<p>This is kinda late, but for the one about what both passages agreed on (TV and courts), the consolidated states that they both believed that TV could be educational in courts.</p>
<p>Not sure, but I thought the first passage was the complete opposite–that TV often only went into the very private and emotional matters of the court participants.</p>
<p>Instead, I put the answer that stated that they both believed TV could be a distraction, since at the end of the second passage, it made the concession of stating that TV has the possibility of being a distraction, and therefore it must be up to the Judge to decide.</p>
<p>They both supported TV in a sense in an educational way, they just had different views on how far or how true the cases would be in a public televised environment.</p>
Yes, I believe so. While you’re right about the general intent of the passages, the first one admitted that TV did have some redeeming value. The author said that <em>some</em> cases could have educational value.</p>
<p>It was important to look at the phrasing. The weasel word of “some” in the first option provided more potential for agreement.</p>
<p>Oh yeah. I hated that passage. Is this overall CR considered to be hard to those who took SAT’s in the past. My first time and I thought the CR was pretty hard. Math was easy and writing was fair except the essay…</p>
<p>it depends on the person’s affinity for a subject. Obviously, if you’re good at English, you’re more likely to score better in CR and Writing, but it still doesn’t mean that you will still get 700+. But improving on what you’re good at is easier than improving on what you’re not good at.</p>
<p>For me, CR and W would be harder for me because I’m better at math than at English.</p>
