<p>i got 4 wrong with 2 omits for a 690 on the march sat…so…720 maybe?</p>
<p>Hatred is right for several reason</p>
<p>1) he read the damn book/shortstory/ whatever and said the guy doesn’t really love her. So if he doesn’t really love her in the book, why would college board go out of its way to suddenly say the guy loves her so much that it was with GREAT conviction. If he doesn’t really love her all that much, he would be sincere</p>
<p>2) Great- hmmm…- looking at the passage, it said with GRAVE SINCERITY…not with Great Pride or something like that. Grave Sincerity is closest to studied neutrality.</p>
<p>3) actually nevermind…just look at the two above. This is the last post ill make on this since Im too damn tired to argue. We will see who is right. Its just one question anyway, but I like these debates :)</p>
<p>one day, after I (hopefully) get into college, i will steal a College Board test and burn it and laugh my ass off</p>
<p>I put with great conviction because</p>
<p>Cecil said it with “great sincerity”, which means that he 100% meant what he said. “Great conviction” might seem like a strong word depending on the context, but by definition, “conviction” means simply that somebody is completely convinced by something. As Mr. Beebe started to suggesting some of Lucy’s possible faults, Cecil seemed quite anxious.</p>
<p>I don’t really know, this is just the feeling that I got when I read the passage. To me, “studied neutrality” would apply if Cecil simply said it. However, he said it with grave sincerity, which I thought means that he was really convinced that Lucy was perfect.</p>
<p>What Was the Jesse Jackson question. Are you sure it was an experimental one?</p>
<p>damn the firetruck problem…damn me for being so sure that the answer was 4 and not 6… i cant beileve i did that question twice and stupidly got 4 both times…omg…if i beat my 710 score…i wont deserve it for getting that problem wrong…lol</p>
<p>you’re right…because you’d deserve it for getting most of the other questions right</p>
<p>what was the answer to the question (2x)^3y-(2x)^y. Was it A? Thanks!</p>
<p>ok guess what i’m going to find the passage and post it.</p>
<p>no, it was C, i think</p>
<p>no…i think it was C</p>
<p>wait, what was C for? and what was the answer to the tray one?</p>
<p>this message board thing is so addicting, i wish i never came on. uggggh</p>
<p>about the great conviction/studied neutrality. although i put down great conviction and i’m still pretty much rooting for that answer, i really do see the reasons for “studied neutrality.” the reasoning makes sense, just by looking at the phrase “grave sincerity” you would say its tone is studied neutrality, but (having not read the book) i answered that question on gut instinct. in view of the whole passage, great conviction just seemed to fit nicely. i never even debated if it could be anything else. also, Hatred, the first questions after the passage is not necessarily the easier ones. often times, they start with medium and hard ones. it’s the math section that goes from easy to hard.</p>
<p>uhhh, Agrophobic, i think it was grave sincerity, not great sincerity. I put down the same answer as you, but now that I think about it, it probably isn’t right.</p>
<p>I put studied neutrality first, but then I realized that he was passionate about her and there would be no way his comment could be “neutral”. It wasn’t as if they were already arguing about it, and that would be the only context in which a “neutral” comment would fit.</p>
<p>for the cecil one, was it less disciplined or passionate?? I put less disciplined. Passionate seemed to be a big jump and a tad bit extreme.</p>
<p>I think I put less disciplined, though I’m pretty sure I got it wrong. I think there were 2 choices that suggested less disciplined and I picked the wrong one. Not sure though.</p>
<p>(2x)^3y-(2x)^y, does anyone remember which section this was in?</p>
<p>“on math experimental. First critcal reading sentence completions had questions i swear i’ve seen before word to word. Does anyone remember doing the same exact problems? I am so sueing ETS. maybe”</p>
<p>OMG YESSSS. i SWEAR i’ve done those problwems on a previous test too. i’ll sue with you =)</p>
<p>This may very well be an exercise in futility…</p>
<p>But if it helps anyone here are the raw to scaled score conversion tables from the blue book. (Remember, each incorrectly marked answer is 1/4 point off)</p>
