May SAT CR Thread

<p>^ well “cracking nuts” cant be completely “infered” from monkeys randomly hammering on things lol. Monkeys dont even eat nuts so ***. lol </p>

<p>if nuts indeed was the answer, it is certainly the stupidest question CB has ever made lol.</p>

<p>hahah really. i actually read the diamond passage before the sat and answered questions on it with my tutor. the correct answer is defamed and the correct answer is brevity. also want means lack of not desire</p>

<p>could someone explain to me why the answer was to dispel something?</p>

<p>^^ wow, a testament that they do recylce tests.</p>

<p>WAIT! IDEA! someone check the other SAT boards for this test. I remember the test in December was recylced and everything was still on CC.</p>

<p>oh and about the cracking nuts, I’ve found that CB usually never includes an answer choice that wouldn’t make sense in fact (like eating nuts), rather they test to see if you can extrapolate what might be going on.</p>

<p>@nuts question
Did anyone else put working together? or was that completely wrong.
Reason i didnt choose nuts was all the chimps were hammering away at roots and logs? or something, and sentence immediately after (although next paragraph) it talked about how it was a factory…so idk, they never really said anything about actually cracking nuts. and yeah, i eliminated mimicking because that was too far…</p>

<p>the test in 09 december was recycled???</p>

<p>are u sure? lol i’m gonna check CC for every test since march 2005. besides the QAS obviously since I already have those.</p>

<p>wait so nuts was the answer? did u pick that? ???</p>

<p>WOW! 2 of the sections, the string theory and the frida kuhla or whatever were experimentals liek a year or so ago I think. Trying to find more info.</p>

<p>eh couldn’t find anything more.</p>

<p>^ what year and how do you know. which test dates were they experimental?</p>

<p>I searched “string theory” in the fourm and it was from like 2008.</p>

<p>hahah well i dont know if they recycle tests it was copied out of a practice book. and amazingly it was the exact same questions. i didn’t even read the passage i answered the questions in 3 minutes and positive about the answers</p>

<p>Oh, that string theory looked familiar, I saw it when I took the SAT as a Freshman towads the end of the year or sophomore beginning of the year. I didnt have to read a lot of it, but Im pretty sure it wasnt the EXACT same paragraphs.</p>

<p>@sariejackson: which passage and could you post your answers please. Also what practice book?</p>

<p>^^ and ^^^, Interesting…</p>

<p>still got that review book of yours saraejackson?</p>

<p>it was not in a review book it was a packet. the story was longer in the packet though. ive been looking for the packet since the sat no luck yet i hope that i find it
for the question what does want of mean
The memories of innocent people may suffer, hereafter, for want of a record of the facts to which those who come after us can appeal.</p>

<p>the do desire the record that is correct but in context the lack the record with real facts which is appealing. he does desire the real facts yes but the correct answer is lack of.</p>

<p>I believe paradox was an answer not sure though</p>

<p>You’re right I think.</p>

<p>I think it should be uniqueness ,not brevity of an interval. The butler said “only” several times to show that the quote is an omen, it’s a coincidence. In addition, what interval there is? literally that’s the choice I hardly paid attention.</p>

<p>I was under the impression that the coincidence was that the quote became true so soon after he read it. otherwise, why would he bother saying the actual times?</p>

<p>it makes some sense. but the answer is brevity of an interval</p>

<p>thats why the time was mentioned thats why its an omen. if he read that quote when he was 5 and is now much older its not an omen. the fact that he just recently opened to that quote is the entire point of the quote being considered an omen</p>
