Writing Section - 2009 March SATs

<p>yeah, i put the you as well i believe</p>

<p>why did you put you? i just put can</p>

<p>did anyone else get an unusually large amount of no error’s?</p>

<p>Was section 7 with a paragraph about buying a car experimental?</p>

<p>My other one was section 3 about bird navigation.</p>

<p>i got a lot of no errors also soccerrrgal…i put no error for the desert may seem, TO SOME, blah blah…can someone confirm or explain this one?</p>

<p>socerrgal, I got the “appropriate” number of errors…approximately 1 out of 5…
and yeah with white flour versus whole wheat, it should have been “you” </p>

<p>and i agree with strat
no error for both desert and professor…</p>

<p>This wasn’t what the questions was, but it was along these lines:</p>

<p>By replacing white flour with whole grain, you could be more healthy</p>

<p>The first part “By replacing white flour with whole grain” was the modifier. It was modifying “you.” Anything else in the position of you would be incorrect.</p>

<p>BTW: Can someone remind me what the desert one was? I’m drawing a blank.</p>

<p>is it possible to get an 800 with 12 essay -2?</p>

<p>wharton, yes you definitely can!</p>

<p>@dagol: I remember the sentence more like…
If you replace white flour with whole grain, one could make it more healthful
or something lke that…where one half had “you” and the other half had “one”</p>

<p>bsd i dont remember ‘one’ and ‘you’ thats why i was stuck between ‘you’ and the one without ‘you’</p>

<p>The one about taste of oranges grown in western vs. Florida… what you all put</p>

<p>I had writing experimental, and one ended with migratory birds and the other with online + board gaming in college, so i guess the migratory birds one is the real deal!
my essay question was “Is it sometimes necessary for people to be impolite?” did anyone else have that? what were your examples? i talked about JFK during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Song of Solomon.</p>

<p>i put no error</p>

<p>it was like…the desert may seem, to some, barren, blah blah. was the “to some” part of the sentnce in between the commas incorrect? i put no error</p>

<p>@ Connor2010 - I remember this question, but not the answer lol, though I was sure I got it right. I think it compared the taste of Western oranges to CA oranges (or something like that) which is obviously wrong</p>

<p>baby, there was no error I could see in that question.</p>

<p>im pretty sure it compared correctly</p>

<p>ok…well i don’t remember the question very well, but i’m sure i got it right</p>

<p>could someone please clarify?
Are there multiple experimental sections for writing?</p>

<p>Because I had twp 35 writings, and one was migratory birds and had nothing about citrus fruits or gaming or used cars…</p>

<p>oranges one:</p>

<p>the prob was subj verb agreement. the TASTE is singular and it had something to do w/ the verb following it being plural</p>
