June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>Wait until the embargo is lifted before discussing answers.</p>

<p>I bombed vocab. :(</p>

<p>I thought it was easy, the questions were easier than the BB CR questions and I finished 5-7 minutes early each time. Sentence completions were kind of hard though, I used Direct Hits to study and barely any of those words were on there.</p>

<p>The passage with the guy who read to Borges was difficult. Do any of you think the section with some Austrian girl was experimental?</p>

<p>Same here! Vocab was so hard :(</p>

<p>TBH I wouldn’t be surprised if -3 is an 800. The difficulty of the vocabulary was very unexpected. And it sucks because the fact that I had to spend more time on the vocab trying to make a logical guess (one of which I already know was wrong :frowning: ) means that I had less time to spend on the Passages so I was constantly rushed. Guess I’ll be registering for the next exam. Grr</p>

<p>Edit: @Yrif, </p>

<p>I am certain it wasn’t because I had experimental writing and I had that same passage. And the author passage was the easiest in my eyes, but I suppose that is due to the fact that that was the only section I did not feel rushed on.</p>

<p>I also thought vocab was pretty hard and I’m usually good with that. :/</p>

<p>Ha I bombed vocab too.</p>

<p>VOCAB OMG! must discuss!!!</p>

<p>I got raped on the newtonian phsics passage. I think that was experimental though.</p>

<p>Arrrrgh, shouldn’t have guessed on the vocab. I just looked up 2 words and I guessed incorrectly on at least 2 of the sentence completion questions. =[ DAMMIT.</p>

<p>…the what?
physics??</p>

<p>^It’s your lucky day. I did not have that passage.</p>

<p>the vocab was intense…
passage reading wasn’t so bad…</p>

<p>I feel the vocabulary was quite enervating ;)</p>

<p>ok i thought it was just me with the vocab… but ya and 8 questions on sentence completion…</p>

<p>ya i defenetly bent over when it came for vocab</p>

<p>I thought the Girl-Austria passage was wired…</p>

<p>8 minutes, I guess…</p>

<p>8 minutes till what?</p>

<p>The 3 real ones were Zoos, Girl with foreign father, and talent?</p>

<p>However, we are proscribed from discussing the vocabulary.
And I am indeed an acolyte of College Confidential.</p>
