<p>do we have “the boyfriend’s response of ‘Really?’ can be interpreted in all of the following ways EXCEPT”</p>
<p>I pretty much agree with everything, but numbers were the people of the dead poet’s country and vision to vision…I just, I think it was a different answer I just can’t remember what the answer I got was.</p>
<p>Other than that, great list :)</p>
<p>Ooooh, you’re right! The author was talking about his view of music through vision…vision.</p>
<p>Because it asked for the main idea, I didn’t think that wordplay with vision and vision would be the answer. By the way, I actually really enjoyed that poem about music and the last line about his daughter not asking for a snack, as if the lesson had been the meal.</p>
<p>It was nice.</p>
<p>I got a 2210 on my first SAT round, aa79518. What’d you get?</p>
<p>i didnt pick “to articulate…”. I narrowed it down to that and the one I actually chose which I forget. I’m pretty sure the one I chose was a better answer than the articulate. You might be getting some of the words wrong in that choice.</p>
<p>And I haven’t taken the SAT yet but I got a 71 on the CR on PSAT as a soph</p>
<p>Oh, sorry, you asked for Critical Reading haha. I got a 720, which I have to bring up in October.</p>
<p>Congratulations on your CR score, treeleaf!</p>
<p>1) I did not put any of those three options down. I put down that they were both critiqued for their work. (I could be wrong…)</p>
<p>2) I put close observation to fanciful interpretation. I really don’t think that the first stanza was about darkness so much as it was describing the oncoming of the snow.</p>
<p>@Galinda, thank you! now if only i can get my math anywhere near that haha</p>
<p>@aa79 i think i said both wrote lyric verses for the first one</p>
<p>the second i can’t remember! that was definitely one i was stuck on and I may have changed answers at the last minute.</p>

close observation to fanciful interpretation
as if it has not been here</p>
<p>We pretty much have 46 out of 61.</p>
<p>Just 15 more!</p>
<p>yea im not so sure about the wind not being malevolent. It says in the poem it is savage, and it wreaks havoc on the farmer. idk</p>
<p>it doesn’t explicitly say it, but “Fills up the farmer’s lane from wall to wall,
Maugre the farmer’s sighs; and at the gate,
A tapering turret overtops the work” implies it.</p>
<p>i bet if we sort them by story it will help us think of the others</p>
<p>I put “strong” for what the wind isn’t, instead of “malevolent”… I spent a lot of time thinking over this question, probably too much, but where it says “fierce,” “savage,” “Mockingly,” “Maugre the farmer’s sighs,” etc., seems to imply malevolence. Meanwhile, I don’t really see anything indicating that it’s particularly strong.</p>
<p>I also said that the Mrs. Slipslop (or whatever her name was) passage was about vanity, not greed, because most of it focused on her being shocked that he would think badly of her.</p>
<p>Since you asked, I got 800 CR for May 2012, and 80 CR on the PSAT two years in a row (2010 and 2011.)</p>
<p>Umm, congrats? I don’t think you getting a better essay score than me has anything to do with the Lit subject test, though… And this thread isn’t for bragging about SAT scores. I just posted mine because you happened to ask.</p>
<p>But hey, I’m sure your parents are proud.</p>
<p>I think I remember one question that had to do with the contextual definition of white. However, it could be on your list already as I may have missed that question and therefore not recognize the answer choice.</p>
<p>That’s at least -3 for me so far. Also, I didn’t interpret the attitude of the dancer to be exuberant by any means. I marked indifference because I thought it was more like “let the world end, I will still do my thing regardless”</p>
<p>exuberant acceptance was just a better way of saying indifference given the story. She didn’t ignore the fact that the world was going to end, she embraced it.</p>
<p>Hi! Before I took the test I kind of assumed the number of questions was sixty every time, but now I’ve noticed that the number of questions is usually around sixty but changes each test. Does anyone know for sure how many questions were on this one (June 2012)? Some people seem to say 61 but some say 60. Thanks!</p>
