MARCH 2013 SAT CR Discussion

<p>For the sentence completion with the asteroids, which was, I think, in the same section as Apollo 8, what did you guys get?</p>

<p>I put extrapolate from… I think I was wrong.</p>

<p>It was emenate…</p>

<p>thecollective: it was emanate from.</p>

<p>dang it…
vocab’s my weakest subject…sigh.</p>

<p>Noone remembers the last question? Was it about the pompous boy or was that a different one?</p>

<p>Anyone remember #14 (Sorry for being unspecific) about the classical music passages?</p>

<p>I know I got every other one right except for the last two questions and maybe #14. I put C but im not sure if its correct.</p>

<p>Also a bit worried on the double happiness pasages</p>

<p>@thecollective- haha wait same- don’t worry it seems from the general feel of things that everyone felt the same way, so CB will adjust accordingly.</p>

<p>thanks @xocaroline, too, for answering my q!!</p>

<p>Adding on to my post what was the other obvious choice for the culture one, I think I put pre-established traditions, but I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Also for the Cairo one, with melancholy, what were the other choices? I think I didn’t melancholy, but again not to sure.</p>

<p>For the unconverted question…was the small cohort the same thing as the culturally literate or was that another answer alltogether</p>

<p>Instead of “Sanguine…resilience” I put credulous and variability. Doenst it make sense to say that although the amount of birds and etc is declining, the people are still “credulous” to believe that there’s “variability”</p>

<p>for the last paragraph of the suriname question- still not really getting the “comprehensive” answer. would the jungle be representative of ALL ecosystems that her work could be tested in? i mean that jungle is very different from amsterdam. so it doesn’t even include amsterdam, which is what comprehensive would be implying. the jungle was just a different place that she studied in, not one that could represent areas everywhere. i put problematic, though it’s not the best vocab word, because i mean she spent 30 years developing a theory that doesn’t work in this jungle… so the jungle is definitely a problem to her.</p>

<p>@dimmesdale- whats the story behind your username? because i remember that that’s the town timmy turner and his godparents live in hahaha</p>

<p>Hey guys, what do you think 5 wrong in CR would be for this one?</p>

<p>what were the other choices for “unfortunate dichotomy” (classical music passage)?
I can’t remember what I put.</p>

<p>Also, can anyone explain why “great” meant eminent, not elaborate?
I felt that “great men” meant those who could explain to the author of theories or some stuff related to studies.</p>

<p>Lastly, in the classical music passage, why couldn’t it be “people regard music emotionally, not cerebrally,” instead of “categorical?” I thought that in the last paragraph of passage 1, the author was talking about how people SHOULD, INTENTIONALLY listen to classical music.</p>

<p>Not trying to argue, just desperate to get a 700 in CR… </p>

<p>Also, how many wrong (no omits) in CR would get me a 700 this time?</p>

<p>Eminent means famous and respected in their fields. She’d have to ask the people who were the most recognized in their field to get an answer, yet she didn’t. I’m assuming when they mean elaborate, they meant as a complicated person which isn’t necessary. They asked for what did great men mean, not what the great men’s theories were.</p>

<p>Can anybody tell me how many wrong I can get in CR for a 700 if I omitted 2?</p>

<p>@satan 6 <a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>But on the “problematic” question, the last paragraph is referred to not the intro or other parts of the passage. It says that she could figure out all the questions about Amsterdam but new questions would always arise in Suriname. Problematic makes very little sense in this context. Comprehensive seems to be a more appropriate answer than problematic.</p>

<p>Also on the question in the classical music passage, why is understatement the correct answer. The author at first says that something doesnt feel right and then says something isnt right. The “feels” part seems to make the first statement an understatement. Doesn’t this mean that we can eliminate it. BTW what were all the answer choices on that question.</p>

<p>@heyhi: Dimmsdale is also a character in The Scarlet Letter</p>

<p>Anyone have the answers to the happiness paragraphs?</p>
