January Critical Reading SAT Thread

<p>I just thought I'd start one since there's a math one too ^^</p>

<p>I want to find out which one's the experimental section .. I had a passage about being hispanic in NY, one about judging literary work, one about comic books, and the other was the 20min CR section.</p>

<p>Any of these passages seem unfamiliar to you?</p>

<p>I don't think i had the one with the literary work, instead I had one about Venus.</p>

<p>I didn't have the "judging literary work" section either</p>

<p>I had one about Venus.</p>

<p>For the Hispanic one, did you guys get "angered and bewildered" or "fearfulness and uncertainty?</p>

<p>Fearfulness and uncertainty. I'm fairly sure on that one.</p>

<p>I put fearfulness and uncertainty as well.</p>

<p>I was really short on time for the comics one .. so I rushed through all of the last questions.</p>

<p>What did ya'll get for the question that asked what would Passage 2 say to Passage 1's statement that "none of the adults who outgrew comics keep them?" or something</p>

<p>And why did the author say "fanzine?"</p>

<p>Oh .. I'm so glad the lit critic thing was experimental .. that one was hard =P</p>

<p>1) I think that choice E most clearly refuted Passage 1's assertion that love of comic books does not endure.</p>

<p>2) The author put "fanzine" in quotes to set off a specialized word.</p>

<p>What was choice E?</p>

<p>Was the comic book one the experimental one?</p>

<p>there was a vocab question with sundry in it, and it talked about a novel in rural setting what was the answer?</p>

<p>it was bucolic, which relates to rural settings. the question was about a preoccupation with rural or agricultural settings.</p>

<p>I thought the vocab was pretty dificult on this sat!</p>

<p>Yay I put bucolic as well.
I was torn between that and sundry, but I cancelled sundry out because I thought about how sundries are like medicines or something, LOL =)</p>

<p>Do you remember the choices for that one?</p>

<p>what was the aswer to the "fanzine" question</p>

<p>it set off a specialized term, I think.</p>

<p>that's what i got</p>

<p>That question seemed messed up to me. Passage 1 said something like "of the people I know who have outgrown comics have no sentimental value toward them" implying that there were others who HADN'T outgrown them. If it hadn't implied that, I would have put E (?) which said that Passage 2 author would have refuted by saying that there were plenty of adults who still liked comic books. I put the one that said that comic books aren't meant to be lifelong somethings (B I believe), since the author was talking about how they were an escape for children at school who didn't get coffee breaks. I still don't really like that answer though.</p>

<p>refresh my memory...what was the lit critic one about that is supposedly experimental?</p>

<p>all the words were on the testmasters hit parade list</p>
