<p>It is now apparent that there were a number of different versions! Here is what I remember from the verbal sections of my test:</p>
<p>Essay - Do memories help or hinder people in their efforts to learn from the past and succeed in the present?
Grammar - Had a fix the paragraph reading on El Greco. Had a second grammar section with a fix the paragraph reading on a poetry slam. Now know from talking with a friend who had this version that the El Greco section was experimental and the Poetry slam counted.
Readings:
1. Reading on the jargon used by astronauts
2. Reading on a Chinese woman and her daughter. Chinese woman did bi-lingual signs. She taught her unwilling daughter the art of calligraphy
3. Paired-Passage: First author wanted to travel alone. The one exception was eating a fine meal at the end of a trip. The second author liked companionship but then cited someone who had a bad experience.
4. Long Passage in 20 minute Section - Turns out that our environment has a great impact on society and social roles
Sentence Completions: Here in no particular order are the answers I remember:
TEPID
AMALGAM .. COIN
ENTHRALLED
PROPONENT
RETICENT - Thurgood Marshall is reticent
EBULLIENCE - PESSIMISM
ENDEMIC
IMPECUNIOUS .. AFFLUENT
CAN ANYONE ADD MORE DETAILS TO THIS LIST!</p>
<p>fob...it was either ennui or chagrin but i remember the girl wasnt really angry so i put ennui but without remembering the sentence i cant be sure of my answer</p>
<p>i don't think "reticent" was the answer. i thought the question was Thurgood Marshal was outspoken but outside of the court he was______ (or something like that)...i put flamboyant</p>
<p>i definitely screwed up all sentence completions in the CR sections...for those who had CR as the experimental section, can you tell me exactly which one was the experimental?</p>
<p>r u sure the amalgam and coin one is right? i remember there was that and another choice that i was debating over, nd i chose the other one. forgot what it was :l. i really screwed up on vocab</p>
<p>just wondering, was section 2 (grammar writing) the experimental? because there was 2 writings back to back. looked really fishy</p>
<p>I had two 25 minute grammar sections. Section 2 included a fix the passage reading on an El Greco painting. I liked this section and thought I did well. But I also had a 25 minute grammar section in Section 5 that included a fix the passage reading on a poetry "slam." I have a friend who had the same math and verbal sections as I did. Like me he had two 25 minute grammar sections. He had the poetry slam and a reading on Serena and Venus Williams. So I am forced to conclude that the poetry slam section counted and the El Greco and Williams sisters sections were experimental.</p>
<p>Yes, AMALGAM .. COIN is the answer. Here's why: the author took two names and coined or created a new one by combining the first name from the first author with the last name of the second author. This created a new combination or AMALGAM. Wasn't my favorite choice of words but none of the other answers worked.</p>
<p>I agree with all the answers (I can't remember enthralled, though). It was also chagrin since I once read a limerick about a ballet dancer whose tutu, to her chagrin, rotted. And ennui means boredom. </p>
<p>I had the same as sunnyboy. I can't remember the El Greco painting, though.</p>
<p>There was a SC with monarch butterflies--I got it wrong, I think it's extemperous. It was like "the teacher never used notes he just taught _____ly."</p>
