<p>im having a really hard time trying to project my scores and its driving me crazy! anyone have any idea how to break it down if i ommitted 7 of the 62 and got around 10-15 Qs wrong?</p>
<p>lol didnt take novemebers... but I thought it was really easy in general??</p>
<p>and favorite poem... I thought the one about the child and their sense of loss that is to come etc was great. & The wheat poem was also amusing. Wheat. hah.</p>
<p>Edit: sry missed a few posts this should be directed at the one a few posts above mine</p>
<p>i forgot about the sense of loss one! that was absolutely chilling!</p>
<p>If you omitted 7, and got 10 wrong, you would end up with an approximate score of around 680-690. (NOT bad for that many left out and wrong)</p>
<p>But, say you omit 7 and get 15 wrong, you'd get around approximately a 620. So, it all depends. As you can see, the curve is VERYY generous:</p>
<p>Here, in case you want this for future reference, here's the curve from the "Real SAT Subject Test" book:</p>

<p>I'm guessing below a 600 you don't care about lol, just a guess though. And, some of these numers maybe just a smidgen higher or lower (depending on the new scale) since the current test is out of 62, and not 61. So, if you got a 45 on the 62 Questioned lit test, maybe it would be a 690; it's hard to tell. No worries though, it's in the past, just let it go and you'll get your scores soon.</p>
<p>thanks so much for explaining it all. i feel better now.
my 650-690 is gonna stand out so much since i got a 720 on CR and 710 on Writing! haha oh well...</p>
<ol>
<li>"first time" was previous criminal act(remember he did still the necklace)</li>
<li>Charlotte satirized Arthur's stupidity</li>
<li>Arthur felt nervous around Charlotte?</li>
<li>maxims of astrology?</li>
<li>heavenly bodies?</li>
<li>wheat ready to be sold at the market?</li>
</ol>
<p>Evil asian dictation- I agree with all of urs except the first one and the last. (although last one im pretty sure I may be wrong). For the "first". THe end of the first paragraph detailed him EXTENSIVELY trying to lose himself in the crowd until he was sure he cudnt be found and this was referred to "entering the SECOND sally." </p>
<p>THe paragraph immediately following starts with. As he looked at his jewelry he forgot all about his first. Now put it in context. The only two possible choices taht might make sense is either killing the child or he forgot about getting caught. Since the first paragraph ended with him obviously concerend about being caught (hence he tries to lose himself in the crowd) and this is referred to as "entering SECOND sally", I think it's safe to say the "first" was his fear of being caught. </p>
<p>BUt on another note- the passage reveals that he knows about jewelry right? I didn't find ENOUGH support to suggest he HATED all rich and powerful people...</p>
<p>oh b-t-w, "I am nervous" statement by Arthur I think means he has a delicate disposition/personality. None of the other choices made sense- why would arthur tell charolotte he was nervous of her?... (and he is her recent aquaintance I think). Did anyone get what the "Invisible Force" is? I put wind for the wheat.</p>
<p>Something I don't understand... all these scales are out of 61- didn't we have 62 questions?...</p>
<p>^
I thought it proved something else. Remember other choices? </p>
<p>Weak constitution, right?</p>
<p>And yeah I put the wind bending the wheat for the "shadow of wind" if that's what you mean.</p>
<p>Yeah, you're right trueazn and yes, the thief did have knowledge of jewely beforehand.</p>
<p>Other answers...</p>
<ol>
<li>dancers had vision of peace</li>
<li>"colliding" countries were out of their natural harmonious relationships</li>
<li>Willie wanted to express his true character</li>
<li>battle of wits between Charlotte and Arthur</li>
<li>I, II, and III for like 2 answers</li>
</ol>

<p>I believe that you are in the wrong. He was overwhelmed by the thought of his new jewels, and I'm rather certain that he was trying to avoid thinking about his former dubious plans (the fear of getting caught was a red herring, since it's hardly discussed at all in the passage). The passage goes on to explore his rationalizations for his conduct, and there are only two real emphases: the devil soliciting him to kill and his justification for robbing the girl. Really! Who's going to catch him anyway?</p>
<p>So, was the first passage an interior monologue and did he want to "forget about his previous criminal act" Joyce?</p>
<p>The whole thing was an interior monologue.</p>
<p>haha i think i just got owned -> o well =)</p>
<p>Hmm i got I,II,III for the first one. Only II and III for the second one, don't remember what it was tho.</p>
<p>Anyone know Why Willie screaed "Romance etc. etc."?
I put a conversation that reveals personality... hrm~</p>
<p>Can someone just confirm... THERE WERE 62 QUESTIONS right? It would suck if there were 61 and somehow i got 62...</p>
<p>I think Willie was trying to underscore the absurdity of the whole dancing routine but who knows. The other two were definitely more skilled than he was and the whole jig kind of turned into an extended metaphor.</p>
<p>Willy is very familiar with the dance. Harry is the inexperienced one. You remember that Sal makes a sort of mock-sarcastic aside to Willy when Harry questions him about the rules of dancing?</p>
<p>Joyce, do all of your answers corroborate with the ones I have posted??:)</p>
<p>Anyone thinking Willie was just trying to raise spirits (hedonistic attitude) for these ppl who are kinda in despair and don't know what to write about?</p>
<ul>
<li>again, somsone 62 questions on this test right?</li>
</ul>
<p>Not exactly. I didn't put battle of wits--I felt it should have been more scathing for that; it was too subtle--pretty sure I put that it reveals their characteristics . But I did get I, II, and III for 2 answers and I'm pretty consistent with everything else (except for the one I noted previously). Hedonism isn't the right answer. Think of the context. He's a black man in South Africa in the 50s. The author definitely didn't seem like a racist to me, and to describe him as in any way hedonistic (just one notch up from a sybarite) wouldn't have flied with the antiapartheid groups.</p>
