@HughHuang96824 was between “conflicted about his choice” and “realistic…” but i ended up going with the “realistic…” answer choice and my friend who always gets high score on CR said realistic too
@HughHuang96824 I put that too. I initially put the choice about how Saburo was wary about his abilities but then I changed
@yaytest33 when you say “realistic” are you talking about “realistic about Saburo’s abilities”?
@ShutYourMouth i disagree, there was more evidence that he was being realistic about his abilities because he talks about how we was afraid of a long distance running position and then he talks about how he wasn’t fast enough for a short distance. then, he says to his dad that the 800 meters was the “appropriate length” and how he wants to perfect one thing. he seems pretty confident and not conflicted. you guys read too much into the passage, remember that the SAT inference questions want you to stick to the information in the passage
@sateven what question are you talking about
@Shutyourmouth I don’t think that was on my test so yes, that was an experimental.
@rdeng2614 you mean the saburo passage? That was not experimental. I got an experimental writing section, so that couldn’t be.
@HughHuang96824 He was talking about the math section I mentioned (girl doing sit ups)
can anyone recall in detail what the writing passage question with “for one” vs “however” was? Apparently it was a fill in the blank at the beginning of a sentence sort of thing but I really need to recall what the question asked for in specific and some of the other answer choices to jog my memory. Please, this is very important
@ShutYourMouth im talking about the saburo passage where it asks about the interpretation of the “water through a net” and the mom’s attitude towards the dad’s words. it is substantiated at the link
@firered777 what was the passage about
Does anyone know for the Franklin passage if it was “not listening to advice” or “following the wrong course”? All I’ve seen is that both sides have good arguments for each of their answers.
For the wikipedia writing question, did anyone put “to make matters worse?”
@rdeng2614 I put “following the wrong course” though I think most people have been putting “not taking advice” correct me if I’m wrong
What are the arguments for “following the wrong course” as the correct answer
i think that not taking advice was wrong becuz just because they often went off course in the first passage it doesn’t imply it was intentional, besides wasn’t the map not made yet?? The second passage also talks about mail boats, so i thought it was a generalization (don’t believe me 100%!)
Did anyone remember the question of combination of two sentences in writing section? I struggled between B and D. D was like “compare to traditional dictionary being…”
official passage from saburo
…Chewing his food slowly-a habit from rationing days, when the rule had been one hundred times-Saburo let the academic words flow through him like water through a net. What he heard was his father’s voice: a voice like the universe, regulated and unknowable, with the endurance of silent planets rotating in their endless, solitary orbits…
I just thought veering off the course but what was the question asking again? Was it what both authors agreed on?
Did anyone get a math section that was talking about resistance and power in watts? i think that was my experimental but not sure
