For the excessive hunting one, wouldn't it have to be parallel structure?

@CrzyGmer789X2

i'm pretty sure the other choices did not make any sense. they were really awkward, but i can see why it may be wrong....

scott523kim

wait. does anyone else remember the other answer choices for the cat one?

no_audio

^no, but they didn't make any sense.

@CrzyGmer789X2,

was "excessive hunting, destroying of habitat, and introducing of species" a choice?

I only had two writing sections, no experimental. For the identifying errors, I only got one NE. It mentioned something along the lines of, "what appears to be... if this is confirmed..." Can't remember what the animal was for the life of me, though.

And I changed two answers from NE because of the conditional tense. One was "If I would have known that the horse had never won a race, I would have never waited for three hours in the mud to see him." or something like that. I said "would have known" should've been something else, like "had known".

And the other one that I changed from NE was "My coach told [name] and me that we stand a good chance of qualifying for nationals if we train consistently in the summer." I said "stand" should be different, like "will stand" since the qualifying action has yet to be performed.

Now that I've written a book, opinions?

Toasti

Don't remember the first question, but I had the same thing as you did for the second two.

Just wondering minimeigh, did that writing section have questions involving jellyfish, forging documents, and a grocery store paragraph correction? Or do you have no idea what I'm talking about? :P

minimeigh

Yay, usually I change my answers to the wrong ones.
Haha, well the grocery store one was the only improving paragraph section I had. Jellyfish and forging documents are another story though, can't remember anything about that. Were they in sentences or paragraphs?

Toasti

Whew, that's tremendous relief to me, since I completely screwed up the other writing section, but now it turned out to be experimental.

writing was easy this time around

minimeigh

Haha yeah from what I've been reading it sounds like the experimental was significantly harder. I didn't find the real one to be too bad, but that doesn't mean I got them all right, unfortunately. The essay was weird, though, I had trouble thinking of historical/literary references for pop culture and ended up just talking about modern times.

Toasti

Yeah, the 35 question writing did seem significantly easier than the practices I took. I always fail at the essay though. I think I'll be happy with a 4 this time around.

checkmate7

yeah. i had writing experimental, i dont know, some of it was kinda weird but overall it was nicer than last time. im hoping for 680+
and yea the essay was difficult for me too! i wrote like, three long paragraphs T__T ugh its gonna be like an 8 or something. i referenced buffalo springfield and the great gatsby. whatever.

minimeigh

For a minute I thought you meant 4/12 but I see what you mean now, ha. I took my first SAT and first ACT one after another in June last year; got an 11 on the SAT and an 8 on the ACT, not sure what happened there.
