Test Preparation
121

<p>the answer was disenfranchise.</p>

122

<p>math = horrible (72)
cr = looks like 80 thus far, prolly not tho.
writing - who knows?</p>

<p>naidu, wut's NY's cutoff for national merit?</p>

123

<p>nooooo, the chimpanzees were that they couldnt eat the termites or something... the reading said that they had the same environment and access to tools..</p>

124

<p>good job! .</p>

125

<p>yeah papercrane that's what i put!</p>

126

<p>Yes its the skills.</p>

<p>And for the other question it was the one that said that the other chimps didn't have termites. The passage specifically says that both sides have all the variables and such.</p>

127

<p>If I recall correctly, I put down choice E about "technical skills" for the first chimpanzee question. The second question was choice D because it stated that one group lacked raw materials ("termites"), but the passage stated that raw materials were present on both sides of the river.</p>

128

<p>the chimpanzee was that they couldn't eat the termites because the reading said that there were the same raw materials</p>

129

<p>eh, not really, i wanted a better score, but as long as i get in the 220s im fine</p>

130

<p>what was the question about the architects
a.displaced/innovative
b.courted/...</p>

131

<p>The NY cut off is like 221.</p>

132

<p>i put b, courted/accomplished b/c that sounded right</p>

<p>cause they said high profile architects, but they excluded the not-so-well known although they were more accomplished</p>

133

<p>i put courted...</p>

<p>crap</p>

134

<p>it was displaced/innovative -> if I remember the question correctly.
the critics were complaining</p>

135

<p>man ive done so badly! i know ive missed 4 of the CR:
-diatribe
-disenfranchise
-stopgap (dont even remember what i put)
-twinkle twinkly sci vs. romantic one</p>

<p>what did i do right?</p>

136

<p>remember some things here might be wrong.</p>

137

<p>i put courted...</p>

138

<p>no, naidu, the critics were not complaining that they displaced they high profile architects, cause they didnt; they hired the high profile ones and left the other, possibly better ones.</p>

139

<p>I put courted....</p>

140

<p>how many no errors did u guys get on the writing part</p>
