<p>I wasn’t sure on the “What can one do?” questions either. On the bird one previously mentioned, I just put down that they were measures of time, because they next sentence said something along the lines of “breaking up time” or “dividing spaces of time.”</p>
<p>I answered “exhoratory” for the last question as well. None of the others seemed to fit.</p>
<p>Also: what did the shuttle represent?</p>
<p>whatd you guys think the curve is gonna look like?</p>
<p>If anyone’s interested in discussing this test, PM me and I’ll send you a link to a chatroom I made.</p>
<p>The what can one do question was an except question and it was the one about her illness being better or something. The bird one I put that they were unconcerned about the future because it said they were “noiseless.”</p>
<p>^I put that too.</p>
<p>Wait, so how does the birds being noiseless translate into being unconcerned with time? I thought it was just the opposite-- the next line of the poem talked about how the birds broke the time into intervals, or something similar.</p>
<p>I said the “shuttle” was man being restless, or something similar.</p>
<p>Does anyone have comments on the “what can one do?” questions?</p>
<p>The answer choice was that the birds sang at fixed intervals, which was not true.</p>
<p>i answered they were “continuously making noise”, “not stopping”, or something similar to that</p>
<p>Okay for the bird one. It wasn’t mechanical because birds aren’t mechanical and the poem didn’t imply they were. It wasn’t “singing at timed intervals” because birds don’t sing at timed intervals, some birds don’t even sing. The poem doesn’t say they do. It does however imply that somehow they mark the passage of time. The choices left I think are either they are continually in motion, in flight, or that they spy on animals, being ‘noiseless’, able to fly, and birds are pretty much everywhere. </p>
<p>A shuttle on a loom always moves. It’s constantly in motion and rocks all over the place.</p>
<p>Hello lit test friends! HAha…notice this thread is significanly shorter than the other ones. Lit is just plain difficult.
For the shuttle question, I got that it is continually in motion.</p>
<p>It seems like the curve will be pretty generous, from looking at the difficulty of the test and practice test curves, but this is my first time taking so I don’t know much =)</p>
<p>jayay90: So wait which answer are you saying is correct? Wasn’t there a choice about being unconcerned for the future because I remember putting that.</p>
<p>Yeah it is continual motion. Does anyone remember what they got for the roman numeral question on the first paragraph of the passage about “darkness”? It was like I. Changes in tense II. Changes in point of view and III. Changing attitudes about the future. I said I and II only because the first paragraph didn’t really seem like their attitudes became different, but I definitely was uneasy. I was positive that I and II were there, just only kind of sure about III not being there.</p>
<p>this test was pretty fricking brutal. and i consider myself really good at SAT CR, too. Did anyone else find the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern passage questions suspiciously easy? Also the first poem and the last one… so hard. For the last poem, what was the speaker’s attitude to the summer lane mischiefs or whatever? i think i put approving, but i had 5 minutes left, so probably wrong…</p>
<p>I said approving too, and I was pretty confident.</p>
<p>Haha…I didn’t think the Rosencrantz and Guildenstern questions were easy. For example, what was the purpose of the two spies dying? i put for comic relief, but idk</p>
<p>argh. the proctor was terrible and never told us about the minutes left, and there was no clock in the room, so i skimmed rosencrantz and guildenstern. i probably missed a lot of the deeper meaning. for the spy question, i totally forgot what i put. what were the other options?</p>
<p>i don’t remember now…comic relief is the one that stood out to me. I think there was something about making the audience sad/solemn</p>
<p>Any idea how many you could miss (having answered all but 3) and still make 750+?</p>
