November 2008 SAT Critical Reading

<p>was elite/function one? about the scribes? and what about the packaging short passage - was it that food industries were eager to keep using their technologies…and was it convenient?</p>

<p>yes elite/function is correct. yes food industries eager to use their technologies…and i put absurd not convenient</p>

<p>only one that made sense about the food. the public was never directly mentioned</p>

<p>was the answer to the one with the answer choice perennial…unique? because it said the current manifestation was just like it has always been…therefore it was “not _____” or not “unique”??</p>

<p>if its unique, then why has it always been?</p>

<p>i forgot what I put…</p>

<p>damn…</p>

<p>anyone remember the choices</p>

<p>yeah it was unique. elephant passage–what was the difference in the rhetoric of each author’s first paragraph?</p>

<p>Personal anecdote to general overview.</p>

<p>personal anecdote/general observation?</p>

<p>how hard was this CR section compared to the October one?</p>

<p>yay! haha…</p>

<p>what about the use of quotation marks for “famous” ???</p>

<p>to show that it was ironic or paradoxical? since they were famous but only among a select few</p>

<p>i put irony</p>

<p>that’s what i put but i wasn’t too sure… the cliche choice seemed wrong and so did the contradiction one…</p>

<p>i put stating authors point…he definitely used it with a negative connotation.</p>

<p>wait…how is it ironic? </p>

<p>its a paradox because although the data of poetry leads one to believe that it is thriving, it is actually only affecting a select few.</p>

<p>idk, i thought that was one of the easier ones.</p>

<p>for the bioluminescence, did you say for “foolish” that it was paradoxical since they actually hid in the dark using lights.</p>

<p>i think it is ironic…</p>

<p>TheMan, I doubt anyone who took this test took the Oct one because the scores come out the weekend before the next test and registration is done by then</p>

<p>TheMan and Degeneration, I took the SAT I in October AND today. From my perspective, the vocab was harder this month but the passages were more difficult last month.</p>
