June 2010 Writing

<p>did anyone get --“but only with reluctance” ? (maybe in section 10)
the question was about a family cat admitting another kitten</p>

<p>@danokgh: yea that’s right (it’s A)</p>

<p>Any Americans with writing experimentals want to confirm what both the sections were about?</p>

<p>I noticed that on the consolidated list there was a delete the sentence for the improving paragraph. I am pretty sure you guys completely made up that answer choice, but if you didn’t, what was the question exactly?</p>

<p>^^It was about how kittens wave their tails when they’re both happy and sad, but it didn’t fit anywhere, so the answer was just delete it.</p>

<p>I took June SAT in South Korea and obviously there seems to be a lot going on on whether what section was experimental.</p>

<p>I had total three Writing sections with two 35 question ones
One had a passage about braces and the other had about Serena&Venus Williams</p>

<p>I’ve read most of you saying Williams one is experimental
but to me it seems that nobody’s really read the braces one in US
so I’m guessing that the braces one could be the real experimental one.</p>

<p>Which Writing section did you have?</p>

<p>ugh, i wrote about the relationship between Cates and Rachel in Inherit the Wind, and i also wrote about Of Mice and Men… but i said Lenny in stead or Lennie and i called George Ernie…
I also compared Democrats to Republicans because their views are opposing but they both are interested in politics. i used my observations of the presidential election of 2008.</p>

<p>’ a woman who would have “went” to college — should be “would have gone” '</p>

<p>ok for this one, there was a choice D i think that i went back and put. anyone know the full sentence? cause i feel like “went” mightve been right.</p>

<p>I am American and I had a writing experimental whose passage was about film adaptations of books. My real writing section’s passage was about cats purring.</p>

<p>Guys, “intent about” is perfectly correct. You only use “intent to” when what follows is a verb in the infinitive, like: I was intent to get an 800. But what followed was a gerund, a noun, so that would make the sentence: I was intent to getting an 800. Whenever a noun follows, the idiom changes “to” to “about”, hence: I was intent about getting an 800.</p>

<p>…intent on ? intent on getting an 800 kid.</p>

<p>any predictions for 48MC/10 essay?</p>

<p>^Questions like that are always no error if both forms work.</p>

<p>Sooo, were there two no errors or just one?</p>

<p>I’d say two.</p>

<p>I got more than 1 no error, but that speaks more to what my score will turn out to be than what the actual right answers are.</p>

<p>I’m not counting on an 800, I never was. Never imagined I’d get even close. Don’t think I did get close actually.</p>

<p>But my big accomplishment this time around was being able to finish each section. This only ever happened when I took the PSAT for the third time this year as well. Every practice test, every SAT before - I’ve always run out of time. Sooo… I’m pretty happy. I may take it again because I’ve realized how many stupid mistakes I made, but I’m content.</p>

<p>Which two were they?</p>

<p>The one with “That” as the subject
The one with “intent about”</p>

<p>they were 24 (the intent about question) and 29 (that the fashion critic…came as no surprise)</p>

<p>I thought That was the error. I also thought intent about was wrong. ****. Thats 3 wrong.</p>
