June 2010 Writing

<p>What about the one with the emperor of China and how he liked drama or something. He built schools for children?</p>

<p>It’s all good ugaboga, 3 wrong with a 12 essay may very well be an 800.</p>

<p>I thought that one was no error. It is supposedly any types (should be any other types).</p>

<p>Oh really? I got a 660 last time, so 740 or above would be amazing. I finished the 2 pages, had 3 solid examples, so I think im good there. Thanks.</p>

<p>The art critic question with “That” was No Error. The Chinese drama thing was like “all types” or something. </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I had only one No Error, but I don’t remember which one. I’m pretty sure I put No Error for the art critic one.</p>

<p>What would you get with -0 MC and a 6 essay? I SUCK at timed writings. In January, I got a 2 because I completely spaced out during the essay. :(</p>

<p>@Malcontent, 700.</p>

<p>Let’s make an MC/essay matrix prediction.
Template:</p>

<p>(MC, Essay)</p>

<p>(49,12)= , (49,11)= , (49,10)= , (49,9)= , (49,8)=
(48,12)= , (48,11)= , (48,10)= , (48,9)= , (48,8)=

<p>^Like a 750-760. I agree that the essay topic sucks. I didn’t do very hot on writing this time. At least I have an 800 W from January to add to my superscore.</p>

<p>Wait, I don’t understand how does essay effect your score? Is it 1/3 of score? How is it factored in?</p>

<p>Wasn’t the “That the…” question vigorously? How does vigorously describe a way that something is critiqued?</p>

<p>the essay is 240 points</p>

<p>How is intent about no error? Its improper idiom, you would normally use intent on.</p>

<p>(MC, Essay)</p>

<p>(49,12)=800 , (49,11)=800, (49,10)=800 , (49,9)=780 , (49,8)= 770
(48,12)=800 , (48,11)=800, (48,10)=770 , (48,9)=760 , (48,8)= 740
(47,12)=800 , (47,11)=780 , (47,10)=750 , (47,9)=730 , (47,8)= 710
(46,12)= , (46,11)= , (46,10)= , (46,9)= , (46,8)=
(45,12)= , (45,11)= , (45,10)= , (45,9)= , (45,8)=

<p>Ethereality, how sure are you that “intent about” is correct? I’m almost certain it should’ve been “intent on”. I can’t find anything on the Interwebs about it, so I’m kind of nervous now. :3</p>

<p>This isn’t a very reliable OR informative source, but it’s the only kind of proof I can find saying that “intent about” isn’t right…:
<a href=“Intend to[/url] - definition of intend to[/url] by The Free Dictionary”>Intend to&lt;/a&gt - definition of intend to&lt;/a&gt by The Free Dictionary;
<a href=“Intend about[/url] - definition of intend about[/url] by The Free Dictionary”>Intend about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt - definition of intend about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt by The Free Dictionary;

<p>^ that’s what I was put on the test… hoping it’s right so I can get 49 raw.</p>

<p>Okay, every word does not necessarily have one correct idiomatic extension. You can say:</p>

<p>I am intent TO do this.
I am intent ON doing this.
I am intent ABOUT doing this.</p>

<p>Edit: *expression</p>

<p>Intent about worked in that scenario.</p>

<p>The question with the politician who was going to be a doctor but then got injured in a war - wasn’t that a no error?</p>

<p>yes it was choice A.</p>

<p>lol, wrong thread. :)</p>

<p>Is there any hope for this writing curve to be in the red area?

<p>This writing section seemed harder than usual. There are a few controversial questions…</p>
