March 2012 SAT I Critical Reading Thread

<p>The sentence was about how scientists learned that ravens forage together in groups, the second part of the sentence qualified that statement by saying they scavenge.</p>

<p>the significance was to specify a boundary i think</p>

<p>@nikhilbg</p>

<p>oh alright… nice. do you have any other answers to questions from that passage?</p>

<p>haha love causing controversy! i’m almost sure scavenge didn’t work it was about scientists studying the birds and they found it strange, what would they find strange about ravens “foraging” (which means looking for food) by “scavenging”? it was aggregate. get owned!</p>

<p>well he is a SAT master therefore he is right :slight_smile: and anonymous ill remember the answer if u give me the question. sry.</p>

<p>My experimental was math, though I have been ordered not to talk about the test ;). Anyone know which math was experimental, because whichever one was first I omitted one and was only semi-sure on another. I think I aced the other 3 though. Hoping that first one goes away, i’ll have a shot at an 800.</p>

<p>As far as the sinister vs. vital thing goes I said sinister as well because there really was nothing sinister about it. The only thing that was sinister was how it described its darkness, but it was vital because it had all of the belongings from her ancestors which characterized who she was.</p>

<p>@satmaster</p>

<p>Ok, so what did is second part of the sentence read out with aggregate? The second part was like blah blah ____ blah blah</p>

<p>do you remember what it said?</p>

<p>it was ravens seem to ____ together or something to that nature</p>

<p>@nik</p>

<p>It DID NOT say that.</p>

<p>It said:</p>

<p>Scientists found it strange that raven forage in groups, (the rest I don’t know, but there was a blank in the second clause of the sentence)</p>

<p>It was deffinately scavange. I remember the sentence saying how it was strange how they were forgaing for food in groups.</p>

<p>It was scavenge.</p>

<p>Just stop.</p>

<p>/argument</p>

<p>it wasnt scavenges…</p>

<p>pretty sure it was SCAVENGING. Something like this?
Scientists found it strange that ravens foraged in groups, _______ to find food.</p>

<p>Also, did anyone else get experimental CR? It included a dinosaur/anomalous SC, getting lost as an adventure and privilege, etc. I actually did well on that section, meh…</p>

<p>+1 for scavenge here</p>

<p>This is why we need a march QAS</p>

<p>@jimmy</p>

<p>haha, I agree. I just hate it when people jump onto the thread out of nowhere(especially new members) and just seek to challenge questions without even having good backing or remember what it was. I was not being stubborn about my answer (as I have admitted a couple answers I got wrong earlier in the thread), just defending it. ;)</p>

<p>my exp cr was a helen keller one. did anyone else have that? it was horribleeeee</p>

<p>Wait the analogous SC was experimental? Nooooooooo :(</p>

<p>That was one of the tougher SC (for me) that I actually got right</p>

<p>haha, actually my second time. This first time I got a 2220…a 750 on CR. No need to get feisty.</p>

<p>oh and Shim: You are not getting into any colleges you asked a chance for with a 3.6 unweighted GPA.</p>

<p>I also got scavenge. Pretty positive about it, unless I completely missed something.</p>

<p>Hmm I’m at -3 =(.</p>
