<p>

</p>

<p>It was about the passage in which the narrator was thinking about his mom.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, I did.</p>

282

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh right. That’s what I put.</p>

283

<p>virgil was MOST surprised by his dad’s love for him?</p>

284

<p>I put most surprised by his dad’s love.</p>

<p>What was the companionship question?</p>

285

<p>

</p>

<p>I think “affection” was the word. Either way, this was the answer.</p>

286

<p>For the Penchant/Locution SC, was “yen” one of the other choices?</p>

287

<p>I’m relatively sure -2 on CR is not 800.
For October’s curve, I got 3 questions wrong, and my score was a 760. -2 would most likely be a 770-790.
Unless you’re referring to -2 raw-score wise?</p>

288

<p>yen was another choice, but penchant was the answer because the second blank was better for penchant.</p>

289

<p>2 wrong would be -2 raw score. 3 wrong would be -4 raw score.</p>

290

<p>i dont remember ever seeing a question about his mom</p>

<p>omg ugh i might have bubbled wrong</p>

291

<p>^ -2 has historically almost always been an 800.</p>

<p>

Yes yen/paradigm was another choice</p>

292

<p>i put magnanimous instead of arrogant for the “I write. The reader must learn to read” one. :frowning: i thought arrogant was too strong, but i guess not…</p>

<p>does anyone know what the question was for skepticism? i didnt put that…it had something to do with the humor passage…</p>

293

<p>“yen was another choice, but penchant was the answer because the second blank was better for penchant.”</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

294

<p>^ Magnanimous is generous, the exact opposite of the connotation of that phrase.</p>

295

<p>Wow, I got all of the answers above so far.
What did you guys get for the first question in the double reading passage with the mom teaching her daughter?</p>

<p>The answer choices I remember were
anticipate the reader’s responses
something about reader’s convictions</p>

296

<p>yeah i put skepticism</p>

297

<p>magnanimous did not fit at all because that means generous.</p>

298

<p>What was the purpose of the jigsaw puzzle thing?
Was it to expand / serve as an example? something with an ex in it…</p>

299

<p>

</p>

<p>I put the former.</p>

300

<p>Me too.</p>

<p>I’m at -0 right now, makes me worry about stupid mistakes I may have made.</p>
