October 4 SAT Critical Reading

<p>was there an answer with keen, satisfactory and sensitive?</p>

<p>yes… i believe so. for which q i cant remember</p>

<p>thanx jtop =]</p>

<p>and i consider myself good at CR as well, though i got a 51 on my freshman psat CR, i got a 76 on my soph PSAT and an 800 on june’s test (i did miss like 2 or 3 on june’s CR section though)</p>

<p>yes jtop, i believe that was the synesthesia passage (Short)</p>

<p>it was discussing something about wiring of the brain, and how even when the wiring is FINE, problems can occur.</p>

<p>it asked what fine meant in context, and it was satisfactory. keen was a wrong answer choice on that Q</p>

<p>i chose “practical means to their ideal” for the “in common” question in pipe painting passage.</p>

<p>wait StrangeIndianFoo u missed two or three and still got an 800 i didnt know the curve could be that generous i missed 8 last time and got a 670 i thought that was a bit harsh</p>

<p>jtop : yes… i believe so. for which q i cant remember</p>

<p>Yes, wry was an answer</p>

<p>i chose “practical means to their ideal” for the “in common” question in pipe painting passage.</p>

<p>what was the answer?</p>

<p>Did anyone get Edifying as an answer?</p>

<p>@ arlington:</p>

<p>i think i missed two and omitted one, or missed one and omitted one, something like that</p>

<p>really? my friend missed 8 and got a 690 on the june SAT, i looked at his scores too</p>

<p>Dude, wry was the answer?! Haha there’s something wrong my brain, I suppose the wiring isn’t “fine”, because after the second section, I hadn’t skipped one yet, so I HAD to answer every single question, regardless of whether I had any idea or not. I looked at that question and was just like, “AWWWWW MAN THIS ONE IS TOO HARD.” And wry was the only word I really recognized, so I just went with it. I’m nuts, I know.</p>

<p>hey ppl
it’s NOT genius and NOT industry</p>

<p>it’s influential</p>

<p>obvioulsy he was influential enough to keep authors to write about hime every yr</p>

<p>and influential enough to make industry out of him</p>

<p>i think the answer is “practical means to their ideal” for the question about “what’s in common between the mass production and art/crafts” which was the first question for the pipe painting question.</p>

<p>It not influential, its little known</p>

<p>i dont remember what i picked for the pipe one, that one was intensee.</p>
