May 2008 CR Passage

<p>What was the point of view or perspective or whatever about that one with the girl who went to the school? I narrowed it down to either the adult reminiscing or the child actualizing a realization or something. Thanks (I'm fairly sure that that was the only one, or one of two that I missed)</p>

<p>(Any thoughts on what the curve might be?)</p>

<p>It's adult reminiscing.</p>

<p>Curve is (hopefully) going to be lenient because CR was hard this time. Harder than March.</p>

<p>it was the adult reminiscing</p>

<p>the hardest passage i thought was the paint/rocks passage.</p>

<p>I didn't think it was an adult reminiscing. I thought it was recalling a childhood realization (aka, her independence).</p>

<p>^ Did you read the italics? It said the passage was about a girl remembering her experience away from home or something along those lines.</p>

<p>Big hint right there.</p>

<p>I don't remember the choices exactly... what were the choices?
Adult reminiscing about a childhood experience
And recalling a childhood realization are pretty close?</p>

<p>Feed, those were the two most likely answers. The adult reminiscing is correct as the italics told us it was an adult reflecting. </p>

<p>@eeeeric - Yea, the rocks passage I got at least 3x... <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Ditto - hope the curve is lenient... 740 w/ 7x?!?! Any takers!? lol.</p>

<p>Crap!! I think I got that adult reminiscing wrong because I didn't read the italics at the beginning of the passage! F*** F*** F*** F***!</p>

<p>I never read the italics, but I got the answer right. It is obviously reflecting. Children do not write like that.</p>

<p>7x is like a 690.... I wouldn't count on it. I said adult reminiscing, as the author was writing it as an adult telling her story. It was all 'when I was young my mother..."</p>

<p>For the first question, did you say her mother never wanted to live in a city? I was going back between that and 'didn't want to live in NewYork' and it may even have been 'put her daughters welfare above her own'. Whats the right one?</p>

<p>It's the latter... putting her daughter's welfare above her own necessities.
That was pretty obvious.</p>

<p>I'd go w/ put her daughter's welfare above her own.....</p>

<p>I put daughters welfare.</p>

<p>^ I'm sure of it.
The first para said the mother put away the money, didn't tell anyone about it... and didn't buy food, pay bills or anything with it.
'That money was mine.'...</p>

<p>einstein: Feed, those were the two most likely answers. The adult reminiscing is correct as the italics told us it was an adult reflecting.</p>

<p>@eeeeric - Yea, the rocks passage I got at least 3x... <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>Ditto - hope the curve is lenient... 740 w/ 7x?!?! Any takers!? lol.</p>

<p>I got 6 wrong and 1 omitted on the March test and received a score of 690 on CR...so 7 wrong probably will land you 700 if your lucky.. also fyi May's test had easier vocab so the curve might not be that much better than March's curve.</p>

<p>^ I thought the March Vocab was easier than May's... Hm.
I also got a 690 on it.</p>

<p>I did study vocab for May's test though.. that might have something to do with it...</p>

<p>^ I did too... hm. Oh well.
What are you expecting your scores to be?</p>

<p>There were italics!?</p>

<p>xD I completely didn't see those; child realization seemed to cover it more since reminisce seemed less correct in context... less reminiscing more talking about a realization to me. idk, hopefully the curve will pull me to a 1600</p>

<p>EDIT: What exactly did the italics say?</p>

<p>How many rock questions were there? I am thinking about the worst.</p>
