Today's SAT

<p>ditto to silvermoon</p>

<p>I think that was right myself.</p>

<p>Yeah me too :/ I thought all were bad choices...</p>

<p>I got creative powers too</p>

<p>And for the short passage about ancient lands or whatever with the broken shards of pottery, I put that the passage was "evocate"... but I was debating between that and scholarly.</p>

<p>You're right, it's definately 'evocative', because the author describes a lot of different aspects in intense detail; it's more creative than it is objective. Scholarly's almost right--but I think you hit the nail on the head with evocative a lot more.</p>

<p>i would have picked evocative even if there weren't answer choices....too much enigma for scholarly</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the sentence completion with the actor and how he irritated everyone?</p>

<p>I put the answer choice starting with "difuse" or something.</p>

<p>hi, today was my first time taking the SAT. Can you explain about why there is an experiment section? Also what do they do with the experiment section?</p>

<p>I remember that, but I can't remember my answer. I elimnated at least 3.</p>

<p>IMO, the hardest CR passage question was the one where they asked "What does the author use the example of scientists and philosophers for?" This was in the 'robot' passage. I narrowed it down to either 'to show public opinion can be circumvented' or 'to show that the public allows some things to act autonamously'. I picked the latter, as the passage mentioned nothing about how scientists/philosophers got around public opinion, it just described that the public didn't care about the individuality of their assertions.</p>

<p>An experimental section is one they use to experiment. It isn't scored.</p>

<p>Robot? Wasn't that in the artistic expression passage?</p>

<p>And I think I put that "to show public opinion can be circumvented" but I think you are right.</p>

<p>That was a hard passage. What the answer to the one that said how art and society were related? I think I put reciprocal.</p>

<p>i put "to show public opinion can be circumvented"</p>

<p>I said it was adversarial, because the public seemed to be against the scientists' individuality. If it was reciprocal, the scientists would have felt the same way about the public, which I doubt.</p>

<p>I thought that the circumvented thing was right because circumvent also means "to show or defeat" but I was extremely unsure.</p>

<p>Oh! I completely misunderstood that word. I was thinking about the math term 'reciprocal' which is the like 2 to 1/2... Oh well :/ I am definitely sure I got at least 2 wrong in verbal at this point.</p>

<p>has anyone ever gotten a 10+ on the essay without a conclusion?</p>

<p>i was mid-way in my conclusion....."please close your books"..... i hope i get a 10 or so</p>

<p>I think that artistic expression passage will kill my score :/</p>

<p>Circumvent as it pertains to defeat is a bit too literal for something like public opinion, it would apply to things like military. Circumvent as in 'evade' might be more feasible, so I'm unsure.</p>

<p>i put it was the westerners view of lobola</p>
