<p>i put in particular, and i thought it was really easy.</p>
<p>first they’re talking about how the books are extremely fragile and shouldn’t be touched
then they say that university students specifically shouldnt touch them</p>
<p>they go from a broad generalization to a particular example that they discuss for the rest of the passage. how would university students be more “broadly speaking” than people in general???</p>
<p>@HSClass2013, THATS exactly what I thought when it wrote it down;however, it didn’t talk about students not touching them — it talked about students not having the need for them. 2 different topics cannot be transitioned using in particular.</p>
<p>Well the students wouldn’t be the ones who are doing the broad speaking. If you put “broadly speaking” it would sound like the author is acknowledging that he is making a pretty big generalization (which he is).</p>
<p>In particular I would say might work if there had been mention of students in the earlier sentence. But there wasn’t. The previous sentence just mentioned that books should be preserved rather than used. Thus, I am not convinced that “in particular” is correct. It did not go broad----> specific. Rather, it went broad to broad generalization so “broadly speaking” seems a reasonable answer.</p>
<p>I said in particular, it made sense to me at the time, but I see strong arguments on both sides so the best we can do is wait for our scores and stop wasting pages debating. Also, there is a separate thread dedicated to writing, so please post your questions regarding writing in that thread.</p>
<p>A few questions of my own (note I had EXP, not venice or fluoride in water):</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I answered a vocab question (I think it was two blanks) and one of the blanks (I think the first) was fortitude. Did anyone else do this as well? or does anyone else remember the specifics of this question?</p></li>
<li><p>I had a vocab question where someone says something like “I originally thought my boss was _____, but I was wrong; he isn’t inept or weak” or something like that. anyone remember specifics? answers?</p></li>
<li><p>had a vocab question regarding the conservation of land, I was wondering if anyone knew the specifics of that one as well?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>big generalization is relative. if he went from, say, john doe to all university students that would be a big generalization. but they went from all people to all university students, which is an example.</p>
<p>and siddy i don’t remember the exact sentence wording, but i guess we’ll just have to wait a couple weeks and see :)</p>

<p>@HSclass, i hope you’re right. If you are, im 100% sure i got an 800 in writing :D</p>
<p>I really think it is broadly speaking. On the buffalo question I narrowed it down to two on the 2nd blank. impassive and stolid. Does anybody remember what was in front of those 2 words?</p>
<p>@bluedevils
i believe the correct choice was gregarious…stolid</p>
<p>gregarious i think</p>
<p>So for the name of the book, it was definitely satircal because of intention mistakes indicating irony, right? </p>
<p>Also, what about the group animals that travel as a herd (vocab section)? I think I put companionate and skitty, but not sure…:/</p>
<p>@hey
yea i put satirical.
look above haha, its gregarious and stolid</p>
<p>Nevermind, question has been answered. My mistake!</p>
<p>To confirm to everyone else: Yea it was Gregarious…Stolid.</p>
<p>Anyone else felt pressured on time on the section with the girl with the art major who dances? I initially omitted like 8 b/c I was out of time. I moved onto other sections and only had a chance once to come back to the section and do 3 more, no time for any more.</p>
<p>I felt guilty for working on a diff section but I couldn’t afford omitting 8, ended up omitting 5 on just that one section. Then like 7 more (max) throughout the rest. Dang, I’m already out of like 150 points, right?</p>
<p>@Alok, sorry to say, but omitting 12 is quite bad D: Unless you’re confident with all your other answers, I would be looking at a 500 - 600 range.</p>
<p>I’m saying I omitted 12 throughout the whole test, not just one category :P. Now that I think about it, it’s more like 8 or 9 that I omitted. Oh well, did pretty well when I compared answers with you guys. Got 2-3 wrong in CR, and 2-3 wrong in Math, and 2 wrong in W, 10 at least on essay. Hoping for atleast 2100…</p>
<p>anyone get boon…universal? or was that exp?</p>
<p>don’t remember if it was exp or not but i had that question and i got the same thing</p>
<h1>5. for one about negotiators or something I said a.) spurn and I know B.) sequester was also a choice, any insight on this?</h1>
<p>@usnfilms
for the boon question, was it about teacher gives student a boon but enthusiasm was not universal or something?</p>
