<p>sunnyboy, since you have the enviro passage can you look at it again and see where SECURE=ACQUIRE comes in and what the "dark side" and "wild idea" were?</p>
<p>Here's the quote from the passage: "In the 1960's, an era of experimental thinking, psychologist Roger Barker had a particularly wild idea. He decided to chronicle entire days in the lives of children..." Barker's "wild idea" was thus "unconventional."</p>
<p>Here's the passage: "On the other hand, behavior settings have a dark side that we brush up against whenever we contemplate changing the positioning of the furniture in the living room, say, or try to get people we live with to hang their coats in the closet instead of dumping them in a chair. We find out that what started out as 'a way' has somehow turned into 'the way' becoming so entrenched that...." So the dark side is our tendency to lose flexibility in thinking.</p>
<p>I omitted like 6 (I didn't really learn test-taking strategies :( ) and I probably missed like 5 or 6...what's this, like a 600?</p>
<p>Thanks sunnyboy! I got those two right!</p>
<p>Zachsta - using the March 2005 scale (our only true new SAT scale), if you missed 6 and omitted 6 your raw score would be a 54 which equals a 660!
(Remember if you miss 6 then 1 point must be deducted for guessing).</p>
<p>Great! Glad to help! All praise to Google and of course CC!!!</p>
<p>All praise be to Allah! Allah-u-Akbar!</p>
<p>For some reason I think I got 2 wrong and one omit on this test which is quite impossible for me. I hope for a pleasant surprise in June 20th. Anyways thanks for using your time to compile the answers.</p>
<p>Hey, do you remember the phrase for the word "took" in the traveling passage? why is it gleaned? That is the question i think I got wrong.</p>
<p>Hemingway went on a car trip to France with Fitzgerald. On the trip Fitzgerald annoyed Hemingway. So Hemingway TOOK from this trip that you shouldn't travel with anyone you don't enjoy being around. What does TOOK mean? In this context TOOK means what he LEARNED. The closest answer was GLEANED. Glean means to collect bit by bit (as in information).
Hope this helps.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot, I put gleaned first, then i changed the answer to withstood the last minute, oh well.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how the May SAT CR Curve went???</p>
<p>In answer to Heltahir's:</p>
<p>"OK, where are you getting question 11 of the travelers passage from. That doesn't sound familiar. </p>
<p>Are you sure it was a question?"</p>
<p>I remember that the question said something like "What would the author of Passage 1 consider one of the "comforts of traveling" mentioned by the author of Passage 2?" There might have even been a line reference to the "comforts" quote.</p>
<p>does anyone remember exactly what the sentence was for the sentence completion that had "extemporize" as an answer?</p>
<p>The professor had such strong knowledge of his subject (butterflies I think) that he was able to EXTEMPORIZE (teach from memory) when he taught.</p>
<p>ohh was it in the last CR section?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the exact sentences that the following words were used in:
proponent
perspectives...anonymity
hampered
sedentary
I don't remember the context that they were used in, so I'm not sure if I answered them correctly. Thank you!
