SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>The passages were very comfortable to read and assimilate, but the questions/sentence completions were a bit tricky.</p>

<p>predicted = -4 = 750</p>

<p>According to past curves, -4=750 would mean this was one of the easiest CR sections (if not THE easiest) in the past seven years or so. Hard to believe.</p>

<p>Average is 770</p>

<p>-4 = -4x1.25 = -5 = 67-5= 62= 750. -4 answers wrong equals 750, predicted</p>

<p>Oh I thought they missed 3, so -3.75 → -4. But yeah if they missed 4 questions, then around 750-760.</p>

<p>What do you guys think a -7 will be plus 7 omitted in CR?</p>

<p>probably about a 640</p>

<p>So I think we can all agree that the writing question about sound waves had an error at D, in the “that of sound” part.</p>

<p>I forget what the exact sentence about the volcanoe eruption was though. For some reason, I said “occasionally” was wrong. Could someone please post the exact sentence and explain the right answer?</p>

<p>blbb6,</p>

<p>a majority of people believe that it is no error actually…</p>

<p>In regards to the sound waves.</p>

<p>i know this thread is kind of dead now but did anyone have a reading section with vocab like ribald, cursory, inhospitable? it was a very hard vocab section. i can’t seem to remember the passages. was this experimental?</p>

<p>Most likely experimental because I don’t remember any of those vocabulary words.</p>

<p>The answer was more speedier…Besides there’s no reason to even debate this question as this is the critical reading section forum not the writing section forum. good day.</p>

<p>I’m so nervous! What’s everyone predict they received on this critical reading section???</p>

<p>I’m extremely nervous as well…</p>

<p>I answered every reading question and know for a fact that I got at least one vocabulary question wrong. Since the quackery/humbuggery one isn’t set, I’m not really sure. I’m really hoping that I do not get more than -4 raw score though. With a little praying and luck, I think I can pull it of…</p>

<p>@magentaturtle I am in the exact same situation, so yeah…hopefully this goes well.</p>

<p>It would make things better if everyone on CC had come to a consensus on every question. </p>

<p>But, there’s doubt for A LOT of them so that makes me feel even more uneasy. That’s why I asked for a little luck: to get all the debatable ones right ^^.</p>

<p>Less than a week left.</p>

<p>When do we get results, the 16th?</p>

<p>Yes, the 16th.</p>

<p>They come out at 5 AM Eastern time.</p>
