<p>erm i remember for the vocab q there was an author who rarely “grants” interviews and “refuses” promotional ****.</p>
<p>@mangoaddict
yeah i remember too
about a shy author who avoided interviews
I also chose grant and what ever the other one was</p>
<p>I have no memory of any author or interviews… that may be experimental</p>
<p>@yoursky
i do remember that, but precedes does not just mean chronologically. the word precedes also means to come before in rank or importance
the answer choice was also that it “SHOULD precede” not that it actually does
from the tone of the passage, i believe the author was more attracted to the finding your soul part rather than the intonation blah blah blah</p>
<p>I’m tending to agree with ‘yoursky.’ The passage indicated the opposite of that answer choice; the writer mentioned that conservatory training (i.e. formal training) is a natural starting point for jazz artists, but, after that, it is up to the musician to “find their own soul.” Hence, in this sense, <em>formal training</em> precedes “theoretical training,” not the other way round. So, that couldn’t have been the answer… But that’s just my inference.</p>
<p>whale:
Mentioned all EXCEPT motivation to study whales- was it something like “WHY the author switched to whale study”</p>
<p>concert:
i put unrelenting force<br>
and ughh i’m so mad i chose new lifestyle over belonging. that question is bothering me so much.</p>
<p>cave painting:
aesthetic power or diversity of content? i put aesthetic power</p>
<p>@miafl23
pretty sure it’s been decided as aesthetic power</p>
<p>@jameswa
i would agree with you, if it hadn’t been for one sentence, although i can’t really remember what it was loll
i guess that wasn’t really an argument… =P</p>
<p>do u guys think curve would be harsh or generous?</p>
<p>I’m thinking -3</p>
<p>@■■■■: i get your logic now actually. if collegeboard used that secondary term (which they tend to do occasionally) it’s very probable that could be the answer choice. though “should” feels like an extreme use of word choice (i know it isn’t in real life, but CB-wise word choice sometimes gives away what is and what isn’t the answer. minority non-discrimination, for example.) but that’s really just me so can’t tell.</p>
<p>the curve, i think, is going to be pretty standard. -6 = 700? is what i consider “standard” (if you have the blue book, this is generally what comes out in the curves of the practice tests) so yeah =/</p>
<p>■■■■: Fair enough! Anyway, no one can seem to agree on that question. Some say that learning jazz is strenuous, others say the value of classical training is debatable and others say that theoretical training should precede formal training. Really, I think that was a pretty poor question on CB’s part in that too many choices were close and that a few could fit, depending on your interpretation of the passage.</p>
<p>HEY GUYS:</p>
<ul>
<li>Endless ground : inclusiveness of society </li>
</ul>
<p>(^CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS QUESTION FOR ME, I REMEMBER PICKING SOMETHING ELSE!!!)</p>
<p>It was talking about everyone of all colors standing on firm ground or something. Not sure about the exact wording, but foundation for the inclusiveness of society was definitely the choice. Ground implied foundation and the diversity of people implied inclusiveness.</p>
<p>misnomer was a vocab ques i think</p>
<p>Sweetpuri, I can’t explain it well, but the black people felt included. It was the best answer outta the bunch. </p>
<p>Can someone explain why the evocative/moving couldn’t be simplistic/(other word)? Did gurtie not think they were simplistic?</p>
<p>@dublan
I also got that</p>
<p>I ans misnomer too
hope we are all correct!</p>
<p>Yeah misnomer was definitely one of the answers… I’m pretty postive I got all of the vocab questions right.</p>
<p>Yet another interpretation of that jazz question: I said the training was difficult to assess because it was talking about how jazz training involves a lot of intangibles (like finding your soul, etc)</p>
