<p>for my essay i wrote about andrew jackson and that he discriminated against cherokees.
would u consider that a flaw of his?
now that i think about it, discrimination doesn’t really seem like a flaw.
if not, am i completely screwd or what?
my the other two examples actually mention flaws…</p>
<p>I’m saying more is wrong…but I thought beautiful nerd was saying it was right. But oh well…maybe I just cant read. Now my only worry is that I accidentially filled out the wrong bubbles. I just took a practice ACT for tomorrow and didnt bubble but wrote out my answer as A-E. I wrote one wrong…so ya kinda nervous.</p>
<p>rlag-</p>
<p>Psh Andrew Jackson was so flawless he was almost a diety. Anyway… while I disagree with you about the Indian Removal Policy being a flaw of his, I can practically guarentee you that the reader wont see it my way at all, so you are golden as long as you can fluently express your point of view.</p>
<p>i think i did a moderate job on expressing my view.
i was only worried that they will count off for not being consistent with the topic.</p>
<p>na ur fine</p>
<p>rlaghdcks, i think that discrimination can be counted as a major flaw. therefore, i think you’re fine.</p>
<p>hey, did anyone get the sentence error question with ‘around’ as one of the choices? (sorry if this has already been discussed)</p>
<p>the quetsion was like… AROUND 300 to 500 years ago… something liike that with ‘around’ as one of the choices.
i said ‘around’ was wrong, because shuodln’t it have been ‘about’? </p>
<p>also it might have been my experimental section because i had 3 writing.
thanks!</p>
<p>i didnt read through all of this. but was one of the answers “continually” and should have been changed to “continuously”</p>
<p>also i only gave one example on the essay (althoguh i did expand it to fill 1.75 pages)
will this automatically cause me to be scored lower, or is 1 example fine?
thanks!</p>
<p>automatically? no…depends on how you used that one example. 1.75 is a lot so if you explanied it well, you can still get 10+ easily.</p>
<p>but why are you sterssing? we get our scores back 1 1/2 weeks…no need to think about it over and over agian.</p>

<p>I wouldnt worry about it AT ALL. One of the collegeboard example essays in the blue book that got a 6 only used one elaborate example. I, on the other hand, am slightly concerned because I had two examples in my only body paragraph. However, I thought my analysis of those examples was great so I am not too worried.</p>
<p>if I used an athlete and a singer as my examples, would the people grading my essay give me a low score? unfortunately, i did not use any works of literature or personal experience as my example</p>
<p>you guys know the question with dramatically underlined? was that the error in the sentence?</p>
<p>Do you think there’s a grading bias with regard to the number of examples you use?</p>
<p>dbc9todd- No, there isnt. The graders place emphasis on the strength of your argument. Intro and conclusion are actually negligible in scoring (unless they are breathtaking). If you have only one example and you show the depth of your knowledge within that one example, while tying it directly to the question posed, you should get 11-12. </p>
<p>I used one example for the main essay Thoreau’s influence on Gandhi and I got a 12.</p>
<p>And for the mountain lions question, I put “no error” and I still got an 80 on the MC scaled score.</p>
<p>dbc9todd- There is a bias on length of the paper, however. Long papers are awarded high scores.</p>
<p>I wrote 3 solid examples (Macbeth, Martha Stewart, and Bernie Madoff) and filled all of the paper (I didn’t get to my conclusion) and I only scored a 9.</p>
<p>I am tempted to get it rescored, but whatever. I don’t care.</p>
<p>I can’t really remember the question for the mountain lions one, but I think I put “some of.” I definitely didn’t put “no error.” I also got an 80, so who knows.</p>
<p>I got an 11 on the essay. I used three examples and wrote a full two pages but the third was very rushed (I blanked out at the beginning because I hadn’t really prepared for the essay).</p>
<p>@secret - yes I think “one of” was incorrect (= correct answer)</p>
<p>I got 800 in writing (but idk what I got on M/C)</p>
<p>^. I got an 80 on the scaled score or whatever. So I think I got all the mc correct. And that’s what I put.</p>
