<p>What was the answer for the whale question? Was it “Astonishingly friendly and fluid” or “… and nimble”?</p>
<p>And does anyone remember which short passages accompanied the Montaigne section? eg. Global warming, grandmother, Houston Space Station thingum, etc.</p>
<p>I put astonishingly friendly and fluid.</p>
<p>Thank you, theskylitup
“point out a unique character” sounds like my answer
but it could be wrong because of the word “unique”</p>
<p>astonishingly friendly and fluid</p>
<p>Global warming, grandmother, Montaigne are experimental</p>
<p>Anyone got shirk for SC?</p>

<p>ErialC, thanks. Do you happen to remember the other option? The one with “nimble” in it…</p>
<p>Also, where did you get those answers from? I think the answer to the Agatha Christie question was “Identify a unique character” and not “Substantiate a point on the genre”.</p>
<p>What were the questions for these three answers:
<p>I completely do not remember them :</p>
<p>I’m going to commit suicide nowwwwwwwwwwwwww</p>
<p>do you guys remember a question from the writing section? it was something like blah blah blah “the topics of discussion,” then listing the topics out. i was deciding between “as such,” then the topics are listed, or a semi colon, then the topics are listed. you guys remember that question? anyone knows the answer?</p>
<p>“individuals are part of the interconnected …” - Someone jog my memory.</p>
<p>“sharing of imagination” - I think this was from the African-American passage, the “Pearls on a string question”. Is that right?</p>
<p>“play down a pivotal moment” - Is this the “Am I sure… Am I…?” question? I think my answer was “The accuracy of her memories”. Anyone else got that?</p>
<p>“Shirk” - Is this the SC about the woman and something about opportunity? I think my answer was the option with “embrace”.</p>
<p>Peaches, I think I put sharing of imagination.</p>
<p>Yeah, definitely got accuracy of her memories.
For the Agatha Christie one I actually got substantiate a point. I thought it was substantiate a point about how there are old ladies in detective novels that seniors can relate to. The purpose of the author wasn’t too point out that Miss Marple is a unique character in that genre, but to give an example (ie substantiate a point) of the subject he was referring to. But don’t take my word for it. Not too sure.</p>
<p>Actually for the Agatha Christie one, she didn’t mention her name to substantiate the point. The mention of Agatha Christie alone did not substantiate a point, but it complemented a point as a unique example. Again, I might be wrong.</p>
<p>Just woke up again and read through the thread.
Erialc, you are a GENIUS for finding the June semblance. Last month (November)'s international was the same as the US’s March 2009, and now June 2009. Have they always done this or is it something new we can exploit?</p>
<p>And great compilations, feeling even better about my results now.</p>
<p>I’m so upset. The test was easier than the October one, but I made stupid mistakes. I did better on the CR section about Montaigne. Can anyone tell me how many questions can I get wrong in Math and still get 700? I know we are going to have a harsh curve.</p>
<p>I’m sure that my M score will be more than Oct. However, CR score is waaaaaaaaay less… Can I like send my Dec M score and Oct CR’s?? =P =P
^^^</p>
<p>why can’t wee? ='(((((((((((((((((((((((</p>
<p>Yeah I did better on the Montaigne passage :(</p>
<p>Ruby, that is called super scoring and most universities do allow that.</p>
<p>BTW, anyone remember the context for the vocab “credulous”? Don’t remember that answer…</p>
<p>wow adrenaline… i totally agree w/ ur post. the second one above…? ;]</p>
<p>NO WAY. i cant believe that… THATS WHY THE CURVE IS PREDETERMINED.</p>
<p>The other answer for the whale question is …prosaic …fluid.</p>
