<li>Meh... i was pretty surface level</li>
<li>easy as crap, wow... how could you possibly have a problem with this if you are an ap lit student?</li>
<li>Easy- if you studied invisible man like i did last night, it was cinch.</li>
</ol>
<p>I am hoping for a 3 after omitting nearly all of the last passage on MC :(</p>
<p>I used the word synecdoche in one of my FR =p.</p>
<p>i used the word synesthesia, but i don't think that makes me special one bit.</p>
<p>Where did you use it? I was looking for places I could, but never found one. I used things like: dramatic irony, bathos, caesura, and anapestic (or iambic?) tetrameter. I was happy that I got some cool vocab in.</p>
<p>I hope everyone stressed the WHAT more than the HOW. Vocab is great of course but what does it mean or contributes for the overall piece needs to apply as well.</p>
<p>oh, i dropped SAT words like they were hott</p>
<p>lugubrious, ubiquotous, etc. - they're all in there (and used correctly, thank you).</p>
<p>You just made me feel like an idiot, calidan..</p>
<p>I used the word "break" for "caesura," when I know perfectly well what caesura means. Maybe I should have studied literary terms the night before. Wow.. the reader is going to think I'm an idiot.</p>
<p>I'm so not talking about the test. :)
One of the selections on the test was covered by my teacher, so that helped. I thought that was cool.</p>
<p>what the hell was the second prompt about? what was the point?</p>
<p>The third essay was practially written for the one book I liked that we read in class today... A Doll's House. Nora is the PERFECT character for the prompt.</p>
<p>Hrm.</p>
<p>MC: A breeze. It was so easy, I almost had to go back and quadruple-check my answer and still went to sleep.</p>
<p>E#1: Oh god. Writing this essay was so unbelievably easy. For purposes of discussion and not being deleted by Trinity, I'm not going to describe what the subject matter was, but it was very easy to pick out the rhetorical devices and such.</p>
<p>E#2: Once again, a cinch. I thought the prompt was boring. DIABLO2FAN: We can't tell you what the point was about, but yes, believe it or not, there was a universal concept to the story! Took me a while to figure it out, though.</p>
<p>E#3: Am I the only one who used Heller's Catch-22? </p>
<p>essays:</p>
<p>open-ended question: anyone else write about Candide? I had so much to write about for it. I had a beautiful intro and conclusion and tons of support and analysis for my body paragraphs. 7 or 8 for this essay (do not think it's 9-worthy though)</p>
<p>I wrote 2 solid pages on the second passage--it took me a few re-readings to notice the details and actually consider the significance of the title before i really got the subtle devices and intention of author. 7 or 8 on this essay.</p>
<p>as for the first essay, i also think i did well--7, and maybe an 8 if the reader loves me =P</p>
<hr>
<p>Multiple choice:</p>
<p>First passage freaked me out at first--so I skipped to the other passages. First verse passage my AP lit class went over, the second prose was straightforward, and last poem was easy. I answered questions 14-55 and probably missed no more than 4 questions, but only had 10 minutes to complete the first passage's questions, so i skimmed through it and answered 1-10 questions (with my best judgement) while omitting 3.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure i earned a 7.5 average for the essays and about 40 for the MC score, thereby earning a 5 (wooooooooo! no more english classes for me at berkeley =P)</p>
<p>Did any one use A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich or am I the only student in america who wrote about it?</p>
<p>Oh, forgot my # of pages:</p>
<p>E#1: 3 pages</p>
<p>E#2: 3 pages</p>
<p>E#3: 4 pages</p>
<p>Total: 10 pages. (5 front and back).</p>
<p>for those that wrote 3 pages, did you double space?</p>
<p>i simply can't imagine writing 4 single spaced pages in 40 minutes with prewriting!</p>
<p>oh, and i think i might have skipped one question accidentally and, thus, marked the n-1 answer on question n thereby ****ing my ass over for a good grade.</p>
<p>the bright side: it doesn't matter at all because penn doesn't allow people to pass out of english.
the dark side: gotta swallow some pride because i'm OCD as hell!</p>
<p>the multiple choice was murder.</p>
<p>Prompt 1: I wrote a great essay, although the prompt was difficult. 4 pages
Prompt 2: A piece of crap. I had nothing to say about this passage. My mind was completely blank. I'm hoping for a 6. 2.75 pages
Prompt 3: Used Their Eyes by Hurston. It was perfect because we had wrote the exact same essay for my AP Lit class. So, I just copied the essay from my memory. 3.33 pages</p>
<p>Wow, I haven't posted in this forum since the SATs.</p>
<p>MC - The goal here was just to rack up as many points as possible, because I have trouble staying awake during this crap. I did the reading passages first, expended very little effort, then went to the poems and answered the questions reluctantly.
Essay 1 - Beautiful, though I barely remember what it was about now.
Essay 2 - Super-detailed. I went sentence by sentence, went deep into the analysis of her conformity and inability to liberate herself, and that jazz.
Essay 3 - Had no time. Wrote a few skimpy paragraphs about the Awakening (which was part of the prompt, and that's a no-no, but my mind went blank). I could just as well have written nothing.</p>
<p>Regardless of the score, I'll still have to take English in college. Useless test.</p>

No. Single-space.</p>
<p>damn man, you must write friggen huge or do no prewriting or bs a lot!</p>
<p>i said that her purpose was to comment on how we place such emphasis on trivial externalities.</p>
<p>i wrote 3 pages for each essay single-spaced</p>
