<p>Vehement is not the “definite” answer.</p>
<p>it’s okay 18 days until scores are released online.

<p>What are the odds that the caustic vs vehement question gets dropped?</p>
<p>Are you guys certain about lawyer? I’m almost positive it was archaelogist.</p>
<p>Hey… I remember for the Ella Banks passage…</p>
<p>the one with the ‘spy’ and ‘archaeologist’… I chose spy at first (although my first choice would be detective or sleuth), but then thought it’d be archaeologist because your using different pieces to try fabricating the past… NOT trying to glean valuable information and steal it… (or is that too interpretive)? </p>
<p>All I know is that that question was rather polemical (lol).</p>
<p>RoanFel, I think everyone’s saying that the answer is archaelogist!</p>
<p>how much will -5 to -7 be</p>
<p>Arg… missed a few for the Nuclear passage… missed the first one for the Walden short… thought the Ella Baker was cooked medium-rare (means i felt okay…)… Roommate passage was the only i felt i did well on…</p>
<p>and for the sentence completion, I guessed on recondite, fickleness, digress, rebutted, and faculty… if the above post with the list is right… then, whoa</p>
<p>^bluenotebook2</p>
<p>Oh haha :D</p>
<p>It’s just that a lot of other people seem to have chosen spy/lawyer (or maybe i was reading the stuff from yesterday…)</p>
<p>what was the rationalism/eschew question?</p>
<p>what were the other choices?</p>
<p>what was the SC for rantionalism/eschew? does anyone remember the sentence?</p>
<p>lawyer and archaelogist were different questions. Is -6 like 730ish?</p>
