My section 8 was CR and we only got 20 minutes. Didn’t realize it was a problem. I felt rushed and barely had time for the last passage. Could have used +5 minutes.
Can someone predict score? -3 with 12 writing, 1 blank in math, and -9 CR… hoping for 2170
Is -1 on writing w/ 11 essay still 800?
What were the cr passages?
I had a cr experimental and don’t know which one was experiental.
I know I had:
1-Jane Austen
1-Easter island
1-adopted child
1-brain and hit feelings with the cards
1- some 8. Year old boy who is with his grandparent and takes off all his clothes on the spring of something like that
1-history book
And probably a few more but I forget
I know I had two cr passages that had two small paragraphs. One of those had to be the experimental. The first was the card one and gut feelings and the second was about the 8 year old child in spring taking his clothes off in spring.
@DonQixote
I can’t recall the entire passage but it went something like:
“supermarkets loved this idea and it appealed to many consumers”
then
“parents, in particular,…”
then
“and the baby carrot boom started”
So it definitely fits.
@satmans
Immediately before Sentence 3 I think?
@Em1509
It wasn’t a problem. It was supposed to be 20 minutes. The test booklet accidentally said 25 minute time limit at the top. So some proctors disregarded their instruction manual and went with that. That was the problem.
@zxcvbnm1216 WHAT WERE THE JANE AUSTEN QUESTION ASWERS??? PLEASEEEE
@Chrysanthemum14 Yes. My testing center gave everyone the 5 minutes. It honestly screwed me up because I got overwhelmed.
Oh! I just remembered a math question with a I/II/III answer option. It dealt with a% of b. Anyone remember?
@jsweets17
One was simile/hyperbole or metaphor/melodrama.
One was Passage 1 had alternative perspectives. Passage 2 was sentimental.
“by mentioning her raucous laughter she is referencing a personal quirk that she has and is hoping that her family shares it.”
A personal quirk is by definition particular to an individual. So if her family shares the quirk, then it is no longer a personal quirk, but rather a shared one.
what were the other two @Chrysanthemum14
@chrysanthemum I put simile/Hyperbole and alternative persepctives
I think the answer to that one was simile and hyperbole, but it was really a toss up. To say that the two lines are the most important in her writing career is an exaggeration, but the whole sentence was also very dramatic.
I put metaphor/melodrama but that was a question I didn’t really have time to consider fully. I felt that hyperbole didn’t suit the passage as well as melodramatic did.
Also:
Similes are metaphors but not all metaphors are not similes.
I left that question blank because I did not really feel the hyperbole, but I did see the simile.
The answer was definitely about hereditary talking of her raucous laughter.
i got only II and III for that or something like that for the A%b
@ALibertarian But she doesn’t know that her family shares the characteristic laughter because she doesn’t even know her family. So she is essentially telling us that she has this quirky raucous laughter that she wants to be a shared trait. So she is referencing a personal quirk.
That was my reasoning at least …
