<p>This is the official discussion thread for the CR section.</p>
<p>To help future takers, what is your estimated score, what books did you use and find helpful, and any tips for those taking in October?
For October takers, I used Direct</a> Hits 1 and Direct</a> Hits 2. Many people seem to like Rocketreview</a> Revolution: The Ultimate Guide to the New SAT for CR too. And you should already have the Blue</a> Book [note: I scored 2340 in May]</p>

<p>And yeh, I know these discussion threads are early (but only by an hour or so) - I'm bored and hoping to help future takers :P</p>
<p>i have 2 sentence completion questions, the first has answers “turncoat” and “heavyweight”, the second “spare”/“grim”/“discursive”/“diffuse”. what are the right answers?</p>
<p>the first one is underdog and the second one is spare.
The embargo has not lifted and I’ll erase mine soon.</p>
<p>why spare? though it was like “no word was wasted”? and spare - superfluous?</p>
<p>Sentence Completion section was f***ing difficult, wasn’t it?
I think I got 4 wrong, and could you expect the projected score for me?.. I suppose the curve will be much more generous than Dec or Jan one… considering the level of difficulty.</p>
<p>withoutdoubt // i don’t exactly remember the context but I felt that other choices were absolutely absurd… SC was extremely hard, I agree.</p>
<p>yes, it was. what about the question asking about what author of passage 2 thinks about author of passage 1 that has “grandiose but sound”?</p>
<p>I think I chose different one… guessed the one including “too alarmist”… I could verify my choice b/c there was “perennial” in the given line reference. Still, embargo has not lifted :(</p>
<p>ohh… i didn’t put grandiose but sound… i put something else</p>
<p>i remember putting too alarmist for one answer</p>
<p>lets talk about math</p>
<p>Math was easy. I think the one (for mine sec. 4 or sec.5) with the last question asking about the median was experimental</p>
<p>its bookworm and not underdog!</p>
<p>talk abt math in the other thread</p>
<p>No. The context said “opressive world” and no choice but “underdog” does fit.</p>
<p>i remember putting diverse for sentence completion</p>
<p>also, what was the function of the sentence " since long literacy has been taken as the surest marker of… " - to validate a position or to make a claim ?</p>
<p>oh yes! that one… i put to make a claim aaaahhhh so scared</p>
