Official Verbal Thread - Version with Astronauts

Test Preparation
121

<p>HELTAHIR,
Was the potential to become exclusive an answer choice, because I believe that it was part of a sentence in the passage. None of the answer choices were that the astronauts had a potential to become exclusive, because I would have chosen that one... I put unprecedented, but I wasn't sure. There was a choice that I think said the astronauts were purposely becoming exclusive, but I didn't pick that one because the passage said that there were no signs of it being deliberately exclusive.</p>

<p>hope you could understand that =D</p>

122

<p>iamconfuzzled, I thought one of the answer choices was the 'potential to become exclusive.' It was choice A that I selected.</p>

123

<p>A isn't potential. I think C or D was, but it was what I put.</p>

124

<p>Wait, so you put the answer choice with 'potential ...' in it Spartan Pho3nix ???</p>

125

<p>Oh yeah, I've got one quick question:</p>

<p>I had three Writing Sections. I had two 35 question sets, one on an El-Greco Painting lover, and one on a poetry slam. </p>

<p>Which one of these two sections was experimental ?</p>

126

<p>I had the same test as you. It's unknown with speculation...I don't remmeber what people said...i think poetry is experimental? Anyways - it should be on CB soon cause the sunday administration of the test is almost done.</p>

127

<p>it has to be the one w/ El Grecko...i had the poetry slam passage with a CR experimental. Can you tell me which passage was experimental, asian calligraphy or astronaut jargon</p>

128

<p>Yeah, same as solarz--
I had four MATH sections AND the poetry slam section.</p>

<p>Where do you see on collegeboard.com which sections were experimental?</p>

129

<p>zachsta....which CR passages did you have in your math experimental</p>

130

<p>?? CR passages in a math section?</p>

131

<p>since you had a math experimental, both CR passages would be the "real thing"; your passages could then tell me which CR section was experimental on my test</p>

132

<p>Ooooooh, ok, well, I remember having all of the sections that sunnyboy mentioned except for the EL GRECO section. Hope that helps.</p>

133

<p>The weight of evidence favors El Greco as experimental and Poetry slam as the section that counts. See posts 17, 49, 128 and especially 132. Too bad I thught the El Greco was easier.</p>

134

<p>sunnyboy, where do you go on collegeboard to find which section was the experimental</p>

135

<p>Yeah, same question.</p>

<p>Let's go over the astronaut one--I don't remember putting many of those answers :/</p>

136

<p>i had 4 math sections 2
my test was like 2math, 3reading 4math, 5 gram, 6 math, 7 readinh, 8 math, 9 reading, 10 grammar</p>

<p>im pretty sure 2 or 4 was expirimental but i dont know which one,
i had an astronaut passage, the calligraphy and teh traveling one
for gram i had the poetry slam</p>

<p>for math, i had a problem with like what was the probability of dice and it was liek 16/36 or something
i also had a q (on a dif section) of 3 circles tangent to a line and find the height, and it was like 2rt3 +12 (i dont know if htats correct) and a q with 2 lines intersecting in the 1st quad and ihad to find the equation of one of the lines if the other line was y=mx+b, can anyone help me and tell me which on of my math sections was expirmental!?</p>

137

<p>This was a tough question. I recall this question pretty well because I spent too much time on it. (In fact, I should have left it blank). The question was something like - The author suggests that paying a professional decorator to find a better spot for the sofa is -
1. A creative though somewhat unorthodox solution to a vexing problem
2. An unfortunate consequence of a behaviorial phenomenon
I debated both answers. It seems to me both can be defended. Who put what and why?</p>

138

<p>Socgirl, I think we had the exact same version.</p>

139

<p>I put 2: it wasn't really creative because people just try to avoid that kind of decision-making--not out of laziness, but more out of fear that their solution will be undesirable.</p>

140

<p>Good question. Based upon what I have read on the CC threads there were at least 3 different versions of the test. College Board will shortly (probably tomorrow) list the three different sequences. This should clarify the situation. If I recall correctly information will be on their home page. Hope this helps you.</p>
