<p>d3!ty was the right answer generational difference?</p>
<p>Yes, more accurately the "perception of" what you mentioned. THe key to being successful on the essay was to constrast the subjectivity of <em>topic</em> against the impossibility to have an abstract concept towards the <em>topic</em></p>
<p>I put the second was more judgmental...</p>
<p>yea, d3ity sorry man i think most of my answers and everyone elses differ from yours...what did you get on the last SAT?</p>
<p>The lack of quotation marks in the passage concerning the remodeled house signified the grandparent's lack of irony or humor. I remember distinctly an adjectice such as straightforward when describing their attitude.
On another note, anyone remeber the question in the quantum physics passage that referred to the selected sentence concerning the fact that their theories were no longer provisional? I chose an answer that stated they could no longer believed the common man could comprehend them.
Although I was familiar with Feynman and physics, that passage was one of the most convoluted I have encountered on the SAT.</p>
<p>I also said that the 2nd passage was judgmental.</p>
<p>1337hax0r, I got an 800 CR last time. Sounds like I really f%cked it up this time.</p>
<p>Some questions:
Very very last question on the test about Iraq:
did anyone choose answer D? Seemed like the only one with parallel structure</p>
<p>I really don't see how passage 2 was "judgemental"...</p>
<p>mariner...for that one I think I put something about the different realities meant that nothing could be right in every situation.</p>
<p>I also said the 2nd passage was more judgmental. The parents stated the word modern "simply and positively" or something along those lines, so I put lack of irony or self-consciousness. I recall being unsure of this answer, but I choose the one I did because it was better than the other choices. I thought the Feynman passage was pretty easy, but I was familiar with the subject matter beforehand, which always helps.</p>
<p>Yeah, that sounds like the one I picked...lack of irony or self-consciousness.</p>
<p>Hey d3!ty. I put D for the very last question too, but it's the only question that I'm kicking myself over now. I think that answer was in the wrong tense. I'm not absolutely positive though since I was getting a little schwacked after four hours of testing.</p>
<p>Passage 2 was more judgmental because it condemned people for lying. Passage 1 had a rather nonchalant attitude towards liars.</p>
<p>Rtael.... that was my second choice. However, reading the italicized introduction said something along the lines of the other answer choice. Also, my understanding of physics told me that was an incorrect statement. Even though there is a wave-particle duality, there is still a singular reality. If that was the right answer ETS may have screwed up.</p>
<p>could passage 2 also have been more "speculative" than passage 1? passage 2 seemed to be more biased and reliant on subjective and theoritical situations, where passage 1 was more concrete and analytical. i was feeling a little looseness in passage 2, so i put speculative, but i was deciding between judgemental and that. </p>
<p>hoping for 750CR 790M 760W (LOL im putting 760 writing because i want it to even out to a nice 2300, yea OK like thats gonna happen with my 3 paragraph essay)</p>
<p>Damn I'm down 2 CR now. Oh well, I'm pretty sure about I got the Trinidad section totally right. House section I got mostly right...up until the Physics passage.</p>
<p>"Physical intution" was Einstein's use of sensory feeling? Sensory something? It was between that and "a combination of natural inutition and logic"</p>
<p>"shattered" was used to describe how badly the theorems were disproved? Please God say that is right. </p>
<p>AND WHAT THE HELL WAS THE ANSWER TO THE LAST PROBLEM ON THE TEST!?!</p>
<p>Yes that was the answer for physical intuition question.</p>
<p>Did anyone else sense an overwhleming effort to introduce black culture in the writing and CR sections? Articles or questions about Trinidad, Sojourner Truth, Langston Hughes, Afrobeat or something else to name a few. I speculate this is in response to all the negative criticism the collegeboard has been getting lately.</p>
<p>I would say that passage 2 was not more speculative than passage 1 at all. If anything, passage 1 was the more speculative. Passage 2 was entirely focused on condemning lying.</p>
<p>Mariner21</p>
<p>I put something about there being different realities as well. I was reluctant to put it for the reason that you mentioned, but the passage had a sentence that specifically stated that there were different realities.</p>
<p>Bloody he!!.... lol I read the 6,8,9 999 question wrong too. Blah... Oh well, that's the only mistake I know of for sure so far. <em>crosses fingers</em></p>
<p>d3!ty</p>
<p>For the "shattered" question, I originally put your answer. I changed it because I'm pretty sure that it was emphasizing the physicists' previous oversimplifications of reality.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the answer to the last problem on the test was A. I personally thought it was a bad question, though that won't convince the CB to change my score :-(.</p>
<p>What did you guys get for the writing question on Willa Cather (#19)?</p>
<p>Sv'rone: I wish I could remember the exact wording on that question. Thats terrible that an article from a physics journal or somewhere along those lines would contain such an ambiguity.</p>
