October 2009 SAT Critical Reading

<p>vru;</p>

<p>Sorry! Braindead, didn’t read the question. I think I got ‘to explain a reaction’.</p>

<p>Chair and Lemonio, you are looking outside the box and that is a fatal flaw on SAT reasoning tests.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That wasn’t the answer, so you are correct.</p>

<p>I have to agree with Primz there.
One of the biggest reading tips on the Rocket Review book was to go by the text and not overanalyze, which is fatal on the CR</p>

<p>@chair. you have forgotten the point of that part of the passage. the point was to show how the "myths’ about great artists always included great talent being "discovered’ from “rustic beginnings”</p>

<p>both cimabue and bomenico admired the work of the younger artist</p>

<p>HOWEVER</p>

<p>the more correct choice was discovery, because the point of the inclusion of those sections, was to show how they discovered the young artist’s talent</p>

<p>@primz, how is that possible, if me and chair got difference answers xD</p>

<p>Yeah, on my first two SATs I totally over-analyzed and got a lot wrong. This time I thought “inside the box” based on the text and I can already tell I did a lot better. Think inside the box, it helps so much.</p>

<p>For the family was it idiosyncratic or misguided( or something similar, I can’t remember the word.)</p>

<p>Nice</p>

<p>▲
▲▲</p>

<p>misguided.</p>

<p>lockdown (‘That wasn’t the answer, so you are correct.’)</p>

<p>sorry for the confusion - the first part of my post was something someone else said, and I was responding to that. I should have put it in quotes!</p>

<p>intangible gator: i said misguided.</p>

<p>I put misguided</p>

<p>yea. I said discovery…because the guy discovered the shepard boy could draw well…and Michalangelo’s teacher discovered that he was better than him…It’s as simple as that.</p>

<p>What concerns me is that any of these questions can be up for debate…</p>

<p>You’d think the answers would be clear-cut.</p>

<p>i got pwned by CR</p>

<p>like sooo many questions in CR are debatable (I know they’re supposed to be absolute) </p>

<p>thats why it’s soo hard</p>

<p>The person did not discover that boy could draw well but rather he was impressed by how the boy could draw on a stone. The passage did not mention the skill of the boy or if the picture was very artistic.</p>

<p>for those of you who still remember specific words from the reading passages, try to find the passage on google…it will help ALOT with the discussion if we have the concrete stuff.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, that was in the Nikhal passage I believe.</p>

<p>primz: yes</p>

<p>I put discovered but I didnt have a lot of time to check it</p>

<p>primz: the question wasn’t about the entire passage - it was about how the two reactions/descriptions were analogous</p>
