<p>Why couldn’t city vs country be joy vs sadness?</p>
<p>I put that Georgiana’s party was an opportunity to showcase their wealth. Did I overlook something?</p>
<p>the one i’m really not sure about was the thing about “dear man”-- whose perspective was it? i can’t remember if i put the suitor (wasn’t sure if this was referring to the poet or some other guy) or the girl herself
georgiana wouldn’t view her party as tedius but musically entertaining because it specifically said that the parents were going to hire some “automaton” as a musician
zestrokes-- i think the question was what georgiana would think of the party, not her parents, and i don’t really think she cared about showcasing her wealth to people she didn’t care about</p>

<p>Starts on the bottom left hand side of page 518 with “The Podsnaps lived in a…”</p>
<p>It wasn’t musically lively, because they specifically said an “automaton” from the music-shop. An automaton would be the opposite of lively - boring, dull and repetitive. So it wasn’t that option.</p>
<p>The party would be tedious because the girl didn’t have any real friends she could converse with and intimidating because she doesn’t socialize well, so any situation in which she would be the center of attention would be, in fact, intimidating.</p>
<p>Is anyone familiar with the curve on this (ridiculous) test? What is the maximum number of questions that one can miss and still receive an 800?</p>
<p>While I don’t think the curve is as generous as, say, the math 2, literature consistently receives the lowest mean score out of all of the subject tests (last year it was a 583). I know there’s a huge push on this forum for 750+ scores to gain admittance to the more prestigious universities, but a majority of the people I know who matriculated at Yale and Princeton scored just above a 700 on the literature test. Assuming you have other credentials that would make you “worthy” of attending one of these schools, as long as you break the 700 mark for literature, I would let it go.</p>
<p>“In the Indian passage, wasn’t the question about contraception “putting his relative’s concerns on a larger context” instead of national problems? The passage never mentioned a national problem, though I can see why people chose the answer.” -Boardingoaler</p>
<p>It is national problems because it talks about Indra Gandhi, the prime minister who advocated contraception policies to reduce the population. just placing the relative’s concerns on a larger context isnt as well supported in the passage.</p>
<p>The question about whose perspective “dear” was in had to be the young lady’s. Or that’s what I put, anyways. I’m torn between that and the “spark” or the writer?</p>
<p>I vaguely remember that question, but what passage was it a part of?</p>
<p>Which question? The one about “dear” was the city vs. country one, with the Lady Bloumont or however you spell her name.</p>
<p>I put the young lady because I thought they were describing her affection towards the man.</p>
<p>@pch340I thought it was her, too, until I realized she didn’t return his feelings of love (as explained by one of the questions). So I thought it was the spark (aka the author), but I could be wrong about that one.</p>
<p>@itsybitsy It had absolutely nothing to do with national problems in context. Or even if it did, certainly not enough for it to be the answer. Sometimes more than one answer is * technically* correct, but they are looking for the BEST answer. In this case, it would be probably be “putting the relatives’ concerns on a larger scale” (or whatever the hell it was) because, in context, it made the most sense as an answer to the exact question they were asking.</p>
<p>i put the young lady for the “dear” question, but i am getting more and more unsure of that answer by the moment.
reason why speaker uses country imagery: to prove how dull life is without him? or something else…?
for the last passage, charles’s conduct: false show of indifference? (or something like that…)
i hated the first passage and the city vs country one. and the books one.
actually i guess i hate all the passages equally, because they all took time to go through. x(</p>
<p>I think it was to prove how dull life would be without him. Thats what I put, at any rate.
ARGH in the city vs. country one were they both dismayed by their present situations?
Confusing thing >.<</p>
<p>i got a 790</p>
<p>i think i got 1-2 wrong</p>
<p>sigh.
750.
expected more.</p>
<p>800! i am so veryvery happy</p>
<p>got a 750! With no prep or lit class and two other 800’s for last month, I’m happy.</p>
<p>Bleh 750. Anyone with that score gonna retake? I personally don’t think I will be retaking, although I had hoped for something slightly higher…</p>
<p>… I hope you realize that a 750 is almost as hard to get on the lit test as an 800 on many of the other SAT II’s, or in some cases harder. Colleges understand that this is one of the hardest SAT II’s, and they get the percentile. 750 is 94th percentile</p>
