May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>The two scholars or w.e. did AGREE in their conclusions that the art mattered. Also, it pointed out a specific passage at the end of the essay. It was general agreement. </p>

<p>Are we saying empathy is wrong?</p>

<p>nyjetsknicks - I forget the exact question and its context, but at some point quite a few people agreed on it being wild.</p>

<p>dapatatoman - Empathy is right, I think.</p>

<p>I chose “manner” for the crowd changing. maybe it’s wrong. the previous sentence says “ppl <em>wave</em> their hands”. so i put “manner” T_T</p>

<p>And for video games, what did you say “form” is most like? I was between “type” and “custom”</p>

<p>Ok, oh well, I guess i should’ve kept it…</p>

<p>the question asked how would author 1 respond to author 2’s statement that its the art not the identity that matters</p>

<p>passage 1 was all about praising the artists and how they reveal information about the past which indicates that identity does matter to passage 1 –> mild skepticism</p>

<p>nyjetsknicks - I had type, I felt pretty good about it. Don’t remember the exact context of form though.</p>

<p>It was wild I think. Ugh I do not feel I did well… at all. Do you think the curve will be a little more generous since it was harder than usual? Or am I the only one who thinks so :(</p>

<p>Can someone please refresh my memory… </p>

<p>What was the synthesize / divergent question? I don’t remember choosing that answer so if you could please remind me of the question, I would really appreciate it (:</p>

<p>i don’t specifically remember the context of the cherry blossom one, but i was confident about wild.</p>

<p>video game one i said type, also pretty sure about that one.</p>

<p>for the general agreement vs. skepticism one, does anyone remember the exact wording of the question?</p>

<p>sweetpuri - Something along the lines of synthesizing ideas from different nations to create one divergent unique viewpoint. Mexican and American were the nations mentioned I believe.</p>

<p>Metrical - I agree, it felt hard, though CR is always hard for me I guess…</p>

<p>I should’ve kept type. I think I got about 5 wrong overall for CR, what would that score be? This was my first time taking it, and I though it was harder than most practice tests. Hopefully they curve it a bit.</p>

<p>The agreement-skepticism one was about their CONCLUSIONS, not essays. Which were in agreement.</p>

<p>@dapotatoman the one with obstreperous said something along the lines of 'To call Chris ___ would be to mistake his self-confidence and high energy for willful defiance". Obstreperous is about like obstructing things and being defiant, so that was the answer.</p>

<p>For the question with meditation, it was like some kind of issue required meditation on it or something.</p>

<p>is there any question ask abt scientists change from “certain to uncertain”?</p>

<p>nyjetsknicks - In the 710-760 range probably, unless the curve is extreme in either direction (I’m thinking it’s more likely that the curve is really good than really bad, but probably will end up average).</p>

<p>the scientist one was anticipation to disappointment iirc.</p>

<p>Thanks. Do you remember the other answers for Obstreperous?</p>

<p>@dizzy: phew, i put it too</p>

<p>is the scientist experimental?</p>
