house was 5? dont tell me i got it wrong

i think i got 6 for the house one.</p>

<p>I had Pink Pearl, I think. But I didn't really use it much, as I took care to pick out pencils with nice erasers. :)</p>

<p>Wasn't obvious to me. I thought that in the end he wanted both parties to be annihilated by the UN peacekeepers in a frenzy of gore and bloodlust. And then he wanted their candy.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the actual question for the sentence completion involving Mona Lisa? The thing really confused me and I know I picked a wrong answer, probably perfectionist, but I'm not sure.</p>

<p>Maybe I should burn my calculator and join the New York Times ;)</p>

<p>Isn't it so amazing how many proctors (I assume teachers) screw up keeping track of time. And these people are supposed to be teaching the future of America - I swear all people like that are the biggest idiots in the world.</p>

<p>This was discussed waaaay back. I put potentate.</p>

<p>Hey, mine was smart.</p>

<p>I put potentate as well.</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the significance of repeating the word 'conventional' on the architecture passage?</p>

<p>I'm asking about the actual question though. I remember that it used an adjective for a certain group of people. It probably wasn't significant but i can't get it out of my head.</p>

<p>I'm almost positive my proctor screwed up the essay time by at least a minute or two. I think I have a good sense of how long it's been, and I definitely didn't think we were <em>quite</em> up to 25 minutes when the alarm thing beeped.</p>

<p>Then, it was an alarm clock.</p>

<p>Mine could barely read. I now harbor an intense hatred to fat, middle-aged teachers who wear pink shirts and glasses.</p>

<p>Not the chocolate!</p>

<p>Merge...he made the whole point about how he wished that the tapes were combined and their voices meshed together in one unified track...thing.</p>

<p>UN peacekeepers rock, by the way. Their cyan helmets are awesome. Totally unnoticeable.</p>

<p>the pails one was easy it was 1/3.</p>

<p>No, actually, I was in the middle of my second supporting detail paragraph of an essay, and I was cut short - I was writing about President Bush's decision as to what to do about 9/11, and I still got a 5 on it => it was a practice one graded by professional AP English Teachers, specializing in the New SAT Writing Section Essay. They will grade your essay hollistically, and on overall CONTENT. Which means that a conclusion will not matter all that much. </p>

<p>Today my conclusion was just like 1 or 2 sentences; the conclusion just sums up whatever has already been said.</p>

<p>was one of the answers he wanted to consider both perspectives to get insight..i think the question was what was his original intention</p>

<p>Do you think the graders will only knock off one point for not having a conclusion but a very strong introduction and 3 body paragraphs? If they're feeling merciful? What if I send them a puppy? Or a kitty if they'd prefer.</p>
