The *Official* I got beaten by the October 6 SAT Thread

Test Preparation

<p>i said it has a double meaning because surely if you split the word up, even and ing it means straightening or something like that </p>

<p>in the next sentence, there was reference to something on the lines of straightening…that was my reasoning anyway</p>

82

<p>Holy Crap…you guys…calm it down a little…u all did fine…dont worry about it so much…if you know u gave it ur best…and u did…then thats what matters…nothing else…congratulations…we are through with the SAT!</p>

<p>I really hate coming to CC, it’s ruined me. If I get like a 700 or something, I would be upset.</p>

<p>Screw you, CC.</p>

84

<p>I agree. I hate all of you lol, pointing out stupid dumb questions i misread, or ur interpretations of the readings.</p>

85

<p>

</p>

<p>i put 4 and that was C. so two must have been A or B.</p>

86

<p>i don’t think there was any double meaning associated with her pronunciation of ‘evening.’ maybe i was way off on this one, but i put that it pointed out her dialect, or something along those lines. (some old folks down here in the south tend to add extra syllables - something associated with southern culture i guess…) i mean, by giving the word three syllables, you don’t get ‘even’ and ‘ing’ as some people have suggested. you get 'eve-e-ning" which doesn’t suggest any double meaning to me…</p>

</p>

<p>that might be true, but it has no relevance to the question. you are only tested on what is in the passage, and there was nothing about where she lived in or what region she was from in the passage.</p>

88

<p>eh, that’s true, i guess. however, i didn’t see any other rational choices.</p>

89

<p>for the aunt sylvie question about “evening”
i put that it was part of heer dialect.
i remember none of the other answer choices making sense.
and even though it didnt say it explicitly in the passage.
i think that was a part of the underlying theme and part of the culture
it was trying to portray.</p>
