Coke is way better than Pepsi and calling coke beverages pop is weird.
I lived with someone from jersey who called pop soda. It was unbearable. It's pop. P-O-P
Oh zacbro, you are mistaken. It is called soda.

Can't tell you what other is though.

Any thoughts/takeaways on the comparative passages?

I was less clear about the 2nd comparative passage - does anyone remember the gist of it?

Other = soda pop, soft drink, fizzy drink, carbonated beverage, etc.

My wife is from Europe and calls it fizzy drinks. Didn't know any Americans did. Seriously though, its all coke.

Team soda. Although according to the map, I should apparently think it's all coke. I've yet to ever have a waiter ask me "what kind?" when I order Coke --they always take that to mean I actually want a Coke.

I call it pop and soda (from Detroit). I now live in Georgia (14 years now), though, and I have never heard it referred to generically as 'coke' in an actual setting. I've heard southerners say that everything is called coke, but never heard a waitress say it or anyone else in a restaurant/dining setting. I've been all over the South and never heard it anywhere else either.

Simple solution: call the beverage you want by its name.

I tanked on RC. Thankfully I finished but there were a few that I wasn't sure on.

Same with LR. Guessing the third section was experimental. Didn't have time to check ANY of my answers.

All in all, expecting a 176-177. Retake likely in the air but I am not going to cancel my score.

Since there were only 100 questions, the curve will probably be more vicious. 99-100 for a 180, and one point per question until the low 170s.
How do you know there were only 100 questions? One of my LR sections had 26 questions, was that the experimental one?
Pretty sure there's only 100. I had 27-25-25-23

i wished i looked at it the numbers of qs for my lr section before i turned it in. i remember looking at the rc and lg. i misbubbled couple times doing the 2 page bubble method.
