제목 [Kevyn Lee] SAT Reading Practice Test Series 2
Reading Test 5 6
작성자 you*** 등록일 2020-12-31 오후 9:52:22

Hi, 


I have a question on Reading Series 2, Practice test 5, passage 2, questions number 19 and 20. 

They are questions that associate the graph and the passage. 


I chose Subject 1 because I thought of it backwards, like academic success leads to self esteem. 

I thought of it that way because Baumeister's argument was that academic success leads to self esteem rather than self esteem leading to academic success. 

However, in your lecture video, you explained it the opposite way, which also makes sense because subject three would refute the self esteem movement and support his argument. 


Am I misunderstanding anything? 

After watching your video and thinking of it on my own, I still don't completely understand this question. 


Thank you, and happy new year.

Hello there~ Happy new year to you too ^^

 

It seems like you understood everything pretty well EXCEPT for the fact that you are not reading the graph as intended to.

(and this happens because students tend to look at it subjectively)

 

If you look at subject 1 of the graph,

you can see that self-esteem is well below academic success.

(I know that right now to you, it seems that self-esteem and academic success are close to being equal, but that is not what the graph "intends to" show. Just compare subject 1 to subject 2,4,5 and you can see the difference)

 

So Baumeister's argument that academic success leads to self-esteem IS NOT well reflected through subject 1.
