November 2008 SAT Critical Reading

<p>highhopes:</p>

<p>haha me neither. I don’t know why I am remembering analogy…? I’m like 5 questions away from having the entire test (i feel like this is getting illegal haha). maybe i should just give up</p>

<p>By analogy you don’t mean the finding ancient pottery when looking for a ball or whatever? That one I remember lol…</p>

<p>what would getting 6 wrong be? I really hope its above 700. i need to break 700 cr so bad.</p>

<p>analogy was the pasteur book one; the woman talked about “quarreling friends” [the analogy] to try to explain her father’s attitude</p>

<p>-6 = 710-720 I would guess</p>

<p>any1 get candid instead of solicitous?? she was candid… something deceptive… only used people for her gain?</p>

<p>I’m hoping for a 600… how sad is that? =[</p>

<p>Nah, because it said like: she faked a _____ attitude, but actually was using people.</p>

<p>The necessary word has to describe the fake attitude, e.g. solicitous…</p>

<p>what the questions corresponding to the metaphor, nuance/complex, authenticity, and discern answers?</p>

<p>but wouldn’t her candid (honest) attitude be deceptive??</p>

<p>^that’s what i put and still think is true…i think few of the “definite SC answers” are wrong</p>

<p>yea…but solicitous seemed to be the consenus n i looked it up in the dictionary…kinda makes sense but i dono hard to say…</p>

<p>collegeboard willl post the answers tomorrow at 3pm PST</p>

<p>What are you talking about hopeful?</p>

<p>I think the curve will be=</p>

<p>-1 800
-2 800
-3 770
-4 750
-5 740
-6 720
-7 710
-8 700</p>

<p>I think around 8 wrong is fair to get a 700; sentence completions were definitely difficult and a couple of passage questions were tricky. other than that, we shouldnt expect a better curve, just normal.</p>

<p>really? collegeboard puts up answers on their site? for free?</p>

<p>I hope -4 is 750. That’d be a nice surprise. :slight_smile: But I think I’m most likely looking at a -6 or so, I’m just in denial…</p>

<p>Haha don’t worry highhopes. I came out of the test thinking I got around a 750+ and now I’m begging for a 710ish. I got stupid questions wrong</p>

<p>did everyone put solemn for the woman?..i put irate b/c i changed it from solemn thinking it was wrong:-(</p>

<p>I put solemn, yeah.</p>

<p>I think my worst case scenario would be a low 2200 at this point… And it’s all CR’s fault. I haven’t missed a writing or math q yet! Ugh!</p>
