June 2010 Writing

<p>I need to learn the had/have rules before October.</p>

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I’m thinking my essay was really disasterous. </p>

<p>One of my examples was sweet, but the other was lacking, if not entirely illogical. </p>

<p>Anyone care to evaluate if I send a PM?</p>

<p>Are you guys certain “intent about” is incorrect usage? I know intent on is a better fit but I put no error because I didn’t think it was incorrect.</p>

<p>im pretty sure that intent about it wrong i believe it shouldve been intent on</p>

<p>I think intent on is one of those idioms. :/</p>

<p>yea looks like you guys are right. I’m a grammar junkie but as far as idioms go, I just fail. It sounded funny, but like half the test sounds funny to me…</p>

<p>Looks like the only no error was on the most awkwardly worded sentence out there. Thanks ETS >></p>

<p>wait have we established which was the experimental? is it the one with the Serena and Venus William one or is it the other one?</p>

<p>It is an idiom, but maybe the past tense changes it…I am no grammer master…what did other people put?</p>

<p>Williams Sisters was experimental.</p>

<p>I didn’t have the serena or venus one I don’t think…</p>

<p>I don’t think past tense could change intent on to intent about though. :/</p>

<p>Can I expect an 800 with -2 wrong, and a 10 essay?</p>

<p>^ I’m wondering that too…guess it depends on the curve.</p>

<p>@YRif: No. I got -2 and 10 essay in March and got 760.</p>

<p>@YRif: No. I got -2 and 10 essay in March and got 760.

Is that a typical curve or was that just particularly harsh? D:</p>

<p>Pretty typical.</p>

<p>It’s a little harsh. -2 is usually a 75 or so in the MC, but a 10 on the essay usually raises to 770 or 780. I wouldn’t even discard 800 just yet.</p>

<p>Wait, there were 2 No Error’s right?</p>

<p>was there only 1 error?
if someone got 2 errors, please tell me which ones you thought were no error</p>

<p>I got -3 and 11 on essay and got 750 in January…</p>
