<p>This critical reading definitely seemed harder than the March critical reading. I’m hoping the curve will be easy, but you never know what the college board people will do</p>
<p>Sorry about going back to the coevolution question, but i think that “defining a term through an illustration” may be wrong, because the author’s purpose in the context of the passage is not to define what “coevolution” means, rather it is to build on a previous counterargument. the paragraph before the paragraph discussing coevolution talks about how the idea that bees are the “subjects” of nature may be wrong and that bees and plants play equal roles in their relationship. the paragraph discussing “coeveolution” gives an “ancient example” of this type of relationship</p>
<p>@sprinter246- I took the march SAT and feel that I scored a good 80 more points than before… so I am not sure. Vocab was a piece of cake (got one wrong) and there were a couple of the passage based readings that were quite difficult… but overall, I feel that it will be around the normal curve</p>
<p>dfghj this CR sucked. luckily I got a 760 in May.</p>
<p>well at this point I am totally confused about that coevolution question…</p>
<p>for the indian passage, did anyone put that the daughter has “no desire to learn to cook”? or was the answer “spends little time cooking”, the question referenced a line that went along the lines of “A culinary skill that I actually know how to do” when the daughter was trying to help the mother cook</p>
<p>National Enquirer one was that people found it distasteful and thus it wasn’t worth its salt. all 20 people I talked to after said so as well.</p>
<p>I chose little time cooking. Many others did too.</p>
<p>On the contrary, I put that it only appealed to a small group of people since the passage directly stated that.</p>
<p>i think the national enquirer answer was that the magazine is only read by a small group of ppl therefore being on the front page isn’t that big of a deal. Like I remember a year ago Obama was on the cover because his alleged homosexual relationhsip with one of his secret service…well, public parely catched upon this story, cuz really, only bored grandmas read it…and this is a real life example + there was something in the passage that gossips tend to stay within a close group so therefore it doesn’t really hurt you</p>
<p>little time cooking</p>
<p>did anyone get or hear about someone getting a critical reading passage about terraforming? im rlly hoping it was experimental as it was impossible, the bees, indian mother daughter, and censor were very easy sections but this terraforming was impossible, anyone aware whether this was experimental?</p>
<p>Useless thread? I got a 790 on the Literature Subject Test, if that counts for any credibility. </p>

<p>THINGS I PROBABLY GOT WRONG/AM NOT SURE ABOUT:
bee was an agent (plant passage)
applied situation to new context (no idea)
appeal to authority (plant passage)
it is easier to teach adults, not children or soemething like that (censorship: don’t even remember the context of this question).</p>
<p>What would -2, -3 be? So close. x.x</p>
<p>Wait. Out of the Indian Girl Passage, Censorship, and Oral Gossip/Gardening, which was the experimental?</p>
<p>Edit; just kidding. I can’t remember what my experimental section was. x.x</p>
<p>did anyone get or hear about someone getting a critical reading passage about terraforming? im rlly hoping it was experimental as it was impossible, the bees, indian mother daughter, and censor were very easy sections but this terraforming was impossible, anyone aware whether this was experimental?</p>
<p>zkaplove17 im pretty sure that was experimental because i didnt get that one</p>
<p>@noloserhere:</p>
<p>Can you or someone else please explain:</p>
<p>a plan previously espoused, sadness/melancholy, she felt partially responsible, and explain through illustration?</p>
<p>when we get our scores does everyone get scored on the same thing, to clarify, is it possible that say, the indian girl passage was experimental for me, but not you?</p>
<p>Disagree with heartfelt still, but I doubt either of us will change our mind. I approach those questions with the perspective that synonyms should be discounted for the most part, as the answer is usually only a partial synonym. Therefore, I felt like “actual” was the superior choice to “heartfelt” in the context of the passage.</p>
<p>Also will argue to the end that it was “extending a counter argument” rather than “explaining through illustration”.</p>
<p>Though I only scored a 750 on my Lit Subject Test, so take that for what you will.</p>
<p>Also, “impasse” is on your vocab list twice, and the other question about the guitar player was “passion at a young age” or something similar.</p>
<p>I put natural because it’s natural to protect your children from negative influences
Also, I put harsh but accurate for the censorship because in the last paragraph of passage 2 it described that “censorship is odious.”</p>
