Official May Sat Critical Reading Discussion

<p>^^ No I do not recall having that question.</p>

<p>^^neither do i.
i had four math sections. fun!!! :D</p>

<p>I did not have the question -- it must have been experimental. The answer is
"tenacity," by the way.</p>

The answer is "tenacity," by the way.

<p>I did not take the test a friend of mine said tenacity was one of the answers as well. Dunno if it helps.</p>

<p>Oh, good, I chose tenacity but then some friends of mine were discussing it and insisted that the choice was not tenacity.</p>

<p>I wish I could remember what reading passage went with it. It must have been the one about the girl from the Mountain -- sound familiar to anyone?</p>

<p>I thought the industrialization one was kindof hard...
what was the compensation? was it the financial benefits of industrialization or something along those lines?</p>

<p>also, the journalism one, i put unwarranted and i think passage one makes an arugment passage two rejects or something like that. </p>

<p>clovis -- overland travel not possible, something about crude anchor i think</p>

<p>Yep, financial benefits of industrialization.</p>

<p>Journalism... I don't really remember the questions (except that I hated this section), but I think that it's been established that thoe are the correct answers.</p>

<p>I think i know why they said it wasn't tenacity.
there was a question that was almost exactly the same that wasn't experimental i think
ie ___ was <strong><em>: </em></strong>
where tenacity wasn't even an option
i might be wrong about that</p>

<p>was the yawning passage "informative" or "argumentative" ?
(or was this question for the dog passage?)</p>

<p>Does anyone remember exactly which passages and how many Sentence Completions were on the CR section with the Clovis paired passages? Were there 5 or 8 Sentence Completion questions? And was the short passage on Chinese American women (WW II) in the same section? I recall having two single short passages, a long passage (the shopkeepers one), AND the paired long passages on Clovis Indians on this section. The section was Section 6 (or 5?) for me. Can someone tell me if my memory is playing tricks on me?</p>

<p>If my memory is correct, that would mean that the Clovis paired passages had closer to 8 questions as opposed to the standard 13 or so. That strikes me as extremely odd.</p>

<p>Can someone confirm or contradict my observations?</p>

<p>you are right. the double passage on clovis had around 7-8 questions, the passgae before had like 5 and there were 2 really short passages with 2 questions each and finally 8 sentence completers. it is very odd that a double passage was in the same section as another passsage.</p>

<p>your memory is not playing tricks...its CB.</p>

<p>I have a question about one of the Qs. Something about the word to replace drive with. I know everyone was saying it was vitality but can anyone remember the other word choices?</p>

<p>hpandu, it was:
vitality, momentum, propuslion and some other ones..
im so mad i got it wrong</p>

<p>I put informative for the yawning. Oh crap. I got the drive one wrong. I guessed propulsion. I knew I should have skipped that. Oh man, I already know I got 2 wrong on the CR. -.- That and one of the stupid Clovis question.</p>

<p>Thanks, I guess I did put vitality. And it was informative for yawning, definitely not argumentative.</p>

<p>I'm really aggravated because I switched my answer from vitality to momentum.</p>

<p>I also changed mine to momentum. I feel like kicking myself now.</p>

<p>I'm really angry too, I changed mine from vitality to propulsion. I thought that propulsion would fit in better if it was meant to be used in the figurative sense...I felt that "drive" meant "ambition" in that case, and vitality didn't really make sense to me so I put propulsion. Sigh!</p>

<p>I thought that one was a really poor question. None of the answers truly matched what they should have been looking for. None of them were synonymous to 'drive.'</p>

<p>what was the answer for the caffine question</p>
