@xxsantaxx I do not remember.
@RandomSATBaller
what did you put for the following questions?
1.misconception vs. bold reassessment
2.ominous explanation vs. genuine confusion
3.challenge student / do not believe in their ability / etc?
4.rationale vs. origin?
5.dismissive vs. incredulous?
I think 3 & 5… @xxsantaxx
three being the experimental I guess
describe roughly what the experimental was like.
@jsweets17 the consensus now is 1)implicit + explicit : still popular in modern times 2)if you are referring to the question (“the land =”) it’s necessary for civilization.
@supercalif: Well personally I got (to your questions):
1.misconception (don’t remember why this is right in terms of the context of the passage but I DO remember there was no “reassessment” and “bold” is a very subjective word that might not exactly explain it)
2.ominous explanation (ominous in the fact that it leads to the resolution that the internet changes the mind)
3.do not believe in their ability (definitely correct because they aren’t confident in their ability to articulate how “wowed” they are by good work so they focus on the minor details instead because they know how to convey that instead)
4.origin (had to do with the sentences immediately preceding that serves to signal a digression that would explain the origin of the zen philosophy)
5.dismissive (totally ignored them implying that whatever they had to say was not important)
so the answer for implicit vs explicit is not: atlantis is one of many historical topics discussed?
and for the farmers land question it was something like: what were the critics doing when they said “urban land is like a good conductor while farmland is not a good conductor” I said the answer was like analyzing stark differences in same position? what did everyone else say?
yea you got the right idea but that wasn’t the right answer. it was .5
how many questions were there about Plato? what about Atlantis? Pleased
@JuicyMango I really would like to agree with you about the origins answer (as I chose it), but the consensus is that the answer is rationale. Looking back, rationale does seem to make much more sense. Furthermore, the answer choice was “trace the origins of a philosophy”, and the word philosophy was in the indicated lines, which is always a bad sign.
I really hope I get an 800 in CR this time around. The only ones I’m not 100% sure about are…
- dispel misperception vs. bold reassessment Chose the former because people might perceive Zen to involve ignoring details, but the details were actually very important to the philosophy in a way. It wasn't reassessing insomuch as qualifying what was said before in a way that did away with any misconceptions that American students may have.
- rationale vs. origin Chose the former because it wasn't explaining origins like who formed the philosophy, the background of the philosophy, etc. It was providing the rationale for the mother's ostensibly mean practice.
- "do not believe in their ability" was correct on one of the questions, but there was another one where i chose "emphasize the unimportance of details." none of the others were supported by the text.
What were the experimental sections?
I got the same 3 answers alib
Everybody has different expirmental
Yes, but aren’t there 3 possible experimentals, math, cr, writing? I’m trying to figure out which of mine was experimental…
was “do not believe in their ability” and “didn’t want to share their passion” the same question? and are they 2 different choices or were they both the same choice?
was not sure about 2 writing questions:
I put no error for sufficiently enough (I think this is wrong)
I put contrast with on the sinuous question<--------anybody get the same???//???Please, this could cost me an 800
@ambitionsquared do you remember the exact wording of the answer choice? is that “explain the rationale of an action”? action referring to mom’s action/attitude?
I remember the reason why i didn’t choose “rationale” is that it says rationale of mom’s attitude/action … whereas the passage isn’t giving us a reason but is telling as a source.
I understand that I might be wrong though.
my understanding was…
since according to marriam-webster philosophy could be “a set of ideas about how to do something or how to live”… it could be understood as mom’s philosophy?
???
@ALibertarian did you choose “dismissive” or “incredulous”?
btw did you guys choose
“attention-grabbing pronouncement” or “eager to be part of the consensus”
good view = “adept/ample/etc”?
@supercalif The rationale answer choice was approximately how you described it. I’m not saying the word “philosophy” would be incorrectly used. I’m saying that the college board often includes actual words from the passage in incorrect answer choices. Which did you choose?
