December 2010 SAT WRITING thread

<p>hmm I thought I had experimental writing? I had two 35 writing question sections (?)</p>

<p>Griots=West Africa, correct?</p>

<p>yeah west africa</p>

<p>Yeah, I put snowing as an error. It was something like “Lightning does not occur when snowing.” I thought that there needed to be like a when “it is” snowing or something or else it implied that the lightning was the thing doing the snowing. I wasn’t sure on that one though</p>

<p>for thewrting
that one question number 18 where it said “had become”…"until the ancient people " what was the answer </p>

<p>was it no error?</p>

<p>@dguptaa </p>

<p>If we’re talking about the same question then I believe that one was “became”.</p>

<p>griots definitely was experimental. i saw no such thing on my test</p>

<p>was question 18 like at the top of the second page?</p>

<p>and scrivener - that’s prob b/c there were two entirely different test versions</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What were your 2 paragraph editing paragraphs? Maybe experimentals change by time zone. My friend had CS Lewis/Griots and I had CS Lewis/Biking to work and we’re both in CA.</p>

<p>Im pretty sure that it was supposed to be “had become” so no error. look it up</p>

<p>Writing was my experimental section.</p>

<p>I had biking to work and air conditioning…</p>

<p>was that question (#18) like at the top of the second page?</p>

<p>Scrivener. You do know that there are two different SAT’s for November 2010?</p>

<p>has anyone figured out if biking or air conditioning was experimental?</p>

<p>What would a 12 essay and a -7 be?
Also what would an 11 essay and a -10 be (worst case scenario)</p>

<p>Definitely aircondition</p>

<p>in response to kk0494</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I’ve figured out that there were 4 paragraphs (at least, that we know about):</p>

<ol>
<li>CS Lewis/Writing for children</li>
<li>Biking to Work</li>
<li>Griots/West Africa</li>
<li>Air Conditioning</li>
</ol>

<p>My friend and I both had writing experimental. I had 1&2, she had 1&3. I’m waiting on some of my non-writing-experimental friends to tell me what they had.</p>

<p>i actually did not know that :slight_smile: thanks
this explains my vast confusion over all of this.</p>

<p>Hey guys, in question #29 is it grammatically correct to say “to discourage to do something”? I thought it is “to discourage from doing something” and “encourage to do something”…I believe the part with infinitive under discourage was underlined, so I’ve chosen it as an error. What do you think?</p>

<p>i had biking and CR experimental.</p>
