November 2010 SAT - Writing

<p>Can you explain your reasoning?</p>

<p>yes, it shouls have been “us” and not we.</p>

<p>The whole essay was about the pilot. Chinatown was simply the setting of the novel- it bares no importance to the coherence of the passage. The essay did not talk much about the pilot’s successful flight- it should have elaborated on that more.</p>

<p>it was Chinatown. no question about it</p>

<p>Shouldn’t the conclusion reflect the entire passage?</p>

<p>Also: Did you remove “too” or leave it there?</p>

<p>Also: How many no errors did you guys get? I got one (2nd question of the spot the errors, the one that said “with the guidance of the father, she became one of the first female golf players” or something)</p>

<p>I agree with the no error. I can’t remember the ‘too’, can you elaborate on that?</p>

<p>It was in the improving passage part.</p>

<p>It was like "This plane, too, crashed and burned. "</p>

<p>Did you remove the “too” or leave it as it was?</p>

<p>Left it because it was the second plane to crash.</p>

<p>Do you remember any other questions?</p>

<p>ok it was def more about planes
for the put the sentence it was i think after sentence 12 since 1911 couldnt have been before 1909
i think i also said leave as is for “too”
for one of them it was remove “when”
for another it was i think at the same time or something like that for the wright brothers</p>

<p>in search for was not NE it shouldve been either in search of or searching for</p>

<p>section 10</p>

<p>many D’s
the one about the african american music was the one with “while drawing on”</p>

<h1>13 was E it was the one with Because something something,</h1>

<h1>10 was D it was the art something last winter, showing his works, including a red bus</h1>

<p>forgot #11</p>

<p>but #12 was A, it was the one that went like having something, distinct alphabets since it made the most sense</p>

<h1>11 long section was A (the amelia boomhart)</h1>

<p>The conclusion always summarizes the essay. The conclusion said that dragonwings paints both a picture of his life AND a picture of chinatown, yet chinatown is not mentioned.</p>

<p>Is it possible to get a perfect score if you make a 9 or 10 on the essay, but get all the MC right?</p>

<p>Sd, I got a -1 MC and and a 9 on my essay last time (May 2010). It ended up being a 750. Maybe with a 10 there’s a chance, depending on the curve?</p>

<p>Hey, does anyone remember that question about poker players? I put “adhere by” as being wrong (thinking “adhere to” is the right preposition) - but I just searched “adhere by” in Google and it has 45,000 results. Ugh. Maybe Google has bad grammar? haha</p>

<p>I would say adhere to…I selected that answer too</p>

<p>^adhere to was what i put. I was confident it was right. The way it was used was odd.
Besides, CB usually puts an idiomatic question on every identifying error section. I thought “adhere by” was the one.</p>

<p>@peachiemkey, I also marked “adhere bya” as an error for a wrong idiom. I was pretty confident in that one.</p>

<p>yes for me writting part is worse i have always hard time with it</p>

<p>Oh okay, adhere to, sweet! I always have 10 minutes left to obsess over a single question and that was the one. It’s funny how you can read an Identifying sentence the first time and the error immediately jumps out at you, but if you read it a second time you start to doubt yourself and then by the third time you’re driving yourself crazy :D</p>

<p>What was the answer to the last improving sentences one? The one on the version with the echolocation passage. Something with “Now that the war is over., the congress is blah blah”</p>

<p>^that was no change. A. I thought that question was on the 35 min section?</p>
