October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>Passage 1 was more IRONIC
Stimulant > antidote
Probably happened because there are no evidence against it.</p>

<p>-7 raw for me I think. I just hope I get at least 700!</p>

<p>youarestupid pls go</p>

<p>@iforgeteasily</p>

<p>I agree completley with that list apart from the one regarding whther or not the Trojan War likely happened. I accept that I may be wrong on that though.</p>

<p>I’m at -3, -4 if I’m wrong about the Trojan War.</p>

<p>Can someone remind me of what the choice was that contained “journalists” for the “democracy” answer?</p>

<p>What were the answer options to the “relationship between style and substance” question? Can’t quite recall.</p>

<p>Can SOMEONE please tell me what ommiting does for your score and in this case, omitting 4?</p>

<p>what was the answer to the last one about the mother/daughter
the last sentence implies that rose?
rose understood her daughters something
or the daughter decided not to do the story</p>

<p>the triumphant-balanced question: was the question asking about the tone of the first or second passage?</p>

<p>@Clauxy - you don’t get minus 1/4 like you would if you guessed incorrectly</p>

<p>The Trojan war probably did happen. I’m like 90% sure based off of the entire last paragraph. Don’t you know the definition of plausible? He said it was plausible because there was nothing to the contrary. </p>

<p>plau·si·ble [plaw-zuh-buh l]
-adjective

  1. having an appearance of truth or reason; seemingly worthy of approval or acceptance; credible; believable: a plausible excuse; a plausible plot.
  2. well-spoken and apparently, but often deceptively, worthy of confidence or trust: a plausible commentator.</p>

<p>maybe that makes sense idk well see</p>

<p>@MW2isawesome
for that question i had picked “probably” on the test too, but was persuaded otherwise on this thread. I admit I could totally be wrong though. </p>

<p>Here is the link to the book from which the trojan passage was extracted and modified. Maybe it might help in thinking about this.</p>

<p>[In</a> search of the Trojan War - Google Books](<a href=“In Search of the Trojan War - Michael Wood - Google Books”>In Search of the Trojan War - Michael Wood - Google Books)</p>

<p>Can someone calm my psyche? For the art critic passage i put some answer that was like it reveals the author’s close relationship to the critic. Was that the anecdote question? I really hope it is so i just got that one wrong and not a scantron mishap. </p>

<p>Also what would around -8 with 3 omitted be?</p>

<p>-8 with 3 omitted would be around 670 with a kind curve (which we’re all hoping for!)</p>

<p>It’s not antoni.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me the answer options to the ““relationship between style and substance”” question?</p>

<p>what would -5 and 6 omitted be?</p>

<p>holy c rap. I just signed on today and this thread increased from 70 to like 143 pages.</p>

<p>Jlewis what is 2-3 wrong and 3-4 omitted?</p>

<p>Overrated. There is something called a curve. It’s stupid to predict your scores.</p>

<p>@iforgeteasily</p>

<p>After reading that ending I am totally split, like 50/50. It says both that it is “incapable of proof” (because there is lack of evidence) but also that it is “plausible”, that “nothing has been rebutted”. It seems like both answers are correct?</p>
