2011 January SAT: Writing Section

<p>In 1853 African Americans in San Francisco founded the Athenaeum; it was where their museum and library was.
something like that</p>

<p>no it isn’t their</p>

<p>It was where ITS museum and library was</p>

<p>Right?</p>

<p>I dont think that was the exact sentence cuz I thought there was an agreement error</p>

<p>In 1853 AA blah blah; it’s museum and library served as the center of cultural life for the region?</p>

<p>Alright cause I remember it should be its</p>

<p>so did it need to be corrected? it originally said its my previous post is incorrect</p>

<p>Wait did you pick A?</p>

<p>Also what did you lal remember about the passage questions?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Delete the sentence (like over 1 billion use bikes)</p></li>
<li><p>scandalizing equality</p></li>
<li></li>
</ol>

<p>4.</p>

<p>5.</p>

<p>6.</p>

<p>?</p>

<p>I remember that there was an agreement thingy and that it should be “its”, was that Choice A? I have a feeling that I picked another choice.</p>

<p>Hey guys what do u think, 10 on essay and 2 wrong will be, how bout 9 on essay and 1 wrong, and 9 on essay and 0 wrong???</p>

<p>i put delete it for the improving paragraphs one. they made deleting choice E i think.</p>

<p>what about that question with the girl in the blue dress?
was it D. the girl in the blue dress who was feeding the duck
or E. the girl in the blue dress, she was feeding the duck</p>

<p>???</p>

<p>The curve varies from year to year, so it’s pointless to predict your score like that, especially on writing where the odd essay+MC style of scoring CollegeBoard uses is really volatile.</p>

<p>That’s definitely D.</p>

<p>Do you guys think 11/12 essay + 3 wrong will be at least a 740?</p>

<p>girl in blue dress who was feeding the duck</p>

<p>@djayrk i did D.</p>

<p>D for the dress</p>

<p>@DJAYRK</p>

<p>It was D) The girl in the blue dress who was feeding the duck.</p>

<p>3 wrong with 11/12 is above 740</p>

<p>@Tenors</p>

<p>It’s easier to predict when the essay score is 11/12. If you get a 12, you’ll definitely have a 740+. The curve on an SAT a few years back was 12 essay + 4 wrong was still an 800.
If you get an 11, you’ll probably land somewhere around a 760-780. So either way, yes, you’ll be higher than a 740+</p>

<p>sigh…thats what i put :D</p>

<p>regarding the essay portion, can you get docked because you don’t fill up the entire space? i had about 1/5th of the second page left…</p>

<p>Should be fine provided your essau is good enough, but filling all is best.</p>
