<p>i'm so ****ed.</p>
<p>i can't believe i didn't finish one CR portion. that pretty much ruined my chances at a 700+.</p>
<p>was "false supposition" a correct answer for the uncle/girl marriage passage?</p>
<p>What was the question for the false supposition thing?</p>
<p>I THINK i bubbled that because the other ones didnt make sense.. however I was really unsure because I didnt know what supposition meant..</p>
<p>the uncle/marraige section was the easiest on the whole test. i think i got 1 wrong MAX on that section.</p>
<p>the middle section (mona lisa) murdered me and i did OK on the other one.</p>
<p>Yeah uncle/niece - easy
africa- hard
city/nature - easy
mona lisa - easy</p>
<p>were there any more?</p>
<p>does anyone remember anything else about the African one except
shadowy=unsubstantiated
doubt to pride
cultural ties/ongoing relationship
broad generalizations</p>
<p>Oops... I put scholarly analysis... eh... now that I think about it, it was more generalizations than anything.</p>
<p>for me:
africa- hard
mona lisa- hard
uncle/niece- easy
city/nature- easy</p>
<p>the mona lisa one wasn't actually that bad, i just went way too slow and didn't finish.</p>
<p>were there only 4 long passages?
africa, monalisa, uncle/niece, city/nature?</p>
<p>yeah, only 4 long passages i think.</p>
<p>On the African passage, there were a couple more questions that I remember. One was "How do you describe the {first] proverb?" The answer was cautionary advice. Another question about another proverb ("If you steal a baby, it will return when it wakes") asked what that meant; the answer was people feel "an inherent" longing for their roots/cultural identity</p>
<p>oh ok thats cool</p>
<p>Im a sucky-cr person but I reckon I did pretty well in the CR portion :)</p>
<p>i agree</p>
<p>1.cautionary advice
2.longing for their identity or wahtever</p>
<p>i'm usually pretty good but i did bad this time...</p>
<p>i think i might have to retake one last time in december because of the CR. :(</p>
<p>The Brian: are you a senior? and how many times have you taken the sat? Just asking, because I'm a senior and this was my first time. I was supposed to take it in june, but the APs combined with nsane procrastination made me move it up to oct.</p>
<p>For me:</p>
<p>City passage - Medium (2/3 wrong)
Africa passage - Easy (0 wrong)
Mona Lisa passages - Easy (0/1 wrong)
Girl/Uncle passage - Easy (0/1 wrong)
Short passages - Easy (0 wrong)
Thoreau passages - Hard (2 wrong)
Sentence Completions - Easy (0 wrong)</p>
<p>Thoreau effing killed me.</p>
<p>longislander, i'm a senior and this was my second time.</p>
<p>i might have to take a 3rd... :(</p>
<p>i'll have to practice keeping focus.</p>
<p>Thoreau passage ! Was HARD
I got confused with Walden and Theoreau cos initially, I thought Walden was the author! And I had to read it again to understand..Stupid mistake haha</p>
<p>Sentence completions were pretty hard i think. The only word that I previously memorised in my prep, that was in the test, was Pugnacious. And I couldnt remember what that meant lol</p>
<p>I remembered a new question, but I thought it was pretty easy.</p>
<p>It was like, the author referred to the forest to be used as... a comparison, an allusion, etc</p>
<p>Haha, pugnacious = quarrelsome</p>
<p>And yeah, my answers to the first 2 Thoreau questions were basically absolute guesses, so I'm just assuming I got them both wrong. (I put E for both in case anyone has any recollection of the lettered answers they chose for those.)</p>
