May SAT CR Thread

<p>no, it’s still not ludicrous. a good cartoon is humorous, never ludicrous. what happens in the cartoon may be ludicrous, but that cartoon itself would be genuinely funny.</p>

<p>^^ the “economy” thing may have simply been a saying or a common phrase that meant they were similar.</p>

<p>no, I can confidently say it’s succinctly (at least, I hope it is since that’s what I wrote)</p>

<p>what were the choices for the timid employee?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the passages in the experimental?
I had 4 CR sections, but i dont remember anything about africa or venice in the passages??
any more details abt them?</p>

<p>haha mathstar, “i can confidently say this, i just hope i’m not wrong…”</p>

<p>@olleger</p>

<p>Perhaps, but not likely. I think “economy” leads one to the answer “succinctly”
I agree with Matthew. Cartoons are more humorous, not ludicrous.</p>

<p>what do u guys think the curve will be for the CR?</p>

<p>in the question in the passage about the Butler and the quote</p>

<p>one of the questions I think asked about the quote in the beginning of the passage</p>

<p>Was the answer like “heed a warning” or something like that?</p>

<p>chiaokeli - I put reticent. I’m not sure wat the other choices were…
But I’m a loser in CR. Yes. Pretty upsetting. I bombed the string one. I found it really difficult. I’m just hoping for a 600+… I still have June…</p>

<p>yes, that was it</p>

<p>do you guys think CR was easy this time? i’m scared for the curve…</p>

I got “heed a warning” as well.
I wouldn’t say CR was easy but CR wasn’t hard either.</p>

<p>I thought it was a little difficult, but I’m pretty sure CollegeBoard DGAFs about what I think. Expect a curve similar to Jan and March = (</p>

<p>CR always ruins my overall score… depresssed… wish the curve just magically turns out to be extremely generous. and that some of the answers that are being said to be true here aren’t. anyone wanna see my first post and confirm/explain to me why they were wrong? </p>

<p>that’d be really nice.</p>

<p>My first post-</p>

<p>I put “protective” too as it was about how the butler was toward the lawyer. Wasn’t he protective in that he didn’t want to reveal anything? It seemed like the logical answer.</p>

<p>Also, I put for the chimps one that it was because they were working together for both one and two, because the author was definitely not implying that humans were BETTER…and she said they looked like a factory and a nunnery. i’m hoping so.</p>

<p>also, i put that the mom was perplexed for the mother-daughter college passage b/c she was confused about when she would actually tell her daughter about it.</p>

<p>yea critical reading is definitely not my forte, but some of these choices seemed a little more into the text than what was just directly stated in it. </p>

<p>Hope I can get some feedback! Anyone else put the same answers? </p>

<p>Explanations??</p>

I asked a few people I know out of CC and they said the test was hard.</p>

<p>Who knows, since CC is usually described as a collection of the top 2% in America, the rest of the people may think the May SAT was difficult and the curve will be generous. Who knows?</p>

<p>yeah i agree it was hella hard =/</p>

<li><p>i dont think you understood that line. the butler didn’t want to disagree because he didn’t want to cause a conflict with the lawyer and the whole situation.</p></li>
<li><p>if you are talking about the nut question, that’s a different question. your answer was a correct choice for another question.</p></li>
<li><p>she was not confused, she had a whole plan to tell it to her after the daughter settles down.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Back to the sentence completion one, why in the world would the answer be succinctly? Why would paintings be short? what in the world does it mean for a painting to become shorter similar to cartoons? Most cartoon caracters are ludicrous (spelled wrong) though… just my thinking.</p>
