<p>which question was “succeeded at”? was it an error ID?</p>

It was an error ID. I can’t remember the question though.
I remember it was directly above or below the Ultimate Frisbee question.</p>
<p>how badly do u get penalized if ur historical facts arent so accurate but they make a good point?</p>
<p>@nerdess</p>
<p>my two examples were yossarian from catch-22 and galileo vs the catholic church</p>
<p>i more or less took up all the space. then again last time i did that, i only got a 10. hoping for an 11 this time xD</p>
<p>You can’t get penalized for historical inaccuracies.</p>
<p>^so you can just make stuff up, or do you have to have the general idea?</p>
<p>and by the way, I feel bad for the writing thread. the CR and math thread could eat it.</p>
<p>^
Yes, you can make stuff up. If you say that the Holocaust didn’t exist (just an example), you are not <strong>supposed</strong> to get penalized.</p>

<p>You can say basically whatever you want, as long as it is relevant to your argument.</p>
<p>haha well there goes the last bit of faith I had in the essay not being complete bs.</p>
<p>^ Lol. Unless you’re from Stormfront, a Neo-Nazi, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I doubt you’re going to say the Holocaust didn’t exist. And although the grader isn’t supposed to penalize you for such a, err, mistake, I’m sure you’d lose at least one point from each grader.</p>
<p>2 out of my 3 examples were completely made up.</p>
<p>One was about the SEC seeing a 23% increase in filing violations after Enron. The other was about a South American dictator of Guatemala who had lax building codes.</p>
<p>Both sound plausible, but I made up lots of little details that I wouldn’t want to waste time trying to remember from real examples.</p>
<p>Ahh, I wish I had known you could make things up. I always waste my essay time brainstorming examples.</p>
<p>You can make up facts as long as you have a nice, lengthy essay that flows and makes you sound smart.</p>
<p>what do you guys think 1 MC wrong and a 10 essay will get?</p>
<p>for some reason, quoted posts aren’t showing up for me. maybe i’m doing something wrong.</p>
<p>yeah, in section 10…i was feeling really burned out, and usually though i’m very much a copy editor kind of person…i couldn’t make anything out of the “candidate received support from the youth ____”
what is the correct answer and other choices?</p>
<p>I remember that question but I can’t seem to remember the choices!</p>
<p>wait, wasn’t the prompt about passion vs. moderation? what’s this about leaders?</p>
<p>This is how you quote:</p>
<p>[quXte]blah blah blah[/quXte]</p>
<p>Substitute o for X.</p>
