October 2010 Writing SAT thread

<p>I got 2 no errors. But 1 of them was wrong, because I put no error for the question about the “friends and I”</p>

<p>Is the NE the sentence about mammals?</p>

<p>I got 2 no errors. One was the “price at which…” question and the other was question #28. I can’t remember exactly. I did not have an writing experimental.</p>

<p>wait wait wait. Are there usually different experimentals for the same section?</p>

<p>i laughed at “would of” but i don’t remember “proceed”. are you sure this wasn’t experimental? what was the question?</p>

<p>someone make a consolidated list</p>

<p>It was experimental. Question #28…I think there was an error in that one b/c that was on the page with the paragraph and the “find the error” questions on that page all had errors. I actually think I got an 800 in writing. Yay!</p>

<p>hmm that’s strange. I had experimental writing and I still dont remember that question…</p>

<p>@Ivy</p>

<p>How many NE’s did u get? Do you remember what you put for the sentence about mammals? It was like low to mid 20s (for question #)?</p>

<p>someone confirm that this was experimental: </p>

<p>proceed vs precede?</p>

<p>@Mabs…(By the way…I know you have 800s in writing, congrats). I got 1 NE for the “find the error” section. I don’t remember the mammal sentence.</p>

<p>i also got 2 NE’s, don’t remember which questions tho :frowning: and no writing experimental</p>

<p>@Obliv: experimental.</p>

<p>Did anyone get “so poor”…that as an error?</p>

<p>^ Yeah. It should be “so poorly.”</p>

<p>what about “tornadoes and wind clashing as a result of change in wind movements”</p>

<p>is “as a result” the answer?</p>

<p>^I also got ‘so poor’ as an error</p>

<p>The mammal one was had an error with “its,” since the the sentence meant to say that it=the mammal, but the way the sentence was constructed, it stood for something else. Sorry I don’t remember the exact sentence, but I thought about it for a lot and ended up choosing “its” as a misplaced modifier of sorts. Well, the pronoun didn’t match the modifier.</p>

<p>No. “As a result” is too wordy, the other option, “resulting” flowed better and was grammatically correct.</p>

<p>the last 10 min grammar section killed me. I just finished a hard CR before, and the proctor gave us less than 20 secs in between the sections. -_________-</p>
