<p>whats the general consensus on how harsh the curve will be? It seems like there is still a lot of debate on answers, and a lot of them seemed to be relatively ambiguous. Im hoping ~56+ raw score, ideally 58+, and hoping for 690-700ish. I thought the CR was rather hard.</p>
<p>For the juxtapostition one i put semblance because the person was making a SCULPTURE… So i thoght the appearance of all the differnet materials made an “unexpected result” or whatever… Anyone think so??? I understand why juxtaposition would work but…</p>
<p>Hey guys, I think it would be helpful to put up any of the passages we can find.</p>
<p>I found the Barbara Jordan one: [Barbara</a> Jordan: American hero - Mary Beth Rogers - Google Books](<a href=“Barbara Jordan: American Hero - Mary Beth Rogers - Google Books”>Barbara Jordan: American Hero - Mary Beth Rogers - Google Books)</p>
<p>Also I just wanted to clear something up.</p>
<p>The question was asking for the definition of “form” in context - and is currently under debate between aspect and type. Form was not one of the choices.</p>
<p>What passage was the ‘form’ question in? I remember answering it as type.</p>
<p>Thanks for the link btw, it can finally help settle debates. </p>
<p>For the ‘gain’ question I think it is secure. If you read the previous sentence it says “…to retain public admiration, and acclaim almost 20 years after she left the national arena”. Then in the sentence that has the word it says “…as an American Moral Hero at the end of the twentieth century…”. So in the previous sentence it already said that she had public admiration and acclaim from the time she was in congress, 1970s, and from there on. Then in the sentence with gain, its referring to how she kept it at the END of the twentieth century, around the time that she died. So I doubt it is saying she ‘won over’ the status at the end of the 20th century, considering the fact that she had it from the time she was in Congress.</p>
<p>got the same for all of them except for the frost one and the schools… i think i put “exacerbated…(something that i forgot)” for the frost one and something with usurped for the school one.</p>
<p>sorry but i dont think so… juxtaposition is interchangeable with putting together something, which is what the artist was doing. semblance just means outer appearance. i think. im not sure what the exact question was.</p>
<p>i love you… i got all of that. and i put exacerbate…accelerate because in context with the sentence, it meant that the buildup of waste or whatever got worse because the releasing of the waste quickened… makes sense?</p>
<p>what did you guys get for “poetic rift” in the Barbara Jordan section?</p>
<p>I got something like it made them(the audience) feel a certain way or something of that nature</p>
<p>@arc</p>
<p>Yeah the poet was saying how she had this poetic “rift.” Then in the next couple of sentences the passage was talking about how the people were being captivated by her powerful style of speaking or writing.</p>
<p>They seriously pick the most random as$ passages</p>
<p>Was this passage 1 biofuel?
[Biofuels:</a> Great green hope? - OECD Observer](<a href=“http://www.oecdobserver.org/news/fullstory.php/aid/3216/Biofuels:_Great_green_hope_.html]Biofuels:”>http://www.oecdobserver.org/news/fullstory.php/aid/3216/Biofuels:_Great_green_hope_.html)</p>
<p>the 1st paragraph is the same but it looks like CB heavily edited the rest.</p>
<p>yeah that was passage1 . i remember the intro</p>
<p>anyone remember the context sentence for the “type” question? that would really help clear up the “form” vs “aspect”</p>
<p>@Sat100</p>
<p>Yup that was the passage word for word for word. This just proves it helps to read alot of news articles which im gonna do before the Jan test. </p>
<p>Also read really random fiction. Probably the best and most garunateed way to do it.</p>
<p>I don’t think that passage was word for word, xD</p>
<p>remember one of the questions asked about “skittish” that article doesn’t have skittish on there, neither does it have the word “proponent” which was another question it asked how of how would the author of passage 2 respond to those proponents mentioned in passage 1</p>
<p>But SAT100 might be right about CB heavily editing the article, so it might be that article xD</p>
<p>@eagles
Really could’ve swore the real passage was different. I thought it was an edited version of the article I posted.</p>
<p>Edit: Ops too late.</p>
<p>Yea agree with above, looks like they take articles, heavily edit them, and then use them. I don’t remember passage 1 using money figures, just percentages.</p>
<p>does anyone remember any questions from that passage? i feel like i got most of those wrong -.- </p>
<p>for example, what was the point of him asking that question about whether he had met his friend in school?</p>
<p>^that is another passage, I’ll try to find it. I think it was from a book, but I can’t be sure.</p>
<p>WHAT DO YOU THINK THE CRITICAL READING CURVE WILL BE? Worst case scenario I get 6 wrong. What score do you think I would get?</p>
