January 2013 SAT Discusion

<p>For seahorses, I remember “eagerness” for one question and "subtle yet (some word indicating that they give a more strong impression, I believe it started with an “I”).</p>

<p>For the Cold War section, it seemed like 75% of it was going back and figuring out whether they were comparing traditionalist to new left/William Appleman Williams, or whether it was same view and agreement, or contrasting the harshness of Williams and the other dude they mentioned who criticized Truman for ending Roosevelt’s policies of cooperation. Hope that jogs something and you can remember more than me.</p>

<p>@77salolin
yeah i got all of those. i dont remember the other one though</p>

<p>@Radicalness the word was “affecting”</p>

<p>“Subtle yet affecting”
One of them was asking why she posed the questions. I put that she wanted to explain them… This is definitely not word for word the answer choice…</p>

<p>@Mystic1996, Yes you are correct, I remember now. And I remember at least 2 of the answers I put for the seahorse section were the only ones in their respective question that didn’t have a scientific basis. I guess it’s the College Board trying to prevent people from reading the context, skipping the body, and answering the questions with only the question and knowledge that she was a marine biologist. None of the passage was actually scientific, she was just relating her fascination with seahorses.</p>

<p>all right lets check some seahorses stuff:
the one about description of all the sea creatures before she sees the seahorse is vivid imagery
the one about her asking if she might possibly see a seahorse that day was eagerness
the one about comparison to sharks and reef fish (or something) was subtle yet …
was there one about resignation? like when she thinks shes about to not see a single sea horse again
and then the one about the description about the seahorse camouflaged so well in its surroundings
and then the last one about the comparison of seeing a seahorse to a unicorn trotting through her garden was a disclosure … of something…? right?</p>

<p>any other ones you can think of? / is that^^^ what you all got?</p>

<p>@77salolin, yes I put the one that roughly meant that her expectation differed from the reality. I believe it was concerning how she thought she would feel upon seeing a seahorse, and how she actually felt in the moment. Also, “spellbound”? I chose spellbound, it was referring to the part where she said she would watch the seahorse forever, if she could.</p>

<p>@glasses1, I got everything but resignation. I do remember her doubt in ever seeing a seahorse was a factor in at least one question, though. The rest I’m pretty much certain are right. I thought seahorse was an easy passage.</p>

<p>@77salolin, yeah i think that’s what I had. yeah! thats a seahorse question i forgot about. she thought it would be really cool to see a seahorse, but in the end she was just mesmerized. so her expectation differed from reality
and that leads to another question, the one about what she felt when she saw the seahorse and wanted to just lie down next to it and watch it all day was a fascination?? or what was the word. i cant remember exactly</p>

<p>nvm. yeah it was spellbound as radicalness pointed out</p>

<p>@radicalness, any idea of what you put for that one about her doubt in seeing a seahorse, where shes having these thoughts right before she sees one?</p>

<p>it was definitely outspoken condemnation,</p>

<p>what did you guys say for what mamet thought about the true text or whatever, i said it was central to the actor’s work</p>

<p>Can we do this same thing for the Cold War passage!</p>

<p>@infrapr0ds, that was the last one i couldnt remember! yes im pretty sure i put that the only the script was central to the actor’s work according to mamet</p>

<p>@infrapr0ds, I chose central to the actor’s work. </p>

<p>@dh1234, do you have any specific questions about Cold War?</p>

<p>@dh1234, if you post specific questions about it! hold on let me think though</p>

<p>@glasses1, I really have no idea what I put for that. I got all 70 CR questions in back to back sections, so it was a lot to take in all at once.</p>

<p>What was the comparison or whatever between the first and last sentence?</p>

<p>yep i put fallacious</p>

<p>Yup I got fallacious.
What was the one that was like “compared to William____ (I forget his name) later revisionists viewed American policy to be”…</p>

<p>@dh1234 i said they were both talking about types of thought that were prevalent in a certain period of time (worded something like that)</p>
