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 awful…</p>

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

<p>Gosh I wish I could find the passage…</p>

<p>Haha I’m dreading my math score. every year I realistically hope for an 800…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 I’ve taken it I’ve gotten either a 750 or 760 :[
judging by the answers posted on the math thread, I don’t have any wrong so far this year so…I’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 can’t remmeber answering that question… which is NOT GOOD!
thankyouuu</p>

<p>Wait, what was steadfast the answer to?? I can’t remember anything with steadfast…</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 steadfast’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 it’s too unclear in my mind for me to be able to support it right now. I’m just trusting that these guys are right.</p>

<p>HopefulEagle, what’s the point of "what if"ing…</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 they’re wrong?</p>
