Yep, you’re right I just did a quick google search for a distinct term i.e. <a href=“yolanda site:talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation[/url] - Google Search”>yolanda site:talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-subject-tests-preparation - Google Search;
<p>Easiest - music.
Most difficult - stupid poem about staying inside and hands and O, how I hate poetry.</p>
<p>Thought it was easier than I expected. Not expecting 750+ by any shot, but I’ll be crushed if I score lower than a 700.</p>
<p>I can’t find any raw score conversion chart that would give me an idea of the curve. Do any of you know how generous/harsh the curve is usually? Like what scores would be needed for an 800-780-750?</p>
<p><a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools;
<p>if that helps…</p>
<p>My collegeboard practice book says:</p>
<p>59 - 800
58 - 790
57 - 790
56 - 780
55 - 770
54 - 760
53 - 750
52 - 750
51 - 740
50 - 730
49 - 720
48 - 710
47 - 710
48 - 700</p>
<p>what about the question for the snow passage about the farmer? it was something like what thought of the snow</p>
<p>He saw the snow as an impediment to work…because it filled up his land from ‘wall to wall’, or something like that</p>
<p>^I HATED that passage!!</p>
<p>@zombie ya the poetry questions are 100x more difficult than the prose
^tried to separate her two lives (aka her lover and her mother)</p>
<p>was the storm hostile/??? or powerful/irresistible. i believe i marked powereful and irresistible, but the way they said “after the first stanza” through me off as the “architecture” of the storm was not yet mentioned.</p>
<p>exuberant acceptance is what I put</p>
<p>I am pretty sure these are correct, as most people in this and previous threads that got some of our questions on their SAT IIs in 2010 and 2009 agree.</p>
<p>deceitful
malapropism
reader and narrator find it funny
pike is not Joseph
arousal/love
writer’s sympathies
insulted and mocked
epic simile
lose some qualities, gain others
tough and calloused (narrator’s opinion or something)
gain some insight
man exasperated with her family (this was the exception, he was NOT exasperated)
Yolanda ceased to write so she quit
restricts mother’s role
mother’s advice is simplistic and unhelpful
Yolanda wants to keep her two lives separate
theme: finding identity
Yolanda’s mother doesn’t know her very well
communicative and uncommunicative (this I’m not 100% on…)
The farmer saw it as an impediment to his work
exuberant acceptance</p>
<p>Please add more to the list! It’d be great if we can get the other 40 questions.</p>
<p>I answered on my test that the mother was disappointed in her and wanted her to be a success, but most of the people on other threads thought it was that she didn’t know her daughter very well.</p>
<p>To be honest, I can kind of see how both would work.</p>
<p>im almost certain the question which asks about the woman in the first story is vanity, not greed. The two are close, but throughout the dialogue with the man she’s almost astonished that somebody would talk poorly of her.</p>
<p>also, i agree that numbers = rhythms</p>
<p>add comparing the artificer to military structures</p>
<p>What were all of the choices for that question? Greed, vanity, and ____?</p>
<p>And do you remember any more of the questions? Anything about the man listening to music or the snow storm?</p>
<p>im not sure about the other responses.</p>
<p>how about the one where it gives you the lines “visual…visual” and asks what it shows about the narrator? (this is in the music story)</p>
<p>I put unpolished for the harsh cadence
I said that numbers were people, but the actual word was a synonym for the people of the guy’s native tongue
I said that people criticized their work (lines 5-7), but the other choices were that they worked on the same lyrics, on the same type of poetry, and something else
What nature never gives the young…I can’t remember but I think I put something down about it being an observation so it was probably a synonym for observation</p>
<p>and aa79 i think i put everything you did for that passage.</p>
<p>I thought visual to visual was NOT to offer two meanings for the same word, but instead to…ugh, I can’t remember the answer choices. Darn it. Do you guys remember?</p>
<p>I got another. The comparisons of music to the different languages shows? </p>
<p>I put something like the technical nature of music notation.</p>
