<p>what was the answer for the last question…for the no errors part? the question right before the octopus passage?
i think it was something that said: a number of…?</p>
<p>also for the “succeeded at” and “return back” questions, were those for the improving sentences section or the no error section?</p>
<p>that was discussed very early in the thread.
i can’t exactly recall anymore… but i think it was a verb tense error, it’s one of the ones that’s already on the list. go check.</p>
<p>and those were both error ID</p>
<p>What do you mean by “no errors” section? They were error IDs.</p>
<p>For the idiom error answer,</p>
<p>Succeeding in -> succeeding at</p>
<p>I remember it as,</p>
<p>succeeding on -> revised</p>
<p>Or were there two separate “succeeding” idiom errors?</p>
<p>i think there were two separate succeeding errors</p>
<p>Could I ask what the essay prompts were for the March (and if possible, January) SAT please?</p>
<p>Thank you for the help :)</p>

I don’t think so. Besides, succeeding in can sometimes be correct.</p>
<p>
Agreed and changed in list.</p>

<p>Ack, there were two separate succeeding errors…?</p>
<p>I remember “succeeding on.”</p>
<p>What were the choices for the other one (succeeding in)?</p>
<p>^Kameron: I agree that succeeding in can sometimes be correct. I identified another error in that sentence, so I don’t think it was an idiom problem.</p>
<p>“Succeeding on,” however, is definitely unidiomatic.</p>
<p>does anyone remember the sentence for succeeding on/at?</p>
<p>“return back” was number 23 if that helps anyone</p>
<p>I think I had A, then a random letter, then A again. I think my As were 5 & 7? I’m not positive though.</p>
<p>I remember three questions that aren’t on the consolidated list, though I did skip the last 24 pages of this thread:
- Something about dancers and pursuing careers; error was “their”
- Involving “each of the men at the meeting was seen as a spy” (paraphrased, it originally didn’t say “was seen as”); I picked the singular past form for “was seen as a spy”.
- One of the biggest stumpers for me: a question that started with “That _____ asserts that (something else)”. I picked A, meaning that I believed a sentence could not start with “that” (it must have something before it, like “the fact that ___ asserts…”). Otherwise, I would’ve picked E, no error.</p>
<p>Any of these may have been experimental. (There needs to be a separate topic for experimental questions, that would make it a lot easier to sort out everything?)</p>
<p>^I’m pretty sure that those were all experimental</p>
<p>how many A’s did u guys have in the last section (section 10)</p>
<p>I forget. I know I had zero C’s in the last section though.</p>
<p>what would be a -5 mc and a 10 essay? Still in the 700’s? :(</p>
