June 2010 Critical Reading

<p>@Packer,</p>

<p>Don’t worry. Remember, CR has room for error. :D</p>

<p>@jj, thats what I thought when i read the question, but proscribe means to condemn, not prescribe, which means to order :)</p>

<p>Something about artists work maturing and fulfilling their promise. Anyone have the answr to my previous question…?</p>

<p>nvm, ur right</p>

<p>Did anyone else enjoy the passages? Especially the one about talents?</p>

<p>Or am I a complete loser?</p>

<p>How are you guys formulating final scores? I wanted to know how my score would look like if I skipped 3 questions and got a total of 10 wrong…if anybody had any clue.</p>

<p>I’m trying to stay positive and hope for the best, but I just went in the wrong direction in a few questions and was perhaps a bit too risky.</p>

<p>Yes!!! Meee! Lol I liked the talent passage and the rest weren’t bad either :)</p>

<p>@carman, </p>

<p>Likely in the 600s.</p>

<p>I stilllll waaannnttt to know about the question that the answer is supposedly “provisional” was empirical also one of the answer choices or was that a different question?</p>

<p>I think empirical was another choice for the provisional question, yes.</p>

<p>But provisional was definently the answer? :frowning: I don’t even remember the question could u tell me? I put empirical…</p>

<p>Thanks. Do you know if it would be in the lower, mid, or upper 600s?</p>

<p>I went through the Blue Book to sort of look at the questions and got a rough estimate, using 4 skipped and 16 wrong (though I am entirely unsure of what I got right/wrong). That was a total of 63 possible points - (16 x 0.25), which equaled 63-4 or 59. That on one of the tested scales was a 720 - which didn’t sound right - and on the scale, it was anywhere between 660-740. Is this correct?</p>

<p>I’m more or less trying to understand how the scoring works; if anyone can help, that would be great.</p>

<p>I think that empirical is the correct answer.</p>

<p>Upper, most likely.</p>

<p>Hey is there a curve like for the subject tests? Or does missing 1 automatically mean no 800…?</p>

<p>Empirical? Yay! Then why does the consolidated list say provisional…? Are the rest on that list correct at least?</p>

<p>@arwen: It completely depends on the test. For something like Math 1 or Literature, if you miss one it could cost you. For something like Physics, you could miss 12 questions and still get an 800.</p>

<p>@arwenevenstar,
If you miss one, an 800 is definitely in the realm of possibility.</p>

<p>Thx IV and bri!! I have one confirmed wrong (debating between approbation and ignominy and of course I chose the wrong one :p) and I’m sure I missed at least a few more just because of random mistakes :slight_smile: what do u guys think that will come out to?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You got 47 questions correct out of 67 (since you got 16 wrong and 4 omitted). Therefore you do 47-(16*0.25) = 43 which is your raw score. That is in the high 500’s.</p>
