<p>My teacher this year failed to teach us any grammar. He claims that we can learn on our own and that it’s a waste of time.</p>
<p>The shimmering colored lights question still bothers me… I did put a comma between them but the more I read the less certain I get.</p>
<p>[Commas</a> with Equal Adjectives](<a href=“http://www.newsroom101.com/NR2/grammar/comma/equal.html]Commas”>http://www.newsroom101.com/NR2/grammar/comma/equal.html)</p>
<p>Is “colored lights” a noun phrase?</p>
<p>I assumed ‘colored’ described ‘lights’. ‘Shimmering’ and ‘colored’ both describe ‘lights’ and therefore there needs to be a comma. Don’t worry about it, you did fine. ;)</p>
<p>Well the tall young man. Tall and young both describe man - but because “young man” is a noun phrase, no comma is needed.</p>
<p>I just think that colored lights is so awkward and uncommonly used. Think of pointing out Christmas lights as “Look at the colored lights!” I would believe that it would be a comma. Does anyone know the answer choices or which choice the one with the comma was?</p>
<p>Hmm w/e I’m dropping it.</p>
<p>So there was a who vs whom thingy… I put who, NOT whom… agreed?</p>
<p>Agreed. The answer was who.</p>
<p>^I third that.</p>
<p>^Fourth. Haha. I think it’s safe to say that this can be considered to be confirmed by now.</p>
<p>skaggs - are you still on track for a 36?</p>
<p>I am. Without the high curve that I want for science, it’s going to be close (35.625 currently). Of course, CR curve could be +3 instead of +1 like I’m imagining, so that would help. We’ll see!</p>
<p>Same here! Except I doubt reading will have a -3=36 curve. It will be at best-1=36, probably -1=35. Same with all others.</p>
<p>What was the sentence with the who vs whom? I can’t remember.</p>
<p>I 5th that, I ALMOST put whom… But I remember many pretests that were worded that way and the answer was “who”</p>
<p>Oh, I definitely doubt that reading will have a +3. That was complete wishful thinking. Probably 0 for English, 0 or +1 for Math, +1 or +2 for CR (probably +1, wasn’t too difficult overall), and +1 for Science.</p>
<p>What was the who/whom sentence saying?</p>
<p>My realistic goal is a 34.5. I hope the curve lets me pull it off. Looks pretty good so far!</p>
<p>I honestly hope the curve goes toward the CR, that was my weakness on the test. The English was easy overall (I think I missed about -15, I mean it’s not amazing but hey-- it’s still about a 27/28). On my essay I think I got a 9/10. That will increase my English by 2-3 points. The math, I would love a curve, because then it would increase my score :), I think the science was one of my highest (from the thread, I only missed one from what I’ve seen).</p>
<p>what about the one in the first passage where it said do you keep “It took long for the girl to learn how to prepare three courses?”. I said take it out because it’s about her philosophy.</p>
<p>Also, on the last passage the last question said why take out the sentence like “of course, some people don’t hear the things.” I said take it out because it undermines what was said earlier?</p>
<p>Anyone?</p>
<p>^agree on both of your answers.</p>
