<p>@Woandering Fair enough.
In my view, there are only two controversial questions that we’ve discussed: one in reading, one in writing. I think we’ve come to a general consensus on everything else. Hopefully we didn’t overlook any other tough problems, but at this point I think it’s kind of pointless to try to look back and remember other stuff now.</p>
<p>Hopefully the effort we’ve put in this thread will reflect on our scores! Not that they’re related in any way.</p>
<p>@fireonice
Haha, I spend enough effort and time on CC to “warrant” automatic admits to Harvard and Stanford.</p>
<p>@Woandering I feel ya. Although I believe standardized testing is much less important than made out to be, there is a certain pleasure striving for that higher score and attempting to equate it with getting into the college you want.</p>
<p>On another note…was there ever a consensus on what the November 2013 curve was that might be very similar to ours?</p>
<p>I thought that, since they were cooking new foods in a familiar way, it was traditional. That’s debatable however.</p>
<p>@APScholar18 What the reading focussed on or whatever</p>
<p>Can someone give me some other answer choices to the Chastened and Contrite question?</p>
<p>I know these questions come across as easy, but I just wanted to clarify two q’s on the writing. The first one was something like “Viewing it something something” and one of the answer choices was “Viewed at”, was that the correct answer? Because there was no subject doing the “Viewing?” also, the question (immediately?) after that one had “That something something”, was the answer choice A, as in the sentence was correct the first time because That = The fact that? This was like #12 or #11… I doubt that helps but I cant really remember the rest of the sentences. They are both right before the error ID section.</p>
<p>The question was.
If the ratio from r:s is 7:6, and the ratio from s:t is 3:2. What is the ratio from r:t?
Answer was 7:4.</p>
<p>@jyj7000 Yes I got “Viewed at” and “That something” and I verified that in Erica Metzler’s book.</p>
<p>The only grammar section I found hard was actually improving paragraphs. Which sentence did you choose to add?</p>
<p>does anyone remember the exact question for the Denied of question </p>
<p>Any of you Sunday test takers?</p>
<p>Is it what we are looking for? Couldn’t find more sencom answers</p>

<p>Does anyone remember a section on the writing, I believe the second to last question, about a plant and an exhibit. I am pretty sure that I put the right answer but the comma issue is tripling me up a little. I believe I put:
The exhibit displayed a plant that grows up to two feet tall, it is one of the … blah blah blah
The comma issue is annoying me but I’m pretty sure none of the others worked.
Thanks</p>
