June 20009 SAT Inernational - Writing

<p>cud everyone pls post asnwers ur sure of were right and any doubts u might hav ? my writing has always sucked last time got 570 but hope to pull it up to 760 this time. </p>

<p>btw is it just me or were there very few "no errors" this time ? lol</p>

<p>nd i found the writing more difficult that the sat in jan (in which i got screwed) so du ull think the curve will be more linient ??</p>

<p>^ yeah I noticed that there were few “no errors” too~ I thought it was just me haha
does anyone remember which of the questions were “No error”?</p>

<p>From what i recall, i found 2 no errors</p>

<p>I found 2 or 3. </p>

<p>Was the the about the actors “being scarcely believable” a no error? It was the one I was debating on…</p>

<p>I think that was a no error…don’t remember</p>

<p>If I remember correctly, I also got 2 No errors</p>

<p>I got 1-2 no errors. not that many tho.</p>

<p>^ darks0ulz, me too. I had a tough time with that haha…I chose “being” as an error but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong :(</p>

<p>Oh, my bad. my answer is probably wrong.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the exact wording of the question?</p>

<p>Yeah the “being” tripped me up. </p>

<p>There was also a tricky error about the sentence about some organization. (It was one of the last 3-4 sentences.) “Their” was an error. Its a plural pronoun but the subject was singular. It sounded right but the pronouns didn’t agree…</p>

<p>Yeah was that “the board” one? I remmeber that.</p>

<p>could the actor one be “to be scarcely believable”? I chose no error, but I’m just wondering since I don’t remember the exact wording. I was told that “being” is often wrong, but I HAVE come across questions where “being” is actually fine.</p>

<p>not only was it ___ as being scarcely believeable</p>

<p>i put being as the error because it had to be ‘were’ instead of ‘being’… just because the phrase before “as” was past tense… I THINK. i maybe wrong</p>

<p>also yeah stupid error on that building construction one… for some reason i put the error as “one” 8-)</p>

<p>the answer is “will be attaching” i think</p>

<p>Do you remember any other choices for the board one? I don’t remember the question :(</p>

<p>Yeah it was the board question.</p>

<p>I don’t think “to be” would’ve worked in the sentence. I tried substituting it in but it didn’t make sense. I just chose no error as I couldn’t figure out if anything as actually wrong with it.</p>

<p>I think the sentence was like Not only was it _<strong><em>, the actors were </em></strong> as being scarcely believable. Not really sure about the sentence order.</p>

<p>What about improving paragraphs ?</p>

<p>I know that I got the “someone and I” question wrong. Some time ago some bozo told me that saying “name here and I” is correct in that context and I was influenced by that xD… So I assumed there was no error. I think in the end I got 3 with no error.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what the answer was to the second last question about Nelson Mandela. I can’t remember what I put, but I remember tripping up on that one a bit…</p>

<p>I remember there was a question about Mandela ; dont remember anything more about it :)</p>

<p>Was it Mandela <em>became</em> president of his country? Don’t remember</p>

<p>It was something like:</p>

<p>The South African Government sentenced Nelson Mandela to jail for almost 30 years, but he later became president of his country</p>

<p>Can’t remember the options, but I had a suspicion that some of them mixed up the subjects “The South African Government” and “Mandela”.</p>
