<p>Siddysidsid, I am sorry that we have been arguing so much. I guess we are both super concerned with our writing scores :). Look though: the answer was either “broadly speaking” or “in particular”. The other choices denoted a contrast. “However” was wrong. </p>
<p>Let’s try plugging in nonetheless.</p>
<p>Librarians focused on preservation rather than use. Inexperienced college students, nonetheless, were expected not to have a need for them. </p>
<p>I dont know if this makes sense.</p>
<p>Yeah nonetheless, saying Yo it’s not like they gon use them anyhowz, but still if they do… Yoyoyo. Or something similar?</p>
<p>Is there any way that one could have been fortunately? Because if the books are so fragile then it would be fortunate that inexperienced students don’t have a need for them?</p>
<p>I’m sorry to keep arguing this point, but the paragraph about the librarians went from general to specific. It first discussed the librarians’ unwillingness to let others use their fragile, rare old books. Then, the last sentence of the paragraph said that “Inexperienced college students, NEVERTHELESS, were not thought to have any need of the book.” Obviously nevertheless was incorrect, and why would “broadly speaking” fit? The librarians figured that inexperienced college students, in particular, would not need the books, thus they kept them well stored and away from the university students.</p>
<p>Yeah well I still think that 750 for one wrong on math is ludicrous. Im gonna cry when I get my scores back!</p>
<p>Yeah, that’s really harsh! I guess I’ll go sign up for the next SAT now. <em>sob</em></p>
<p>Ok skylimits, lets get this straight. It did not go from general to specific in the sense that you said. In fact, there was no mention of people not using the books in the previous sentences. Your rationale behind “in particular” is not sufficient I feel . I think other people argued for “in particular” much better, but I am not convinced it is the answer.</p>
<p>Now that I think of it, I can’t seem to think of a reason why “fortunately” would be wrong. Hmmm…</p>
<p>Thanks dude. It’s always nice to get yelled at when you try to explain your rationale for an answer on the SAT.
…</p>
<p>I still think in particular makes sense</p>
<p>In particular was definitely the answer choice it went from talking about people in general who used the books to inconsiderate college students</p>
<p>no it did not go from talking about people in general…</p>
<p>The sentence preceding it wasn’t talking about people. ^ I concur.</p>
<p>-1 will not be 750. -1 will be 780, -2 will be 740, and -3 will be 700.</p>
<p>Could anybody type in the exact text surrounding this question so we can argue about
“in particular” vs “broadly speaking” in a more meaningful way? Obviously, the true answer
matters a great deal to a lot of us. But a consensus will not arrive without knowing exact
what text was involved in the question.</p>
<p>In CR I probably got between 780-800. Doesn’t matter as I already got an 800. I thought the vocabulary on this test was pretty brutal.</p>
<p>In Writing, I probably got between a 740-800, depending on my essay score. I know I got at least one MC question wrong.</p>
<p>Math…oh god. This was my lowest score, so I really wanted to bring it up. I think I did about the same as last time, which would bring me to around a 680 depending on the curve. I didn’t want to have to take this again in October, but it’s looking more and more likely.</p>
<p>My predictions for myself:</p>
<p>CR - 800, almost definitely.
Math - 800 (though not quite as certain as CR).
Writing - ~750 - 800, depending on essay and whether that one answer is “broadly speaking” or “in particular.”</p>
<p>Oh my god, I cant wait for the scores to come back!</p>
<p>Math - I will probably kick a baby, possibly several babies, maybe even every child in a day care center within a 200 mile radius, and subsequently devour it out of an all-consuming rage if my score isn’t an 800
Cr - On the higher end of 750-800
Writing - 750-800 but I really don’t give one lonely **** about this section anymore</p>
<p>I think my scores will be
Math- 750
Critical Reading- 750
Writing- 770 (The essay about unfairness was a breeze!)</p>
<p>MichaelGScarn, I sincerely hope you get an 800 in math. Not just for the honor, but for all of the babies in your area.</p>
<p>@twistandtimshel
LOL, yeah I hope he got an 800 too.</p>
<p>I predict
CR-770
Writing-750
Math-660</p>
<p>It’s interesting, because I got 750 in Math last time but am positive I dropped about that much. I wonder what schools will think when they see that drop haha. Whatever…</p>
