Major Essay Mistake

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Okay, so I made an EXTREMELY stupid mistake on the essay. I'm really hoping this doesn't completely screw up my score, because I thought I did a fairly good job on the essay itself.</p>

<p>So I folded over the pages, and started writing on the WRONG page. So when I finished writing my first page, I realized I wrote it on the second page.</p>

<p>So basically, the second page of my essay is on the first page, and my first page is on the second.</p>

<p>My proctor just had me put page numbers at the top of the pages.</p>

<p>I know this is an extremely stupid mistake, I don't even know how I managed to do it.</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea what this is going to mean for my score?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for the help.</p>

<p>I don’t think this should really affect your score. I think they make copies of all three pages for the readers, or that the readers flip through all three pages. So you should be set. If they don’t see a page one obviously they’ll search through the other pages.</p>

<p>lol man i would be ****ting my pants</p>

<p>edit: man they censor too many words…</p>

4

<p>Probably won’t mean much. The readers aren’t stupid.</p>

5

<p>If I put one fact in my essay that is incorrect (the age required to be a president) can i still get a 12 jumpoff?</p>

6

<p>yeah, you can make up stuff for your essay.</p>

7

<p>Yes but dont you think if the reader knows the actual age is 35, my arguement will be lessened?</p>

8

<p>um… no.</p>

9

<p>Both of you should be fine.</p>

10

<p>the readers will not memorize what age you have to be to be president. they just want to see if you are capable of writing.</p>

11

<p>According to my essay, Woodrow Wilson also goes by the name Winston Churchill…</p>

<p>Sad face.</p>
