<p>After taking the January 2006 Q&A, I didn’t miss any writing questions. However, I wasn’t sure about some of the questions and made educated guesses on those. Can anyone suggest a way to be confident about some of these oddly phrased sentences and know that they are right (or right), so I can nearly ensure -0 on the multiple choice? At this point, -1 is like a 78 MC subscore, which sucks for -1 and I would like to be confident of an 800.</p>
<p>If you were confident about your guesses, they wouldn’t be guesses.</p>
<p>Ah, know english??? Its impossible to ensure an 800. They can always ask one that you don’t know. (probably)</p>
<p>I’m not sure what lowfatsourcreme said, seeing as how I never suggested that I was confident about my guesses.</p>
<p>To fhqwlksfoijwe, would you say the same about math, because of trick questions or dumb mistakes? I know that you can virtually ensure 800 in math, I’m just wandering how to do that in writing. </p>
<p>So how about ensure at least -1 (leaving room for some stupid question or stupid error)?</p>
<p>Just make sure for the error identification that things match. Plural with plural, present tense with present tense, participial with participial, etc. I got 80’s in writing both times I took the PSAT, and a 79 mc subscore on the SAT.</p>
<p>um…get a 12 essay so you can get a 1 or 2 question leeway and still get 800</p>
<p>Yeah… the 12 essay is somewhat neccessary. Though, what I meant, orchdorkbando, was that there are some questions that are strangely phrased and sometimes they are fine and sometimes they aren’t. I want to be able to confidently say, that sentence is right (or the opposite).</p>
