***Official Oct. SAT creatical reading*** comparing answers

<p>i put:
-endured (pretty sure that was right)
-reassurance (i think this was the last MLK Q? the one that asked why ppl liked the i have a dream speech?)
-embarassingly inapt
-vain</p>

<p>are we sure it was one of the critical reading sections that was the experimental?</p>

<p>ps. i think this years test was easier than last years (may). agree? maybe its just because it was the 2nd time i took it (although i prepared for the one in may, didnt do anything for this one)</p>

<p>the MLK passage, the Mr. Bebee passage, and the Acting passage were not experimentals because everyone had those 3. If you had another crit reading, like I did, then that was the experimental.</p>

<p>i put vain for that question...</p>

<p>Does anybody know which CR was experimental? I hope MLK is, or at least Cecile.</p>

<p>oh what about that vocab one, i think it was the last vocab q in one of sections, the question was something about historians studying other countries, i remember that i put (c) and it was an M word... and some otehr options were cosmopolitan and jocular...</p>

<p>The answer is cosmopolitan.</p>

<p>flip, sorry but both are not experimental..got both...with math exp</p>

<p>I heard experimental is about Nixon</p>

<p>-endured (pretty sure that was right)
-reassuring <- second to last
-embarassingly inapt
-vain
what was the answer for the last question... I think I got like C.
I'm not sure though</p>

<p>i missed the cosmoplitan one, ahhhh! the actors one was hard too!</p>

<p>yeah wait lets talk about the acting one (which was odd).. haha i remember i had something in my eye for like that entire section so i was really distracted/couldnt see...</p>

<p>(funnyguy-- me too... and i always thought i knew the definition for cosmopolitan .. )</p>

<p>What was the question for the embarassingly inapt one?</p>

<p>What did the guy ultimately think of his comment, "the string is cut" (or something like that)?</p>

<p>I put "regrettably underhanded" but I think it was wrong.</p>

<p>Do you remember what any of the other choices were?</p>

<p>Can we all agree that CB is retarded in its passage choice this time?</p>

<p>Matt, the choices were:</p>

<p>Regrettably underhanded
embarrassingly inapt</p>

<p>Those are the ones I can remember, and I am pretty sure those are the only that were even close to possible.</p>

<p>the passage choices are always super-lame. ha they are probably things that were rejected by publishers so being on the sats had to suffice. these were no exception.</p>

<p>anyone remember any q's from the acting section? i remember one having to do with the "dance of words" or something and the q asked about its significance, i picked the one that was like "it shows what words can lead to" or something like that?</p>

<p>whats the difference between Prolong and endure?</p>

<p>prolong is like to keep something going, like "prolonging the battery life", while endure is like to have to deal with, i.e. "somehow endured the countless insults", but it also applies to this passage, because endured was right.</p>

<p>was one of the answers for cecil passage: ms honeychurch would play the piano with less discipline or something?</p>

<p>i got embarrassingly inapt-
vain
cosmopolitan
endured
reassurance</p>

<p>im 99% sure that these are right</p>

<p>hmm..
what was answer for last qtuesion in mlk? i put B</p>
