Official Crtitical Reading Discussion Thread November

<p>@mmatt it basically asked from the paragraph when the Bach guy realized he couldn’t sing or read notes and started talking about when he played instruments as a child.</p>

<p>I also put exaggerated opionion, but I’m still not sure.</p>

<p>Lol i’m super nervous since this is probably gonna be the difference between -2 and -4 for me…</p>

<p>I know this thread is for CR, but the writing thread seems to be dead. Do you guys remember the building question? The two I was stuck between were: much of which and most of them. The end of the sentence was separated by a comma, so I chose much of which because I thought most of them created a comma splice.</p>

<p>Organic is exaggerate an opinion.</p>

<p>it was either exaggerate an opinion or an attitude but it was exaggerate nonetheless</p>

<p>what about when it basically asked from the paragraph when the Bach guy realized he couldn’t sing or read notes and started talking about when he played instruments as a child.</p>

<p>answers were:
cavalier attitude
frankly
acute embarrassment
past failure</p>

<p>or something like that</p>

<p>Kieran, I think I put acute embarrassment, but I can’t remember. What was the rest of the frankly answer choice?</p>

<p>I had a friend who said he put “frankly”, so idk. I don’t even remember a frankly. I really hope it’s acute embarrassment, then I might actually get an 800 on CR.</p>

<p>I felt like i did good on this sat compared to the other ones i took.</p>

<p>Sent from my DROID RAZR using CC</p>

<p>Yeah, I think I changed my answer from acute embarrassment to frankly. I’m not sure. I can’t remember the question very clearly. Any others that you can think of?</p>

<p>the correct answer to the BACH question was that he made a frank appraisal of his ability to be able to read the music. </p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question on the BACH passage that made a comparison of him learning to read the music to another situation and it asked wich would be the most similar situation? Do you remember the answer?? was it maybe about trying to read a foreign language?</p>

<p>^ it was the trying to understand some foreign article, NOT copying foreign text</p>

<p>Awh damn I should have known the frank question. That puts me at -3. There goes my perfect superscore. I guess i’m retaking in december now rofl.</p>

<p>ok good. I remember the answer seemed pretty obvious. </p>

<p>Can you PLEASE help me try to find the other passages? I found the Korean Calligrapher one and one of the 2 fingerprint passages. </p>

<p>Can someone try to find the BACH passage? Do you remember the teacher’s names? Was the lady Caroline or Charlotte? Do you know the narrator’s name? </p>

<p>Please help! Or the glacier passage!</p>

<p>Bach passage:
[The</a> Cello Suites: J. S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque … - Eric Siblin - Google Books](<a href=“The Cello Suites: J. S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque ... - Eric Siblin - Google Books”>The Cello Suites: J. S. Bach, Pablo Casals, and the Search for a Baroque ... - Eric Siblin - Google Books)</p>

<p>can anyone remember what the question was to the answer “importance of having a role model”? I think I put something else and thought it was obvious that it was the answer.</p>

<p>lol the organic frustrated-approval problem, i thought i put frustrated but now i honestly don’t remember. i was caught too much with the exaggerated attitude problem. i just remember that i thought the answer to frustrated-approval was obvious. :P</p>

<p>AWESOME! thanks! any more? I am still looking!</p>

<p>can anyone remember what the question was to the answer “importance of having a role model”? I think I put something else and thought it was obvious that it was the answer.</p>

<p>I put something else, too. This was the short passage on the writer, correct? It wasn’t a role model, it something about characters? something about having some experience in order to be able to develop a character? uhg. can’t remember. does that sound familiar?</p>

<p>@absolute i think it was like something the challenges the author faced, but i could be mixing it up with another question</p>

<p>the other one to that passage was arduous, 100% sure</p>

<p>I think for the bach one, the answer for his inability to cite reading is something like defensive explanation of his poor performance</p>

<p>how are you all able to remember so much? My son had CR sections about an ancient rock, Queen mothers in Africa, ballet, graffitti/history teacher, Chinese immigrant’s daughter any idea which one is experimental?</p>
