<p>@obutto um… for january sat curve, low 700 was about 5-6 wrong</p>

<p>I put that as well @Yunsang and @obutto</p>

<p>The other one that I thought the answer could be was B, but I forgot how the wording went. It had to do with the whether courts consider their cases important when it comes to application of law or something.</p>

<p>Dinosaurs:
something referred specifically to the movement of the birds’ feet
previous knowledge led to different conclusions from the computer simulation
human footprint in wet vs dry soil- provides an example people can relate to to illustrate the point</p>

<p>TV Dinners:
main idea-to dispel a common misconception
broccoli-illustrates a general point</p>

<p>Unfailing - something about math and children developing on a math clock
Caustic/Obstreperous - Something about some lady’s criticism or behavior
Resplendant- The one about original silks for their time period
cursory- scientists said they couldn’t use the text b/c it was superficial</p>

<p>-3 would be like a 790 I thought?</p>

<p>And I agree with Yunsang.</p>

<p>And wait broccoli = “general point”…I think I put something else. Or maybe not, someone remind me of other choices?</p>

<p>@yankeefan</p>

<p>Same.</p>

<p>Proficient … Repertoire
salutary … Unconventional</p>

<p>“Effects of TV on Courts Double Passage”
“Both authors granted concessions”</p>

<p>For the first one, was another choice the effect of cameras on court?
For the second, what was the question?</p>

<p>“Proficient … Repertoire”
Are you sure it was repertoire?
“salutary … Unconventional”
Agreed</p>

<p>Crap Superficial/Cursory was the scientist one? I put vapid/something else. Crap I epic failed the sentences and I actually studied vocab this time too. Hopefully I did well enough on the passages.</p>

<p>EDIT-Confirm salutary/unconventional</p>

<p>was something like “dinosaurs lower their heels first” as a correct answer to one of the questions?</p>

<p>It was repertory, not repertoire.</p>

<p>it was proficient/repertory</p>

<p>was it the correct answer though?</p>

<p>I also got salutary/unconventional.</p>

<p>@dark knight</p>

<p>agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeee</p>

<p>@ iforgeteasily: Yep</p>

<p>Someone confirm that purpose of broccoli question?</p>

<p>The new discoveries contradicted the computer models </p>

<p>Wasn’t it that the 2-D foot prints in hard surfaces contradicted the new computer models? It was like the last question?</p>
