<p>@NewAccount…i’m supa jealous</p>
<p>Ok after thinking about this forever, putting myself back in the test looking at the answer choices, I am pretty sure I put a comma, after erasing the answer choice that didn’t include a comma.
This took a lot of thinking.

Goinna pass ouwt noaw.`1 -_-</p>
<p>No, I was just asking out of curiosity lol…I seriously think he’s taken it 5+ times, and as I recall he’s gotten a 34… so…I don’t really know why he’s bothering.</p>
<p>Oh haha. Sorry about that then.</p>
<p>Yes over 5 times lol</p>
<p>And is “on what” correct?</p>
<p>I still dont see it. I thought all the answer choices sucked to be honest.</p>
<p>it was “on what” not doubt</p>
<p>Yes over 5 times lol</p>
<p>If you got a 34, why would take it again?
34 is a great score and in no way would getting a higher score will lock you in for top ivies even.
I think you just wasted a saturday morning.</p>
<p>To tell you all the truth, I wouldn’t even be worried by a 32 (what I got last time) if you are woryring about applying to Ivies. That is roughly equivalent to a 1430 or so, which would never hurt your chance of admission; I recently heard an adcom of UPenn say, “a 1400 is the same as a 1520 to us”. Now I know if Silver or NewJersey saw this post, they would say otherwise. I disagree.</p>
<p>Well officially, the rule is about EQUAL coordinate adjectives.</p>
<p>That is, if shimmering describes “colored lights” then there is no comma. If colored and shimmering describe lights equally, then there is a comma. This seems subject to a little debate.</p>
<p>Example:
The walking dead man. “Walking” describes “dead man” and there is no comma. Yet it may seem ok to say the “Walking and dead man”.</p>
<p>Personally I put a comma. But I know people better at grammar who put it without one.</p>
<p>what did you guys put for the first english question? i chose the one with two commas(,____,)</p>
<p>“Walking and dead man”.</p>

<p>^refer to that website.
Another way to test out the choice is by asking yourself “Can you reverse the order of the adjectives and keep the same meaning?”</p>
<p>You can say “colored, shimmering” lights.
But you cannot say dead walking man. Therefore you do not need a comma in the scenario of the walking dead man.</p>
<p>The lights were not shimmering colored…without a comma it would mean that the lights were shimmering colored. The comma is essential. The shimmering, colored lights - The lights were shimmering AND colored - not shimmering colored</p>
<p>“Walking and dead man”.</p>
<p>That does not make any sense. It sounds awkward</p>
<p>? which question was that fresh</p>
<p>^that was a made up example</p>
<p>ohh phewf thank god</p>
<p>downfall that is an incomplete rule.</p>
<p>Fresh101:
Correct: The former secret agent had to change her identity.</p>
<p>I’m just saying you guys shouldn’t be overconfident. If shimmering describes “colored lights”, there is no comma! That is all. I am praying that with a comma is correct…</p>
<p>Does anyone remember getting superlative answer choices on two questions? The first was something like, “Freshest” and something, and the other was "best"or something?</p>
<p>^yea i got that.</p>
<p>yeah i chose that because she chose them amongst other fruits</p>
<p>questionmark, that’s exactly what I said. If the lights were “shimmering colored” then there would not be a comma because shimmering would be describing colored - “shimmering colored lights”. If the lights were shimmering and colored, and both words were describing the word “lights”, a comma would need to be present - “shimmering, colored lights”</p>
