<p>Dont Die On Me Thread!!</p>

1162

<p>When i read the link given in a previous post, I'm still thinking power of phrase instead of motivation... that's just what i see (read) when i read the thing...</p>

<p>:)</p>

1163

<p>Don't worry, this thread will be around for a while. Did anyone have a question about the California Gold Rush for the grammer section? If so, what did you put? I think this might have been in the grammer experimental section I had.</p>

1164

<p>sounds experimental</p>

1165

<p>x^2<x^3<x...all the other ones could work based on the properties of negative and positive whole numbers or fractions, but this one does not.</p>

1166

<p>yeah that one was all about elimination</p>

1167

<p>I think I bombed my essay (west coast. the one on creativity)</p>

<p>I wrote about how people like creativity and why its essential. I also wrote that although people like creativity, creativity has become harder and harder to come by. I also had a stupid example. I mean, I wrote aout Picasso when the prompt asked me about the IMPORTANCE of CREATIVITY IN TODAYS WORLD. The other example is on cell phones. </p>

<p>What do you guys think, did I go offtopic?</p>

<p>And oh does anyone remember the question where it deals with water an buckets or something and there is a graph?</p>

<p>Currently I think 1 math question wrong. Bombed the essay thus a low writi score and medicore CR. Sigh, there does my projected 2250. Curse you essay!</p>

1168

<p>I think the one with the buckets is 1/3, or a certain combination of 1s and 3s... but Im pretty sure it was 1/3. What was the question?</p>

<p>:)</p>

1169

<p>Thats the problem. I thought the question was relatively easy because it seemed so sstraightforward but i think i got an 8 somewhere ;/.</p>

1170

<p>thats the most retardedest smiley face i ever saw.</p>

1171

<p>I guess I'm lost... lol, but what "curve" in the SAT is everybody talking about?? What is that?</p>

1172

<p>Go to <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=40759&highlight=Curve+SAT+hard%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=40759&highlight=Curve+SAT+hard&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Once you get past the shock of the OP's curve and the other CCers' arguments, you'll find information on CB's curve and how it's determined.</p>

<p>Vehement...I think our essays were very similar (except I didn't talk about cell phones). Um...great minds think alike?</p>
