October 6 SAT CR passages

<p>i really think i got high 700s for alot of them, and maybe 730 for math. watch me get like 650 or something tho, for some reason, i always am dissapointed by my sat/sat II scores. :/</p>

<p>me too. i always miss some that i didnt realize i missed. i guess i will see soon enough though. i hope the scores come out at midnight.</p>

<p>OK ONCE AND FOR ALL...</p>

<p>flowery/unambiguous OR facetious/assertion
stampede OR overabundance</p>

<p>??? i couldn't find a real consensus on the answer. let's answer it once and for all!</p>

<p>overabundance. how can it possibly be stampede? i forget the question, but overabundance hit me like a rock. Facetious/assertion for sure. FLowery..... i guess you can argue that, but he was being more sarcastic, and it wasn't that flowery. And everything he said afterwards, though some might be factual, had a hint of his bias in there i thought. So it assertion would be better than fact</p>

<p>i agree with the facetious/assertion thing. i'm still torn between stampede and overabundance though...</p>

<p>i put stampede. but i put overabundance first. ugh, i dont know.</p>

<p>stampede jumped at me first. overabundance has some sort of negative connotation to it and the author did not apply any of that sort...but hey, that's just me. more people here seemed to have put overabundance, though.</p>

<p>I put overabundance, but I have an inkling that it was stampede...</p>

<p>When i was doing that question I predicted "too much" before looking at the answer choices, and overabundance fit that perfectly. I don't remember the passage but I'm pretty sure stampede and the others made no sense...</p>

<p>i remember i took the "crush" as a synonym for "abundance." overabundance and abundance do not imply the same thing. </p>

<p>oh i dont know....THE CURVE BETTER BE THE MOST LENIENT CURVE IN THE HISTORY OF THE SAT LOL oh jeez louise</p>

<p>abundance just means "a lot," which would have been wrong had it been an answer choice.</p>

<p>overabuncance means "going or being beyond what is needed, desired, or appropriate; an excess"</p>

<p>I wish I rembered the passage/ question better but I clearly remember thinking that they author meant an excess rather than just a lot.</p>

<p>back home from the sats</p>

<p>eh, just to get my opinions out on some....</p>

<p>i put oracale/sardonic: the last comment was sardonic but overall i think he introduced the psychics as oracles. i thought it was supposed to be an easy question and oracle matches psychic</p>

<p>im pretty sure the word crush meant overwhelming abundance. it fit perfectly when i substituted it</p>

<p>i would agree with the assertion choice, the other one had unambiguous fact and i thought that was wrong</p>

<p>the cr was horrible for me this time. im hoping for 650+</p>

<p>can someone please tell me that question with the answer choice of stampede and abundance?</p>

<p>bobmallet, crush most nearly means _____?</p>

<p>it was in the physics passage.</p>

<p>Hm, so like, i'd say i got around -10</p>

<p>sigh, that's like a 670 ish =( i guess i should get ready for take 3 in november...</p>

<p>What was the answer to memories can......
And what was the answer to conduct most likely implies</p>

<p>I got
baffled
overabundance
facetious/assertion
oracle</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it's oracle. I was choosing between oracle and charlatan, but when I reread the question, I'm prettty sure it asked about just the first line... which is why I picked oracle.. not tooo sure though</p>

<p>but wow I actually think I did OK in the CR.. right now.. it seems like a -4/-5
but of course I'm being too optimistic.. TT_TT</p>

<p>no room to talk thepack88...you got the regional dialect one wrong. it had to do with the 3 syllables spelling out the word "even-ing" ..the next sentence talked about the things being "smooth" aka "even" (ordinarily "evening" has only 2 syllables--"eve"+"ning")</p>

<p>dam right! evening didnt imply a dialect at all; there's no evidence of that in the passage! the passage did imply a double meaning: 1 is just the regular meaning and the other is how the sound of evening is nice or watever</p>

<p>:staying objective has practical benefits....what was the purpose of the moon quote?</p>

<p>i disagree. i thought it was something about each author contributing to something as a whole. this was implied because scientists who discovered patterns of hte moon's rotation helped astronauts locate it or whatnot. subjectivity/objectivity has nothing to do with it - discovering rules does.</p>
