The MSPE contains a narrative description of the applicant’s performance during medical school. But if he’s wrong and there ARE still harsh and honest critics out there and modern art is still bad well then they must not have the impact he thought they did.Background: The Medical Student Performance Evaluation (MSPE) is a primary source of information used by residency programs in their selection of trainees. He says because there is no harsh criticism out there artists are allowed to be bad and still get praise. He also believes that harsh and honest criticism is what helps create good art. If he was wrong about that then it probably means that harsh criticism doesn’t have the ability to create great art like he thought.īasically the author believes there is no good art right now. However, if there are critics out there who are still giving harsh reviews as well as positive ones that would mean that the author was wrong about every critic pandering and being overly polite. That would mean that the passage author still believes that todays art is not particularly good.

Whenever I see a question like this my approach is to assume that the change mentioned in the question is the ONLY change and everything else about the passage remains true (at least in the authors eyes). I went for D because my thought was that if critics are expressing strong opinions about both good and bad art, then the fact that critics are having an overwhelming positive reception of art right now indicates that the art is especially good right now, not necessarily that critics are being overly positive about art out of fear of being wrong. If, however, some critics have indeed always expressed strong opinions about what makes art both good and bad, and the artistic “recession” has nonetheless occurred (in the author’s view, in any case), then it is likely that the author is overestimating the impact of critics on the quality of artistic production. Much of the passage is devoted to the argument that it is the “timidity” of critics, their hesitance to take a strong aesthetic stand and to criticize as well as praise artists, that has contributed to the “depletion” of the quality of contemporary art: “But whatever the history of our artistic recession, its immediate cause is precisely the pervasive and unchecked reverence in which art is held by the critics” (paragraph 3). D.underestimated the merits of recent American art.C.overestimated the influence of criticism on artists.B.misunderstood the comments made in the Times reviews.A.correctly assessed the gullibility of the American public.This supposition implies that the passage author has probably: Suppose that some influential American critics have always expressed strong opinions about the characteristics of good art and of bad art. /r/GAMSAT - Australian & UK Medical school Admission Test.P/S = Psychological, Social, and Biological Foundations of Behavior (Tentative) AAMC Sample FL Score ConversionĬ/P = Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological SystemsĬARS = Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skillsī/B = Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems # Correct -> Scaled Score Converter for AAMC Material
