October 2010 Writing SAT thread

<p>Idk. It is logical to argue what you guys are arguing about.</p>

<p>a less than b = b more than a
why constrast?</p>

<p>OH ok i just realized what my rationale is. By comparison would be REDUNDANT and therefore AWKWARD. They were ALREADY comparing!! That’s why it sounded so wrong…</p>

<p>what does everyone think about the mammal question? that will be the difference for me b/t a 770 and 730. </p>

<p>The sentence originally said “the reason the mammal is well documented is its ability to…”
Right?</p>

<p>There was no error on mammal question.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the tornado question? resulting from or as a result (or whatever it was)</p>

<p>how is it no error?</p>

<p>can some1 seriously call Silverturtle down? SERIOUSLY???</p>

<p>i think he prefers not to get into the middle of this *****storm lol</p>

<p>^why not? He can probably crush anybody here. If anything, he can quell this storm.</p>

<p>This is what happens when all the smart seniors are done with their SAT’s.</p>

<p>^what did you put for the mammal question?</p>

<p>Ugh I wish you could combine your essay score from one with the writing mc score on other. I tanked writing this time but wrote a nice essay, last time I got a 650 with an 8 on the essay.</p>

<p>At first when I looked at the essay, I thought, HOW am I supposed to discuss this? I couldn’t think of literature or anything. So instead I used history & personal experience. My first paragraph discussed Diego Rivera, John Lennon, and the photographs from the Great Depression. My second paragraph was about passion for art in my life.</p>

<p>And I started the intro with a quote from Pablo Picasso - “art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Considering I have the worst memory imaginable, this was a miraculous moment for me.</p>

<p>Quote: Ugh I wish you could combine your essay score from one with the writing mc score on other. I tanked writing this time but wrote a nice essay, last time I got a 650 with an 8 on the essay. </p>

<p>Same! I got 100% on my multiple choice last time, but a 9 on the essay because I didn’t finish. If I had gotten a 10, which I did the previous time I took the SAT (and probably this time to), I would have an 800.</p>

<p>^what did you get for the mammal question? If you don’t know what question im referring to, look at post 664</p>

<p>^and did you put by comparision or indeed?</p>

<p>the reason i chose “its” for the mammal question was because i specifically remembered the reading the rule that it should be “the reason is THAT…” and not “the reason is BECAUSE.” although it didn’t pertain exactly to the specific question, i still think that “the reason is…” standing alone would not be grammatically correct. wouldn’t it have to be, “the reason is <em>that it has</em> the ability to…”?</p>

<p>agree/disagree?</p>

<p>^agreed…</p>

<p>I failed the essay… how can one write on the topic?</p>
