Official March 2008 SAT CR Discussion

<p>I'm glad conundrum was right, a pity I put diffusive insyead of unaffected, really couldn't decide :( I may be able to get an 800 still if I miss nothing else...<em>crosses fingers</em></p>

<p>What is this diffuse/unaffected thing? Was it experimental? What passage was it in?</p>

<p>ok on politics was the last question A or E
"herd" make a neg. reference or show people cant think 4 selves</p>

<p>I chose whatever answer daid that passage 2 was questioning an assumption of the argument set forth in passage 1, since it did not provide any "data"</p>

<p>i forget if i put that or the other one
do u remember the other reasonable answer</p>

<p>one more time: what the question where the answer was diffuse/unaffected?</p>

<p>lolcats, "I chose whatever answer daid that passage 2 was questioning an assumption of the argument set forth in passage 1, since it did not provide any "data""</p>

<p>do you remember if it was C? I jsut know i put C down</p>

<p>i had either A or E and chose A
they were both saying it questions the assumption but one was more harsh like disparages it</p>

<p>on the last column of that seciont, the one with the whole polisci thing, i jsut rmember getting EECE
sound familiar, anyone?</p>

<p>For the political science paired passages, did anyone pick "gross understatement" as passage 1's response to the line in passage two that many people are not public philosophers (something like that?)</p>

<p>Also, from which passage do we get this diffusive/dissafected/unaffected debate?</p>

<p>yes, it is gross understatement when the author said something about how the general people are not all philosophers.</p>

<p>it was a SC</p>

<p>what is SC?</p>

<p>sentence complettion.</p>

<p>anyone remember the sentence?</p>

<p>Yes I answered with both "artificial construct" and "universal truth." I generally agree with the previously discussed rob frost posts</p>

<p>"artificial construct"
waht was the question?</p>

<p>someone want to construct a list of the political science questions? i dont remember any of them</p>

<p>What did people get for the computer language translation questions? There was one about whether the programmers in both passages were disappointed or agreed that computers would never translate as fast.. i put that they were disappointed.</p>

<p>The vituperation question was like this:</p>

<p>Given his rancorous attitude, it was no surprise when Sandy told Bob about his crappy performance on the job that he reacted with _______</p>

<p>and I believe the answer was vituperation.</p>

<p>I have just a general CR question. My son is an average student and took the test for the first time yesterday (he walked out pretty shell shocked). He feels fairly confident about the math. However, he feels he did poorly on the CR. I was wondering if the overall opinion of everyone is that the CR reading was difficult this time or was it just him. He plans on working more diligently on the CR for the May exam.</p>
