<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>Could someone please remind me of the question (as much as you can remember!) for the one which everyone says the answer is disclosure? It’s part of the seahorse passage.</p>
<p>In regards to the outright condemnation vs. guarded skepticism, I put the former because condemnation by definition, regardless of connotation, means criticism. To get the right answer, we need to consider both words: remember, for the SAT, one keyword makes the whole answer incorrect.</p>
<p>Outspoken - Frank in stating one’s opinions, esp. if they are critical or controversial
This checks out, and as stated before, condemnation checks out.</p>
<p>Guarded - Cautious and having possible reservations.
This does not check out, making the whole answer incorrect. </p>
<p>One other controversial question was the “not wholly autonomous” vs. “unrealistically ambitious.” If you use the rule that says you read the line and down to the end of the paragraph, the answer appears to be “unrealistically ambitious.” If you read the passage as a whole, the answer seems to be “not wholly autonomous.”</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>it is acerbic/affronted</p>

I also had a section with DJs and puerile. I believe that was the experimental.</p>
<p>“what was the turing machine question in writing? Some guy called Alan Turing proved a machine could do something but only in theory”
why was this no error?i too put exist as the error. shouldn’t it be existed? at the time i was fairly confident haha. also, cdoes anyone remember the other 2 no error id questions? thanks</p>
<p>all right that’s great to hear, thanks.</p>
<p>someone want to compile a list of all the answers we have? i’ll do critical reading</p>
<p>What about what the author said seahorses were compared to other creatures such as sharks or rays:
a. subtle but particularly affecting
b. (something) but childish</p>
<p>@tomatox1 I put subtle</p>
<p>^^Don’t do that, I think collegeboard would have a problem with that.</p>
<p>OMG, i don’t think i can wait for 20 daysssssssssssssssss!!!</p>
<p>what would my score be?
math- 0 wrong
writing- probably 1-3 wrong
reading- probably 3 wrong?
also could someone please tell me why the alan turing question was no error. i though it should have been “existED in theory” thanks</p>
<p>^me too… I even emailed collegeboard and said it was an ambiguous question…</p>
<p>@sat12399: Math= 800, CR = 780-800, Writing = anywhere from 710-760 (being cautious, I’m not sure how much missing 1 on writing drops you by). Your prospects are looking pretty good, congrats!</p>
<p>About the Alan Turing question - can someone remind me of the sentence? I distinctly remember putting E for that one. I believe it’s because it still existS and didn’t just exist at one time and then go away. I might have the entire thing wrong, though, depending on what the context was.</p>
<p>EDIT: Never mind me, I think I may be remembering it incorrectly…</p>
<p>was everybody’s essay question the same? the one about whether imitation is necessary in creating something original and creative?</p>
<p>In 1936, Alan Turing proved that a digital machine, which at the time only exists in theory, could perform any information processing task. (something like that. The first part of the sentence is correct.) “at the time” <em>should</em> imply in 1936, so there wasn’t a digital machine then, but there is not, thus the past tense. It is like saying I did not exist twenty years ago, but I exist now.</p>
<p>
that’s a different one</p>
<p>the problem with the alan turing question was not the exist part. it was whether it should be <em>were</em> or <em>was</em></p>
