<p>oh was that like unsubstantiated and dilatory? i was thinking about that one but dilatory didn’t make any sense since the question was something like a person heard about experiments through word of mouth but looked for more assuring results. i put something like anecdotal, systematic. anyone else get that?</p>
<p>^I got that. I’m pretty sure it’s correct</p>
<p>oh yeah, me too.</p>
<p>Hmm. This is weird. I think I’ll have to complain to the Collegeboard about that question.</p>
<p>His impressionistic (based on general impression of something) experiments told him that he was right; however, he wasn’t sure because he did not do it analytically (with numbers and figures) yet.</p>
<p>However, as you guys have said, “anecdotal” and “systematic” could also very well work. His anecdotal (based on personal observation, case study reports, or random investigations rather than systematic scientific evaluation) experiments told him that he was right; however, he wasn’t sure because he did not do it systematically yet. </p>
<p>… worrd. I guess you guys are right, because it is the more obvious one… but the first one works too, doesn’t it? Anyone can tell me why it doenst? If no one can, I should probably have a serious talk with the Collegeboard. Thanks.</p>
<p>I remmeber crossing off anecdotal because i associated it with personal. The question ( i remember clearly) said that the theories or w/e they were called came from other people. But i really dont know. I sort of associated anecdotal with short story, and it seemed like it was asking more of a word that was associated with “without evidence”</p>
<p>I don’t think it was anecdotal/systematic. I got something like anecdotal/proof? The first word was anecdotal but the second was something else…</p>
<p>It was systematic.</p>
<p>Duper, your reasoning? Please use your logic and explain it to me. Why was Impressionistic/analytical wrong then? Thanks</p>
<p>Oh no, I’m referring to amb3r’s post. I put down anecdotal/systematic, but I’m not too sure of the answer right now. I remember the sentence mentioning that he had heard stories from others, hence anecdotal; but as I said, I’m not too sure right now…</p>
<p>Anecdotal
2. Based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis</p>
<p>This, imo, sounds like a perfect contradiction and fits well though…</p>
<p>Oh! Shoot, my bad. I thought you meant the answer was systematic.. 
sorry !!</p>
<p>Also, I think you are right w/ your reasoning. I’m just troubled because impressionistic/analytical seems to fit well too. But thanks for your input</p>
<p>Are you sure the second word was systematic? I definitely chose anecdotal, but I don’t remember choosing systematic, although I might have.</p>
<p>im also pretty sure that it was systematic. I second duper, symphonyofshound,andreaaa, and spiffystars who all said anecdotal/systematic.</p>
<p>although were amateurs - helped legitimize ------100% sure</p>
<p>don’t remember anecdotal.
there was a similar one, smthing like the editor found the article ___<strong><em>, and he wanted it more _</em></strong></p>
<p>The anecdotal/systematic sentence is written incorrectly in the post above (which is why impressionistic and analytical work in that sentence). The real sentence talked about gathering evidence in ways that were spoken but not very scientific (but I can’t remember from where—folkways???) in the very beginning, so “such anecdotal evidence” had to be tested in a more “systematic” way.</p>
<p>It was definitely anecdotal/systematic.</p>
<p>yeah i remember choosing anecdotal/systematic</p>
<p>I also think “anecdotal” is correct. For one, “anecdotal evidence” is a very popular clinical “idiom”: my mom is a doctor and she says it all the time: </p>
<p>“Although there have been no scientific studies to back this drug up, there has been so much anecdotal evidence in its favor that I recommend it to you.”</p>
<p>remember putting anecdotal as well…</p>
<p>what was the answer and the answer choices to the question about a boy who was very passive and was easily influenced by his peers? thanks</p>
<p>i think i put servile for that one</p>
<p>yeah i think that might have been the servile one.</p>
