<p>I would love a super lenient curve.</p>

882

<p>^^I believe it was compassion.</p>

883

<p>Compassion/Ruthless I recall being an answer to a different question.</p>

884

<p>I got that too @Cress</p>

885

<p>

yeah i remember that…</p>

886

<p>I remember a question about a basketball coach and being tough on her players. Was that one severe/upbraid, and if so, what were the other choices.</p>

887

<p>so amenable was an answer? is that in addition to the list or a correction, if so which question?
and can someone explain the “reading promotes learning” passage, what it was about
and ellaborate on the answers given</p>

888

<p>i dont think amenable was a correct answer</p>

889

<p>^it wasn’t, just one of the choices.</p>

890

<p>Ok, so far we have about 58 answers. Where are the last 9 coming from? Which passages?
I’m really praying for a really generous curve.</p>

891

<p>Well, there are 4 SC’s left and I imagine that the other 5 that are missing were extremely easy.</p>

892

<p>I Think it would be safest to go off the averages until we can be sure about anything (when we get the scores back on the 24th :P) So, I could have missed 6 and still get somewhere around a 730 :).</p>

893

<p>The curve will most likely be in the red. Usually the vocab makes or breaks the CR section. Also, CR is known for being the hardest, so usually there is a lenient curve.</p>

<p>Can anyone please reiterate the Austrian girl passage Qs. There are some on the consolidated list that I cannot recognize.</p>

894

<p>Can anyone remember the other answers to the “savvy” zoo question</p>

895

<p>If the curve on this section is in the red, what would one blank and 6 MC wrong equate to?</p>

896

<p>I’m looking at -2 SC so far…</p>

897

<p>As of right now I still stand at -2 on CR, and -0 on both M and W o.o </p>

<p>When I came out of the testing room, I thought I must have messed up on something, but now a 2400 actually looks like a possibility :o</p>

898

<p>@Mets8221: I think about a 730 with a red curve, but a 710 average, based off the link below:

899

<p>I actually think the curve will be harsher than usual.</p>

900

<p>^ that would give you a 59 raw, so about 720.</p>
