DS took the June SAT also. He thought this one was easier. He has always skipped question he doesn’t know on the PSAT the last 2 years and the SAT in June. On this test he felt he knew the answers so he didn’t skip any…I’m hoping he was right.
I think that one was the 5th circle
@intparent Pretty much everyone ignores that. Same happened for the June 6th test and no one had any problems with us here on College Confidential.
Pretty sure I messed up a question in the zen section, but I think I got everything else right. Math was bleh. I skipped a bunch (about 6?) and pretty sure I got at least 3 wrong. Pretty sure I’ll have a strong CR score - and hoping for a decent Essay/Writing score.
If you will cheat and help others do so, and don’t keep your word when you signed an agreement not to do this, why should the adult volunteers out here give you help with other aspects of getting into college? It is easy to see who is engaging in this after reminders of what you signed.
It was okay I guess…i have never taken the SAT before but the math was much easier than expected, although I know I got that stupid sock problem wrong! Anyways the CR was not fantastically easy, however I don’t think I completely bombed it. Overall, it was a fun experience!
Q. Should people be valued according to their capabilities rather than their achievements?
——————x—————
The presupposition that people should be valued according to their capabilities rather than their achievements is a categorical truth.Although some romantic critics would argue that achievements define a person,these critics are so dogmatic in their provincial ideology that they fail to notice the reality.Sometimes people go through such difficult conditions that opportunities for achievements become rare and the only way to measure a person’s value is by looking into their capabilities.This universal notion is exemplified throughout history and literature.
In the 1800s,Frederick Douglass,an abolitionist and social reformer,did a lot for the black people.He was initially a slave and nothing was expected from him.But he went on to become one of America’s most famous abolitionist.He gave speeches throughout the country,wrote a plethora of books,and debunked the belief that black men were incapable of acting as independent citizens.Douglass was certainly capable of doing many things and it would be wrong to value him according to his achievements since he went though insurmountable difficulties and opportunities for achievements were few.
Another illustration which demonstrates that capabilities are more important than achievements can be demonstrated by analysing the life of the current Indian prime minister,Narendra Modi.Modi was a tea seller in his younger years and didn’t undergo rigorous learning in universities.Nothing was expected from him and he was just a young man with big dreams who couldn’t afford to take part in national competitions pertaining to the subject of the country’s national interests.He had no achievements;he had a will…a will to change the dynamics of the Indian economy and make his nation great again.He joined the party ‘BJP’ ,impressed the leaders,and moved up ranks in his party.Today he is the prime minister of India and has made the country one of the world’s fastest growing economies.Had he been judged on his previous achievements and not on his capabilities,he would never have become the prime minister and would probably still be a tea seller.
Through a careful analysis of the life of Frederick Douglass and Narendra Modi,it can indeed be said that achievements are secondary to capabilities and that keeping this in mind is instrumental for maintaining the society’s happiness and tranquilty.
please grade my essay thanks a lot
Hey guys! I really messed up on the math section and didn’t answer that many (didn’t pace well). I answered only 39 questions. If I got 36/54 right will I get a 600 most likely?
you’ll get around 550
