<p>Shush, we’re ruining the thread for other people. And I don’t understand your argument at all. You can’t write rational responses when you’re angry.</p>
<p>What did you guys put for that Thom Yorke/Radiohead question? I had it narrrowed it down to something like between B or E.</p>
<p>I think that he is willing to conform with other people and make concessions. He is the opposite of socrates who wasn’t modest but stubborn.</p>
<p>“pretending to enjoy modest jokes”. A conciliatory person tries to placate, which means to make someone less angry or hostile. This means they avoid confrontation. By laughing at the joke, it makes them seem agreeable (conciliatory). What does “attempting to impress” (pretentiousness) have to do with laughing at someone’s joke? that’s not impressing anyone. you’re wrong, sir.</p>
<p>and the radiohead question was “Thom Yorke was… so impressed by icelandic band that he took them on tour with him”.</p>
<p>nice. thank you.</p>
<p>Anyone want to estimate my score?
-1 CR (I feel this still could be a 80)
-0 M
<p>Im wavering by your arguments, i see your points, but when you see pretentious(in microsoft word definition)as:behaving in an unnatural way intended to impress others. Then the laughing at jokes, being a servile servant, and trying to impree the police all makes sense. I just dont like conciliatory because he is not trying to fix his relationship with others to begin with.</p>
<p>Also, i getting tired of this too, and i want to go play ball with my friends(to shoot4ivys), but the closest i got for conciliate was:to gain something, especially somebody’s friendship, goodwill, or respect, by behaving pleasantly. So you guys think he is behaving quite pleasantly, instead of behaving in a unnatural way?</p>
<p>Once again, I apologize for my earlier words. Yet all this debate would probably become a fodder on which to muse on several years from now.</p>
<p>ughhh
guys what would mine be
math: -1 but i left like 2 blank
reading: like around 4
writing: 2-3</p>
<p>at least over 200?</p>
<p>@the kid who is freaking out over the “conciliatory” question - wow</p>
<p>can we move on and discuss something relevant? What did you guys have for the no errors on the EIDs?</p>
<p>@shoot4ivy:
I’m guessing your CR score will be 80, because usually the scaling works that way.
Your math score will of course be 80, and your writing score (assuming you missed 5), will be maybe a 65 or 64. I’m saying this because on last years’ PSAT, I missed 5 on writing and I got a 63. So, overall, you could have gotten a 225 or 226.</p>
<p>and @hotdog57:
I’m pretty sure you got over 200. Your math score might be around a 72 (because you left 2 blank), your writing score could be a 74 (2 wrong) or 71 (3 wrong), and your CR score could be around a 70 (assuming the curve is lenient). So overall, you could have either gotten a anywhere from a 213 to a 216.</p>
<p>I think that this “fear of running” question was really the one with “member of a” question… Can someone confirm??
What was the sentence with “accelerating” in it?</p>
<p>You guys are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that the one question was “coined term” instead of “humorous/satirical”?</p>
<p>oh and could someone please remind me what the question was for the “surrounded by sympathizers” one?</p>
<p>Yes. The phrase wasn’t funny at all and was referring to the new era of people.</p>
<p>And it was talking about what the painting of Socrates implied.</p>
<p>yes we are certain, and just throwing this out there, i found this on bloomsberg.com:It is imperative that the government CONTINUES its effort to reduce the stress on its balance sheet,” he said. So that question was no error.</p>
<p>It was definitely “continue”. Here’s an article on the subjunctive form: [Grave</a> Error It is Imperative that I Be Subjunctive](<a href=“http://www.graveerror.net/2007/09/13/it-is-imperative-that-i-be-subjunctive/]Grave”>It is Imperative that I Be Subjunctive | Grave Error)</p>
<p>Could anyone guess my score?
Critical Reading: -5
Math: -0
Writing: maybe -1
I’m trying to make the cutoff for California…</p>
<p>EDIT: oh, and it is “continue” because of the subjunctive</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the other sentence completions? Let’s try to get all 13…</p>
<p>1.punctilious,
2. sanguine
improve (one about optimistic prediction for ailing economy),
3. cerebral/visceral,
4. disparaging/charitable
5. accelerating
6. verify
accuracy
7. reveal
understatement
8. support
