<p>are we allowed to openly discuss specific questions after the test? I heard something that you aren’t allowed to say anything specific about it. just a thought…</p>
<p>altered —revolutionized</p>
<p>haha, no we are not allowed to. we are going completely against the rules. lol
i got altered-revolutionized.</p>
<p>vindicative?</p>
<p>how many sentence completions are there all together?</p>
<p>19 …</p>
<p>are you on aim?</p>
<p>Hey guys, there are a few answer choices that I don’t agree with that are marked as ‘concensus’ –</p>
<p>For the niece/uncle one and how the uncle’s threat was baseless - couldn’t it be E) absurd…blah blah because the uncle tried to intimidate her but did not succeed? Instead the niece seems to be more dominant than the uncle?</p>
<p>Why would the passage with the horse be “metaphorical technique?” What was the metaphor? He was trying to describe what a nice evening it was out and trying to ‘appeal to the emotion’ by sensorally describing everything…</p>
<p>Also, why would it be ‘bleak future’? By asking that rhetorical question and looking up at the sky, he is appealing to a higher source for some intervention - he wasn’t really talking about her future.</p>
<p>Finally, what about the last question in the African passage? I really do not think it is “broad generalizations” because he analyzed two idioms and examined the causes that connected the two people groups in a scholarly manner.</p>
<p>I thought CR wasn’t so bad, but it appears everyone disagrees with me on these points. I scored 800 on the last CR, so if these are all wrong I’m cancelling my score. Thanks!</p>
<p>metaphorical techniques= personification which was used</p>
<p>yes baseless</p>
<p>firefox115 , I agree with you so much , just so much</p>
<p>glad to hear you scored 800 on CR!! :)</p>
<p>what do you guys think 2 omit, 5 wrong would be?</p>
<p>720 - from the Oct 05 curve</p>
<p>firefox115, the october 2005 test? isn’t that pretty old?</p>
<p>i omitted 3/4 and got about 5 wrong; can i still get a 700!!??</p>
<p>Why is the beaver/ants question “natural impulses” and not “different environments”???</p>
<p>Does anyone actually know what the passage with the horses and the Hale-Bopp comet is from? I was interested in reading more while I was taking the SAT.</p>
<p>Lol people, transformed/viable and altered/revolutionized are 2 different questions. the first one was the making light bulbs cheaply. The second one was about the universe and a new theory.</p>
<p>firefox:</p>
<p>The niece/uncle one was definitely baseless - do you remember the rest of the absurd option?</p>
<p>I don’t think the horse one was appealing to emotions exactly, but I also don’t think it was metaphorical language (as far as I can tell, he used about one metaphor in the whole thing). I put flashback, as he was describing something in the past quite vividly… not sure about that one though.</p>
<p>In context, he wasn’t asking for intervention - there was something in his dialogue which suggested he was concerned about her future. He was sort of lamenting about what would happen to her.</p>
<p>I completely agree on your last point - it is almost certainly not ‘broad generalizations’. I would put scholarly analysis - he took things and examined them quite thoroughly. Generalizations can be used in scholarly analyses - what makes them scholarly analyses is what you do with those generalizations. I also put ‘examining the cultural ties between two nations’, but again, not sure about that one.</p>
<p>hey can anyone post all the answers to the CR S/C</p>
<p>i am thinking about cancelling my scores… since i got 3 mistakes on math and so far 4 on the Passage, and like at least 3 on the S/C, it was very hard this time around. Probably got 4 wrong on the S/C, which would be an all time worst. But it would sitll beat my previous 640…</p>
<p>this was my 4th time taking the test and final time… now im mad, i couldnt get 700 on CR -_-</p>
<p>how will the curve be like compared to jan/oct 2005 which is 8 wrong = 690?</p>
<p>I am probably cancelling my scores and giving this another shot in Nov.</p>
<p>So far I probably have -6 in CR (and I scored 800 in CR in June)…I retook this exam just for the Writing (which I’m fairly sure I scored 750+ on) - but I don’t want my CR be low 700/high 600…</p>
<p>Ok guys. Listen up. Think about it. Its generalizations. EVERY SENTENCE ALMOST USED A WE. Hes thinkking that all african americans think of him. Trust me he only used 1-2 anecdotes. EVERY almost EVERY other sentence had a We at the start.
Also here was the ossify sentence
Creative buisness tactics are often _____ because of ________ : Their versatility and (forget word) are often messed up (cant remember) because of rigid politicization.
HOW DOES OSSIFY FIT THIS? If it was ossified it would be saying that they are STILL versatile which they are not. I put A because it was the only 1 tthat didnt make sense to me… But ossify makes 0 sense to me.</p>
<p>Also please tell me this. What was this Alden question about Thats not how teachers would teach it? Can someone give me other choices on this one? I really want to know what I put. I don’t think i put that one.</p>
<p>Oh yeah i am still arguing bleak future. The whole passage he was trying to convince her to marry him in some way. He uses guilt tricks etc. Like what are you going to do?
He just wants to get rid of her so he was looking for an alternative diversion (remember the answer to an earlier question?). He doesn’t care for her future at all… in fact I think he would want her to have a bleak future but thats my opinon. The passage as a whole is leaning towards alt. diversion.</p>
