<p>Wow... the essay was nice...
the multiple choice section was mean.
I had like a few minutes do do like 20 questions... which really really really really really stunk.
Anyone have any ideas on the questions or the scale... or something about the test?</p>
<p>I agree. essay - nice; mc - mean, especially those questions where you had to choose the wrong part of the sentence :(</p>
<p>yeah... dang... how 'bout 'em mc's.
It took so long to find the errors for some reason.
HOw do you think you did... I think maybe 2 missed and 15 wrong or something lol.</p>
<p>for the essay I wrote something along the lines of "rulers should not look after their own selfish desires but the good of their subjects (the good of the people)"...
I had like one or two quotes. 2 supporting paragraphs contrasting Julius Caesar with Macbeth. Wit Caesar being the good ruler cuz he still went to the meeting where the assassins were hiding not heeding the warnings cuz it was a priority to him (the good of the people), and I managed to squeeze the famous line "cowards die many times...something something... the valiant...something something". It was still pretty much in context tho... so yeah... I think I got 160-200 on the essay.</p>
<p>bumpity bump</p>
<p>Is it okay if I wrote about dictators (Kim Jung-Il of North Korea) and Saddam Hussein and how their selfish needs are of less significance than those of the poor people in their countries?</p>
<p>Hmm, I'll post some of the questions I remember:</p>
<p>*Newspapers purport ____________ but no newspaper achieves it.
*Louis Armstrong was neither the inventor of jazz nor its first soloist blah blah.
*Novelist Margarnt O. succeeded to provide for her own and her brother's children.. blah blah. </p>
<p>Sentence improvement..
*"Morning was not my favorite time" or something
*For most Americans this was the best.. blah blah I put "time of the day"
*Add "Because" in the beginning of the sentence that talks about cooling of hot rocks
*something about "thinking about the day that just ended" - leave as it is?</p>
<p>what was the essay question? (wondering becasue I didn't take it)</p>
<p>The needs of an individual are not more important than the needs of a group, a community, or a nation. </p>
<p>not sure if it's verbatim but it's somewhere along those lines</p>

<p>why don't i recognize any of these? :(</p>
<p>What's the answer to the question with the extremely rarefied? the question was somewhere along the line of "gases are extremely rarefied at the height of more than 70 meters...." And the one with the "their effort made the Women's National Basketball Association a success in its first year."</p>
<p>I think I said no error for the gas one. Then again, I put "no error" for far too many.</p>
<p>I don't recognize the second one :( this is weird.</p>
<p>I wrote about French Revolution and Abolition of slaves which show that if nedds of nations or dictators violate the any of individuals regardless of having power, nations or regime was collapsed.</p>
<p>I wasn't sure what to write about, so I wrote about how the needs of the individuals are secondary only in extreme circumstances, such as war. I cited how the unions stopped striking, and only after the war did the 3,000 strikes occured. I then cited the Scheck v. US supreme court case, in which the constitutional freedoms were suspended during wartime. Thus, the needs and rights of the inivdiduals were secondary to the needs of the nation. So, what do you think of the essay? I think it was way too American History.</p>
<p>Also, I wasn't able to finish the test...as long as i get above a 700, i am good :)</p>
<p>I wrote about how we all have individual needs but needs of higher populations last longer and affect more people. I continued to state a thesis with reasons from science and history. My next paragraph stated Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and how reproduction can be both an individual and group need but is not necessary for the individual but necessary for the group as we need continuation of our species....blah blah. I then put in another paragraph on Christopher Columbus and how he initially intended to set sail with personal needs of gold and glory. Then I went on to state that his voyages help make Spain a greater world power and improve the nation of Spain with riches and power. I stated that his personal needs were met but affected no one but him whereas the nation's need for the voyage affected the whole Spanish population and the event gave Spain a lasting impression....yadayadayada. I finally sneaked in a brief concluding paragraph of my main points....all in 20 minutes! Oh, that essay was HECTIC!</p>
<p>I thought that the mc was really, really easy, save a question or two. The essay was a nice gift. Contrasted self-centered Jason Compson with societal-minded Raskolnikov. SATF and C&P, btw.</p>
<p>Lols.... hopefully mine will stand out because everyone seemed to right that the needs of the group is more important...
I wrote about how philosophically speaking it doesn't matter as long as you feel good about ur self at the end of the day...
i also compared how animals don't give a crap about their pride mades and stuff...</p>
