<p>No error. See post #1240: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/955109-silverturtles-guide-sat-admissions-success-83.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/955109-silverturtles-guide-sat-admissions-success-83.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>I have questions on the following:

  1. “Among my friends and I”
  2. The tornado question, about wind speeds and stuff.
  3. What was the context of the “indeed” and “by comparison”</p>
843

<p>silverturtle, in the other thread you said you think there is a second NE. Can you tell me which one that would be?</p>

844

<p>

</p>

<p>It should be “Among my friends and me” because both “my friends” and “me” are objects of the preposition “Among” and should, thus, be in the objective case (“I” is the subjective case).</p>

845

<p>

</p>

<p>I gather that there was an undisputed no-error question aside from the “reason”/“mammal” question, but I do not know what it is.</p>

846

<p>Err… you sure about that? I’ve been hearing for a while there was only 1 NE.</p>

847

<p>Thanks.
I received an 800W on my previous SAT test, so will a lower score my second time around affect me and/or how colleges see me as an applicant?</p>

848

<p>silve turtle , at which was underlined so is it supposed to be for which or is it correct as written “the price at which the advertisers sold (radios ?)”</p>

849

<p>Was the radio question improving sentence or identifying error? I feel like at which is right. You sell the radio at a high price, for example, not for a high price. Seems like one of those “idiomatic expressions”. But i’m wondering what the other answer choices were.</p>

850

<p>silverturtle is just so badass. I love this guy.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me the general curve -1, -2 raw w/ 12 essay?</p>

851

<p>I faintly remember the radio question in the spot-the-error section, but I didn’t choose “the price at which” for the answer</p>

852

<p>duckblase do you know if there was a more blatant error in the question?</p>

853

<p>i put no error for the radio question, but both forr which and at which make sense. but if at which is correct it does not matter if for which is coreect, because you have to spot an error not make it better</p>

854

<p>so is it confirmed that “people’s continuing (emphasizing on)” should be “emphasis on” ?</p>

<p>Silver?</p>

855

<p>emphasizing on is just awkward language. 90% sure it should be emphasis on.</p>

856

<p>

I seem to recall it might have been something like
The price at which the advertisers sold radios were …
And “were” was wrong. But then again I could be making something up completely</p>

857

<p>I believe that the radio question was NE, making two NE questions.</p>

858

<p>The general consensus that there was 1 NE is based on how many people?</p>

859

<p>duckblase YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT. Haha i remember now. It was a subject verb agreement.</p>

860

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes you’re making that up because “were” was never underlined and “at which” was choice D and choice E is obviously no error.</p>
