<p>anyone have a curve prediction? was verbal considered difficult this month?</p>
<p>Umm, 800,800, 790, 780, 760, 750, etc.</p>
<p>It was moderate compared to the other 2 verbals Ihave taken.</p>
<p>I don't think the verbal curves are ever that harsh. The harshest I've seen was -2 is still 800</p>
<p>Well, it was a guess anywho :)</p>
<p>What was the answer to mollify:pacify
I Thought it was suggest:insist
The words on the right are stronger versions of the words on the left
Exacerbate:Frustrate is the opposite</p>
<p>I believe it was exasperate, not exacerbate. I thought it was exacerbate too until I read it closely. Exasperate and frustrate are synonyms like mollify and pacify.</p>
<p>Yeah, that was a bad question. Just like the editor:manuscript analogy. There were at least 2 answers that could have worked for each one, but there was only one that would get you points. Grr!</p>
<p>for the passage about the korean girl and her family legacy, how did her feelings change?</p>
<p>every here said indifference to fascination, but i put skepticism to fanaticism. i know it's highly likely i got this one wrong, but didn't she start touring around the country giving speaches to girls encouraging them to accept their heritage. isn't that pretty much fanaticism? anyone?</p>
<p>Well, at first she didn't really know about her country. She didn't know about her ansestors or her country. When she arrived there she became facinated about the ventures of her grandmother and such.</p>
<p>Haha. i was looking through an old test from May 2004 and found an analogy similar to the platitude::originality one.
MAXIM:WORDINESS
(A) stereotype:prejudice
(B) cliche::originality
(C) hypothesis:experiment
(D) illusion:allure
(E) fallacy:appearance</p>
<p>omg
what was the answer to that one.......
i put platitude to originality equals fallacy vs. appearance</p>
<p>stupid smileys</p>
<p>she said her family's experiences were no longer "dead weight"</p>
<p>then she clearly went about interested in listening to her relatives.</p>
<p>do verbal curves make a difference for ppl who score in 600s?</p>
<p>maxim:verbosity i think</p>
<p>oh man.....ive got soo many WRONG</p>
<p>what do you mean vitamin?</p>
<p>i mean that curves are only harsh for ppl who generally do well (700+). isnt it?</p>
<p>so 15 wrong on a hard test and 15 wrong on an easy test will turn out to be the same or within 10 pts of each other.</p>
<p>Yeah, the curve is tighter for people in the 700+ range, but that's because only the top 5% get a 700 or better. A 15 wrong on a hard test will have a higher scaled score than a 15 wrong on an easier test. A harder test means that more people got 15 wrong than on an easier test. Since a 600 can only be acheived by 21% of the people testing, they need to adjust the scale so that only 21% get a 600. Does this make sense? It's confusing how they do it.</p>
<p>ah thank you</p>
<p>if you have access to the percentage of each score, could you post them?</p>
<p>right now i feel so screwed. if only i had thought more clearly, I would have gotten 4 more easy problems right.</p>
<p>650 would be achieved by around 10% of the people I guess?</p>
<p>They won't post the actual scaled score chart until after they determine the raw scores and their percentages though.</p>
