<p>^^ Yes, section 2 was the experimental one. I had writing experimental, too.</p>
<p>You guys, I’m usually not the confident type, but of one thing I am certain-it is NOT “useful but not essential.” With the cr section people tend to make assumptions, and this is one of those situations. Was there any evidence in passage one to support this? No. The awkward thing is that no one put my answer (that having outside experience would make it more helpful) but hey, that’s life. But I am certain the consensus is wrong.</p>
<p>@Shadow Thanks, I feel a lot better now. Also, does anyone know the Roman numeral math question that relates to the I, II, III answer a couple pages back? I don’t remember a question like that.</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I500 using CC</p>
<p>@Kiwi The reason why they say it is that answer is because, if I remember correctly, both authors concede the fact that creative writing programs exist and fulfill their role of guiding people. However, both authors then go on to say that practicing on your own and utilizing old books and what is a superior way to learn writing. Therefore, they say that it is helpful, but not essential.</p>

<p>What the heck… I had writing experimental but mine were sections 3 and 4…</p>
<p>And @kiwi
No one put your answer because it isn’t right, sorry. See, with the SAT, there’s not going to be an answer where the majority of people get it wrong. If it ever happens, it’s extremely rare. CC is full of very smart people. I myself got “useful, but not essential” as the answer and checked the answer twice - I had 10 minutes remaining after every CR section. I took my time to find the evidence, and I did. Although I can’t tell you what exactly I found, I can confidently tell you that the answer is useful but not essential.
I do remember though that both passages talked about how writing classes weren’t necessary to become a great writer. The answer choice is not too extreme or specific, it’s reasonable.
However, we’ll see when the scores come out.</p>
<p>The roman numeral question had a graph of a function increasing and then decreasing.
The options were like
I. F(4) > F(2)
II. F(6) > F(5)
III. F(7) > F(9)</p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
<p>This is going to be a bloodbath come results day when so many people are proven wrong. I look forward to it.</p>
<p>Hey! Sorry to incite the fray again, just wondering if anybody knows exactly what the experimental section was for math, because I’ve read about a grid-in experimental and also a multiple choice experimental…were there multiple math experimentals? And did anybody without an experimental math section get the question about reflecting across y = x? I got that one wrong and I’m hoping it was on an experimental section (though it probably wasn’t)…or did anybody see it on an experimental section? Hoping the curve is more lenient this time…</p>
<p>Roman numeral question: all three are right.</p>
<p>Lolz well I guess we’ll see the answer soon enough, but you guys are probably right. If I got -2 for cr what would you estimate that to be? I know last october was -1 800.</p>
<p>damn it. I had writing section 2 and 5(or 6). I thought the experimental one was the section 5 and did it cursorily. :((((( Oh oh all my effort now is gone in vain…</p>
<p>I know we’ve already covered this question ad nauseam, but can someone explain to me why the answer was “writing classes are useful but not necessary” considering that passage 1 didn’t mention anything about writing classes helping and that both did in fact touch on the helpfulness of peers?</p>
<p>Kenny I’m totally with you-there was no evidence in passage 1. But the college confidential geniuses disagree with us, so I guess we’ll see.</p>
<p>^
Both passages talked about how experience and practice help more than classes. They talk about peers but they state that experience is key to creative writing. The author of passage 2 said that that was what made him a good writer.</p>
<p>So, was there anything in passage 1 that alluded to the author believing that classes were indeed useful? I’m not 100% sure now but I believe that there was not; what he did say, however, was that the input of those passionate around you can help, which passage 2 said as well. I feel like that question was to trick those who wrongly assumed something that wasn’t directly supported in the text</p>
<p>^
the only way to figure this out now is the find the passages somewhere online.</p>
<p>What do u guys think the math curve will be ?</p>
<p>Hey guys! Know any more answers? Please help add to this list! It would be a lot easier for people to check whether they got the correct answers. Btw, if you are not certain that your answers are correct, please put a question mark next to them so that others can check them out and maybe confirm them. Thank you so much in advance!</p>
