<p>I guess I will post in here 
MC-Ok I guess, I never know with these…
FRQ #1- Guessing 5/6/7
FRQ#2- Guessing 6/7/8
FRQ#3- This was amazing, wrote about the Awakening. The perfect book for this question, but you never know what the graders will think of it. Guessing 6/7/8
So I see myself getting a 4/3, but its just for credit. So happy with that :)</p>
<p>anyone remember any more questions from the grief section? xD</p>
<p>I wrote this much for each essay</p>
<p>FRQ #1- 1 page and 1/2, First paragraph spoke about how every line rhymed with each other and how that brought attention to what the author was saying then in my second paragraph I explain how this brought us the readers to the conclusion of him disliking desire which is ironic in the sense to have a desire to kill desire which would be impossible since it lives in all of us.</p>
<p>FRQ #2: 2 Pages and 1/2, Wrote about how she was like Helen Keller in my thesis, how she wasn’t ignorant because she wanted to be but because no one bothered to teach her the right way. Then went onto describing how others considered her “dirty” and stuff because of the different in cultural values and mores since she was in a foreign country, then finished off with how Mr. Flores was friendly and approachable causing her to open up and want to understand the world she now lives in.</p>
<p>FRQ #3: Used Pygmalion for 3 1/2 pages, talked about how Eliza Doolittle was propelled into a new world of white sheets, pretty dresses, and fancy cars so that she went from a woman who butchered the English language to one who can fool an phonetics expert! Then I talked about she changed not only physically but she mentally when she found her own confidence from Higgins’s teaching so that she eventually stand up for herself.</p>
<p>What do you guys think I got on these essays? ><</p>
<p>I’m aiming for a score of a 3 xD</p>
<p>Also We have assumed answers for 35/55 of the questions keep up the good work :D</p>
<p>I thought the test was much easier than what we’d done in class. Much easier than I expected…</p>
<p>MC were challenging at times but on the whole very straight forward. I can’t see myself having missed more than ten or so, probably not more than five. The Achilles passage was tons of fun to read and work with, the frog passage was by far the worst, both in terms of writing and questions. I got slowed down on the Woman passage a bit, mainly because I thought she was really attractive and decided to re-read it The dead painter passage was really simple in some respects but the questions were worded so strangely that it was much more difficult than it should have been.</p>
<p>For the free response questions all of them were pretty easy. I may have botched the prose one by making it too much of a plot-summary but the prompt for that one was so lame I can’t see how else it could have been answered. The poem had tons of stuff to write about (in vain three times, personification, apostrophe, end-stopped lines except for the last two) so I think I will have gotten a decent score on that. The open essay was perfect for the book I had prepared, only concern is that I tried to write too much on it instead of focusing on one particular part since 90% of Heart of Darkness is responsive to that prompt.</p>
<p>going back to the regal thing. When I read the passage I got that the frog was an ugly king without a queen or companion of any sort (alluding to a princess and the frog situation) and that the moss and area around it was alike a castle (granted an ugly one) and the swing was a like a throne empty and mocking of the frog. Also, I don’t remember anything about the frog being remorseful. the ugly and alone answer just seems too surface level to me. I could be completely wrong though, so you know, take it for what it is.</p>
<p>^I felt the answer was dealing with the frog and his environment.</p>
<p>Nowhere else did it imply anything about royalty, or that the frog had any power or control over anything. In fact, one of the answers was that the frog didn’t have any power</p>
<p>I am so mad at myself for botching that 1st essay. I had good analysis, devices, etc… for the first 9 lines but once it got to but I identified it as a shift to a more accepting attitude towards desire and it was him trying to justify him having desire. So my question is if someone uses the right devices and their essay was well-written, what score can you get if you misanalyzed a section?</p>
<p>Actually they would consider your shift of view in a good way. There is no RIGHT answer to the essays imo. From what I heard from various sources and what you said here, usually they consider everything you said. While you may have thought you mis-analyzed you may have done the opposite. I was debating the last line: “Desiring to kill desire”… I had never thought to announce it as accepting desire. I think you getting a 8 (9 if their no errors).</p>
<p>I just want my score already haha</p>
<p>^Ditto. I felt I did very well overall; I had oodles of time to spare for the MC section, which encouraged me somewhat. I started to panic with the essays because I couldn’t remember the format for the first question, so I skipped to the third. I wrote about the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo, Claude Frollo in particular. I think that the depth of my analysis and the strength of my thesis can get me an eight (or, at the very least, a seven). I think my other essays are seven material, too.</p>
<p>Not sure if its been mentioned or not, but the title of the first poem was ironic itself (thou blind man’s mark). Blind people can’t see a target :)</p>
<p>Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using CC</p>
<p>^ WOW. how did i not catch that?!</p>
<p>I feel like I nailed the multiple choice. I always did really well on practice ones in class (like 95% correct) but my essays were HORRIBLE. I used Invisible Man for the last FRQ, but I couldn’t remember a single character’s name…</p>
<p>@john: Yea, I notice that only because it was the first thing in the poem.</p>
<p>If you do amazing on the MC, around what do you need on the essays for a 5? Normally I do great in both but I choked on the prose piece idk why.</p>
<p>Yeah, I couldn’t believe how much time I had left!!! It was so much easier than ACT Reading where I could never finish :)</p>
