SAT January 2012 - Writing

<p>@hihellobye
I got however and establish in.</p>

<p>@Elikresses
I don’t think that was part of the experimental because I only had 1 25 minute writing section (excluding essay).</p>

<p>was it definitely not “in the era before” instead of “in an era before”</p>

<p>Did anyone put many not found for the question about the amazon and the many animals?</p>

<p>Speed of sound: since sound waves travel faster in air than they do in water, the speed of sound in air is faster than that in water</p>

<p>Something like that I put no error</p>

<p>Speed of sound: I think there was a parallelism issue with ‘than they do in water.’ It should read ‘Since sound waves travel faster in air than in water…’</p>

<p>not certain, though</p>

<p>@Cynosuree</p>

<p>Exactly what I did. I only hope we are right…</p>

<p>so should it be 4 no errors total</p>

<p>did anyone get number 23 about the volcanic erruptions? I was going back and forth between “still threatens” and “ocassionally”.</p>

<p>@da6462
I got no error for that one.</p>

<p>did u get delete from the passage for ancient greek.</p>

<p>yeahhhhhh desi.
what did you put for the next one? it was like confirm fossils or more fossils??</p>

<p>@desigirl23</p>

<p>Yeah I got delete</p>

<p>@da6462: No error, methinks. </p>

<p>I crammed a ton of pretentious SAT vocab into that essay. “Wont”, “apt”, “mendacity”, etc. Muahahaha. Unfortunately, it’s only three paragraphs total–on practice tests, I aim for four, but I took too long to settle on my examples. Hopefully I conveyed my ideas well enough in the little I did write. ?_?</p>

<p>anyone one else? I was thinking “still threatens” because the complex setence before it was talking about how the “volanic activity created the island”, so the volcanoe won’t be “still threatens” in the sense of tense, it will be just “threatens” because volcanic activity and volcanic erruptions are two seperate subjects. Maybe I over thought it -_-.</p>

<p>Was the one about the animal that produces the substance like Aspirin no error?
It seemed wrong.</p>

<p>@da6462</p>

<p>Yeah, you are just overthinking it. There is nothing wrong with “still”, which correctly does the adverb’s role of modifying “threatens”.</p>

<p>what about the “experience contributing” or something like that. I think it was something about an artist visiting impressionist paintings or something</p>

<p>Wasn’t there a tense shift in the volcano sentence?</p>

<p>^ yeah i also chose “still threatens” because the volcanic activty has been threatening since its creation. I don’t know, my brain hurts.</p>

<p>The volcano one was saying the island was created long ago, but still the volcano still threatens the island today. The tense shift is okay.</p>
