<p>Well it has been 8 days now, only 11 days left until scores are released. These essay scores are going to be interesting</p>
<p>agree, I thought my essay went fine until I realized that it was apparently a copy paste of everyone elses.
I heard the test graders had to watch an episode of jersey shore to qualify to grade essays.</p>
<p>Agreed. I thought I was fine until I realized that we’re being graded on our knowledge of Sammi and Ronnie’s relationship.</p>
<p>Will it matter at all that I completely made stuff up about photography in 1984 and sort of skewed some stuff about the Holocaust if I otherwise wrote a great essay?</p>
<p>^no, as long as what you said proves your thesis. Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant.</p>
<p>I was actually debating whether to get into the unhealthiness of Sam and ronnie’s relationship, but they’d probably be unimpressed that I watch jersey shore.</p>
<p>^^this proves smart people watch jersey shore too :)</p>
<p>Oh the essays…scores will be interesting I bet</p>
<p>Don’t even remind me… I bet the essay graders mentally groaned when they saw my essay. At least we’ll get it back, unlike OTHER essays written for CERTAIN programs given out by CollegeBoard during the month of May</p>
<p>Very true. I wish we could see our AP tests. </p>

<p>Imagine if your introduction sentence to the essay was, </p>
<p>“As an illustrious member of the notorious television program The Jersey Shore once said, ‘Come at me, Bro.’”</p>
<p>9 days down, 10 to go. </p>
<p>Quit talking about the essay…lol, im worried enough since everyone talked about the Jersey Shore and my paragraph on that was rushed. And my other example sucked. And my worst section is writing MC… lol, the writing is going to blow my chances at a 2100. </p>
<p>10 days!!!</p>
<p>Well I wrote about the Benefits of reality TV (that’s right, benefits) so my essay is probably a failure already. :(</p>
<p>Anyone have predictions about the curve? Harsh,easy, regular,etc?</p>
<p>Hopefully, the curve will be -6 for math, not the stupid -4 that CB has been using lately…</p>
<p>@Fusion, Me too! High five! I have hope being the minority in the essay stack will only help us!</p>
<p>what are your curve predictions?</p>
<p>Fun fact: according to CB 990 form, the CEO of College Board made over 850k in 2009.</p>
<p>Some non-profit.</p>
<p>I was in quite a panic when I saw the essay. I then began to think that the vast majority of people are going to be writing about JSHORE BABY, so I elected not to. I argued that it is beneficial. Used a made up example, big money 10 or up</p>
<p>I keep hearing about this reality show essay topic…was it really that unfair? I’m not sure whether to consider myself lucky that I got the other topic. I was kinda reaching for examples on that one. So nervous about my score. But since I did well on the PSATs, I think this will be a lot better. At least better than the ACT’s last month! Yikes. I FAIL at math and science. Hope the SAT math curve is set waaaay low. :)</p>
<p>^No, it really wasn’t that unfair. A question about reality TV would have been unfair, but it was about reality entertainment, a category into which you can fit almost anything. The reason everyone seemed to think it was about only TV was because the short passage above the actual prompt was about TV…</p>
