SAT May 2012 Official Discussion

<p>My essay filled up all two pages and I ended up going onto the line UNDERNEATH the last line, but I didn’t write outside the box. I hope they don’t mind and accept it. But then again, I have very big handwriting. :D</p>

<p>holy crap. you guys write alot… ive gotten 10-12s based solely on content…</p>

<p>Mine was also two pages. There was so much possible evidence that I didn’t even have to think about the question. Started writing as soon as I finished reading the prompt</p>

<p>They dont count anything underneath the last line. I recommend 2 examples as opposed to 3 simply because using 3 examples limits development and word usage.</p>

<p>My predicted scores:
Math: 680-720
Reading: 700-740
Writing: 750+</p>

<p>Ya I think that’s what I should’ve done. My first two body paragraphs were solid but my last one didn’t really add anything significant to my argument and probably won’t help (or hurt) my score</p>

<p>did you get an answer? i’d like to know this too</p>

<p>19 More days!! Same day as my birthday, lol. Should be a good birthday (hopefully!) but this was my first time taking it.</p>

<p>Well, if the 3rd example gave a stale feeling to the reader, I can see it hurting your score. Hopefully, thats not the case!</p>

<p>Are you asking me?</p>

<p>i used one long example and had a strong analytical conclusion</p>

<p>the answer was zero…</p>

<p>Did anyone get acrimonious for a vocab answer?</p>

<p>@siddysidsid I don’t think it’ll hurt (i hope) but it’s just to say that the magic 5-paragraph rule doesn’t always need to be used if you can build a solid argument in 4</p>

<p>no i didnt get acrimonious alvin :open_mouth: do you remember that question?</p>

<p>i got something else but remember seeing acrimonious</p>

<p>@alvinwolf do you remember the question/other choices?</p>

<p>Also does anyone know if loquacious/ garrulous was right for one vocal answer?</p>

<p>I never saw acrimonious, so experimental cr maybe?</p>

<p>i’m hoping for
Math>760
Writing>740
Reading: don’t care, nailed it last time! >700 bare minimum though</p>

<p>alvin it was harsh/benevolent not miserly/acrimonious
and i put the loquacious one too but thats wrong</p>
