<p>This thread makes me feel a lot better than the math thread. Ironically, I thought I would shine in the math section and not do so well in the reading.</p>
<p>I'm the opposite, haha. I missed 3 sent. completion so i'm likely to get lower CR than math... what do you think -3 will be on this test?</p>
<p>63/67 raw score -- it's a 770 in the "SAT Preparation Booklet", but apparently people thought this test was pretty hard for CR so maybe 780.</p>
<p>^ It's also the opposite for me. So far -0 in math, -0 in writing, and at least -3 in CR. I got stark-cerebral, elaborating not transition, and now pertinent observation not explanation all wrong. Now I'm hoping I didn't make any other stupid SC errors. On the Indian collumnist, I know it was Exp., but can anyone tell me the answer for the question: The Indian community takes what from the magazine? And it was either bittersweet reminder of home or useful information. Just wondering to see if I would have gotten it right.</p>
<p>^ Not sure about that question but I'm really glad the collumnist was exp because, for some reason, I was REALLY short on time for that section. I answered the last 7 or 8 questions in about 3 minutes.</p>
<p>The one thing I love about SAT CR is that for some reason I'm never, ever short on time. I always have at least 4 or 5 minutes left at the end after doing the section at a fast, but thorough pace to completely go over sent. completion and sometimes even the passage questions.</p>
<p>DO you rememebr the two short passages to that exp section? And wasn't their another passage in their with medium length? I'm pretty sure I only had one CR section that had a 10-11 question passage. The other two had two short passages and two medium passages; I just can't remember which is which.</p>
<p>What was the one question concerning the last few sentences of the passage? Something about scientists wanting to show the process, but the public wouldn't appreciate it?</p>
<p>It was something like: showing doubt of something</p>
<p>yeah showing doubt that the public understands the scientific process or something</p>
<p>guys for that beneficial dinosaur question
- i don't think it's beneficial</p>
<p>At first I misinterpreted the passage as saying the exhibit showed scientists working, but I think it was just literally a typical exhibit that said "oh by the way we're not really sure it's a teenage dinosaur"</p>
<p>i said ??something positive??/futile
because it's in good faith that they are saying they don't know what it is, but they just look stupid by saying they're not sure after making the image of the number crunching machine. It's futile to educate people by putting qualifiers rather than show them the whole process?</p>
<p>And I'm still not on board with pertinent observation...just because the SAT seems to be on the side of taking things too literally if anything...</p>

<hr>
<p>I spent all of my extra time on this question. I don't remember which answer I put but I know I was debating between umm encouraging/futile though those aren't the exact words and beneficial/idr. It was difficult because they didn't literally go behind the scene and show them the dinosaur or the work of the scientists but they did show them that "it may be a teenage dinosaur." Then I thought I was over thinking it and i remember changing my answer a few times, though I don't know which one I settled on.</p>

<p>I put something like.. "the effects are unknown" or something.</p>
<p>For the old china passage, where it asked how the objects got their value, did anybody put "power of reminiscence" instead of "passage of time"? I narrowed it down to those two, but I think the question asked about how the author felt about it, and the author didn't seem to say that just the passage of time gave things value. Plus, in the last paragraph when he talked about people discovering his china dog in the future, they said things like "oh, what an age it was then!", which seemed to show reminiscence.</p>
<p>So I put power of reminiscence instead of passage of time. What does everyone else think?</p>
<p>passage of time.</p>
<p>i put passage of time without a doubt...but your reasoning seems a lot better than mine.</p>
<p>what did everyone else put?</p>
<p>i think i put passage of time, it was about the value of the object right? the first question to the passage i think</p>
<p>yea
it was asking about the author and her contemporaries</p>
<p>In the Indian writer section, there was a question for which I chose an answer that was along the lines of 'his inexperience as a writer.'</p>
<p>Does that ring a bell for anyone?</p>
<p>ichiruki:
I chose inexperience as a wirter as well.</p>
<p>i forget the question though</p>
