Official October SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>I think for the yo-yo question, B and C both had something along the lines of “commercializing was improved.” This was the second to last one (number 22) in the 23 question section. Does anyone remember?</p>

<p>For what question was “and disproportionAte” a right answer</p>

<p>can someone post a compiled list of answers?</p>

<p>for the apes passage asking how the author of passage two differed from the author of passage one, is the answer about “other scientists’ motives” or sth about “ape communication”?</p>

<p>Other scientists motives</p>

<p>haha oh god i missed 4 vocab so far by the looks of this discussion</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question for “scientific implications?”</p>

<p>do you remember anything about alternative explanations?</p>

<p>I personally found the apes passage to be quite difficult. It did not ask any questions about passage 2 and asked many comparison questions. Not to mention that the two passages together were over a page long. I skipped 2 questions and made educated guesses on 3 of them. :/</p>

<p>The scientific implications one was referring to if kanzi could understand language or something. I put that, and I also put the one that was offering a different explanation but I don’t remember what it was talking about</p>

<p>I usually never think twice about tests after I’ve taken them… What’s done is done… we need to stop freaking out for once.
yet CC is driving me up the wall again. this is so not healthy.</p>

<p>@Marshy I deleted CC because I didn’t want to worry about what I got but I always end up coming back to it…this is bad lol</p>

<p>Can someone remind me what “alternative explanation” was the answer to</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question that asked about how the author of passage 2 did something that the author of passage 1 didn’t? I think it was the third to last question of the apes section. Was that the other scientific viewpoints question?</p>

<p>And am I the only person who didn’t put “scientific implications” and put “similar abilities in other apes”?</p>
