<p>Is there any way that MLK is experimental or did everyone have that? I thought that was the hardest one on the test lol</p>
<p>I highly doubt MLK is experimental, although I really hope it is (w/o MLK I might even get 800). I doubt it was experimental because a question about one of my other passages asked which of the following literary devices the author used. The answer was "word play." That doesn't sound like a typical CR question, but more a SATII Lit. one or something.</p>
<p>yeah if only MLK was experimental. from what i heard was that it's a maths section that's experimenta;./</p>
<p>So did all of you guys sign the place on your answer form where it says "By signing below, I agree not to share any specific test questions or essay topics with anyone after I test by any form of communication, including, but not limited to: email, text messages, or use of the Internet"?</p>
<p>oh.. thanks flipsta.. im still 100% confused from that stupid test</p>
<p>did anyone have a passage about people not holding their ground and sticking to the group's opinion when in larger cliques. It discussed how people do not express their views, and are swayed by the larger audience's opinions.</p>
<p>oh i just remembered that one.. yea i had it.. was that one experimental then? if it was.. ill be mad.. that was my best section</p>
<p>^^same here. That was the one section I actually did good on</p>
<p>so, if ETS determines the curve before the actual test is administered, how will they know how hard it is?</p>
<p>Is proper environment social context or essence of character?</p>
<p>essence of character.</p>
<p>tokenadult, did you take the test?
Or know what we actually had to sign?</p>
<p>What we signed affirmed that we are who we claimed to be on the front of the test. We signed nothing regarding the sharing of information.</p>
<p>I know you were trying to be clever, but it'd be nice if you got your facts straight before you got smart.</p>
<p>I got my quotation of what you signed from the sample SAT test on the College Board Web site. The Certification Statement (numbered page 8 on the sample test answer sheet) is on my desk as I type this. It may be that I made a transcription error when I typed last time, but this time I will copy and paste directly from the College</a> Board Web site: </p>
<p>"CERTIFICATION STATEMENT</p>
<p>"Copy the statement below (do not print) and sign your name as you would an official document.</p>
<p>"I hereby agree to the conditions set forth online at <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a> and/or in the SAT Registration Booklet and certify that I am the person whose name and address appear on this answer sheet.</p>
<p>"By signing below, I agree not to share any specific test questions or essay topics with anyone after I test by any form of communication, including, but not limited to: email, text messages, or use of the Internet.</p>
<p>"Signature ______ Date ________" </p>
<p>I suppose that one reason the College Board makes this downloadable sample test with sample answer sheet so available to all Web users who register on their site is that it spreads the word about what the rules are for discussing the test after the test is over. </p>
<p>I see the certification statement in the sample SAT test online is updated from the certification statements that appear on the sample SAT tests in the Official SAT Study Guide for the New SAT. </p>
<p>Anyone who follows the link above and registers and drills down to the sample test should be able to verify what is posted on the College Board Web site.</p>
<p>CC is very strict about CB rules as old members here know</p>
<p>However they havn't said anything about this so far and many members have already started discussion. I don't know whats gonig on</p>
<p>Well, the moderators here are busy people with offline personal lives just like the rest of us. But even if something you post here is kosher by CC's rules, or accepted in disregard of CC's rules temporarily until a moderator notices it, that's not a reason to violate the College Board's rules.</p>
<p>going waayyyy back to page 3 of this thread...</p>
<p>hamster and wvernrider -- i also thought the string theory passage was relatively easy but probably only because i had prior knowledge from starting to read 'the elegant universe' and hearing brian green lecture at penn.</p>
<p>"did anyone have a passage about people not holding their ground and sticking to the group's opinion when in larger cliques. It discussed how people do not express their views, and are swayed by the larger audience's opinions."</p>
<p>omg... exactly my thoughts after reading all you CC posters on the CR section.</p>
<p>^^ That's a funny comment.</p>
<p>I did not have that passage.</p>
<p>Great thread! Comments really jogged my memory. I hope this helps! - I had three verbal sections which means all of them counted. Here are the passages and the sentence completions. </p>
<p>Passages: Exerpt from the novel with Cecile; Science passage with quantum theory and relativity theory
Benefactor
Rebellious
Blended .. Discern
Indulge .. apportion
Circumscribe (stringent rules circumscribed or limited the paints they could use)</p>
<p>Passage: MLK Paired Passage
Honored
Depicted .. Travelled (photographer wanted to depict animals in their natural habitat and thus had to travel alot)
Emblem
Curative .. Toxic
Simplistic (lawyer's argument was simplistic because it lacked sophistication)
Bent .. Analyzing (a tough one. Penchant worked for the first blank but the second choice was wrong)
Prodigious (a prodigious or large amount of dust...Voracious was wrong)</p>
<p>20 Minute section: difficult passage about a teacher and her theories of acting)
Loner
Commodity
Continuous .. quiescent (eruptions were erratic sometimes continuous and sometimes quiescent)
Bully (the administration tried to bully the students but they would not be intimidated. Cajole means to coax)
Duplicitious .. Candid
Cosmopolitan (historians used to focus upon their own nations but now they take a transnational or Cosmopolitan approach)</p>
<p>ALL other readings were experimental. So the reading about the critic and Willa Cather, the reading about Nixon etc all were experimental!!!</p>
