<p>Literally, all 32 pages of this thread have to do with no more than like 8 of the actual questions</p>
<p>^ lol its true haha</p>
<p>For my essay, I talked about the ill-effects of appearance versus reality, which reality entertainment involves, and I mentioned Walden and Huck Finn as my two examples. Is this too off-topic?</p>
<p>For the car passage, wasn’t it “Consequently,” and not “Unfortunately?”
The sentence talked about something about an advancement with a consequence for amateurs or something like that.</p>
<p>I also had the photography prompt and I was so confused the entire 25 minutes. I love Art History and we talk a lot about photography but I could not sum up my thoughts, so I panicked.
Nevertheless, my examples included: artist scratching camera lens to warp reality into a misty artistic creation, pre-raphaelite brotherhood influences of proper settings of a captured image, and something about dark rooms. It was very cluttered. </p>
<p>I don’t know, this SAT test was okay.
Very sad about Math, misread a few questions…;(
Writing seemed easy
CR went surprisingly well (Hoping 700+)</p>
<p>I know the “between workers” one sounded awkward but is it necessarily grammatically incorrect and 100% wrong? Not going to get upset over this but I’m just curious because sometimes they include awkward phrases which are still correct.</p>
<p>@asinine Consequently means as a result, so thats why i put unfortunately.</p>
<p>“consequently” also means as a consequence…second definition though…0-0</p>
<p>Those two definitions literally mean the same thing, and there is only one definition in Oxford anyway: “as a result.”</p>
<p>■■ anyone remember the anwer to the transition between paragraph 2 and 3 for cars!!! dam…i put personal experience???or w.e C is?</p>
<p>and what about the meats and desserts one??? i think i put E? or w.e -----the family? anyone rememebr the choices?</p>
<p>@asinine im pretty sure it was unfortunately… As a consequences doesnt really make sense after a sentence that talks about fixing a car yourself. The sentence that follows it says if you don’t have the skills to do it, then find a mechanic or something (forgot the sentence but i think its close). consequently is used like: I bought a dog. Consequently, i had to pick up its s*@!. hahaha not the best example but whatever
In terms of the question “If you know how to fix a car yourself, do it. Unfortunately, if you don’t, you probably have to find a mechanic” (along the lines of that).</p>
<p>Disagree. I remember reading that for parallelism and thinking it was fine as is.</p>
<p>just to wrap up the commotion about the essay, i just realized that the quote in front of the question serves only as an inspiration for people, and the ONLY thing that matters is the assignment “Do so-called reality forms of entertainment harm or benfit society.” SAT assignments are never narrow and specific, thats why they used “forms of reality entertainment” instead of “reality TV like jersey shore, or big loser, pregnant teens…” And in my opinion, any thing related to entertainment that in name but dont actaully represent reality fall into the right category. Just my two cent…Something to consider, i might be wrong though</p>
<p>I did it 3 ways, got 28 26 and 24. Went with 24.</p>
<p>did the lawrence of arabia one start off as …“known to many for _________…” because I’m pretty sure it should’ve been “known BY many”.</p>

<p>I am 100% sure on unfortunately. The tone was negative, something like “You could try to fix it yourself. However cars have gotten much more complicated. ________, you’ll probably have to take it to an expensive repair shop.”</p>
<p>I concur with unfortunately.</p>
<p>For my essay I had three body paragraphs discussing:
- How in the early 20th century movies such as Birth of a Nation were taken as reality (President Wilson was like, wow, this is historically accurate and the best movie ever!) and African Americans were portrayed as rapists and idiots (I talked about “Zip Coon” and how that was a term reflecting blacks as unintelligent beings)… So this form of “reality” caused discrimination</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Jersey Shore (sigh…) and how it negatively influences kids to drink, and idolizes alcoholics who do nothing. Ever.</p></li>
<li><p>Shows like The Price is Right and luck based games shows revolving around money… I said they induce false hope for ordinary people. They will hope to be chosen for a game show or the lottery rather than attain a steady job.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I used at least 5-6 SAT vocabulary words and Had a solid intro and a very brief conclusion. </p>
<p>I was pretty happy with myself because the moment I looked at that prompt I was like GAH. no.</p>
<p>But I recovered!</p>
<p>What do you think I should get on the essay based on my examples/use of vocabulary & [hopefully] grammer?</p>
<p>Anyone care to make a consolidated answer list?</p>
<p>two examples is fine right? I had two and filled just about 2 pages</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for explaining that to me ! LOL</p>
