January 2010 Critical Reading

<p>@ canbambiswim: I completely agree. However, I know I have an 800 on Math and most likely either an 11 or a 12 on my essay, so that helps a lot :smiley: </p>

<p>CR is pretty iffy, but W should be pretty solid.</p>

<p>@ fledgling: DAMN, my essay is sure to be pretty awfulā€¦</p>

<p>F:)ck yes, I agree with every single one of those, Jersey 13.</p>

<p>Gosh I wish I could find the passageā€¦</p>

<p>Haha Iā€™m dreading my math score. every year I realistically hope for an 800ā€¦every year my hopes are crushed by one or two stupid mistakes. :[</p>

<p>every YEAR?!?</p>

<p>and am i dead wrong on the steadfast analysis</p>

<p>I put faster travel and stealthy progress, darn those ambiguous SAT makers ): </p>

<p>Looking at a -3 for CR if those two are indeed the other answers</p>

<p>^^Yeah, the last 3 times Iā€™ve taken it Iā€™ve gotten either a 750 or 760 :[
judging by the answers posted on the math thread, I donā€™t have any wrong so far this year soā€¦Iā€™m crossing my fingers lol</p>

<p>and I think the general consensus is that steadfast was right</p>

<p>Jersey, are you 99% sure that those answers of yours are right?
What if we get our scores back and find out that you got some of them wrong.</p>

<p>@charizarrd
@canbambiswim</p>

<p>do you happen to remember the answer choices? :frowning: i canā€™t remmeber answering that questionā€¦ which is NOT GOOD!
thankyouuu</p>

<p>Wait, what was steadfast the answer to?? I canā€™t remember anything with steadfastā€¦</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree with all of the answers on that list. Which do you disagree with?</p>

<p>lol I took the SAT for the first time and I think I did terrible on the CR section, not a native English speaker so that was one of the reasons.</p>

<p>which question kim?</p>

<p>the steadfast one was the one having to do with the firiends not letting their differences come between them</p>

<p>Does anyone know any key words for the scientist passage besides ā€œjigsaw puzzle.ā€ I really liked that piece (:D)? Thanks.</p>

<p>chibistar: are you a senior lol?</p>

<p>and also, i screwed myself over (again) because the way i do hard memorization is that i assign one word synonyms
in steadfastā€™s case</p>

<p>ā€œloyalā€</p>

<p>which may explain why i thought about the question in the way i did</p>

<p>in a way, exciting isntt wrong, but steadfast may be better</p>

<p>@ amaaayzing, I put ā€œfaster travelā€ and ā€œstealthy progressā€ too. Now if I could find the actual text, I could probably make an argument for my case, but itā€™s too unclear in my mind for me to be able to support it right now. Iā€™m just trusting that these guys are right.</p>

<p>HopefulEagle, whatā€™s the point of "what if"ingā€¦</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>ā€œsteadfastā€ can mean ā€œnot subject to change,ā€ which fits semantically, grammatically, and logically.</p>

<p>Silverturtle, </p>

<p>So that means whatever answers I had opposite than you guys mean that theyā€™re wrong?</p>
