<p>I had the humor prompt</p>
<p>wrote about charlie chaplin during the great depression and the use of clowns in children’s hospitals and some personal experiences with funny literature blah blah blah</p>
<p>will it effect my score if a word got cut off of the border? I was trying to write recession but it probly got cut to “recess”</p>
<p>Charlie Chaplin and clowns in children’s hospitals is GREAT. o.O</p>
<p>I wish I had the family prompt :[ Could’ve written about “Metamorphosis” and “Sound and the Fury” … grr…</p>
<p>Humor: No.</p>
<p>Examples:
<p>hopefully my last example is okay if not… whatever. I managed to fill up the entire two pages, and I felt that I wrote well so I’ll see how that goes.</p>
<p>Social Connections: Yes</p>
<ol>
<li>Intro</li>
<li>Body Paragraph: Psychological Aspect - Bowlby / Interactionism</li>
<li>Body Paragraph: Individual Case Study - Genie (feral child)</li>
<li>Body Paragraph: World Event - Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nation (cause/effect)</li>
<li>Body Paragraph: Fictional Event - Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart (lack of unity)</li>
<li>Conclusion</li>
</ol>
<p>I thankfully got the one about knowing everything before taking an action. I thought it was comparatively easier than some the ones you guys got. I gave the following examples:</p>
<ol>
<li>Arranged marriage in Pakistan and how so much people including my mother are not satisfied as a result of it.</li>
<li>Religious extremists and how they take such huge actions before actually reading the religious scriptures themselves instead of listening to some misinterpretation.</li>
<li>A friend who is very happy and successful now because he chose a career after studying a lot of different subjects at a liberal arts college.</li>
</ol>
<p>Also managed to fill up the two pages although the best word I could use was “disgruntled” :P</p>
<p>I expect a 10. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>What’s the lowest score you can get if you fill up two pages, have a literary and historical example and don’t have any glaring mistakes?</p>
<p>The general opinion around here is that 3 good examples with both the pages filled and no glaring mistakes usually guarantees a 10.</p>
<p>what if u have an example abut grapes of wrath and la amistad and takes up to pages or if u develop 1 example
cuz its hard to develop threee good examples in 2 pages they prolly wont have enuff detail, cuz i did the threee examples and scored 9 in march and 8 in may lol </p>
<p>crossing finger for 11 or 12 with one developed example yeeeeeeeeeeeee</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>shiiiittttttt… hopefullly they don’t care. lol.</p>
<p>I was so happy with the family prompt. It was probably one of the easiest I’ve ever seen.</p>
<p>The Iliad
The Awakening
WWII</p>
<p>Did anyone else get an essay that was some Chinese proverb? Or rather, an excerpt that was a quote from a Chinese proverb/book or something like that. The gist was that to plan is better than to just take actions w/o planning.</p>
<p>what can I expect from a well written essay (strong intro / conclusion), filled two pages to the brim, but only 2 examples? (Each were like 10 sentences each though)?</p>
<p>Yes for social connections: examples: MLK + Death of a Salesman</p>
<p>I have a whole different one.sth like is thinking thru before taking actions better for ppl…
Kinda easier than that humor one as far as I know…
And…OMG,the HK testing supervisor was sooo random.He took away my pencil when I was concentrating on writing,saying that my No. 2 pencil(which was never complaint about in my other two times of SAT) did not qualify for the SAT;therfore he thrusted another no 2 pencil in my hand…I almost forgot wut I was gonna write…dang it</p>
<p>I had the knowledge and action one. I could have done better in the examples department though, I think I used only two and spent the rest of the time being a philosopher lol</p>
<p>Ya agreed! I think I could’ve added more examples as well, but I probably spent too much time trying to make logical sense of the flurry of ideas in my head lol.</p>
<p>i said humor is a good way to approach problems in life because worrying over some problems does not fix them. it only adds stress to one’s life.</p>
<p>examples…</p>
<p>“the man who would be king” by rudyard kipling - dravot and carnehan laugh off the obstacles they meet on their journey to conquer Kafiristan</p>
<p>“the stranger” by albert camus - meursault, an existentialist/postmodernist individual, uses humor and nonchalance to cope with his predicament(s).</p>
<p>two full pages, and used AcademicHacker’s guide meticulously. we’ll see what happens</p>
