January 2009 SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>he tried to make the public feel sorry for him by casting himself as the hapless inheritor of a bad economy caused by the mayor who preceded him</p>

<p>i think for the sea nomads question one, it was “significance of loss of scientific knowledge” or something like that. I don’t think there was anything about them leaving.</p>

<p>OH i remember the question but i dont remember what i put, but i dont think i put hapless</p>

<p>If I’m pretty sure I only missed 1-5, and only left 5-8 blank, what should my score be on the CR section?</p>

<p>It was a BREEZE for me, but I only finished like 3 of the 10 sections (not including the essay, so I guess 3/9)</p>

<p>thanks phlpsun… i went 18/19 on SC… got that last f***cking one wrong. I didnt see “bad economy” whn i was readin it</p>

<p>i think i put portrayed as the first blank for the bad economy question, does anyone remember the second choice for portrayed?</p>

<p>i went 17/19 =/</p>

<p>oh yea what was the answer to number 1?? it was suposed to be the easiest one but it was kinda confusing for some reason</p>

<p>it was about some girl who didnt like her fathers authority</p>

<p>thats was limitded…independence</p>

<p>for the fathers authority i put limited…independence</p>

<p>^answer was the significance of nomads leaving(i think it was worded in a different way). It can’t be about the significance of loss of scientific knowledge because there is an abundance of technology and science.</p>

<p>Basically that whole nomads thing was about the importance of maintaining biodiversity, not only throughout our standard idea of the ecosystem, but also throughout human societies. Every juxtaposition between the Baeja (or whatever) or urban/industrial (homogenized) society was meant to lift the former up and put the latter down.</p>

<p>1 wrong = 800?
2wrong = 790? any chance?</p>

<p>Are we allowed to be talking about this?</p>

<p>It was hapless</p>

<p>^ The embargo is lifted.</p>

<p>Why was the “specialization” question overly complex?</p>

<p>I almost fell asleep during the passage about the sea nomads… I don’t think I did very well on those questions</p>

<p>what was the other choice for hapless?</p>

<p>it was deff hapless… can someone reiterate the specialization/overly complex question please? just put question and answer</p>

<p>The first specialization was referring to the scientific knowledge, which I thought was “overly complex”. I dunno…for my answer, I marked the one that had the phrase “overly complex” in it.</p>

<p>^ was it in the normads or scientific method?</p>
