<p>i chose:
“given the effective marketing for films blah blah”</p>
<p>because “with” didn’t make much sense…that’s just my opinion though</p>
<p>for the essay, I used Elizabeth Bennet from pride and prejudice as an example, and my other example is an observation of how with better technology nowadays, people are able to interact more, soo fast and quick communication = better bonding</p>
<p>i didn’t use great vocabulary in my essay…</p>
<p>Don’t worry about vocab in the essay. I got a 12 last month w/ middle school vocabulary. they just want to see that you can argue a point logically thoroughly not so much how well you write</p>
<p>Essay isn’t that major. I made up a fake foreign novel and fake experience on my last SAT writing essay and i got an 11.</p>
<p>SOOOOOO which section was the experimental? Refer to post #60.</p>
<p>Why is the “Given____” better?</p>
<p>Wait hold on.
I remember my essay prompt saying something about weighing privacy and convenience. Is it worth it to lose privacy for the sake of convenience or whatever? I hope I didn’t completely miss the prompt. o_o</p>
<p>^there are usually two essays/several test versions</p>
<p>Oh, really? Uh-oh, because for that one I put something else…certainly not one of the “given” choices. Urgh. 
It might have been the first one, but anyway…</p>
<p>I have to agree with the opinions concerning the essay. It annoyed me. I just couldn’t think of any kind of examples that supported something as recent a phenomenon as the Internet friendship idea. Nothing from great (ly old and boring) literary classics, for sure…Hm. I had something about how actions speak louder than words and Facebook may let you send “hugs” virtually but you still can’t tell through typed words what someone might do when no one is looking or when you’re at their mercy. Then something else sentimental and passionate about how human beings are social creatures in the sense that they crave physical companionship, and credibility (which is necessary in a friendship) increases with actual presence. Thennnn, the five-minute call came and I had to split a previous paragraph, add a crap example about how Internet discussion forums, social networking sites and the like may unite people more quickly and easily than before, but they also tend to limit the people to those interests, and a well-rounded and fully fledged friendship should encompass all areas.</p>
<p>I don’t think my last “example” even counted…I totally ran out of time, unprepared for this kind of topic and all. My thesis and targeting of the asked question, along with smooth first paragraph (that’s all I ever have time for lol) and the two examples is all I’m really sure about.</p>
<p>Gosh, I’d be lucky to get an 8…assuming one grader is drunk and gives me a 5 and the other person is especially merciful and raises my 2 up to a 3…(sob, sob, sob)</p>
<p>what were the other choices for the “given____________” question?</p>
<p>I spent like, five minutes on solely the with/given and ultimately decided to leave it as “with”.
I was just anxious to put “given” because it wasn’t given. It was a change that occurred in the 1800s… these marketing techniques or whatever made the cameras easily accessible. I think that change was made WITH the assistance of the marketing techniques. But I guess my approach was a little less writing-concerned and more meaning-concerned.</p>
<p>I referenced social networking and “To Catch a Predator” in my essay.
I think that’s sufficient :P</p>
<p>If I get about -6 on the writing section but end up with a 12 essay, what would my scaled score for WR be?</p>
<p>I think scaled would be 680-800 don’t hold me to these figures, though</p>
<p>wait 680-800? you mean my score could be anywhere from a 680 to a 800? or that score would go up from a 680 to a 800 because of my essay</p>
<p>Hey guys, do you remember the question in sectino 10 about a bunch of insects? (It was the third to last question)-I put “plus something…”</p>
<p>And also in the other writing section, the last improving section was regarding some girl changing schools and she like it better. Did you guys put “,having” or " :It had"?</p>
<p>Also did u put for the improving paragraph- the greek sentence shud be deleted and the last question- the sentence shud come after sentence 14 (the last sentence)?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>-6 as raw points
I’d say about 740
6 wrong
^I’d guess around a 720-730</p>
<p>edit-the MC has more weight than the essay, but both are important</p>
<p>I just went in the blue book sorry for the wrong numbers</p>
<p>i put With somethin… rather than Gven… I put (A) for that one</p>
<p>i also got … :it had</p>
<p>agree with sixth</p>
<p>I also put A for With the advent~~ </p>
<p>Btw,</p>
<p>"Contrary to ~~perception, ~~~. "</p>
<p>WHat was the answer for this??</p>
<p>And </p>
<p>" On the eve of ~~, the European ~~ confidently declared that Americans could not have unity requried ~~~"</p>
<p>WHat was the answer for this?!?!</p>
<p>Thx~ :D</p>
<p>oh god, i probably got the “with/given” question wrong now that you guys gave explanations…i also struggled over it for a couple minutes</p>
<p>i put “it should be deleted” for the greek question because it was random</p>
