<p>Thanks for the link! But how can I download it :?</p>
<p>If you scroll down (not in the document) there’s a green button. You click that and then you have to sign up. After you sign up, you just click the green button again and then you can download it. I haven’t downloaded this document, but I did download the Testmasters 2000 word list.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please don’t tell me you are going to memorize that :o!</p>
<p>IceQube, aren’t you Chinese? Can’t you read Chinese…? 
</p>
<p>For anyone who is Chinese, what is this website’s purpose(wenku.baidu.com)? They have so much info about SAT…</p>
<p>Well, I’m a sophomore right now, and I have time. And, I think it will really help me not only on the SAT, but also in life. Along with the Testmasters I’m going to do PR The Hit Parade, and 300 Essential Words, and the vocabulary from the book I read. Because today alone, I got almost all of the SC questions wrong, and I really need to improve in that department of the SAT.</p>
<p>@Jeffery Jung, I was about to say the exact same thing. That website has a tremendous amount of SAT information. If only, there was someone who could read Chinese.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I thought you were Chinese … judging by your name. Or is it German - as in Carl Jung?</p>
<p>LOLZ! I used Google Translate and this is what I could understand. When you see a gold coin with the number zero you could download that document for free with a signed up account. If it’s greater than zero you have to “pay” to get it. What I meant “pay” is that you have to upload a document that you would like the site visitors to see and set a number between 1-100. The number represents the “coins” you’ll get when people pay for your download. I know this because of Google Translate and known this website for about a month xD. (Sorry if my English is bad D:!)</p>
<p>Grade my essay please honestly and give me an actual number. Criticism welcome and appreciated. There are a few subject verb agreement errors and capitalization is a little erratic. Please tell me the main things to improve upon. Sorry for using such a platitudinous example as well but it is really the first thing that came to mind. </p>
<p>Prompt: Many people believe that our government should do more to solve our problems. After all, how can one individual create more jobs or make roads safer or improve the schools or help to provide any of the other benefits that we have come to enjoy? And yet expecting that the government --rather than the individuals–should always come up with the solutions to society’s ills may have made us less self-reliant, undermining our independence and self sufficiency.</p>
<p>Should people take more responsibility for solving problems that affect their communities or the nation in general?</p>
<p>That the people should take more responsibility for solving problems that affect the whole nation is a concept beautifully displayed by the civil rights movement of the 1960s.</p>
<p>After the civil war in the 19th century many thought the problem of slavery and racism would end; however, these problems remained rampant especially in the south. Leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, although believing in vastly idfferent methods of achieving their goals, sought to bring the nation together to pass civil rights legislation and pressed lawmakers. Although president Eisenhower was weary of passing civil rights legislation the supreme court passed a bill that would solve a problem of the whole nation, segregation in schools. In Brow versus the Board of Education the Supreme Court overturned its previous ruling in Plessy versus Ferguson that “separate but equal facilities” were constitutional. This was epochal. Had the North only worried about solving problems that affect their community, the Brown versus Board of would have never occurred because the South detested the decision fervently. This decision proved to be the first of many decisions that gave blacks rights and that would have not been possible had the people in the North not taken a concern what was occurring outside their community and in the nation as a whole. </p>
<p>After violence toward peaceful civil rights protesters was broadcasted into televisions across the Northern seaboard, many people in the North began to realize that it is paramount to take responsibility for social wrongs occurring throughout the nation, not just in the north. This lead to pressure on Congress to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which gave blacks equal treatment in the workforce and military. This legislation would have been impossible without the support of the north.</p>
<p>As demonstrated by the collaboration of the north and the south, in order to right social wrongs people must take responsibility to solve problems that affect the entire nation.</p>
<hr>
<p>I feel one thing that I need to improve upon is that my conclusion does not tie back to the question but rather to my example more. Does anyone else think this?</p>
<p>Jeffery you’re of Asian descent I am pretty sure. I have seen your picture on FB lol Since your last name is one syllable I am going to assume Chinese or Korean although I have known to be wrong.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha… I’m not… Chinese… 
I don’t think “Jung” can be a Chinese surname.</p>
<p>I know a Chinese girl with the last name Jung…</p>
<p>and GRADE MY ESSAY!!!1111one</p>
<p>Jung is Korean, right?</p>
<p>Quick gerund question!</p>
<p>For this sentence:
“To keep your engine running in the freezing cold is a good way to keep the car’s interior warm and cozy.”
How do you know if you have to change the gerund to an infinitive or the other way around? It seems kinda obvious for this one but some times I can’t tell if I should use gerund/infinitive when both are present.
