December 2010 SAT WRITING thread

<p>dara yes i put A as well! i had two no errors, and they were the sunflower one and the one about unions demanding impossible stuff…???</p>

<p>HOly **** … thank you soo much.
another question on essays… did anyone else get the heros one? I came upon that AMAZING 12 essay in 10 days late last night and started researching immediatly. During my research I crashed and so the only solid topic i reasearched was Jack Welch. So does anyone think that I can break 10 with l.25 pages and only one example. I used big words when i could, and a variety of complex sentence structures. I just feel like my MC was great but if i get like an 8 essay or something im gonna have to retake writing as a senior just to break 700s</p>

<p>@dara128, i put “UNTIL 1968” idk, it seemed really ambiguous to me at the time. </p>

<p>haha i used billgates/oprah, obama, and teachers around the world for the essay prompt about heroes.</p>

<p>Lovelipink.
Yeah i put E for those of those too. Idk if you remember this order or anyhting. But i had E at the bottom of a page, then at the top of the page i got an actual answer, and then the second one after I got E… idk if thats even the two questions your talking about, I just remember thinking how wierd it was that I had 2 E that close together. IF you dont even follow what im babbling about, nvm lol.</p>

<p>1.25 examples and 1 example for a 10 is extremely unlikely. My friend wrote 1.5 pages 3 examples for only an 8 in october (shame since a 9 would have given him a 2400). I thought the prompt was relatively easy. My examples:
A. Bill Gates
B. Liu Xiaobo
C. Chuck from the TV show “Chuck”</p>

<p>Tried to cram in a conclusion on four lines</p>

<p>Haha, I know nothing about current event or people, So naturally i get a question on MODERN heros. I could have written a 12 essay in Ulysses, hercules, Jason, etc. ( im in latin III so i see this stuff on a regular basis).</p>

<p>Damn. Well if my essay score gets to like 8 or something and i still get close to 700 ill be happy. If not, looks like im retaking next year.</p>

<p>hmm, is it okay if i put ppl from the 1930s?</p>

<p>for essay I did

  1. mother theresa
  2. MLK
    3/conclusion my parents
    thought it was good :)</p>

<p>Didn’t it say one was 4 times the other?</p>

<p>evil panda you either have a diff test or experimental</p>

<p>i meant is it okay to use ppl from 1930s on the essay</p>

<p>Hey guys how many no errors did you get? And what did you get for the paragraph correction one about West Africa. It was either to remove has and have it read enabled or to add to and have it read or to.</p>

<p>For my essay, I used Aron Ralston, NYPD and NYFD on 9/11 (clich</p>

<p>dara i think the sunflower one is the one that u r talking about on the bottom of the page…but im not sure about the next one cuz the other no error that i put was the second question of the NEXT page…but i may be wrong :(((</p>

<p>The Essay wasn’t about who your heroes were , it was like do you believe there can be heroes in modern society. I made two body paragraphs on two different type of heroes describing what they are and with two specific examples of each.</p>

<p>anyone remember wierd questions</p>

<p>The one where “One classmate collected plants from a region then labeled and organised them on the shelf” (something like that). I put B but I’m not so sure. Anyone remember this?</p>

<p>Yeah I put the and then one. Not the one that was sort of like a list. Zed how many no errors did you get? And what did you get for the paragraph correction one about West Africa? It was either to remove has and have it read enabled or to add to and have it read or to</p>

<p>any1 remember #21 for the 20 minute section where it was like, this indian musical instrument was … something.</p>

<p>I believe I got around 2-3 no errors. I think I put remove. There was also one about a passage with the griots. Did you put “delete sentence 4”?</p>
