<p>im actually thinking a slightly higher curve. i took the may 2008, got -6, and 720. it was fairly easy but i made stupid mistakes. Took this one, looking at -6 but because it was actually hard lol. my hunch:</p>
<p>-1 800
-2 800
-3 780
-4 760
-5 750
-6 730
-7 710
-8 700</p>
<p>does the curve include penalty for guessing?</p>
<p>collegebound: do you mean -8 points off the raw score (so like a 59 out of 67) or do you mean 8 wrong?</p>
<p>lol now you’re making me question how I always assumed curves were written on this site </p>
<p>i always thought we posted curves as to questions wrong, assuming you answered them and got the points off (just because its easier that way). 8 wrong would be assuming you got 8 wrong by answering them. -7 is usually 700 so I based it off that.</p>
<p>^oh haha okay thanks.</p>
<p>so are we all positive that each of the answers on the compiled list is correct?</p>
<p>^ I’d say we’re as positive as we can be without official answers…</p>
<p>I agree with pretty much all of them besides one or two.</p>
<p>Does anybody remember the question for this one? “4. comics used as an educational resource” in the comic passage.</p>
<p>And this one, “6. principal audience” for the poetry passage.</p>
<p>i still think the answer is archetypal instead of unique.</p>
<p>is the food absurd or convenient?</p>
<p>and does the book have sentimental value or does it deliver the father from chaos?</p>
<ol>
<li>Foolish because hiding in the dark with a light is paradoxical</li>
</ol>
<p>Isn’t this one “obviously would be a dangerous situation”?</p>
<p>And the unique-archetypical one is unique, I’m 100 percent sure.</p>
<p>nah its paradoxical. it described the squid benefiting from that.</p>
<p>is the food absurd or convenient?</p>
<p>and does the book have sentimental value or does it deliver the father from chaos?</p>
<p>But if it’s paradoxical, why is it foolish? It could be paradoxical, but that doesn’t answer the question. It asks why is it FOOLISH. Being paradoxical wouldn’t make it foolish, as it’s just a state, not an act. It would be foolish because its “obviously dangerous”.</p>
<p>I put convenient.</p>
<p>I don’t remember what the book question was about though. sorry</p>
<p>i thought it was archetypal because the sentence talked about something constantly changing throughout the course of history. i think it then went on to say how it would be dumb to consider a change of some sort in this particular year ____. </p>
<p>Archetypal:</p>
<p>the original pattern or model from which all things of the same kind are copied or on which they are based; a model or first form; prototype.</p>
<p>Because the passage discusses the fact that this “change” had been taking place throughout history, “archetypal” fits. “it would be foolish to consider this year archetypal,” or the “first form” of such a pattern because this pattern of constant change had been occurring for years already.</p>
<p>Besides, this was the last question in the sentence completion section. why would CB make the correct answer “unique”, a word that everyone knows?</p>
<p>what was the question for the metaphor one</p>
<p>The passage says to the extent “it would seem foolish to hide in the dark by using a light, BUT the sea cucumber has a light that cancels its shadow”</p>
<p>this means that the sea cucumber uses light to hide, an indeed paradoxical situation.</p>
<p>metaphor was the title of a book…something with guitar in it. hope that helps</p>
<p>Hey, ace 22 tennis–</p>
<p>In the answer list posted, you said that the answer to the map question in the hiking passage was “misled her group.” Wouldn’t the more appropriate answer be “she didn’t find what she expected to find?” That answer could also imply the finding of the mortar/pestle. D:</p>
