<p>what was the question in the passage about diamond, it was something like: what does this warning mean and it was talking about the innocent, jeez that was a bad explanation lol</p>
<ol>
<li><p>nominal – does anyone remember the exact question or the context of the question???</p></li>
<li><p>path in the string theory section - what does it mean??</p></li>
</ol>
<p>pleaseeeeee going crazy right now</p>
<p>gahh i hate critical reading. thanks for the feedback though.</p>
<p>and what about the useless flattery vs. exaggerated self-regard. I thought the flattery was both for himself and all of humankind in some way…so i didn’t think it was purely self-regard.</p>
<p>and for the innocent people were defamed?? why not “guilt”?
momentary perplexity vs. increasing alarm?? i thought the butler seemed pretty easy going in the beginning but he started feeling unsure at that point</p>
<p>succinct doesn’t necessarily mean short–it can just mean simple–and the clue was “economy”–economical things are simple, short, to the point, etc</p>
<p>^ hmmm… that is a good point…</p>
<p>The path was unexpecting and something about not a straight line</p>
<p>Definetly exaggerated self-regard.</p>
<p>I had guilt, but if you read it carfully, their character was destroyed, they were defamed</p>
<p>the butler was confused by what was going on. didnt understand the situation.</p>
<p>succinct does not mean short.</p>
<p>@college confidential</p>
<p>I have reason for false hope now. I think, after hearing all of your difficulties with the CR on this month’s test, that this was indeed one of the most difficult tests yet. And consequently, it warrants a suitable curve for its overwhelming difficulty. </p>
<p>I’m looking through my January QAS right now…the passages are literally 1/2 to 3/4 the size of the passages we faced today, with the exception of the butler passage. that was the only passage of moderately easy difficulty I came across today, along with frida kahlo (a half passage in its own right). </p>
<p>Chimpanzees do more than break nuts. CB should realize the human significance behind it, but they are numskulls that fail to do so. </p>
<p>And, lastly, I propose that the CC community protests if we all consistently get scores lower than our previous ones or absurd scores that are in no way reflective of our abilities. </p>
<p>These are the makings of a new court case-- College Board vs. College Confidential - _ -</p>
<p>For the “complex mathematics” question, I don’t really see how that was the answer
?
I think the question specifically mentioned an “unprecedented” situation or something to that effect, and complex equations are certainly not unprecedented.</p>
<p>personally, i did not find the CR hard. and i do usually find CRs hard.</p>
<p>^^ SAME! I remember eliminating it immideitly. I put D. Whatever that was. It was either that or A, and it definetly wasn’t A.</p>
<p>@prattennis_1 </p>
<p>Agreed. These curves are getting really out of hand. I rather have a hard test than an easy test if that’s what it takes.</p>
<p>what do u guys think a -10 to 12 on crit read would be? it was harsh for me.</p>
<p>olleger,
To clarify:</p>

economy-

<p>Succinct and economy fit perfectly.</p>
<p>I admit defeat = /.</p>
<p>About the math complexity thing, how many people actually put this as their answer?</p>
<p>everyone, especially regarding:
complex math
nuts and factories
fits and starts
collection of individual accounts</p>
<p>please, there’s a search function for a reason.</p>
<p>Olleger-</p>
<p>Apparently a lot, since it’s on the list. I got that one wrong too. What’d you put?</p>
<p>The math complexity - I already said this but I was back and forth between that answer and “a testament to the complexity of the theory” and I believe I ended up putting the other one.
They were answers C and D I believe, if not D and E.</p>
<p>I put D. I forget the answer choice though. Do you remember the 5? The first was the theoretical part of physics. One was the math complexity. Other 3?</p>
<p>^ YES that is what I put! “a testament to the complexity of the theory”.</p>
<p>In the passage 1 it says that the math was complex, yes, but in passage 2, it says that for 20 years we found no tangible results, and this IS NOT b/c the equations were complex but b/c the theory was complex.</p>
<p>olleger-</p>
<p>I put the “arbitrary nature of science”. I think that was D.
I think I understand why “complexity” is right though.</p>
<p>so… instead of the answers, how’d you guys think you did? I was thinking more of a 600-650 for me. It was in my opinion still hard and difficult than in march and January.</p>
