<p>don’t mean to sound greedy, but has anybody compiled a list?</p>
<p>same here, except i guess i left one blank for some reason X_X, evs.</p>
<p>i meant, howd you do overall though? sorry i know this is so off topic, but i remember talking about it before we had our ansewrs and now i’im curious</p>
<p>overall - pretty bad…i got 6 wrong already, probably more that i don’t remember</p>
<p>…this is a big disappointment after getting 3 successive 800’s in CR on practice tests</p>
<p>blubber, i am working on compiling now.</p>
<p>wow, that’s really awesome. Let me know if you need any help, andrea - I just started to compile when I wrote up that post - so thanks! :D</p>
<p>im pretty sure i got minus a lot. i suck at CR. last time, -15. first time, like -20 or 30</p>
<p>The Puerto Rican Passage</p>
<p>On an earlier post I put that the answer was “an attempt to reconcile two controversial viewpoints.” Now that I have studied all of the posts I am persuaded that those of us who put “a rejection of a widespread practice as inappropriate” are wrong.</p>
<p>Here’s why:The last sentence of the paragraph was: “These separations eclipse the shared heritage of contemporary Puerto Rican writers.” The problem with “an attempt to reconcile two controversial viewpoints” are the words RECONCILE and CONTROVERSIAL. There is really no support for these words. The author is simply rejecting “a widespread practice as inappropriate.”</p>
<p>IMO this was a poorly written passage and a very cunning question. A good example of why I HATE THE SAT!!!</p>
<p>@goblet: yeah, that’s what I thought! but the other choices didn’t seem right, either… I eliminated it down to two answers, and just blindly guessed.</p>
<p>ah, the SAT’s so tricky. =[</p>
<p>There is so much ambiguity in alot of the CR especially if you think to much about it. I have learned to simply go on impulse with my answers since like 75% of the time I’m right when I go on impulse. Over analyzing is what CB wants us to do I suppose.</p>
<p>As for glib, I am pretty sure it was paragraph. I thought it was scholarly at first, but I reread the question and it was asking for passage one.</p>
<p>I said symbolism…wasn’t the main purpose of the sequence of those words to symbolize the potential, or future of the magician objects she got? It could have been exageratted meaning to though</p>
<p>I thought the focus of the immigrant writer one was a critisism of the superficial categorization of spanish writers, split between one culture and the other when really they are a mix of both. </p>
<p>In context what did “Hard” mean?</p>
<p>hard was onerous.</p>
<p>Hard meant onerous. 99% sure.</p>
<p>So the answer to Puerto Rico is “rejecting?”</p>
<p>Symbolism is not correct. I believe it was to cite the immediate result of her learning the tricks.</p>
<p>correct, Ykim</p>
<p>why not “symbolism”?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>wasnt that a different question?</p>
<p>wait, I think the question was something like: “power, money, fame, greed”…?</p>
<p>wait gobletfire, i am confused by your answer. so what are u saying is the answer</p>
<p>Oops - I meant to say that those of us who put “an attempt to reconcile two controversial viewpoints” are wrong. Sorry its late. So IMO the correct answer is “a rejection of a widespread practice as inappropriate.”</p>
<p>Yeah that question with the list of things</p>
<p>Also, I said the “Perfect test” was viewed as overly ideal. The key word was perfect, and when you think about it the second author constantly notes how even researchers doubt the ability to apply such a test to Shakesphere. he also critisizes the categories he uses such as links to nobility, affluence and fluency in language. If these catagories arn’t correct, then they are overly ideal, or pushing the limits to fit (first authors) theory.</p>
<p>On irony…wow I should have looked that over again. I said it was because “enthusiasim about ones works will affect the way they perform”. Probably said this because the first part of the sentence was “Oh how she hated teaching” so I was like, oh how ironic because governess should be enthuasiastic and the kids should be learning from her. I couldn’t figure out why she would want to learn from her students…</p>
<p>“As far as dennis = one paragraph: evocative.”</p>
<p>Do you remember any other answer choices for this question?</p>
<p>how about that one author’s view on individualists? anyone remember that or was it experimental?</p>
