***Official January 2015 SAT (US ONLY) THREAD***

For one of the critical reading vocab questions it said: My grandfather is very _____. He is suspicious of people and their motives.

I put selfish as that answer. I was stuck b/w selfish and cynical, any thoughts?

@youngm0rphine‌ cynical I think

Okay so did any have the lethargic and maladriot vocab question or was that expiremetnal

I hope because the vocab screwed me up. Memorized 1,000 words and SURPRISE none of them were on the test.

also what did Passage 1 talk about that Passage 2 didnt for the comparing one

@youngm0rphine‌
Yea I put cynical for that too.

and im pretty it was to illustrate an extreme situation

was it dictum as the answer?

oh how do you know? I put cynical at first but i figured it means more like twisted/evil/conniving. Not sure how that related to suspicion?!

What did both passage 1 and passage 2 use for the singing one? Did you all say both used famous people or something similar

cynicism is general distrust of other people’s motives and perceiving people to be inherently selfish.

cite exampary person ya

for math im unsure of this x is less than y answer… was the answer E

Cynical=
believing that people are motivated by self-interest; distrustful of human sincerity or integrity.

doubtful as to whether something will happen or whether it is worthwhile

u guys put celerity?

and i dont think it was evolving…

okay thank you. I really effed this test up but i took it just for fun. i already got into tons of colleges

did anyone say that for the Lisbon writing question that Brazil was a diction error? it was talking about europe and brazil obviously isn’t in europe so could that have been the wrong answer?

what is the one everyones putting exortation for? is this the one with a choice as measured?
pretty sure its measured.

Err I’m not 100% but she’s pretty trustworth in general, a good test taker (as in, it’s reasonable she’d get that score), etc. But I’m also not her or the collegeboard so I’m not certain.
