SAT January 2012 - Writing

<p>Was there a ID error question like Among Mrs. Wolloch’s lifelong interests were music? and then were was the error?</p>

<p>@Almost: That might have been from the other experimental, as I had two and do not recall that question.</p>

<p>Probably cause I did have two writing sections.</p>

<p>I REALLY hope -1MC and 10ish essay is still an 800.</p>

<p>My essay was average, but I filled the space (not an inch of space left) and used some “big” words.</p>

<p>Speed of sound I put “no error”, because it didn’t seem redundant. From what I remember, anything different and the comparison would’ve simply been incorrect.
It was definitely a tricky question though, so I wouldn’t be shocked if I am wrong. But I felt like I was pretty in-the-zone with the grammar this test. =P</p>

<p>@almost If you reverse the sentence it should be “Music [was] among Mrs. Wolloch’s lifelong interests, especially…” The error, therefore is the verb part. This section was probably the experimental one. I had two 25-minute back to back writing sections.</p>

<p>Because sound travels faster <em>in a liquid than in a solid</em>, the speed of sound in water is greater than that of sound in air.</p>

<p>OR</p>

<p>Because sound travels faster <em>in a liquid than a solid</em> ???</p>

<p>I dont remember that one, but i remember a q that said every one of the men was suspected of being a spy. Was it was or were?</p>

<p>^^was, each is singular.</p>

<p>Each man in the room was accused of being a spy.</p>

<p>does anyone remember section 10, number 13 & 14? I only remember putting both A’s for them :confused: and how about the significant amounts? I put that that is wrong because you can’t measure amounts,?</p>

<p>^^^ that’s the walnut trees with aspirin one and I think that was NE</p>

<p>speed of sound! we have nearly the exact question,now we just have to find a past sat question that mirrors it!</p>

<p>I’m hoping for a lenient curve, I found this writing section to be rather hard.</p>

<p>Just recalled a question: It had something to do with “deep sea” extremes of pressure xxx and cold"
“extremes of cold” is OK, right?</p>

<p>yeah I put A for that basically no error.</p>

<p>Guys wh took the SAT several times or a lot of mock tests can you guys tell me the difficulty of the CR and writting out of scale 1~5.
I think CR was hard 4~5 and Writting was 1~2.
How do you think the curve for CR and Writting will be like.</p>

<p>Halfway between average and harsh, most likely. It was pretty easy compared to most practice tests… All the answer choices but 2 were in passive voice, and one of those 2 was just structurally wrong, so the answer was obvious.</p>

<p>However, I only got 2.5 paragraphs of my essay done, so even though it was well-written, I think this will kill me. I also started running out of time on one section, so I think I was more eager to check No Error than I should’ve been…</p>

<p>Thank God I had 4 math sections cuz I finish math like in 5~10 mins so I went back to the reading frequently but Im not even confident breaking 600 lmao.</p>

<p>Can anyone make a thread? Ive made one for CR. Where did all those good thread makers disappear. After the PSAT I remember threads on all three subjects coming up rly fast.</p>

<p>So, have we agreed on 4 No Errors? or…</p>
