Official October SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>did anyone have a passage about a boy from paris named sonny who was walking with his uncle edgar to visit like sonny’s great grandmother or something? (i think this was experimental)</p>

<p>Which ones were the reading experimental, I had 4 reading sections, but not the mars one nor did I get one about Nixon?</p>

<p>Social pressures/social something helped lead to woman suffrage or something. Yea Imperative.</p>

<p>What do people remember for that creative writing mini passages? My answers:
1st passage likes peer editing (question on difference between passages)
They both think that while creative writing course is helpful, it’s not necessary</p>

<p>I also put vague past, is it not right? </p>

<p>also for the dinosaur one, instead of unflattering did anyone put cynical?</p>

<p>^
It’s definitely unflattering. I forget the question, but it described the dinosaurs as weird-looking (not in those words) in the passage.</p>

<p>Answer to the women’s suffrage question was the one that mentioned how social welfare lead to an increased suffrage.</p>

<p>What answers do you remember for the small passage about creative writing?</p>

<p>It’s not vague past. It’s the answer which states that it was what he wanted to tell</p>

<p>It’s the teacher’s eccentric something</p>

<p>That’s a different question</p>

<p>What about the Homer passage?</p>

<p>Was one of the answers “words that sounds/rhyme better and flow better”? and one answer was that past researchers may have thought that homers epics were originally only oral poems and things?</p>

<p>It’s the teacher’s eccentricity.</p>

<p>And wasn’t the difference between the passages on creative writing that the Passage 1 author focused on life experiences? Nowhere in Passage 2 were life experiences mentioned. Peer review was implicitly mentioned through the talking about a class.</p>

<p>@TheNexus yeah both of those are correct.</p>

<p>Are you serious Leinad? Nowhere in passage 2 was peering editing mentioned. Passage 1 didn’t talk about life experiences?</p>

<p>Passage 1’s first advice was to reflect on life’s experiences. Passage 2 doesn’t talk ANYTHING about that. I’m completely serious.</p>

<p>Moreover, Passage 2 talks about how a good class can improve one’s creating writing abilities. That’s a bit more suggestive of peer editing as opposed to life experiences, which it didn’t discuss at all.</p>

<p>Has anyone found any of the passages online?</p>

<p>what was the question with the answer ‘insufficient skepticism’?</p>

<p>DAT CR section.</p>

<p>i think i missed 1.</p>

<p>i thought that if something is understandable, then it would have to have a profound impact.</p>

<p>■■■</p>

<p>For the object that would disprove the theory of ‘multiples’, was it letters between Newton and the other scientist discussing calculus? </p>

<p>I picked that because the two scientists discovering calculus would not become independent events any longer and would not support the theory of some discoveries ‘destined to be made in different places’</p>

<p>did you have a passage about a boy from paris named sonny who was walking with his uncle edgar to visit like sonny’s great grandmother or something? i think this was my experimental since no one else seemed to have had it</p>

<p>@IGotAn800 “The letters” was totally the answer: the whole idea behind the theory of multiples was that two or more people discovered the same thing sans communication/collaborative efforts…so the letters would be a clear indication that the theory was in fact a hoax, and the two scientists were putting their heads together all along.</p>
