<p>what would a -10 be on the CR possibly?</p>
<p>Actually I felt this one to be much tougher than the one in May.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, has there ever been a curve that did not award a 65 raw score with an 800?</p>
<p>One of my friends took the SAT in March and got a 790 for a raw score of 65. So, there you go.</p>
<p>can somebody tell me the entire answers for the “mocking/jeering” one. also was there a consensus reached for that question?</p>
<p>I put jeering at Cimabue’s discovery instead of mocking conventional biographies, because the question referred to the specific line “while some were not fortunate enough to come with sheep” and Cimabue’s discovery of Giotto was the first recorded incident of the artist having sheep, which then LED to everybody copying him. And “jeer” is not really a stronger word than mock:
(below is the definition for jeer from merriamwebster)</p>
<p>Main Entry: 1jeer
Pronunciation: ˈjir
Function: verb
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1561
intransitive verb
: to speak or cry out with derision or mockery
transitive verb
: to deride with jeers : taunt</p>
<p>synonyms see scoff</p>
<p>However, I think mocking conventional biographies is a good answer as well, but the specific line reference has origin to the Giotto story, so I think the best answer links to that. Also, the answer definitely isn’t satirizing rural life, because why would the author have anything against rural people? She’s talking about art and discovery of “Great Artists”. And satire means “literary work/sarcasm to expose human vices and follies”, and that’s not what the article is about.</p>
<p>Just my two cents. 1st: jeering 2nd: mocking</p>
<p>For the Native American one, the second question referred specifically to the last line of the passage, which talked about something different than the rest of the passage, which was about refuting the claim that repetition helps with their memory. If the question asked about the passage as a whole, it would be “repetition does NOT aid in memory”, but I think the answer was about them needing a highly developed memory, because the texts were complicated AND because repetition doesn’t help with memory, then you simply need a good memory to remember it. I think the last line of the passage changes the question.</p>
<p>But I could be wrong. I’m afraid I got everythign wrong.</p>
<p>Can anyone put the compiled list of answers? THank you</p>
<p>I ran outa time on the second CR section,and I cannot even remember which passage I was tested on>.< that “wry” tone killed me- -</p>

<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>UH OH. I don’t remember much from Saturday’s SAT 
I was just so relieved to be able to leave the room and go home. My brain was fried lol.</p>
<p>I missed like two in that list,but I don’t have any recollection on some of them at all>.<I guess they were among the three questions for which I ran out of time…
Thanks very much for listing them out,tho!:p</p>
<p>This is a list we had going a while ago, I don’t think it’ll ever be complete though and people are still going to be arguing over ambiguous questions but these are the general consensus.
Feel free to confirm/deny :)</p>
