SAT Reading passage unfair?

<p>I’m going through practice test #3 of the blue book and theres a passage about yawning. It even says in it that people who read something about yawning might actually yawn. Does anyone else think this unfair? I caught myself yawning twice while reading it (well, i guess it was boring too haha) Yawning could be a distraction in my opinion =P</p>

<p>lol i know how that feels. when I read boring passages my eyes lose focus while my mind wanders off and i forget about the extract for like 5-10 seconds.</p>

<p>The point isn’t that the text is boring, it’s that thinking about yawning makes people yawn.</p>

<p>Oops I saw “yawning” and automatically assumed it was because the passage bored him</p>

<p>I read that passage just yesterday! I actually found it to be interesting (well, compared to many other CR passages…) so I thought it compensated for any yawning it might’ve subliminally induced. I thought I would feel compelled to yawn but surprisingly, I didn’t.</p>

<p>Everyone taking the exam will have identical reading passages.</p>

<p>I know I’m bumping an old thread, but…</p>

<p>Heck yes! I yawned 3 times while reading this whole passage lol</p>

<p>EDIT: Yawned right after I posted this haha</p>

<p>Started to take deeper breaths after reading your post… help! help! help!</p>

<p>YAWN YAWN YAWN</p>

<p>I’m starting to think that really was a bad passage. I mean, it literally said “Sometimes people yawn just from reading about it.”</p>

<p>That’s just straight up asking for trouble. It’s straight up distracting.</p>

<p>But I liked this passage. I got 24/24 that section :D</p>
