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

<p>for the grave sincerity question....i put studied neutrality....but idk if thats right - thats the feeling i got from the reading</p>

<p>grave sincerity does not equal great conviction in my mind</p>

<p>I think the acting passage was easier than MLK, but slightly harder than the Cecile one (even though I think I got 1 wrong for Cecile and none wrong for acting). I probably got 2 or 3 wrong on the MLK one though, as I had no idea *** was going on. </p>

<p>Basically, the Sentence Completions were abnormally easy. Some passages were normal, and a few passages were insanely hard.</p>

<p>BTW, I put conviction and passion for life as piano. But I put "underhanded" for some reason (<em>kicks self</em>).</p>

<p>i think there were two questions that had underhanded as choices
there was a passage I recall with a phrase in italics and it said why was it in italics and I think I put something having to do with underhanding the message or something
can someone confirm</p>

<p>I wonder where ETS can draw the line on certain critical reading questions...some of them seem quite controversial</p>

<p>btw I had 2 passages on Civil rights: one regarding MLK's speech and another about a little girl who visited the library to escape society. Is the 2nd possibly experimental?</p>

did anyone get penchant for an answer?

</p>

<p>On that question I think I chose the answer with "bent" because the second blank on the "penchant" choice didn't make sense. I wish I could remember the actual sentence....</p>

<p>can you guys discuss the dancing/acting one?</p>

<p>for some reason i found that one SOOOO difficult, i know i bombed it. i thought it was way harder than the MLK one, but maybe its because it was my 9th section and i was already burned out.. :( it was hard. but it seems easy for all of you since no one really questions it..</p>

<p>god, the reading was ridiculous...I was half expecting the passages to actually get easier as I progessed through the test...man was I wrong..lol</p>

<p>Did anyone remember the context for the question where "vain" was the answer? Cause I definitely don't think I put vain...</p>

<p>nor did I remember putting vain...It seems our efforts are truly in "vain" (feel free to punch me for this DICTUM)</p>

<p>What was the answer to the sermon one and why?</p>

<p>sermon = how readers owe alot to MLK. I originally put "a trait" but then i read the sentence after that.</p>

<p>i also put conviction, passion, and underhand. i also made the stupid mistake of "cajole" VS bully. Damn, i haven't used the word cajole since i studied it from kaplan's word list 2 years ago.</p>

<p>Is it proven that the answer was "embarrassingly inapt" rather than "regrettably underhanded," or is there still hope for me?</p>

<p>The compilation thread is up!</p>
