SAT January 2012 - Critical Reading

<p>Cyno, did you have a passage about a shy policeman, a well dressed female landlord, and her short landlord husband?..</p>

<p>I definitely did not have a passage about people with a house on an island. Unless you’re talking about one of those paragraph ones.</p>

<p>lol im confused as to which section each of these passages belonged to now</p>

<p>Yes. Those were the Alexander’s not Anderson’s. My experimental passage was about writing novels.</p>

<p>there was a big passage about people on an island and if you didnt have it was probabaly experimental then</p>

<p>what was the half a century one? im confused on that…for bioclocks.</p>

<p>can someone create a chatroom to join for discussion it is easier?</p>

<p>They conducted an experiment at one point, and then conducted it again a half century later. The question asked what was the significance.</p>

<p>do u remember the choices?</p>

<p>ok guys, could you please state which section you didn’t see:</p>

<p>Landlords + Shy Policeman, Nixon + Cold War, Photography, Traffic Lights</p>

<p>@ping andersons should be experimental. I didn’t have that</p>

<p>Non-experimental:
Biological clock
Blogs
Traffic engineering
Long dual-passage photography
The landlord/police officer/British author
Indian singer
Old village farming debate</p>

<p>If I didn’t list the passage, then its experimental. Thankfully I didn’t get a experimental CR this time. </p>

<p>Btw thanks drac, desigirl, duke (BlueDevils Ftw! If I get accepted that is :smiley: if not they suck!), and nygnal, I will be fixing/adding what you posted.</p>

<p>Also for the ambivalent vs. contented, the guy never once complained in the entire passage. He mentioned 2-3 times that he should be depressed since he didn’t have a job, and the landlord were annoying (though he didn’t mind), so I don’t see ambivalent being it. He was pretty contented with his life.</p>

<p>edit: @desigirl
It was on the biological clock, and it was a life reference question. It was like why did the author add lines ??-??.
the lines said 'the first experimentation was carried out in 1917, and another one followed in half-a-century.</p>

<p>i think its cold war…and sat100 do u have a longer list?</p>

<p>does any1 remember the sections each of the passages were in?
I remember that the first section was about the landlords and I believe that the photography passage came second, and i think the 20 minute section was on biological clocks right?</p>

<p>what do you think like -7 to -10 on critical reading would be.</p>

<p>Is the anderson section REALLY experimental? I’m 100% sure I got 3 MC writing sections, 2 of which had 35 questions each. So my experimental was the writing section?</p>

<p>ok so it seems the ben franklin and andersens island one was experimental</p>

<p>I think the order for me was like;</p>

<p>Indian Signer
Photography
Blog
Farmer
Landlord
Bio-Clock</p>

<p>I’m 100% sure Anderson was experimental. </p>

<p>Desi, hard to tell without the curve, but I would say you would be right around the 700 line. About 710-680 assuming you answered them incorrectly, and didn’t omit.</p>

<p>@ desi On the practice one, -8 would be 670. I think that’s what I got… too bad :frowning: Oh well, I think I aced the math + writing :P</p>

<p>@ SAT 100
But I got 3 writing MC sections. Was Anderson still experimental for me??? As I remember, Anderson = girl in graveyard? Or was that alexander???</p>
