November 2010 SAT - Critical Reading

<p>the passage with the musician that started off with a description about her brothers, how many questions were there in total? i only did one and omitted the rest because i ran out of time… there was a question about her brothers and the way they played their music. something about perfection and something about mechanical. what was the answer to that question. choices were like both competed, approaches, … i basically skipped the entire passage. how much deduction would be if you omitted like 6 questions? bombed… :(</p>

<p>I put appealing but ludicrous.</p>

<p>@slapbetcomm, I was between naive and dangerous and ___ but ludicrous. I ended up choosing ___ but ludicrous, because it’s a good idea in theory, but realistically it can’t happen (since everyone cheats, etc.) Anyone else confirm?</p>

<p>Agree! It was appealing but ludicrious (clearly stated in the last sentence of paragraph 1 of passage 1…it was like although people want to believe this, it’s clearly wrong.)</p>

<p>EDIT: Answer was E</p>

<p>so does anyone remember any q’s form caribbean or the othe passage???</p>

<p>Awesome. Is there a consolidated list with vocab and passage questions? I’m debating about canceling my scores but would like to know about where I’m at. And is everyone expecting a rather generous curve?</p>

<p>I love how people argue on some of the easiest questions (to me) and are so sure on the toughest questions (to me). It frustrates and makes me think why i can’t be like you guys?!
I most likely will get 790 W, 730 M, and 670/680 CR, so 2190 or 2200.</p>

<p>quick question -
small passage about the man traveling.
Why does the woman had complex personality
she likes the man ; what’s so complex about that ?</p>

<p>It means she has different facets of her personality.</p>

<p>It was like: she loved him with the side that she reserved for loving. she had many different sides.</p>

<p>For the tone of the deception passage: I got analytical because Passage 2’s author was like analyzing what a person might think if he/she was lied to.</p>

<p>Its not analytical, because passage 2 is very analytical too (thats my thought process)</p>

<p>anyone remember the questions for the sentence completion where the answers were pedestrian and vexing…stymied? >_<</p>

<p>No, they said how did Passage 2 differ from Passage 1. Passage 1 was more distant, while 2 was going in depth about how a person would feel when he/she was lied to.</p>

<p>Could someone get a compilation going?</p>

<p>For the pedistrian one, I thought I put inane or something…</p>

<p>Vexing:</p>

<p>Fermat’s last theorem was so _____ that it _____ scientists for 200 years</p>

<p>Pedestrian</p>

<p>The composers plays were so ____, it was unoriginal and blah balh.</p>

<p>thx, i didn’t have those for some reason O___O
maybe experiemental or diff version?</p>

<p>For that college athlete thing I put logical but ___. Because it makes sense that you’d go to college for academics first right?</p>

<p>what would -5 be?</p>

<p>hpe the curve is lenient this month.</p>

<p>it depends on your version, i heard that one is easier than the other
compeltely unfair to grade with same scale</p>
