no it was longer than that</p>
<p>OK so at worst I have 2 wrong on CR, which could still be an 800 right?</p>
<p>Scientists are not meeting the expectations of society.
I put this over elevated status. I think both answers are possible, but the passage implied that the scientists could not meet the expectations even with adequate funding.</p><p>Cautious > Illogical in my opinion, it was never stated that their actions were THAT extreme. Cautious was implied through behavior.</p>
<p>I put innovative over painstaking, but after hearing the arguments I may be seeing the light better.</p>
<p>The argument of “jealous” or “annoyed” is just plain stupid. Nothing implied annoyance, yet you have he “affected” that it was bad (a sign of jealous behavior), and brooded when he went home (jealous).</p>
<p>Yea it did. Also the other choice referred to the scientific “profession” having elevated status among society. Technically you could interpret that as high socio-economic status.</p>
<p>You and I have all the same answers except for innovative. I like how you think lol.</p>
<p>Also the passage talked about how scientists set such high expectations but underestimated accountability. So the idea that the scientists cannot meet the expectations of society is “partly supported”.</p>
<p>im 100% sure about 1. feined innocent instead of wry amusement and 2. scientific community failing to renovate their disciplines instead of th elevated status, trust me i found definite clues in the passages. i remember for the first one like 3 lines before the quote some mention about innocence blah blah and for the second one… the last part of the quote paraphrased “failing to renovate their disciplines blah blah”.</p>
<p>Are you sure that the scientists received adequate funding? The scientist seemed to imply that they could not make significant progress because the funding was not enough (he said “too much” was expected of them). Therefore, I was thinking that the answer choice about the lack of funding received impeded scientific progress. Does anyone agree?</p>
<p>Also, about the different interpretations of the specialization words in the nomads passage…for some reason I thought that the author seemed to express approval for the nomads’ way of life, rather than this simple/complex answer that seems to be showing up a lot? Anyone else agree?</p>
<p>i also put approval - disapproval for that</p>
<p>which ones were the experimental questions???
can someone list them out??</p>
<p>^ in my test the CR section that mentioned Shakespeare in the first paragraph is experimental.</p>
<p>its deff scienctists had an elevated status in society becuz it supports the whole passage, deff wry amusement because both the painter and the buyer knew that his paintings were not exact so they humored/amused over that fact (even though they tried being innocent, they did it as a way of amusement), deff cautious because it agrees with “american conservatism”</p>
<p>Can anyone post a list of all the words that were correct on the sentence corrections? I think I screwed up big time…</p>
<p>scientists did meet everyone’s standard. That was the whole point. they fed people stuff just because they knew the people would believe the scientists.</p>
<p>Hi. I’m new to CC. Yesterday was my first time taking the SAT (and hopefully the last) and I’m hoping for above a 2100. Anyways, does anyone remember a vocabulary question with the answer containing the word arduous? I read through most of the discussion here and didn’t see any posts regarding it.</p>
<p>I think I remember answering arduous for something.</p>
<p>I think that it said something about how most students find the task _________, but Ben (or something) completed the task with ease.</p>
<p>I put arduous too.</p>
<p>Yes that sounds about right. I had to guess on maybe 1/4 of the vocabulary questions and so far I know I only got one wrong! I thought that other than the vocabulary the critical reading section wasn’t too bad.</p>
<p>i put arduous
im almost 100% sure im right</p>
