<p>Oh man now I'm even more nervous about #2 I put a lot of focus on the rhetorical questions and it looks like there was a lot more I could have done :(</p>
<p>Stasis: if you're correct in judging essay scores I'd say you're going to get a 5!</p>
<p>MC was a lot easier than I expected. In the practice tests my teacher gave, the passages were two pages long, not two columns long. That probably saved reading time for me and more time for answering questions.</p>
<p>I thought synthesis was really random. I think I did okay.</p>
<p>For the second question, my main points were selection of detail, rhetorical questions, and repetition of juxtaposed ideas. Small devices I mentioned were metaphors, litotes, and antithesis. I think I did okay.</p>
<p>Argument. This essay is probably my worst. It's still solid though.</p>
<p>I spent an hour on the synthesis one. Took entire 40 minutes for the rhetorical one, and had only 20 mins left over to write the argument essay. :(</p>
<p>Synthesis and rhetorical was okay.. but I didn't get to finish argument essay. I also didn't like the prompt although it was seemingly easy. MC was hard as always although I only skipped 1. </p>
<p>Can I pass the test (3 or higher) if I got</p>
<p>MC - 1 skip, 20 wrong
Synthesis - 7
Rhetorical - 6
Argument - 3</p>
<p>Sort of underestimating my score here.. but it's better to underestimate and not be disappointed later than overestimate right?</p>
<p>um i dont think that's passing...</p>
<p>I thought the synthesis and analysis questions were easy. But the second one really killed me.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get strange patterns in their multiple choice? I kept getting AAACCCBB etc for almost the whole first column. I did well on the practice ones in class, but I'm so worried now.</p>
<p>I did terrible on MC. second essay question i beasted on because the dbq was was pretty easy so i wrote a really good one and had about an hour for my second essay. I used syntax, antithesis, metaphor, simile, diction, and paradox for the second one. I think i might have used more but i dont remember. 3rd essay was easy because i did an essay just like it almost word for word about 3 weeks ago, but it was a dbq.</p>
<p>Okay....so lets start with the first passage in MC.
No other way to say it than it sucked!! I spent too much time on it and had to hurry through the rest of the test. Other than that stupid first passage the MC was fine
I really enjoyed the synthesis....I thought it was really funny cause it was really random. I am hoping for like a 7 or 8....I thought it was a good one. The other 2 essays were okay. I probably got 6s on the 2nd and 3rd.<br>
I had a couple times where there would be like three of one answer then three of another. But seriously....not a good thing to look at. You psych yourself out!!</p>
<p>@zfox001 - I did the EXACT same thing...screwed me up because then I felt rushed afterwards.</p>
<p>Orual: I agree with you, but I'm afraid to discuss the question too in-depth before the 48 hours are up. I'll just say that I wrote one or two long-winded sentences about how this particular person's line of reasoning is "absurdly irrational and fails to take into account [something similar to what you said]." </p>
<p>Basically, wages are hourly, and in any context (even perceiving wasted time as potential work time) 40 seconds a day can be regarded as negligible, right? Therefore, one cannot just add up this time and say that we're "losing" money. I mean, I'm not an economist so maybe I'm just not fathoming some principle, but the whole argument seems a little contrived.</p>
<p>swin2daend, according to cliffs, that should be safe for a 3. Raw score = 84.4784. </p>
<p>5 = 150 - 104
4 = 103 - 92
3 = 91 - 76</p>
<p>oh i didn't calculate it. That was an assumption from a glance.</p>

I wrote about diction and anaphora for the 2nd question. I hope that'senough . That's what my teacher told me to do....
[/quote]
</p>
<p>I wrote about anaphora, too! There was even an aphorism in there.</p>
<p>But I mostly wrote about the extended metaphor. I did not really directly analyze diction. Woops.</p>
<p>mann i really want to redo my second essay:(</p>
<p>haha i wish i could redo multiple choice.</p>
<p>damn time</p>
<p>what's the difference between antithesis and juxtaposition?</p>
<p>I put rhetorical questions, similes/metaphors and antithesis but im not sure if it was juxtaposition, antithesis or just parallel structure</p>
<p>i put oxymoron for that m.c. with antithesis as an option if thats what youre refering to</p>
<p>edit but i realize youre not refering to that</p>
<p>haha, first mc passage was hard as hell! but then it got easier, especiallyy with the 10 questions on footnotes [[haha, easyyyy!]]</p>
<p>reaallyy confident with the synthesis and argument. i know i got at least 7 or 8 on those. essayy #2 was kinda rushed, but maybe around a 5 or 6? </p>
<p>i don't know, but i think i did a whole bunch better on this than on the apush test. (x</p>
<p>Juxtaposition is when two things sharply contrast whereas Antithesis is when two things are compared using parallelism i think.</p>
<p>lv-lover: I think I remember some strange patterns. Definitely a CCC early on... </p>
<p>Poseur: glad I'm not the only crazy person, then. :) I was a little worried I had missed something really obvious.</p>
<p>yesss, the test was so easy</p>
<p>hoping for 10 wrong, 6 6 7 which is a 5 I think</p>
<p>also I have an unrelated question that has absolutely nothing to do with the MC:</p>
<p>celebratory or pedantic tone?</p>
<p>also unfettered spirit or something else?</p>
<p>correct/wrong</p>
