<p>hm, i wish i knew what went through the graders heads.</p>
<p>dont we all</p>
<p>maybe i’ll become one…</p>
<p>ill be the CC insider and give everyone 12’s.</p>
<p>ahaa.
did you guys have the acting question?
i thought it was sooo weird!</p>
<p>I was so glad to get the essay question I got. I came up with 3 examples faster than I ever have 
That allowed me to fill up the full 2 pages.</p>
<p>To anyone who’s guessing about essay length, a longer essay generally means a higher score, assuming your examples weren’t fluff.</p>
<p>lol, when i saw the essay question, i blanked out</p>
<p>I’m worried because my handwriting is naturally massive. I actually ran out of room on the test with like 5 minutes left :(.</p>
<p>even if cb doesn’t give you a 12, i do.</p>
<p>who thought this test’s essay question was weird, the one about acting</p>
<p>I had the acting one as well. First things that came to mind was Of Mice and Men and the Crucible. I found it better than the october and november topic actually because it was easier to find specific examples. I wrote the full 2 pages this time, but last two times, I wrote about a page and half both times and recieved two 10s, which I found quite ammusing. My first essay (topic was “are good decisions made with planning or in an instant”) was poorly written and contained poor examples (i used the cape crusader ^_^) and scored a 10. Second essay i used some real lit examples, including Frankenstein and scored the same. A good friend who scored a 12 also filled up the two pages, which has also led me to the same conclusion. The lesson is, if you write small, write bigger.</p>
<p>international essay was okay too. i wrote 2 pages and into the column after the last line, but i left a line between each of my paragraphs. do you guys do that?</p>
<p>I wrote about “Pathos” and Malcolm X’s assassination. If I don’t get at least a 10 I’m gonna be sad :(</p>
<p>I wrote about Shakespeare’s As You Like It and my personal experience as a musician for the acting prompt</p>
<p>Got nearly two pages…<em>crosses fingers</em></p>
