January 2009 SAT Writing Discussion

<p>no error for oyster, "because of" for Hagia Sofia. on the Hagia Sophia question: the sentence was something like "not so much for its ______ but because of <strong><em>" and i figured it should've been "not so much for its _</em></strong> but for its ___"....</p>

<p>does anyone remember the codfish question exactly..</p>

<p>I second the coldfish request.</p>

<p>sofia one was not experimental, cuz I had CR experimental and had the sofia one.</p>

<p>damn, I put "such areas as" for codfish. one wrong. countless to come.</p>

<p>which writing section was not experimental? the one with the passage about organic vegies or the other one</p>

<p>i second lotastic on hagia sofia.</p>

<p>but for oyster, is it correct to say "few such vessels remain"? </p>

<p>and how about the giant tortoise who "sat basking"?</p>

<p>finally, was the helen of troy one correct?</p>

<p>was the codfish setence ID or correction? relative number?</p>

<p>The codfish one had 2 indep clauses. The first clause had a singular verb and was set off from the second clause by a semicolon. Thus, I put they are as the answer choice (wrong, should be it is) but im not sure</p>

<p>ingette, I didn't have giant tortoises or Helen of Troy anywhere. Experimental?</p>

<p>Codfish question iirc: The codfish lives something something something; they are something something something. Basically, I remember there being an error between the singular codfish and the plural they...</p>

<p>what essay score do you need in order to get 800 with 1 wrong in MC?</p>

<p>There was one writing...don't know if this was experimental or not...about eyeglasses/lenses....i marked A, which was "Since". Is this what you guys got?</p>

<p>i also said few such vessels remain
i just thought of codfish as plural and singular because FISH is the same in the singular and plural form.. i dont know.</p>

<p>gosh, i don't remember the codfish at all! was it ID?</p>

<p>Even though I knew it was too wordy, for the World's Fair question I put E. I still reserve this was right, because the other answers were awkward/didn't make sense.</p>

<p>guuuys i had writing experimental and did u guys have a section with a paragraph about organic food</p>

<p>@zenthyz: i don't remember any eyeglasses or lens. experimental prob</p>

<p>@upenn: iirc it was something like "The codfish lives", which is...singular...</p>

<p>I don't think I had an error in World's Fair. It was the last section so I was really bleary-eyed and confused after 4 hours of testing so idr.</p>

<p>@ zenthyz: i also put since, but i'm pretty sure it was experimental unfortunately.</p>

<p>why is everyone ignoring my question</p>

<p>sorry, it's addressed in the other post. organic is experimental.</p>

<p>i didn't have organic, but i did have helen of troy and giant tortoise....so which is experimental?</p>
