Writing Section - 2009 March SATs

<p>for the “cats do not rent, they own” question, im pretty sure its a metaphor. cats cannot rent anything, so i think its comparing a cat to a human being??</p>

<p>had been correctly refered back to no time</p>

<p>so E no error</p>

<p>If I missed 4 Writing MC and get an 8 on the essay, what do you think my score will be for the March SAT?</p>

<p>Maybe 680.</p>

<p>Regarding the “fairly acquainted” one, could the “I thought that” be an error? I said E on that question, but I’m having second thoughts. Is it incorrect to say “I thought that” (in which case the correction would be simply “I thought ____”) or is it ok?</p>

<p>No, “that” can often be inserted or left out of sentences and still be OK. That one was E I think.</p>

<p>Was there more than one NON-experimental writing section?</p>

<p>There are always 3 non-experimental writing sections: the essay, a 25 minute, and a 10 minute.</p>

<p>I meant, was there more than one VERSION of the 25-minute writing section with different question sets?</p>

<p>confirmation for the professor question
the question was something like
how the students didnt have time during class to ask the questions
so they gathered around the professor after class.
did anybody find “D” wrong?</p>

<p>If I recall correctly, I said ‘no error’ for that one, but I’m not totally certain.</p>

<p>I said no error, but I wasn’t sure about the “for which”. I think it said: The children gathered around the professor after calss to ask questions for which there had been no time during the class period. Or something like that. It sounded weird, but I don’t think anything was wrong.</p>

<p>i got 3 e’s the only one im not sure about is the desert environment/ i dont remember the exact question bu the part i know for sure is : </p>

<p>desert is BLAH…make it, to some, a strangely BLAH…the reason i didnt put e is that when it says make it…i thought for some would be better. I dont know if it would be an idiom error or something that is just a matter of opinion.</p>

<p>strangely beutiful was used correctly so desert problem had no error</p>

<p>Hey</p>

<p>the question that was like blahblah…we will be surprised if her or one of her colleagues receives the award.</p>

<p>Is receives incorrect? or is colleague incorrect?</p>

<p>“Her” is incorrect, isn’t it? Shouldn’t it be “she”?
I don’t think I had that question though.</p>

<p>i have a really pressing question!!!
i think i may have messed up my essay<br>
i interpretted the word “ethical” as “humanistic”
i think it was just the pressure of the moment, i mean its not that far off
but what kind of grade do you think i will get?
for example, one of my body paragraph discussed how oprah winfrey is very successful and she is very moral and donates a lot of money
it was well written, but not exactly on topic
am i going to get a zero?!?!!?</p>

<p>

that doesn’t even make sense.</p>

<p>is everyone sure about the professor and students asking questions? because there is definitely something grammatically wrong with “for which”</p>

<p>Where it said “for which there had been no time in class” or something like that? I think that sounds correct. (i.e. “and to the republic for which it stands”)</p>
