May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>@WaterWorks</p>

<p>^The answer is feeling like they belong, or something along those lines.</p>

<p>this makes me so stressed… lollz</p>

<p>Really? Isn’t that the literal definition?</p>

<p>And when do we get our results?</p>

<p>18 days from now.</p>

<p>god damn do they really need those 18 days, so annoying…</p>

<p>I’m usually in the ~730-~780 range on CR and I thought that the cave painting passages questions were absurdly difficult…</p>

<p>Oh, I think I got a 680, how many wrong is that?</p>

<p>I’m actually pretty sure the one with a foreign student who didn’t like speaking (or something like that) is the experimental one. I actually had the exact same passage in a princeton review diagnostic test, not sure if the questions were the same though. Plus, I’ve asked around and that was the one section that my friends didn’t have (those who had a writing experimental section).</p>

<p>I didn’t have that ^^</p>

<p>Alright I found out the exact answer to the “sparks and smoke” one…The answer I put is “taking a direct approach would be futile” That answer is entirely supported by the preceding paragraphs (which I can’t find online) that spoke about how when people observed the whales they didn’t realize anything was happening because the speed at which whales operate is slower than that of humans. Anyways I am sticking to my guns on this one and thinking that my answer is right.</p>

<p>^It was most certainly effort.</p>

<p>What does having experimental math mean?</p>

<p>It means that the one section (out of the 10 on the test) that doesn’t count was a math section for certain people. College board gives out an extra section to everyone so that they can see how kids do on it and then decide which of the questions they should use for future tests.</p>

<p>I hated the sparks and smoke whale question!! I think I put hard work/effort or something along those lines</p>

<p>im pretty sure it was either futile attempts or hard work but i chose the effort one</p>

<p>Cave passage: did no one get simplistic instead of evocative and moving? I had that question in my mind as I progressed through passage 2 and gurtie said that they were simple drawings since done by teens. Gurtie really said nothing about the drawings being moving as far as I can recall. Someone with a better memory, please enlighten me! <3</p>

<p>i think it was author of passage 1 for that one but im not sure</p>

<p>@lordfarquaad - do you remember what the question was? i think i may have put simplistic as well, but i can’t remember the question.</p>

<p>I can’t exactly remember that question but it was either “what does author 1 think about cave paintings” or “what would the two authors agree upon about cave paintings?”. Leaning towards the second one.</p>
