<p>Writing was very easy imo. No super, hard, weird idiom or diction question.</p>
<p>I remember jimmy on the Jan thread basically getting all of them. I don’t know, I found this one much easier, but I am probably going to wind up getting one more raw point than I did last time, so much for the easier part! I only did one point better. (Granted I would have had probably an 790 if I read one question correctly!!!) </p>
<p>Let’s hope this is a good curve Jimmy!</p>
<p>@drac. I strongly believe against qualification. A qualification is a statement like: “I believe that drac proves a good point, BUT he is unfortunately wrong.” It’s a common misconception that people think qualification is like emphasizing a point. From what I can remember, the author was very firm and allowed not “qualifying” statements. Please, feel free to tell me if he did have a “but” or something in there. Because then you would right.</p>
<p>For the chinese passage, there was a question regarding the significance of describing the contents of the armoire. The two choices I narrowed it down to were along the lines of “show her family’s lifestyle when she was young” and “share a part of her culture heritage.” something like that. Anyone remember and know what they got?</p>
<p>i put share</p>
<p>@Monepo ooh yeah for that question i also narrowed it down to those two. i think i finally picked the heritage one, because you don’t know if that was her fam’s lifestyle when the author was young, or if it happened before she was born, or still happens. idk. :/</p>
<p>cultural heritage</p>
<p>okay everyone it was:
-sinister
-argue against change
-process vs. outcome
-scavenge</p>
<p>@csninja</p>
<p>I didn’t say qualification is the answer. Please read my previous posts, I was I said that the author argued against change, not made a qualification.</p>
<p>@squirrel</p>
<p>I can agree with that list even though I got one of those wrong. Those seem most plausible give the debate.</p>
<p>It seems as the general agreed on argue against change but I don’t think sinister question as been agreed on yet.</p>
<p>so far i got minus 1 because for the “writing is fighting” i put sympathetic = fail. lol.
and i still don’t remember the derisive…characterization question. can someone list some more choices for that question?
thanks.</p>
<p>wait what was the writing is fighting one</p>
<p>@nik</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it, it was some easy vocab question. Squirrel just misread it or something and got it wrong.</p>
<p>dang, did anyone put lifestyle? I didn’t really see the cultural heritage, but I noticed that for example the grandpa had high class suits etc. demonstrating that he had a very formal lifestyle. not sure.</p>
<p>@drac
did you count the cabinet sinister one + the undertaking one to your scoring count?</p>
<p>@Drac313 Yeah for sure… Last time I was so confident about those 4 wrong answers (I was totally wrong. Not even close) And then, there was the debate of methodology vs philosophy, to which I said positive medium (this would have been the fifth wrong answer). I actually ended up getting that one right though thank god. Haha memories! This time I feel so much more relaxed. Not anxious in the least.</p>
<p>I think the curve will be better for this one! I wouldn’t worry too much about it! 1 raw point makes a difference in the long run though! You’ll probably end up surprising yourself!</p>
<p>@monepo
I was about to, but then I realized how everything had to do with her connection to china and her heritage. (the embroided cloths and crap from hong kong)</p>
<p>@hans
I omitted one vocab
I got the precipitate vocab q wrong
I got the tone of the last paragraph in passage one Q wrong (read the question wrong)
I think I got the sinister one wrong</p>
<p>so one omit 3 wrong = -5 total with penalties.</p>
<p>I’m at -1 for sure but it’s probably around -4 raw points. I’m so happy though. I retook to improve from a 680 and I definitely did that. So I’m DONE with the SAT. It’s a good feeling haha. It’s probably for the best too; as soon as I woke up from my nap and my headache was much better, the first thing I thought about was how it would be characterized as palliative.</p>
<p>@drac
I got the process/outcome wrong
Omitted the evenhanded q
Got a vocab q wrong
Got back = champion wrong
Put vital in the cabinet q…</p>
<p>@lappith</p>
<p>Which questions are you unsure you got right or wrong?</p>
<p>@hans</p>
<p>The cabinet one, according to the debate seems like</p>
<p>45% chance vital
45% chance sinister
10% chance regal</p>
<p>So you have a good chance of getting that one right, but we will have to see!</p>
