SAT Critical Reading thread

<p>Are you sure there wasn’t another choice for the flower one? I can’t remember what I put–it might have been undistinguished–but that seems like a weird way to describe a flower, especially after calling its flowers “diminutive” and its roots “scraggly” or something.</p>

<p>Also, the “adroitness”/“residual” one. Why isn’t “dexterity” right? That doesn’t quite fit adroitness, and the whole point of the sentence was that there WAS residual effects?</p>

<p>the 2 answer choices that made any sense was “undistinguished” and “unsightly” 100 percent sure. i chose distinguish, but was close</p>

<p>why was the answer to the boy walking under the hole in the wall freedom and not creativity? what was the volatile one for biofuel? and any other questions from the biofuel/other cr sections? i need this to see if i need to cancel my scores!</p>

<p>wait what? Distinquish and undistinqushed were two seperate answer choices?</p>

<p>if you saw a flower with a straggly (bumpy, disordered, harsh, brittle) stem and tiny little faded purple flowers, would you consider that normal (undistinguished) or unsightly (not pretty to look at)? i would say unsightly</p>

<p>hey guys! did any of you get “portentous” for an answer for the fill in the blank vocab?</p>

<p>idk if it was experimental CR or on an actual CR…</p>

<p>The first paragraph in the barbara jordan was not for historical context, it was obviously to establish the author’s reputation as a diplomat. This was for the barbara jordan. Please correct the list.</p>

<p>@JHU Bound
Yes. This was the correct answer, but this section was experimental</p>

<p>[3att2</a> - Tinychat](<a href=“Live video chat rooms, simple and easy. - Tinychat”>Live video chat rooms, simple and easy. - Tinychat) If anyone wants to discuss answers.</p>

<p>@anon: definitely. Now that I remember unsightly, I know that’s what I put and it’s right. At least I have a chance at a 760+, as I haven’t found any passage-based reading wrong. What about “adroitness/residual?”</p>

<p>Could anyone confirm the answer to the question about the importance of teh first paragraph in the jordan passage. THANK YOu!! Is it historical context or to establish credentials as a diplomat before talking about Jordan?</p>

<p>i think i put historical context… althought i dont remember what the first paragraph even said…</p>

<p>Thanks anonymous. Does anyone still think that -4 or -5 might be about 750? Is there any chance considering the difficulty level of this Critical reading.</p>

<p>can anyone chance this? (no omits):
-0 Math
-1 Writing, did great on the essay
-7 CR</p>

<p>A solid 2300 Moneopo! Have any ideas about the CR curve?</p>

<p>^ 800M, 800W, around 700 or 710 CR? (if curve is decent)</p>

<p>edit: actually might be 720 b/c it seems like a lot of questions were quite debatable.</p>

<p>Anyone have ideas about this score? (BE HONEST)</p>

<p>Math: -2 or -3 (plz don’t laugh o.o’)</p>

<p>Writing:-2 or -3, essay score is 10 or 11</p>

<p>Reading: -3 or -4</p>

<p>Does anyone have exact questions and choices for the ink passage?</p>

<p>Does anyone have questions and choices for the ink questions. Also what was the purpose of the boy not having great memory of events?</p>

<p>Sorry bout multiple posts. App isn’t working. Also did anyone get a SC with conducive as an option? Something about harmony</p>

<p>bump…I think I’m gonna cancel this one.</p>
