<p>The title should be “For those of you who got 770+ CR.” “Whom” could be used as an object if the sentence was written, “For those of you whom the College Board gave a 770+ CR.” </p>
<p>In that example, the “whom” is not the subject of any verb, unlike the case in the OP’s title and in some sentences that comply with the rule that the OP and College92 have fabricated.</p>
<p>lol give it a break, haha</p>
<p>This is the SAT section of CC. Emphasizing points and stopping the proliferation of false ideas that could cause one to miss questions on the SAT seem appropriate here.</p>
<p>I made a careless mistake. I’m sorry.
Despite the error, the whole topic of this thread was to garner how one has achieved a score of 770 on the Verbal section.</p>
<p>Silverturtle, i copied that definition word for word out of my Barrons book. I further researched it afterward to make sure I wasn’t mistaken. Those examples were straight out of my prep books as well.</p>
<p>What exactly did you copy? I have only refuted the claim that nouns following prepositions should always be in the objective case.</p>
<p>To the OP’s intention for this thread,</p>
<p>Check out some of the threads on this forum that are designed specifically for helping with CR preparation; they have oodles of valuable information and will likely answer your question to satisfaction if mined. </p>
<p>Check out this one from someone who received a 2400: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/750399-how-attack-sat-critical-reading-section-effectively.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/sat-preparation/750399-how-attack-sat-critical-reading-section-effectively.html</a></p>
<p>You must use objective pronouns as objects of prepositions. Refer to my examples i stated before.</p>
<p>Refer to this site for a better explanation. Though its only a blog, it supports my claim of the rule that I have learned from countless hours of Grammar study from prep books.
[Grammar</a> Guide: 21. Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions](<a href=“http://grammarstars.blogspot.com/2007/09/pronouns-as-objects-of-prepositions.html]Grammar”>Grammar Guide: 21. Pronouns as Objects of Prepositions)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Assuming the pronoun was functioning as the object of the preposition in the first place.</p>
<p>The “rule” someone posted is that if a pronoun is proceeded by a preposition, the pronoun must be in the objective case. That’s not a rule.</p>
<p>“countless hours of Grammar study from prep books.”</p>
<p>Maybe you forgot to check the sections on capitalization; Grammar is not a proper noun. :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Irony…</p>
<p>lol once again, give it up…:-)</p>
<p>To the OP: read, read, read, read, and read. That’s pretty much all that the CR question is these days (the analogy questions that gave me nightmares as a kid are thankfully gone). </p>
<p>To beef up on your vocabulary, give yourself 6-12 months to go through one of those SAT word lists. Slow and steady wins the race (we did 10 per week in my Honors English class, and that pace felt brutal by the end of the year!). Pretty much all of the ‘top SAT word lists’ out there are identical–we hand-tailor our word list to your needs, for example, but there’s no secret formula to determining which words are ‘hard’ or which appear most frequently on the SAT. </p>
<p>The point is, read a lot and go with whichever list helps you study the best. Good luck!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>lol I hope you see the irony in this statement op.</p>
<p>I do read a lot. I don’t feel the need to study vocab lists because the answer is in the question and I can usually winnow out the stupid choices. </p>
<p>I just wanted to see other readers’ tactics.</p>
<p>lol only a bunch off cc grammarians would turn this whole thread into a friggen grammar rule. Jeez, it’s a forum. We don’t have to be perfect with our grammar, especially considering the fact that his question was CR related, not grammar related.</p>
