<p>Took another test today…got a 2170!
Guys, omitting questions that you are really struggling with might help in the beginning…it’s helping me right now, but probably won’t help in the future, so don’t omit questions as often as you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner.</p>
<p>Anyways, here’s more questions I got stuck on…</p>
<p>A century ago, opponents of women’s suffrage in the United States scoffed at the notion that extending the vote to women would make any difference. “Women will vote with their husbands” was the commonly accepted wisdom. This was an argument made in the absence of evidence, as women did not yet have the vote. Ever since women won the vote, researchers have been keeping close track of female voting behavior. A “gender gap” in voting behavior has been found in the United States as in many other countries. In the United States, the 1994 and 1996 elections showed the largest gaps ever between candidates favored by women and those favored by men.</p>
<p>The primary purpose of the passage is to
a) describe the evolution of a gender gap in the United States
b) present a concise history of the women’s suffrage movement
c) show the inaccuracy of a prediction about women’s suffrage
d) discuss the resistance women faced in acquiring the vote
e) explain the differences in voting behavior between men and women</p>
<p>Why isn’t the answer A? And why is the correct answer C?</p>
<p>As the passage presents it, the “commonly accepted wisdom” assumed that
a) women would have the same views as men on most subjects
b) women’s votes would be cancelled out by men’s votes
c) many women would choose not to vote in elections
d) many husbands would discourage their wives from voting
e) married women would not vote independently of their husbands</p>
<p>Why isn’t the correct answer A? Why is the correct answer E?</p>
<p>Hi Eagle, the Answer is C because A and all the other answer is wrong. A is wrong because the passage is focusing on Suffrage and voting rights while “gender gap” could encompass many other subjects so it is too broad.</p>
<p>the second question I got that wrong too
I think it’s E because “married Woman” A is wrong because the answer is referring to women in general not “married Woman”</p>
<p>Ah…one of those “trick” answers…just one subtle detail makes the answer entirely wrong…thanks for your help, man.</p>
<p>For all of you, I can help with Q’s writing and math…I’m consistently getting 730-800 in those areas…we all want to get the highest score possible, right??? :)</p>
<p>Got a 2100 on the last SAT with 600 in writing… hopefully I can bring that one up to 800. Still ****es me off that one question wrong in math section is 30 point deduction.</p>
<p>For writing, how much time is left after you finished the entire writing section? You might have speeded through and didn’t read carefully. Also, try to practice the grammar rules that you don’t understand, such as idioms and modifiers.</p>
<p>“He will be elected president of the student council” is correct. “He will be elected for president of the student council” is awkward when you say it out loud. The “for” makes the sentence sound weird and wrong. If you want to use the “for” in this sentence, the sentence should be like: “The students elected him FOR president of the student council.”</p>
<p>“Clear water of sea provides a paradise for scuba divers”. The correct idiomatic structure is provide…for. You provide something for someone; you can’t say that you provide something to someone.</p>
<p>Because chimpanzees exhibit behavior so remarkably
similar to some human behavior, scientists observing
them in the wild often develop a degree of empathy
with the individuals being studied. In itself this is
not a bad thing. Subtle communication cues among
chimpanzees are more readily detected and recorded
Once an observer has established this empathy. </p>
<p>However, scientists must guard against the constant
Danger of automatically interpreting what they see as if
chips act from human motivations. Their observations
must be as objective as possible. Intuitive interpretations
may initially be based on an understanding stemming
directly from empathy, but they must be tested after-
ward against the facts set out in the data.</p>
<p>Passage 2</p>
<p>My first day observing a community of forest chim-
panzees showed me a richer and more satisfying world
than I had imagined. I suddenly recognized why I, a non-
scientist, or anyone should care about what happens to
them: not, ultimately, because they use tools and solve
problems and are intellectual beings, but because their
emotions are so obviously similar to ours.</p>
<p>I was moved by the play, the adult male chasing
a toddler round and round a tree, the mother nibbling
her baby’s toes and looking blissful, the three females
playing with and adoring a single infant. They feel!
That was my discovery.</p>
<p>The experience described in Passage 2 most directly suggests that the statement about the “danger” (line 9, Passage 1)
A) accurately assesses the strength of a common human impulse
B) needlessly exaggerates the risks a person faces among wild chimpanzees
C) appropriately warns professionals about the necessity of keeping their research current
D) discourages overly optimistic observers from expecting to make new discoveries
E) fails to consider the consequences of a flawed research methodology</p>
<p>Really want a 2300+. Currently at a 2250 with a 720 CR, 770 M, and 760 W. I’ve taken the SAT twice and gotten one math question wrong both times, so I’m going for the 800 this time. I know I can get 800 on CR because I got an 80 on the PSAT and I’ve been acing practice tests lately. If I go up 10 points in math and 50 in CR, I’ll be at my goal. I think I can do it. Last SAT I took was in March.</p>
<p>I am currently in the range of 2260-2320, but I can’t seem to push the final obstacle into 2330+. It is frustrating sometimes, and considering there are only a few days left, I am worried I will get a less than ideal score. Sigh.</p>
obtain “it” technically isn’t ambiguous because if you look into the first clause, “it” refers to his interest in painting. There’s no other options for “it” in this case.</p>
<p>@eagle, not sure if someone answered your CR question yet but its A because passage 2 has absolutely nothing about research methods or even research in general. But rather “accurately assesses the strength of a common human impulse” fits because the second paragraph of passage 2 is almost exclusively the speaker talking about how chimps “feel” and assume that what they are doing are automatically equal to what humans do (playing, etc).</p>
<p>if you have any other CR questions, feel free to message me! Trying to practice lots of CR. :)</p>
