like to know what people put for the one like ‘the politician decreased taxes in his city not to ____ the citizens but to ____ his reputation’</p>

<p>Baseball and tribulation were on the same section for me. I had an experimental on a scientists wanting to study invertebrates and crickets.</p>

<p>^
It was welfare and bolster, I think</p>

<p>dhast – That was the one with “welfare” as the first half of the option. I can’t remember the second half.</p>

<p>For the grandma one, what was the question with an answer " to show a common experience of immigrants to the US?" Was that the right answer?</p>

<p>CR was so ambiguous… based off the dissension on this board i got between 4-8 wrong… and normally CR is my best :cry: Thanks a lot collegeboard.</p>

<p>this thread makes me kind of sad ;(</p>

<p>i also had a passage about literacy…</p>

<p>i hope tribulation is the experimental, which is very unlikely</p>

<p>…anyone? The last one on the grandma section? Everyone seems to think it was about the formation of the writer… is there no way it was the immigrant answer?</p>

<p>It never talks about other immigrants except in a small aside.</p>

<p>It’s definitely not about immigrants…I don’t even remember anything about immigration. I put that it was to show a formative stage in the writer’s development.</p>

<p>I think it was development.</p>

<p>What is the similarity between ballet dancers and extroverts?</p>

<p>response to physical stimuli</p>
