2011 SAT March: Writing

<p><a href=“SAT’s Reality TV Question Flummoxes Some Takers - The New York Times”>SAT’s Reality TV Question Flummoxes Some Takers - The New York Times;

<p>My dear god…this thread has now been featured in the NYT as well…</p>

<p>…not sure what to say about that</p>

<p>aaaaaaa, what is this? That’s so scary ;_;
Good thing this is confidential, but I’m afraid people who know me (and know that I like penguins) know who I am.</p>

<p>Hopefully College Board doesn’t penalize us ._.</p>

<p>I really dont think it was that controversial, haha.<br>
It was just surprising.</p>

<p>i meant the transition between paragraph 2 and 3 of the cars paragraph. and the meats and desserts of the last section? anyone remember answer choices?!?</p>

<p>I didnt agree w/ the reality tv prompt. I wrote about people trying to copy survivorman, people dont trust taxi drivers after watching the amazing race, and how some people act like theirs a reality tv show about them, like in entourage. Lots and lots of bull</p>

<p>Have we come to any consensus on the Madagascar question? Obviously it couldn’t have been “Due to it separating” because the possessive has to be used with a gerund. I think I put “having separated” but I remember going back and forth between that and “by separating…” which was right?</p>

<p>It’s kind of amusing seeing articles blow this out of proportion and quote my first post to their needs. Except for the one blogger who assumed I was a whiny rich kid.</p>

<p>I’m a little surprised NYT explicitly stated which example I used. Will an essay scorer who has read the article recognize Jacob Riis and score me differently?</p>

<p>^^no, they won’t. More than one person might have used the example, so it’d be doubly unfair to grade it differently.</p>

<p>This is true.</p>

<p>It is really hard to score good in SAT.It preapared alot for May 4th SAT but unfortunately left out with the unsatifactory score of 1740 :frowning:
Maths=590
CR=420
Grammar=440</p>

<p>Is there any ingeneous advice that can help me getting score above 2200 ?? I am very curious about my future,and SAT is also very crucial for good future :)</p>
