<p>What do you guys think the experimental one was for those of you who had two 25 minute writing sections? I thought one of them was easy and the other was difficult, so I am hoping the hard one was the experimental</p>

<p>wasn’t there an emphasis on ‘what’ in “what will your parents say”? doesnt that imply that Elaine wasn’t really scared and more excited than anything</p>

<p>borunks, i see your reasoning, but for some reason i remember having a positive reaction from elaine towards the engagement, she didnt really seem “terrified.” moderately anxious at most.</p>

<p>hopefully i got above a 2000. I answered all of the questions except for 1 on writing. I hope I did well…</p>

<p>I don’t know about the emphasis on what, but the question cited specific lines, which didn’t include the following sentences. So it doesn’t matter what it said after. I think…</p>

<p>anyone have a question with ‘actor with swagger’? what was the answer?</p>

<p>I keep saying this but does anyone remember a short-answer paragraph that started “Summer, 1953. Persia…” ???</p>

<p>Just say yes or no guys, its not that difficult</p>

<p>yeah i had actor with swagger one. I think i put magnanimity but it could have been the word that started with P</p>

<p>no i don’t remember any short paragraph about Persia.</p>

<p>i had the persia passage wat did u put for the second question?</p>

<p>Im almost positive that the answer to the cr passage question with the answer choices: agitated, petrified, and jubilant was agitated; the definition of agitated in dictionary is defined as :excited;disturbed. That fits the question best (excited anxiety).</p>

<p>Petrified and jubilant are both too extreme as answer choices.</p>

<p>^this
I put agitated for the one about how the woman felt about the wedding. It said that she was excited but also nervous about what the parents would say. She was half jubilant and half petrified=agitated</p>

<p>I put panache for the actor/swagger question. Is that right?</p>

<p>Did you guys get “defile” as one of the vocab answers (it was the last question I think)?</p>

<p>for the Elaine anxiety question</p>

<p>isn’t agitated the answer </p>

<p>agitated means nervous and troubled, which is exactly what anxiety means</p>

<p>btw what would i get as the writing score if i get all mc q’s correct but an essay score of 8?</p>

<p>yes, just checked the definition and panache was right. I had that at first then changed it to magnanimity. I hate it when I second guess myself and end up wrong.</p>

<p>isn’t the max score of the essay suppose to be a 6?</p>

<p>the max essay score is a 12, with 6 being the highest score an individual reader can give (two readers grade your essay, not one)</p>

<p>Writing: 4 no errors total, 2 no errors in a row #27 and #28 (one of them had “had lain” in it)?
There was also a writing question (#15 I think) in which “should be” was underlined. Was that an error?</p>

<p>Oh same here!! I DO NOT RECALL ANYTHING INVOLVED WITH A CANYON… Shoot is it that they have different versions or that we are screwed?</p>
