<p>^I thought it was really easy…so, I don’t know.</p>
<p>Probably in the yellow area for all three sections.</p>
<p>^I think it might be closer to red for the CR, it was harder than usual.</p>
<p>
For that paragraph based question, was the 8th sentence somewhere around the beginning of the second paragraph?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hm, i can’t remember this one either. was it an easy one?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ugg, i hope i did not read over the hand part… hmm</p>
<p>Okay, I have more proof that “intent about” isn’t correct</p>
<p>[intent</a> about - Google Search](<a href=“intent about]intent - Google Search”>intent about - Google Search) - (No gerunds to be found after the about)
[intent</a> on - Google Search](<a href=“intent on]intent - Google Search”>intent on - Google Search) - (GERUNDS GALORE!)</p>
<p>I’m sorry, I just can’t let this go, the writing section is really messing with my psyche, especially because I KNOW I did terribly on Math and CR this time.</p>
<p>@jollybjolly i can only vaguely remember the molars question. Someone else mentioned it so I added it to the list</p>
<p>Also, i’m fairly sure that the new sentence would be placed as the second sentence of the second paragraph.</p>
<p>Can anybody give a definative answer (with a reputable source) for “intent about” vs. “intent on”. If i remember correctly, the next word was “forming”</p>
<p>“intent on forming” = 19,200 google hits
“intent about forming” = 33 google hits</p>
<p>i’m not claiming that this is absolute proof, but “intent on” + gerund seems to be a common idiomatic expression to me.</p>
<p><a href=“HugeDomains.com”>HugeDomains.com;
<p>mentions the construction to be + “intent on” + gerund
nothing with “intent about”</p>
<p>I’m becoming fairly sure that “intent about” was the error</p>
<p>Also look at this: <a href=“http://www.goenglish.com/Idioms/Intent+On+Doing+Something.asp[/url]”>http://www.goenglish.com/Idioms/Intent+On+Doing+Something.asp</a></p>
<p>In American Heritage dictionary of Idioms, there is an entry for “intent on” and nothing on “intent about”

[Vigorously</a> | Define Vigorously at Dictionary.com](<a href=“http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vigorously]Vigorously”>Vigorously Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com)
vigorously was used as an adverb that properly modified the verb “critiqued”
[url=<a href=“Google”>Google]Google[/url</a>]</p>
<p>vigorously was used properly correct?</p>
<p>^ Yes, that was used properly.</p>
<h1>29. That the works of the novice artists were critiqued vigorously by the professional, who was very accomplished…, came as no surprise to them.</h1>
<p>No error</p>
<p>^I swear, I read that like six times because it sounded just sooooo weird.</p>
<p>I thought the that part was wrong. Can anyone tell me why it’s not?</p>
<p>^If you remove “that,” the sentence becomes a fragment. I can’t think of any words that could replace it.</p>
<p>Somebody in an earlier post explained that starting a sentence with “that” is equivalent to “The fact that” and said they were 100% sure. Also, as goldysocks said, I don’t see anything you can do with “that” to make the sentence better.</p>
<p>Well I thought starting like that is wrong. Oh well. Sigh, I really want a good writing score.</p>
<p>For the record, I also thought put no error for the “intent about” question.</p>
<p>From what I’ve looked into, it looks like I am mistaken. I couldn’t find any major source that uses “intent about” in the same manner that the passage did. Regardless of the answer, I don’t think anyone really disagrees that it’s a really stupid question for a company that claims to have “college readiness tests”… but I’m going to accept defeat and move on.</p>
<p>
Same here, but I realized it should have been “intent on” as soon as someone brought it up after I took the test. It is because to be intent is to concentrate. To be intent on something is to concentrate on it. Your eyes are fixed “on” doing something. </p>
<p>And yes, I said “that” acts in the same way as “the fact that” does.
“He told me X (noun).” = “X was told to me.”
“He told me that something happened.” = “That something happened was told to me.”</p>
<p>I just felt the sentence needed a subject, not a noun phrase or w/e. Seems like I have a couple writing mistakes. Hope my essay is good.</p>
<p>if i filled up all but 2 and a half lines, and wrote an introduction paragraph, and 3 detail/support paragraphs, with just a concluding sentence (not a concluding paragraph), what score can i anticipate for my essay? I also included two or three examples. One was about debates, one about college admission officers looking for variety, and i can’t remember if i had a 3rd example.</p>
