November 5 SAT II Literature discussion

<p>^i think i put “she is confident about her self worth but feels subject to unknowable forces” or something like that?</p>

<p>i put what tylrrevera had–despondant. anyone get jubilant to melancholy for the hurston one?</p>

<p>^^^ Yeah I put she sometimes found joy but was mostly despondent. In the beginning of the passage she said that sometimes she felt super confident and like race didn’t matter but later in the second or third paragraph she said she usually felt like a paper bag or something.</p>

<p>crap, i already got one wrong :confused:
what did you guys put for the question about the speaker’s tone towards the iron horse? (it was the passage about the trains)</p>

<p>^admiring but skeptical
what were the other choices again?</p>

<p>did anyone get beneficent as one of the answers?</p>

<p>admiring but skeptical</p>

<p>for the playwright passage, did anyone get something like “newly inspired image of the theatre” as an answer? or was it “writing in a new vein”…</p>

<p>i put “writing in a new vein,” but i also thought it could be the “new inspiration” one, too.</p>

<p>I also put “writing in a new vein” for that one. What about the “what is the antecedent of the pronoun ‘which’ ?” I put SUN.</p>

<p>^^I put ‘rising’.
And yes, the Pygmalion passage ans was ‘amorous’. I think it implies that the statue started choosing other admirers over him and eventually became more famous than him, which he couldnt handle. thats why the answer to a later question was ‘allaying his egoistical desires’ or something like that.
What was the answer to the q in the Shakespeare/playwright passage which had ‘Speares plays were ignored by his contemporaries’ and 'he thought he was less talented than ‘speare but better than those in his age’ in the options? I totally made NO sense of it. And wbt the first q of the passage?</p>

<p>Overall, it wasnt KILLING tough, but it ws the kind of paper you cant get a handle on :frowning:
Lets hope we all get >700! :open_mouth: :slight_smile: All the best you guys :)</p>

<p>I’m fairly confident that I got a 400. I don’t even want to discuss it :P</p>

<p>For the zora passage, I marked ebullient and pensive. She didn’t get sad in the second para,she was just thinking.</p>

<p>@Cobalt: My answers match that. I put in amorous desires and something about ego too. In the Shakespeare playwright passage, the answer was 'he thinks himself to be more talented than his peers but less talented than Shakespeare". Thats what I did</p>

<p>I got a 780 on the official Lit test that they released and I’d be happy to get half that on this one. CR is my highest (760) but I doubt I did that well on this haha.</p>

<p>I remember putting some answer that had to do with sexuality or lust for the one you guys put “amorous desires” for, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t put amorous desires. There was another one, similar, I think.</p>

<p>I was running quite close on time too, finished just a minute or two before time was called.</p>

<p>@karan- yay xD Well, I left that one, i wasnt sure about my interpretation. the rest, i wrote. Hmm. And yea, i marked ‘Ebullient and pensive’ too :)</p>

<p>@Challenged : I remember some answer like “partaking sexually something something”. It was not the amorous desires one,i think.</p>

<p>I don’t think I did very well!!! It is very strange for me to think of, for I always got 750-800 on my practice tests…grrrrr! What answer did everyone choose for the meaning of the “jealous” sculptor in Pygmalion?</p>

<p>mmh I see that most of you guys are not satisfied with your performance (I include myself as well), how do you guys predict the curve will be like in terms of getting this many questions right will get 800,750, or 700 and above? </p>

<p>I have a question concerning scores in general: Is the score for getting 800 and below established already by the time we take the test or is it after seeing how the students performed on that test? </p>

<p>@karan11295: we seem to be on the same page according to what answers you chose; hopefully, the answers are all right P: lol</p>

<p>@grinver : yeah,hopefully they are. Also,if you don’t mind me asking,what answer did you write for the meaning of ‘steeped’ in the London passage?</p>
