<p>@newton : i think like 44? needs more though… maybe 5???</p>
<p>I was 1000th post!!!</p>
<p>can we agree on the futility/effort thing??? and i really think we need to think of the rest of the cave questions its been bugging me all day :(</p>
<p>Which one was the experimental section?</p>
<p>In march I omitted 2 and got 13 wrong and got a 620 and didnt someone say that 10 wrong is like a 650?</p>
<p>@Newton391244
lol too late dude
youre 1002</p>
<p>@gardy24
now my friend’s saying 10 wrong in CR is sub 500</p>
<p>Let’s not turn this into a “predict my score” thread. </p>
<p><a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf[/url]”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf</a></p>
<p>Assume yellow for worst case scenario. Note that these correspond to raw scores so deduct 1/4 points where necessary. Remember the .5 rounds up!</p>
<p>can we go back to actually figuring out the answers to the questions??? i think thats more important than predicting individual scores…
anything to add to the compiled list … especially cave?</p>
<p>I am trying to include more details for each question so that ppl won’t get confused with which answer is for which question…

- Using analogies and metaphors in writing
- Bursts and smokes meant scientists put in much effort already( there is still discussion on futility vs. effort, but “effort” is most likely the answer)
- Mentioned all EXCEPT WHY the author switched to whale study from owl… study (cuz the author said he first studyed blah blah, which required experimentations, and then switched to whales, without explaning why exactly he swithched)
- reference to another animal: pace of activity
- sonnet: Appreciation of some obvious limitations
- some dialogue ending with” for god’s sake the whales are playing”: Offer a likely train of thought
- whale’s play might not be perceived as what it is at first sight…</p>

- Aesthetic power( this one is quite debatable. I put diversity of content and I am trying to recall some more concrete evidence)
- Beauty is eternal: reverent
- Playfully careless
- Sympathetic( there’s still debate about this one but the correct answer is most likely sympathetic)
- General agreement( is this the final consensus? I put cautious acceptance… Could anyone address this one plz?)
- Evocative and moving( therewas another option like” accessible and soothing”, which wasn’t correct cuz there weren’t anything about accessibility or “soothing”, which means comforting)
- Gifted artists of the Paleolithic period ( this is most likely author 1’s point and the correct answer, but further debate is needed)
-natural historian( other options were: early “attempts by accomplished artists”, which is most likely wrong, and data for art historians)</p>
<p>well we have 9 cave answers already
the others were probably easy ones and probably that’s why nobody really remembers it</p>
<p>There was a vocab question about jewelry for religion being “decorative vs devotional”</p>
<p>im almost positive the jazz one is not demanding but rather that personal training precedes formal training
i also NEED someone to rephrase the questions for the last two cave questions
and i also put diversity of content.</p>
<p>@lordfarquaad
yeah now i remember that one too</p>
<p>Can we discuss unrelenting force and indefinable part of landscape??? I picked the latter; it seemed more specific to the lines indicated.</p>
<p>@vivizz i think the general idea question for the time/space was a “comparison” of some sort between space and time</p>
<p>for the relentless question im sure its right - its been pretty much settled a long time ago… the girl was being “pushed” by the force of the crowd and there was some crap about trees in that paragraph.</p>
<p>aesthetic power is also pretty much decided because the author of p1 was really adamant about the power of the paintings with all the reverent eternal beauty thing but i honestly dont think diversity was a big deal in either passage</p>
<p>evocative and moving is 10000% correct- again, think on the whole reverent beauty stuff - p1 was really big on praising how wonderful the paintings were.</p>
<p>general agreement was pretty good - you missed out on some parts of the discussion and most people put that in. - and collegeboard rarely puts things like “cautious” cuz you dont really know to what degree cautious means…</p>
<p>correct me if im wrong, but i think the list was pretty good.</p>
<p>idk… general agreement is still pretty controversial</p>
<p>Can anyone remember the question that corresponded to “evocative and moving?” I think that’s what I put, but I can’t for the life of me remember the question.</p>
<p>@lord thanks for the input!!! we now officially have 59 :)))))))</p>
<p>If p1 was so reverent would he be not mildly skeptical of most of the artwork done by teenagers?</p>
