2011 January SAT: Critical Reading

<p>My wrong are

  1. Idyllic
  2. Why the last line of the baseball one is ironic
  3. Tone of passage 2 of the baseball one
  4. Primary purpose of the last paragraph of grandma one (i put misunderstanding)
    -4 so far assuming i got 1-2ish more wrong
    Estimating 730-770 depending on the leniency of CB</p>

<p>Guys, does anybody remember the mercury poisoning question, or was that experimental? It asked what the author presented by the “problem”. Was it that mercury poisons our food supply?</p>

<p>And Idyllic wasn’t wrong I don’t think…</p>

<p>wait was idyllic wrong? please explain</p>

<p>i know it has been decided, but wouldn’t her getting cookies go towards privilege?
i put accomplishments instead of deeds for courier vocab</p>

<p>Yeah Interficio, I agree. I don’t think it was wrong.</p>

<p>misunderstanding and idyllic is correct</p>

<p>know im saying i put something else. i k idyllic was right. i just didnt know the definition on the test so i picked lurid instead (random guess).</p>

<p>Someone answer my mercury question! haha</p>

10/09 or 10/08 CR Curve
What do you guys think?</p>

<p>idyllic is 100 percent correct</p>

<p>in the vocab, there was surmise…deeds and ???..accomplishments and why wasn’t the latter correct?</p>

<p>misunderstanding is correct? most people put development as a writer for the primary purpose of the passage for the GMa. Someone reread the story again. I can’t decide.</p>

<p>was the 20 question experiemntal with the lady talking about urbans and fancy houses?</p>

<p>developmental is right. she starts off doing this for cookies (thus, why its a business transaction) and eventually does it for fun and gets into it (also explaining self-satisfied). So If you truly understood the story, that’s three automatic questions right.</p>

<p>20 Question was experimental…I had it too.</p>

<p>What were the choices for the goats/irony question?</p>

<p>actually the alaska/sesame street one might’ve been experimental I don’t remember… there was one short passage after the cuisine one in the experimental for me</p>

<p>yeah, i don’t understand the whole “development as a writer” thing
it doesn’t mention anywhere specifically that this is what she went on to do as an adult, or anything.
but really, i don’t want to argue over something we’re all unsure of.</p>

<p>i put “misunderstanding about the purpose of a letter”, but i was iffy about that one too. i think it was a terrible question.
definitely not the “immigrants” choice though.</p>

<p>oh ****, garfield you just reminded me of that question. THAT was the hardest question for me on all the CR. Is it because he knows the goats age for sure? I mean that sounds correct but the option I chose didn’t exactly phrase it that way. Whoever wrote questions for this month’s SAT need a training course in semantics.</p>

<p>classigirll, you can infer that that is what happened, also the small italicized intro at the beginning states that she is an author, reflecting</p>
