March SAT Writing Thread

<p>Go Marchies!</p>

<p>Just wondering</p>

<p>how do the consolidated lists for March compare with the lists for other test dates? are all the lists usually this comprehensive?</p>

<p>For January we only had 2 Math missing and 3 CR although there was no Writing list at all.</p>

<p>Did we ever get resolution on the film professor question?</p>

<p>for the essay how much do they really care if you wrote (pretty well lets just say) but one the last line of the paper and essay you didnt finish ur sentence. ie- since balance is the key to… but i took up all the space i just ran out of time and want to make sure its no big deal- cause i shrugged it off haha.</p>

<p>Can someone tell me what the other answers were for the question where the correct one is “successful at”? I don’t recognize it.</p>

<p>Also was there a paragraph improvement question where it was something about which sentence would fit best and the answer was “Octopuses belong to the elite group of animals capable of observational learning” or something like that?</p>

<p>bump 10char</p>

<p>apparently no one cares about the writing section anymore.</p>

<p>haha I don’t care about any of this anymore. I just want my score, it doesn’t matter to me because I have 2 more years for this test.</p>

<p>

I think it’s more that no one remembers the March SAT questions in writing anymore. It has been a full week, and writing questions tend to be the hardest to remember as well.</p>

<p>i didnt take the march SAT but i can’t help but notice the thread starter</p>

<p>to catch his/her attention:</p>

<p>MABSJENBU: DIDNT YOU GET A 2400 ALREADY…</p>

<p>@antion</p>

<p>uhh </p>

<p>Where did u get that idea? lol</p>

<p>I wish I had a 2400. I haven’t even come close (highest is 2270)</p>

<p>haha</p>

<p>is it cause you see me on the SAT forum a lot after each test? This was my 4th SAT.</p>

<p>I remember you mass murdered my Dec 2009 hopes with that question like “whats the smallest value for 1/x -1/y, something to do with factoring (x^2 – y^2)”</p>

<p>and a writing question</p>

<p>but I do remember you felt confident that you got a 800 in M+W
did you?</p>

<p>and ur a junior right?</p>

<p>maybe I have confused you with another</p>

<p>I know there is ONE junior (not silverturtle) who got a 2400 on the Dec SATs</p>

<p>“whats the smallest value for 1/x -1/y, something to do with factoring (x^2 – y^2)”</p>

<p>haha dont remember that question but Im sorry if I did :)</p>

<p>Im pretty sure I didnt not feel confident about my math score in Dec (I knew I had 3 wrong from the consolidated list). I ended up with 750 I believe.</p>

<p>For writing, yes, I was confident I got 800. I knew I missed 0 m/c and I didnt (80 mc with 10 essay). So I got an 800 in Writing. </p>

<p>This time, however, I missed the very last writing question (section 10 #14) because I was between C and E and realized I had no C’s for the entire section. I panicked and I chose C :frowning:
So Im looking at 770ish for writing this time.</p>

<p>From the consolidated list, I think I missed 0 in math but it wouldnt surprise me if I had made a few idiotic mistakes. </p>

<p>oh, and yes Im a junior</p>

<p>^
4 SATs and 5 ACTs by the middle of junior year!!!
Wow, that is remarkable. You must have started taking these like freshman year. That level of familiarity would be so good though.</p>

<p>That’s really quite imprudent. It’s a huge waste of time & money — plus, colleges will seriously wonder at why you had to keep taking it.</p>

<p>Actually it’s 4 SATs and 6 ACTs. lol</p>

<p>I started as a sophomore and kameron, there’s something called Score Choice for the SAT. ACT score reports are sent individually (like by test date).</p>

<p>2 questions then</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Why keep going?</p></li>
<li><p>Why havent you been able to attain the score that you want?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>But if you’re retaking so many and aiming for a high score, you’re obviously going to apply to a good school. And in most cases, good schools do NOT accept score choice.</p>

<p>That’s almost $500 in test fees, not to mention over two days of straight testing (40 hours). Utterly ridiculous and pathetic. WHY don’t you just take practice tests instead of wasting your time & money taking tests without improvement?</p>

<p>Not to mention that top schools don’t accept score choice.</p>
