May SAT 2011: CR Section

<p>nspiredone: from my experience of taking god knows how many practice tests, as well as what my sat prep teachers insist, "indifferent"is never used as an answer choice. “ambivalent” can be used, but indifferent is a nono because it implies that the passage hasn’t taken a side, even if it isn’t extreme. </p>

<p>and i put in cautious acceptance for that because i thought general agreement would be too extreme (i’m a bit iffy on why i did that)</p>

<p>i agree… any vocab q’s?</p>

<p>for the second reading section i was down to two choices for ques 5-8 and guessed on all of them. if my bad luck doesn’t screw me over i’ll hopefully get 2 right.</p>

<p>cautious acceptance just seems ehh… how did the author sound so cautious and reluctant to accept something throughout the passage? remember, the answer must always be supported by the passage</p>

<p>any vocab from first reading anyone? i remember the last 2 being somewhat difficult</p>

<p>anyone remember the buildin and time question? i put evening classes.</p>

<p>and anyone get like synergize and divergent</p>

<p>and impertubable and something.</p>

<p>^ same!!!</p>

<p>i got synthesize/divergent, but i don’t remember imperturbable</p>

<p>green chemistry= experimental??</p>

<p>consolidated list:</p>

<p>vocab:
sec1:
1.meditation
2.synergize…divergent</p>

<p>sec2:</p>

<p>sec3:
impertutable</p>

<p>Time:
evening classes.</p>

<p>Jazz:
personal creative
difficult</p>

<p>someone told me the cave painting passage was experimental. is that right?</p>

<p>@NspiredOne</p>

<p>Why was the answer to the jazz question “personal creative”? Why wasn’t it that differed between artists?</p>

<p>no… i had a math experimental with some weird bike trip thing that i failed…thank god.</p>

<p>so could you list the ones that were real?
black concert, whales, and cave painting?</p>

<p>i dont know all the answers… its a CONSOLIDATED effort.</p>

<p>Does CR always have 67 ques? If so, then the second section was the experimental since the first section had 23 ques, second had 24, third had 25, and last had 19. 23+25+19 = 67
I think that was the green chem one.</p>

<p>Yeah I know I just missed the post that mentioned it. Just checking if you knew.</p>

<p>I felt that the CR was pretty hard this time…usually I get 2 wrong in every section, but wouldn’t be surprised if there were one or two sections that I got 5 wrong in. I guess I’ll find out in 3 weeks… I just need higher than a 680!</p>

<p>@fluffy
could you job my memory about the green chem one?</p>

<p>and could anyone list all the actual real sections please?</p>

<p>it was like changing chemicals of things to make it more beneficial to the environment or something</p>

<p>green chem = experimental</p>

<p>hmmm, i know i had an experimental one, but not that one i think</p>
