December 2010 SAT WRITING thread

<p>“As an adjective, premier means first in rank or importance. The noun premier refers to a prime minister, or the head of a state, province, or territory. The noun premiere refers to the first performance (of a play, for example). Premiere is similarly used as a verb, meaning to give a first public performance.”</p>

<p>I don’t think I had that question though…</p>

<p>that was the alaska question,right? I thought it was NE too.</p>

<p>Anyone have the question about the pressure required for a microwave? I think the answer choice was E (it was the longest answer, something about than “that required for a microwave” or something…all I know was it was E)?</p>

<p>Something like “the sky was blue, while the hills were cover with snow” in past tense. Was that a NE?</p>

<p>Also something about global warming on a planet. It had an error, but it wasn’t what it seemed to be at first. Right? It was near the end of the error IDs.</p>

<p>Yeah there was one about alaska and being the premier sport, I got a NE for that one</p>

<p>also,</p>

<p>Does anyone remember one where it said capable to but it should have been able to (it was talking about scientists not being able to explain themselves in ordinary terms).</p>

<p>@Flcollegeman: I don’t have that question, but I had the one about alaska… so I’m sure one of my writing sections was experimental. What was your writing passage about (at the end of the section)? Was it about the griots?</p>

<p>I had two writing sections as well but yes I did have one with griots</p>

<p>ah okay. was just trying to see if I could figure out which of my writing sections was the experimental</p>

<p>For those of you who had the Griots/West Africa writing, how many NE did you guys get?</p>

<p>I think I had 3 no errors</p>

<p>NON-GRIOTS VERSION.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember a question in section 10 in which the correct response included “, being…,”? It was about a dragon.</p>

<p>Also, what NE’s do you remember for the error IDs part besides the “sky was blue, while the hills were covered in snow” and “…in art as” sentences? I put down 3 NE’s overall.</p>

<p>I had two writing sections. One was about Griots the other about Cesar Chavez. Can I assume that the Griots section was NOT experimental?</p>

<p>Anyone remember the Jorge question?
The last question of the entire test in the writing section.</p>

<p>what was the something something course a premier sporting event
dog sled
alaska</p>

<p>like does anyone remember the wording in that question?</p>

<p>in the griots passage</p>

<p>there was a question about changing the wording for they could “combine families or arrangemarriages between families”</p>

<p>did u put that it should be changed to “and also arrange marriages…”</p>

<p>what was the west coast essay?</p>

<p>@Flcollegeman: really, 3 no errors? do you remember what they were?</p>

<p>other than the premier question, i had only one other no error. it was something about romans and etruscans, does that ring a bell?</p>

<p>what other no error was there?</p>

<p>For me, I had 2 NE, don’t remember which one, but it was before the last page (#26-29)</p>

<p>did anyone put "tax ONE THAT " as the answer to number 10.</p>

<p>bump ^ answer</p>
