<p>Sorry, one last question xD: how much would a CR score be with 2 wrong? :O</p>
<p>Nope. It was urbane/erudite.</p>
<p>& one main reason why I think that is because the line that question referred to was only “it wasn’t funny. it hurt me” part, not the whole other dinomaniac classmate getting called names</p>
<p>The Copenhagen plan (aims to/is aimed to) _________________.</p>
<p>Which one was right? 1st one is more succinct and in active voice, 2nd is more logical but passive voice :/</p>
<p>Thanks Mollified!</p>
<p>Also, the CR question in the Yo passage about the mom beating her knuckles against her head…what did y’all get. I put “teasing” or something to that effect.</p>
<p>@SwagDaddy - it was teasing. all the other answers were logically ■■■■■■■■</p>
<p>I wrote two full pages (to the last line) with two thorough examples and good language. Do you guys think I have a high chance of getting an 11/12? I’m really banking on a good essay score.</p>
<p>@studious it’s a crap shoot man. i need a 11/12 to get a 2400 and i’m quite unsure of my essay too</p>
<p>@kimchi can’t tell if trolling or serious.</p>
<p>Leinad27 - 2 Wrong on CR, you’re looking at a 780-800 (for CR the curve is always different so we can only consider a possible range)</p>
<p>@BroDudeMan</p>
<p>maybe it’s the wife’s way of being ‘romantic?’ haha</p>
<p>@grape
you point to “it wasn’t funny. it hurt me”
wasn’t that question referring to the entire first paragraph? Even if it was only referring to that one line you mention, that’s still belittling. What answer did you put?</p>
<p>I actually knocked my knuckles against my head during the test to see if it gave me any sort of feeling…I felt like an idiot. And the testwriters should have felt like idiots as well…but at least I got it right. Thanks.</p>
<p>StudiousMaximus-
Unless the essay readers are specifically mean to you, that’s at least an 11.</p>
<p>@coolpillow - haha during the test i was like “next time a see a girl do that i know she’s dtf”</p>
<p>but in all seriousness i think the logic behind it was that the daughter and the father share the same thinking in a way - so by tapping her head, she’s indicating that they share the same mind</p>
<p>it might have been ridiculous at first, but when you actually break down the motions it’s logical</p>
<p>I don’t think so. It did specifically referred to the meaning/inference of those lines. I was honestly stuck between those two, but I don’t remember which one I put down cus I went back to it at the last second. But when my friend convinced me that it sounded logical enough so I thought that was the answer.</p>

<p>ADD on!</p>
<p>& i understand why it’s belittling. It’s because the author was hurt. But I think the question did ask what you can infer or that line meant. Or else I wouldn’t have thought about it as long.</p>
<p>Like I’ve said, “it wasn’t funny” means that the author didn’t think it was funny, which means someone else must have thought it was funny.</p>
<p>Which IS belittling, like you said, but that’s directly stated in the previous lines. I don’t think the question asked for “what did the kids do to the author according to the lines x-y in the first paragraph?”</p>
<p>It was more like “what does line x-y mean/imply?”</p>
<p>Plus if they gave you line numbers I don’t think they also state which paragraph the line’s in. Meaning the question wasn’t really referring to the whole paragraph but just that line</p>
<p>normally, this is just a tip, if you have to think that long for the first couple of questions in a CR passage, you’re probly overthinking.</p>
<p>I knocked my knuckles on my head during the test, too! Acting out the motion assured me that the answer was “teasing.”</p>
<p>For reading, the one about deep sea marine animals, I’m pretty sure the answer was “defy, disparity”…If someone else seconds that I think we could that add that on as well.</p>
