Official October SAT Critical Reading Discussion

<p>Darn. Oh well. So far, I’ve only missed two vocab and vocab is my weak point, so meh. </p>

<p>I almost chose ideologue, but I think I ended up choosing another answer. I can’t remember the question, though.</p>

<p>@feedback411
I chose reluctantly optimistic. I think it’s the only one that worked.</p>

<p>Both of your scores will be sent :)</p>

<p>@GalindatheGood So when I send the first four scores free, my March sitting goes? Cool!</p>

<p>I didn’t put reluctantly optimistic I put scholarly enthusiasm haha. He’s not reluctant about anything because he explains that that wasn’t the case. He is, however, enthusiastic about the work he does and the research he has put out. Also, what did you put for the question which asked, what does the sentence imply? And one of the answers was “he thinks that his whatever was incapable of being the cause”</p>

<p>@feedback411</p>

<p>I got puzzling phenomenon, but I don’t remember reluctantly optimistic…what was the question for that one?</p>

<p>I got “clearly wrong” since the first writer was very opinionated and disagreed that the ape had grammatical skills.</p>

<p>Only if you choose to. When you log in to the website, you can check the ones you want to be sent on Send Available Scores/Send Scores When Available. I chose to send all of them(except for 2 of the 3 subject tests I’ve taken) because I did improve a bit.</p>

<p>Also feedback, I got the same thing…“has not been proven wrong yet”</p>

<p>Kingshrey, I got scholarly enthusiasm, too!</p>

<p>Experimental CR: My daughter says she had 4 CR sections. The first two were completely the same with 8 vocab questions. She says the first one was the hardest one and the second one was easier. She believes the first one was the experimental one but isn’t sure. She found out the passage with the dinasaurs is the real one but she cannot remember what order it was in. Was the dinasaur passage in the second one (CR with 8 vocab questions) or the first one (CR with 8 vocab questions)? Also, what was the other passage about in the other one (dinasaurs and ???)? Thank you!!!</p>

<p>@ Kingshrey13, the “reluctantly optimistic” one and the “scholarly enthusiasm” were two separate answers from different passages, I also got “scholarly enthusiasm” for one of them (: the question about reluctantly optimistic was like how would author of passage 1 feel about the attitude toward author of passage 2, according to lines ().</p>

<p>People are mixing up questions! @feedback411 just set the record: “reluctantly optimistic” and “scholarly enthusiasm” are both, I think, strong and very likely answers.</p>

<p>Feedback, which passage was it for? also what did you guys get for the mars and Venus one where it was like what would happen the the Himalayan peaks on mars?</p>

<p>Reluctantly optimistic was for the apes passage.</p>

<p>Scholarly enthusiasm was for the dinosaur one.</p>

<p>What were the answer choices for the reluctantly optimistic one?</p>

<p>@Kingshrey13</p>

<p>the mars and venus one was experimental, I never had that passage…</p>

<p>THANK GOD. THAT ONE WAS SO HARD LOL. You can get 2 wrong and still get an 800 right?</p>

<p>Yes on most tests 2 wrong 0 omits is an 800. Maybe a 790 if the stars REALLY aren’t in your favor.</p>

<p>I should’ve gotten one wrong in math but I got 2 wrong unfortunately :confused: stupid mistake on my part</p>

<p>I think that it was the question asking about the conclusion for reluctantly optimistic. He wasn’t though he was describing a mood that was against human superiority or something. He wasn’t saying scientists were reluctantly optimistic.</p>

<p>what was the vocab for the philosopher one? I put complex and something like easy to understand</p>
