<p>was the example about the scientest performing a genetic experiment, a digression from the main point, or a recalmination of facts?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I put “penchant” and “locutions.”</p>
<p>I finished the first two CR sections with 10+ mins left but was down to the last minute on the paired passages [the writing/novels one].</p>
<p>And for the question about Dan Rather: penchant/locutions</p>
<p>what was experimental? I think I had 4 reading sections… did anyone have a section on this guy visiting Africa??</p>
<p>holy **** ur fast silverturtle.
do u know for sure that the answer was “both would agree that humor is not always appropriate”?</p>
<p>Sorry to digress here, but I wonder if -2 on the CR section would yield me an 800…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I do not remember what I put, but it wasn’t a digression.</p>
<p>
I don’t think that was experimental.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes, with almost certainty.</p>
<p>The man visiting Tunisia was not experimental</p>

<p>
First time jitters had me taking a tad longer than that time frame. Most of the vocab was incredibly easy.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, that was not experimental.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I confidently put this.</p>
<p>Yeah, I had a guy in Africa.</p>
<p>I got, in no particular order:
Traveling by river vs land is different because river is unambiguous.
The question from the old man was to emphasize one of the author’s points.
The passage was mainly about how the author feels foreign.</p>
<p>My apologies for vagueness, I can’t remember specifics.</p>
<p>the one about the man in africa,</p>
<p>Tunisians walk more modestly?</p>
<p>What about the Tunisian man one?</p>
<ul>
<li>“I was not only a stranger; I was strange” I picked the answer that said this was about appearances?</li>
<li>In the paragraph about him changing “Perhaps I’ll lose a few pounds, etc” lots of “perhaps,” was the answer that the Africans are less conscious of others’ nationalities than he is?</li>
</ul>
<p>
</p>
<p>I agree. The vocabulary on this test was probably the easiest set I have seen; I was comfortable with every word on there.</p>
<p>
Yeah I had issues with that answer but ended up putting it anyways…</p>
<p>the question from the old man was to emphasize the lack of clear destination</p>
<p>I put “expanding upon a previous generalization.” The paragraph immediatley preceding the actual account of the experiment first introduced the generalized puzzle metaphor.</p>
<p>guess what. I thought I would do better this time, but I did worse! I only got a 600 last time, I don’t even want to expect what I will get this time.</p>
