<p>Well, six wrong (-6) gives you a 720 according to my March score report, so I'm not sure you can get an 800 with four wrong (-4).</p>
<p>I'm in the same boat, though. I think I've missed about four.</p>
<p>-3 is usually a 800 no?</p>
<p>So have we confirmed that the answer is charlatan?</p>
<p>we have, but who knows if it is or not. Collegeboard is weird, but it can't be oracle in my eyes</p>
<p>The author never explicitly denied the existence of oracles. He was skeptical, at worst.</p>
<p>His tone, was clearly calling them charlatans though. It's like me saying there are those people who claim they can fly like superman....what baffles me is why they spend money on airline tickets instead of flying across the country. It was sarcastic i think</p>
<p>Agreed....</p>
<p>2 wrong from the psychic passage, 1 wrong from sentence completion, skipped 1, possibly 2 ( I skipped and then went back, don't know if I actually answered).</p>
<p>So, at worst, so far, 62 raw score, at best, 63 raw score. Still some room to get that 700. However a 63 raw score is a 740/750.</p>
<p>the key to answering was the actual question: It explicitly asked for what the author implied("The author implies that the people referred to in line 1 are..."</p>
<p>Initially I chose "oracle" but after realizing it said "implies" I immediately switched to "charlatan"</p>
<p>i got this question wrong. i put down oracle... and JOE BLOGS GAH. It was like the first question in the critical reading section, wasn't it SUPPOSED to be obvious?</p>
<p>but it was obvious with his tone of voice that he was denouncing them</p>
<p>if you check out the bluebook practice tests, you'll see that a decent portion of the "hard" questions are associated with the short passages.</p>
<p>Can I get the multiple choices for the oracle/charlatan one?</p>
<p>darn collegeboard.</p>
