March SAT Writing Thread

<p>if i used t jefferson and said he wrote constitution as opposed to dec of indep would that hurt score?</p>

<p>I dont think they care if the facts are perfect</p>

<p>How’d you use Thomas Jefferson and the writing of the Constitution (you mean Declaration) for this essay?</p>

<p>@MattNC I used Queen Elizabeth as a counter example hahaha</p>

<p>And did you guys agree or disagree by the way? I thought the quote was kinda confusing but I think I BSed it well. I talked about how you can’t forgive the leaders for what they did and can’t give them exceptions for breaking the law or whatever.</p>

<p>i said that he wrote the bill of rights to set the same standards for everyone (it wasn’t great)
i used Hitler in the first paragraph though</p>

<p>How about the connections with the baseball and cricket question? That was no error right?</p>

<p>I used Darth Sidious in Star Wars Episode III. Win. Also, Nixon and Macbeth… “Absolute power corrupts absolutely”… Im really hoping for a 12.</p>

<p>It was almost impossible to disagree without using argumentum ad populum. Whatever though, I’m sure some people did. The correctors aren’t going to be looking for logical fallacies, at least I don’t think.</p>

<p>I used Tiger Woods and Kim Jong Il</p>

<p>^lolwut, Tiger Woods as a leader?</p>

<p>I used “Julius Caesar” and “Mayor of Casterbridge” so not much better I suppose.</p>

<p>How is Tiger Woods a leader of a country???</p>

<p>It was leader of a country OR group. I’m still not sure what group Tiger leads though…</p>

<p>Someone else mentioned that he/she got no "C"s in his/her last section. I didn’t either. Same with anyone else? I was a bit concerned about it. I got a lot of "D"s and "E"s, though.</p>

<p>hey what score do u guys think -2 MC plus a 9 essay will be?</p>

<p>I believe the prompt asked about leader of a country or group. (highlight group). It might have been a stretch but I said that he is one of the influential leaders in golfing.</p>

<p>WhatsUp: I’d guess 740-750 range. I think I did similarly…</p>

<p>You can Tiger Woods as long as you can back it up. Kinda hard to back up though.</p>

<p>Darth Sidious wow. That is badass.</p>

<p>Oh my bad that works then</p>

<p>I didn’t get any C’s either. I was a bit worried myself.</p>

<p>can anyone make a consolidated list anyone?</p>

<p>did anyone find an error with some form of write/wrote/written
it was in identifying error section</p>
