October 4 SAT Critical Reading

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
821

<p>all right guys, i’m here to reconcile this ‘hypothetical scenario’ problem</p>

<p>first of all, if you remember the VERY FIRST word in the paragraph. (usually the first and last sentences of a passage contain fundamental clues that are useful in answering SAT CR questions)</p>

<p>the VERY FIRST WORD in that paragraph was…</p>

<ul>
<li>drumroll *</li>
</ul>

<p>SUPPOSE.</p>

<p>now, i think that implies ( if not directly STATES) a hypothetical scenario, doesn’t it? don’t read too much into the lines, you’ll get the question wrong.</p>

822

<p>It is hypothetical situation. We’re talking about Cars passage #2, para. #2?</p>

<p>The question said something like…: The author makes use of which of the following in paragraph 2?</p>

<p>Now, at the beginning of the paragraph (maybe one sentence before) it said “Now, suppose this situation.” SUPPOSE, hypothetical. Also, even if pointing out a fallacy was the PURPOSE of the paragraph, the question asked what the author made use of. I think anyway…</p>

823

<p>was there a sentence completion question with the answer “precipitous”? What exactly was the question?</p>

824

<p>where is everybody getting the word precipitous??</p>

<p>it’s precipitately</p>

<p>and yes, it is an answer</p>

825

<p>Let’s say i got 9 wrong this time. Can that be around a 710?</p>

826

<p>no… more than 8 wrong is usually less than 700…
b/c I got like 8-9 wrong on last year’s october test… and I got a 680.</p>

827

<p>yea my friend got 8 wrong in june sat CR and got 690 (no omissions)</p>

828

<p>i got 6 wrong in last oct sat and got 740…so it depends</p>

829

<p>that would be really cool, but highly unlikely</p>

830

<p>for the boston car passage (god how I hated that one) did any of the answers actually ‘involve’ (not really sure what the word is) “phenomenon” or no?</p>

831

<p>“i got 6 wrong in last oct sat and got 740…so it depends”
wow that’s a really good score… <em>is envious</em></p>

<p>whoops…double-posted. ><</p>

832

<p>anyone wanna compile}?</p>

833

<p>i believe that was the synesthesia passage.</p>

<p>anybody know what was the short passage before the synesthesia?
i know the second q for that passage was something like what will the author talk about possibly later in the passage? i dk anybody know what i’m talking about ?</p>

834

<p>well, i got an 800 on june’s CR
=O</p>

835

<p>it asked what the author what could be infered about with people who have this or something i think</p>

836

<p>“well, i got an 800 on june’s CR
=O”
lucky…wait…then why are you retaking the SAT? o_O;; haha…ambitious ppl. XD I’m like: at least 700: yay! whoopee! Hallelujah! XD
I hope I get at least 700 on this time’s CR… >3<</p>

837

<p>does anyone think that 1 or 2 CR questions will be thrown out entirely?</p>

838

<p>i retook it because</p>

<ol>
<li>i’m a junior, PSAT is in a couple weeks and i’d like to remain fresh at my skills lol</li>
<li>i got a 710 on W and M last time, my mom was expecting at least 800 on W and 740-750 on M, bc that’s what i was scoring on practice tests. so she made me take it again</li>
</ol>

839

<p><em>doink</em> …that’s an awesome score…all in the 700 range. JUNIOR??? <em>doink</em> So you took it when you were a sophomore? god you remind me of my cousin…smartsmart ppl…</p>

840

<p>how many do you think I could miss and still get an 800??</p>