Thanks!</p>
<p>I found these writing questions on that Chinese website and someone has compiled all of the Writing QOD in one PDF File. Here is the PDF file (so you don’t have to download from the Chinese website): [SAT</a> Writing Questions - Minus](<a href=“http://min.us/mmAAG3qEm]SAT”>http://min.us/mmAAG3qEm)</p>
<p>^That is THE MOST USEFUL PDF EVER :). I can feel it - I’m getting a 2400 :D.</p>
<p>–</p>
<p>Here are some hard writing questions from the above PDF (I will provide answers and explanations below). </p>
<p>1) Like the area in and around the Rocky Mountains, the Western Basins and Plateau region of the US offer much for the tourist. No error</p>
<p>2) Marsalis emerged as as one of the great trumpeters of the late 20th century, winning Grammy awards for both his jazz and even classical works. No error</p>
<p>–</p>
<p>Answers</p>
<p>1) “Offer” does not agree with the subject, “region.” Note the modifier - “Like the area,” which is singular and NOT underlined. Now look at what the modifier is modifying - “the Western Basins and Plateau region,” which is also NOT underlined. That is sufficient evidence that the subject is SINGULAR. Therefore, “offer” must be changed to “offers.” </p>
<p>At first glance, this question is bound to throw off a large proportion of test-takers, and even the more astute ones will think that “Western Basins and Plateau region” is a compound subject and thereby plural and therefore “offer” is correct. But the people who earn 2400s - the ones with that unerring perspicacity - see through this rather devious trick like a X-ray sees through flesh. This question is truly one that separates the pretenders from the contenders.</p>
<p>2) The construction “both…and” must be followed by grammatically similar elements. Therefore, the original sentence should read “both his jazz and his classical.” This too, is another question that is bound to throw off the unprepared and even the prepared who recognize the basic “both…and” structure as correct. The 2400 students recognize that the “both…and” structure must be followed by grammatically similar elements. Example below:</p>
<p>Both his clairvoyance and his focus …</p>
<p>Can someone elaborate more on this sentence?</p>
<p>3) On August 27, 2883, four gigantic volcanic explosions, heard more than 3000 miles away, occurred on the island of Krakatoa, expelling about 5 cubic miles of debris to the atmosphere. No error</p>
<p>4) From its modest beginnings *as a series of brief vignettes to its establishment as the longest-running prime-time animated series on TV, the Simpsons transformed the way both the audiences and TV programmers view the animated sitcom. No error</p>
<p>5) The origin of amusement parks lie in ancient and medieval religious festivals and trade fairs, where merchants, entertainers, and food sellers gathered in order to take advantage of the large crowds. </p>
<p>6) According to a 1772 English law abolishing slavery, any enslaved person who enters England would be set free. </p>
<p>–</p>
<p>Answers</p>
<p>3) Incorrect idiom “to.” When should we use “to” and when should we use “into” … someone elaborate please :).</p>
<p>4) Again, the “both … and” construction here is not parallel; the extra “the” fudges up the parallelism.</p>
<p>5) Origin: singular. Lie: plural.</p>
<p>6) This one just sounds wrong. But can someone explain why “enters” is incorrect?</p>
<ol>
<li>You know this one…</li>
</ol>
<p>7) Shakespeare is said to have learned to fence at the Theatre, most probably under the instruction of Vincentio, who arrived in London when the young playwright had been 26. </p>
<p>8) The United States is the largest producer of cranberries and cranberry products, most of them are consumed there and in Canada. </p>
<p>–</p>
<p>Answers</p>
<p>7) The sentence is correct as written. The past perfect is used here, and is used correctly. The past perfect is formed by combining “had” with a past participle - in this case - the past participle is “been.” You can brush up on grammatical tenses using my flashcards: </p>
<p>[Grammatical</a> Tenses flashcards | Quizlet](<a href=“http://quizlet.com/9348039/grammatical-tenses-flash-cards/]Grammatical”>http://quizlet.com/9348039/grammatical-tenses-flash-cards/)</p>
<p>The past perfect is used to refer to an event in the so-called “deep past” - or in other words - to an event that preceded an event in the past. </p>
<p>I had turned in the test before I remembered the all the correct answers. Sequence of events: </p>
<p>1) I turned in the test.
2) I remembered all the correct answers. (WHOOPS :p!) </p>
<p>I had left by the time you arrived. Sequence of events:</p>
<p>1) I left.
2) You arrived. (LATE!) </p>
<p>[He] arrived in London when the young playwright had been 26. Sequence of events:</p>
<p>1) Shakespeare - the young playwright - turned 26.
2) The dude arrived in London.</p>
<p>8) I first thought there was a pronoun issue, but the actual issue is at C; the sentence is suffering from a comma splice and to ameliorate the issue “them” needs to be changed to the relative pronoun “which” to correctly subordinate the second clause.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Sure, I intuitively know, but can you explain it in grammatical terms? Couldn’t the law still be in effect today? In that case, shouldn’t “enters” be correct?</p>
