<p>The WWII reference was about how the war made history books more popular than fiction, because people wanted to know the roots of the issues.</p>
<p>Altruist...I was def. feeling that way during the test; that those 2 questions were like a "package deal" and that you couldn't choose one without the other. I think that it would be baffled/oracle or sardonic/charlatan.</p>
<p>I just chose one of each oracle/sardonic...but yeah, i don't think it was fair</p>
<p>In the book, the passage actually continues to:</p>
<p>We had crickets in the pantry, squirrels in the eaves, sparrows in the attic. Lucille and I stepped through the door from sheer night to sheer night.</p>
<p>for the question about the reference to more WWII books than fiction...i put that it's because society hoped for something in inspire them? something about heroic figures...the others seemed kind of extreme and didn't make too much sense..</p>
<p>what about the answer "they had appetite for history.." or susceptible to biased beliefs...it was the history passage</p>
<p>for the photography one, one of the answers was the extremeness of parents. the one with obsession referred to the narrator</p>

what is -10 total on this test u think?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>in june, it was 680.</p>
<p>was this test any harder than june? might it get 20 pts more on a curve?</p>
<p>hmm, i dont know. its really hard to say. they seemed to be about the same. i think i did better today, but thats probably just because i studied, and not because the test was easier. i think the curve might stay around the same.</p>
<p>are you kidding me? -10 is a 680? no way....... i had like -11 once last yr, and i had a 620. </p>
<p>what were the answer for the plum question and the comparing the 2 "communications" for tyhe physics passage?</p>

<p>Aunt Sylvie passage screwed me over so badly...wow...</p>
<p>It's not that i dont trust you, but whoa. I took it in january, and i got 11 (give or take 1) and i got 620. And yes, i am sure i did not get minus 18 or something, im positive it was below 13. That is rediculous, i hope this test was as easy as that.</p>

<p>did you get the sas? maybe you bubbled wrong or something, accidentally. or the curve was simply harsher.</p>
<p>no i didnt get sas. But i remember it saying how many i omitted (1 i think) and how many i missed. I think it was just harsher.</p>
<p>yeah, thats too bad.</p>
<p>ya, but that gives me hope for this test lol. imagine -10 being 680 on this test. that would be sick.</p>
<p>oh how i would love a 700 in CR!!</p>
<p>if it helps i had -13 on the may test and that was 660.</p>
<p>ok....... january....... obviously a bad time to take a test then. Geez lol</p>
<p>my predictions:</p>
<p>best: cr, 730. math, 720. writing, 750.</p>
<p>worst: cr, 700. math, 700. writing, 720.</p>
<p>i really hope i do well.</p>
<p>ugh, i cant wait for oct 25.</p>
