May 2010 Writing SAT Thread

<p>^yea, i think i used the same logic too</p>

<p>regina: I do not remember “misspoke”. maybe experimental?
are you sure about the “I” versus “me”?</p>

<p>No one else remembers. I guess it must have been experimental, or else that answer was incorrect and that’s why no one remembers.</p>

<p>And yes, I’m sure - it was also discussed earlier in the thread. If it were me, you would have to read it like “No one was happier than me was.”</p>

<p>It was definitely I over me- none of the other choices even worked
did anyone mark “we would have ate” wrong. is it would have eaten? that was for the question about missing breakfast because they had to rush to the airport.
also, in section 10 there was a question about publicity that was a neither…nor question but none of the answer choices had nor. does anyone remember this one?</p>

<p>For the question “No one was more happy that I…” was ‘more happy’ underlined as a possible error? I can’t seem to recall that.</p>

<p>thanks guys. “me” was wrong then. too bad</p>

<p>it wouldn’t matter. “no one” treats each individual separately, so in effect, it says, he was not more happy, no one was more happy</p>

<p>sorry, just to clarify, what was the error in the happy question? was it more happy vs. happier?</p>

<p>Why do you all say there was only one NE? I remember another one with readers of washington post ?</p>

<p>did you have an experimental CR?
i don’t think i had a question about readers of washington post.
the only NE i can remember is the one about the Red Cross.</p>

<p>@mentos, no that question was right. we were debating over whether it could possibly be wrong.</p>

<p>so, it had No Error?</p>

<p>maybe the washington post was experimental.
how about the kinks in the cats tails ? was it each of the cats has a kink in its tail?</p>

<p>@yellowroses, same here.</p>

<p>@ luceverita, yeah, that’s right. </p>

<p>@yellowroses, I believe the washington post question was experimental.</p>

<p>@mentos yes.</p>

<p>when is the essay embargo lifted?</p>

<p>Why is there a specific emabargo for the essay ?</p>

<p>OK just got back home… (took test this morn)
my experimental was writing, since I had 2 of those 35 question sections…
Would you like to tell me which one of them was the fake??? I remember one of them having those questions at the end about a passage about a kid who’s mother and father worked as farmers or something…
was that the one??</p>

<p>@itry</p>

<p>yes, the one that you mentioned is the experimental</p>
