October 2010 CR SAT Thread

<p>@thebigone and tunglinh: that was the international version of the SAT, please go to the international thread to discuss</p>

<p>Is omitting 3-4 bad when you miss 2-3?!? Is this in the 700 range?</p>

<p>my comments on the list… I agree with / got right(hopefully) everything else mentioned.</p>

<p>Sentence Completions
18.wasted (what was the question to this?)</p>

<p>Passage about Trojan War</p>

<p>27.probably did occur because there was no evidence against it
I disagree… I put ‘probably didn’t because there is no proof’ or something like that… wasn’t there a sentence that was like the paradox in history that people believe it without proof? The antithesis to that would be don’t believe it because there is no proof, and the author is arguing against the unsupported history records. The ‘plausible theory’ simply means its a nice theory, theory being far-fetched from “probably did happen”; I think the passage said something about how Thuc. did a lot of research about how it /could/ have happened if it did happen, instead of if it happened; I think the plausible theory thing refers to this (this also refers to the archaeology/Homer–Thuc. decided it happened based on Homer, evaluated how it happened based on archaeology). But I realize the consensus is against me–please explain why I’m wrong.</p>

<p>Movie Critic</p>

<p>43.- the personal anecdote - introduction (more specific on this question please? I don’t remember it)</p>

<p>Log Cabin Short Passage
60.antidote
I put stimulant, but that was really stupid… I just crossed off antidote for some reason… I think both were bad answers though. In my reading experience, something is an antidote for something, relieving the effects of that something. In effect, an pill is an antidote for poison, relieving the nausea and stomach acid the poison caused. The log road wouldn’t be an antidote for anger; it might be an antidote for whatever caused that anger. So when specifically speaking about how the log road calmed his anger and stress, ‘relief’ or some synonym would be a better word.</p>

<p>/2cents</p>

<p>Can I be pretty confident about my score?</p>

<p>^I can very well be stimulant.</p>

<p>It should be stimulant. </p>

<p>In the passage, it said that the the guy SOUGHT the LOG.
If he SOUGHT the LOG, it is logical to say the LOG WAS A STIMULANT</p>

<p>papapia *** is that kind of reasoning?***???</p>

<p>it was antidote. period. stimulant also works, but it is not the BEST answer choice.</p>

<p>if i got 10 wrong (over-estimation just to be safe) and omitted 5, do you think I would have gotten a 600?</p>

<p>What was the SC question with benign as the answer choice? I know I was stuck between benign and something else, but I completely forgot what it was.</p>

<p>You obviously didn’t understand my logic. I am saying that if the guy SOUGHT the log, it stimulated him to go climb it. Hence, it was a stimulant.</p>

<p>Nooooooooooooooooo. Dude your logic fails. Or you understand the word very wrongly. Either way fail dude!!</p>

<p>I love how people in this thread with their huge egos just always insist on their answers being correct.</p>

<p>^and you never once did that? </p>

<p>You have such a pure soul/sarcasm</p>

<p>Can anyone please tell me what 2-3 wrong is with 3-4 omitted?!?</p>

<p>clauxy around 650-730 i would imagine</p>

<p>I never even once thought about antidote because it was too strong of a word to begin with; in addition, it didn’t correct answer the question.</p>

<p>I’m sticking with stimulant.</p>

<p>oh wait yu’re referring to iForgereasily? and not me? lol</p>

<p>Can someone post the consolidated list?
I went back 8 pages and still can’t find them admist the arguments e_e</p>

<p>Anyone remember seeing the answer choices: adopts, undertakes, feigns… on one of them?
I’m pretty sure I put adopt. </p>

<p>Also, in that same passage (The Rose one) there was a question about from lines so and so to such and such, the author suggests that her mother’s tone speaking style (or something like that) is: </p>

<p>Digressive.
Reflective.
Some others?
I put reflective :/</p>

<p>Can someone specify the questions to “wasted” and “personal anecdote…introduction”?</p>

<p>Mikey–the second question was experimental.</p>

<p>and lonelywayfarer–You prolly got “wasted” correct b/c it was one of those beginning questions in SC.</p>
