October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>Darn must have read the question wrong</p>

<p>hey … just wondering on the passage about radio.
i know you guys all agreed on the answer “it’s harming the function of the American political system”
but wasn’t there an answer choice about even independent journalists might have biased opinion or something??</p>

<p>is that completely wrong?? </p>

<p>Also, on the movie critic passage the question about two people
wasn’t there a choice saying she was inspired by them … or something??
could that be right??</p>

<p>The answer to the log passage was Stimulant and “sense his happiness would not last”</p>

<p>No it was anitdote. You are stupid.</p>

<p>“No it was anitdote. You are stupid.”</p>

<p>Haha, care to explain?</p>

<p>for the trojan war question…
i’m 80% sure the answer was architectural evidence. Yes, the authors throws in Homer but he spends only one sentence talking about homer and then undermines that statement by presenting more concrete architectural evidence. Then the author goes on to describe traveling across seas to find remains…</p>

<p>comments please.</p>

<p>i put stimulant too, but unfortunately, we’re wrong :&lt;/p>

<p>stimulant would have sped up his feelings of anger, emptiness while the antidote cured him of his problems</p>

<p>You are an idiot sir. The passage basically tells you that his happiness is temporary. It cannot be antidote because antidote is a cure=permanent. Stimulant only lasts for a period of time like a drug. That is why he needs to go back to the log road to refreshen himself.</p>

<p>for those of you who have taken the SAT more than once, what did you think of the CR? would it be considered hard if you compare it to the CR sections from previous SATS?</p>

<p>Stimulant - Any drug that excites any bodily function; usually one that stimulates the central nervous system, inducing alertness, elevated mood, wakefulness, increased speech and motor activity, and decreased appetite. Their mood-elevating effects make some stimulants (e.g., amphetamines, caffeine and its relatives, cocaine, nicotine) potent drugs of abuse (see drug addiction). Ritalin, prescribed for attention deficit disorder in children, is a mild stimulant.</p>

<p>Makes a lot more sense than antidote</p>

<p>no you are the idiot. antidote has never had a permanent connotation, maybe except in your head. I could drink poison, then drink an antidote. I’m all healthy now. But if i drink the poison again tomorrow, im pretty sure im gonna need another antidote. It’s not some sort of vaccine.</p>

<p>@overrated
difficult. VERY difficult.</p>

<p>@overrated, I thought that it was a little harder than other sections. The passages had some ambiguous questions, more than I remembered. Also, I thought this year’s sentence completions were pretty hard, but I don’t have that great of a vocabulary. In general, my opinion doesn’t really matter cause I got a 590 & 640 in the past xD</p>

<p>Why the **** would you take a stimulant to get rid of your anger? Antidote most certainly does not mean permenant cure.</p>

<p>@iforgeteasily </p>

<p>nice argument</p>

<p>^ Yes, indeed.</p>

<p>I don’t necessarily think theres more controversy for this sat or that it was harder. I think its just that there are more ■■■■■■. lol</p>

<p>the stimulant/ antidote argument can go both ways
it could be an antidote for his problems or a stimulant of happiness</p>

<p>“Why the **** would you take a stimulant to get rid of your anger? Antidote most certainly does not mean permenant cure.”</p>

<p>Are you dumb? Why do people drink caffeine to get them more active? Why do people take stimulants/drugs to relieve themselves?</p>

<p>Greendragon, I completely agree ah that gives me hope that we could have still got that right… I am SO anxious for these scores. I only took it in the hopes of raising CR</p>
