<p>last time on CR 640, this time hopes OK
at least, I am not a bad reader.
Hey, do you think read black people literature may help, SAT really likes to take from African American writters…This is the first time I know this…</p>
<p>They take a lot from any ethnic group.</p>
<p>Several times I saw Chinese and Japanese, but mostly Black people…
Why?
Why not Vietnamese? :)</p>
<p>Ya I dont think you should prepare by reading black lit or something, because even then, that wont help you with the questions…</p>
<p>Edit: haha cuong, I think I do remember a passage on the Hmong people, but I think theyre mainly Chinese…maybe some in Vietnam?</p>
<p>[Sigh]</p>
<p>Anyways, TOEFL good means no need to have fever on SAT English. Echelon, you have to see my neck when I read the pair passages, like a giraffe or a duck…</p>
<p>Perhaps who want to have a long and attractive neck should take SAT</p>
<p>lol @ Cuong.</p>
<p>Does anyone else have any other questions on CR? I feel like this is the only section I did well on.</p>
<p>dude…im so scared…im a senior right now… and i want to study like crazy… 1 more time in January… is this possible if im still applying to universities…?</p>
<p>Ykim, this was my first (and dare I say, will be my only) actual SAT but I’ve taken around 12 practice ones (around 10 from the big blue book, 1 from Barrons (sucks), and 2 for Princeton (o-kay)). I usually get pretty mediocre scores on practice since I blow them off, but I actually concentrated on Saturday lol. I originally scheduled to take Oct 10th, but I was so stressed with school that I had to change it.</p>
<p>hey guys, i lost my power shortly after i posted that i was going to compile a list. but now its back and im working on compiling.</p>
<p>ha, ha, thanks for that effort</p>
<p>Thanks andreaaaaaa!</p>
<p>yeah… thanks andreaaaa.!sorry about the power outage.</p>
<p>Eat much tomorrow to recharge, adrea</p>
<p>Thanks andreaa! Page 12 might help you a bit lol</p>
<p>CR-
Chestnut tree-blight
Effusive praise
Newspaper-intellectually timid because they wouldn’t discuss controversial issues.
Manager-emulate… I thought the sentence meant that she was trying to copy the optimism of the sales team but found it was impossible.
Annual return of 5%-bitterness or dissatisfaction?<br>
Crazy theories-unable to test until the far future
Counterproductive-I’m positive.
Dennis’s shadow-Awe, I don’t see how dismay could be right
System-power structure
Shakespeare-conception was misguided
Indeed-persuasive logic, because the 2nd author is agreeing that Shakespeare had a large variety of knowledge
The one that didn’t fit-something about dramas. It says he knew a lot about warfare.
Discredit the 1st statement-people wrote first hand encounters of noble life something like that because it says in the 1st passage that Shakespeare could only have known certain things if he were a part of noble life
Passage one is glib-I am positive about this one
Woodrow-meticulous
Kid running out screaming-how she would have a positive future</p>
<p>I did not get the Puerto Rican passage at all. I put denounce critics of literary studies or something like that.</p>
<p>Writing-
I think I got around 4 no errors for each section.
Unlike lions, who live in prides, or groups, tigers hunt alone in the forest.
Papers and junk mail- put in the belly of the monster
Naivete
Indifference to or for? I put to</p>
<p>I got temper for the manager sent comp. Because she didn’t like it but couldn’t outrightly say so.</p>
<p>Dissatisfaction for the 5%</p>
<p>I can’t remember which exactly I put for the Awe or Dismay. I was pretty split on that one.</p>
<p>Kid running - extent that they went to fool the adults.</p>
<p>Puerto Rican one was decry or challenge a commonly used thing, because PR writers are split into either english or spanish but the writer felt that that did a disservice to everyone.</p>
<p>Naivete is right,</p>
<p>I think temper too, but “stop short of” is ambiguous…it could mean: “He all but killed the dog” or “Being a humanitarian, he all but killed the dog.” You see?</p>
