October 2010 Writing SAT thread

<p>@ Alleviate</p>

<p>i’m getting to like u
cuz u keep on giving me hopes :)</p>

<p>My first section of writing was experimental, but I don’t remember what it was about. It was more challenging than I thought, though.</p>

<p>Second section (organic foods) was really easy, I thought. I remember getting two As for the improving sentences, and one E for finding errors.</p>

<p>Third section (short one), I don’t really remember much, but I think I got three As?</p>

<p>oblivion I put “while still” as well. And “peoples emphasizing” because in context Im pretty sure it should have been emphasis… not sure though. Confirmations?</p>

<p>i remember it was like “people’s continuing emphasizing on” or something…
but i circled emphasizing part cuz i thought it should be emphasis
if there’s an adjective before the word</p>

<p>I also put while still. It should be while still because of parallelism, I think</p>

<p>I underlined people’s emphasizing because emphasizing was supposed to be emphasis.
‘While still making’ on the company/profit/labor question was supposed to be underlined.</p>

<p>There was this question I found hard on the improving sentences part about two kids being friends since kindergarten. Does anyone remember what they put?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>haha i agree. ;)</p>

<p>@ Harambee I remember putting down something with “each was blah blah blah”</p>

<p>@Tornado question: I put C. The tornado forms when air somethings collide as a result of a change in either ________.</p>

<p>I had two no errors.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>The sentence about the mammals.</p></li>
<li><p>“Its settlement of the_____ showed that _____ while still making a profit”?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>might have gotten the latter incorrect</p>

<p>mabsjenbu123</p>

<p>I put “while still making a profit” because of parallelism, should be something like “…and still make a profit”</p>

<p>“people’s continuing emphasizing on” seemed correct to me, because the gerund “emphasizing” functions as a noun in that case. Although awkward, it is true, i believe. We need silverturtle or crazybandit to clarify.</p>

<p>What about the question characters both were unlikable and were adjective.
or was this experimental, because I had a exp writing…</p>

<p>Did anyone laugh at the “would of” and “proceed” instead of precede?</p>

<p>oh crap. there was a proceed vs precede? which question was that?</p>

<p>^That may have been an experimental question. I don’t remember getting a question like that</p>

<p>How many “no errors” did ou guys get?</p>

<p>^Clavul, Harambee</p>

<p>You’re right. Experimental.</p>

<p>Aw crap. I remember a precede…but i don’t think i did anything about it…</p>
