<p>How many can you miss to get a 700?</p>
<p>Man, I guess I should have gotten more sleep. I started off so slowly, I ended up skipping almost all of that stupid Galatea one because I ran out of time. I think I left like 7 questions blank. Yikes. But I think I did well on everything else. Would a 700 still be possible for me?</p>

I said the speaker felt skeptical admiration, because he said “if only the enterprise were as innocent as it were early!”, assuming the enterprise was the train.
The passage was written by Thoreau, who hated technology (including railroads)</p>
<p>I definitely don’t think I did well. I understood the passages but I had no idea what answers to choose so I had many blank answers. I found the Pygmalion and Galatea section was the most difficult.</p>
<p>Maybe the curve will be more lenient? Especially if so many CCers felt that it was hard.</p>
<p>And now we wait for the scores…</p>
<p>I thought the test as a whole was manageable. I probably pulled off a 700+. So far, commonly agreed upon answers in this thread have corresponded with what I put. The only thing I had trouble with was the railroad passage. I wasn’t sure if he was outright opposed to railroads and being sarcastic or was just skeptical. Some of the questions like who the passage about the retiring author was addressed to were oddly worded. In retrospect, it did start with “Our author” so I should’ve just assumed it was a narrative. Either way, I’d say I got above a 700.</p>
<p>It’s the US History test that I think I did average to below average on (600-ish)…</p>
<p>What did everyone put for the one that asked what the passage (about the play write and shakespeare) was meant to be viewed as, I put an actor to audience but wasn’t sure. Also, in the Galatea passage, there was a question with an answer “he made her his queen despite her demonic nature” I answered that but I wasn’t sure, was that correct? Finally, what was the answer to the one that asked which quote didn’t fit the music-emotion pattern? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yeah. I started off bad with the proposal passage that I didn’t find humorous at all. And I mis-bubbled halfway into the test… so hoping for 700+</p>
<p>Lol, yeah, didn’t find that one funny either. I love how these tests always find humor in the most stale places. Man, I really wish I budgeted my time better. I was in such a daze for the first half hour.</p>
<p>What other questions do you guys remember? I’m blanking out</p>
<p>The first one was ‘humorous’ because of unexpected responses or something
The black lady was ebullient then pensive
The random objects = human experiences / sentiments or something??</p>
<p>Never take Literature third, especially after math II and physics. For the first 30 questions I was like a zombie and then the last 30 my brain kicked into gear. Overall it seemed okay; some hard ones, some easy ones, and some okay ones.</p>
<p>^ Same, it was just okay… wasn’t too hard, but still not so easy that I’m sure I got a high score. I’m just hoping to pull off at least a 700? I’m not keeping my expectations too high considering Lit’s awful curve. For Lit, I always find myself stuck between two answer choices, I just hope I ended up choosing the right one :(</p>
<p>I only ended up answering the first 50 questions, and got maybe 45 of those right (I did fine on the sat I cr, received a 750). Does anyone know what score range that would be in?</p>
<p>I agree- comically unaware of his own self-importance. His lines went something along the lines of “How dare that Tommy Somethingoranother propose before me?!”</p>
<p>He wasn’t discouraged or daunted by Tommy’s proposal. Indignant, insulted, maybe- but he certainly showed no signs of backing down.</p>
<p>As for the attitude in the train passage, I put skeptical admiration. The author elaborates on the grandiose nature of the train but is skeptical of whether it is being put to good use.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I didn’t think any of the answer choices that took the word “enroyalled” too literally were correct.</p>
<p>Anyone remember the answer to “Why does the author talk about South Sea gods” or something along those lines for the London passage?</p>
<p>(There were an unusual number of grammar questions for this one! Made me wish I’d brushed up on my S+V-ish skills)</p>
<p>Oh God, that South Sea gods question had me stumped.</p>
<p>I picked the “symbolizes the plight of the worker,” (or whatever it was) but I found all of the choices really bizarre, to be honest.</p>
<p>^ I remember that South Sea one! I don’t remember what the answer choices were, just that they were all really strange…</p>
<p>South Sea represented the forbidden pleasures of London</p>
<p>^Can you elaborate on that? I just didn’t understand any of the choices. :P</p>
<p>Ahh and can anyone remind me of what the train main verb sentence was? Where the answer is “seems” or something.</p>
<p>I think the main verb was seems.</p>
<p>But the narrator was talking about how the gods of the south seas were right at home in the London Museum shortly after he said something along the lines of all pleasures of the city were barricaded to the working class. The pleasures were there, but forbidden to the working class. Statues of gods were available in the museum for the upper class.</p>
<p>That question was so horrendous, I completely erased it from my memory.</p>
