<p>Man, I’m actually thinking a 75-80 on the Writing MC is possible for me. I’m kinda proud of myself for that, since Writing’s the section I worked on the most when I studied for the SATs.</p>
<p>Writing was my most improved section and on my practice tests i only got -4 - -5 MC wrong, and im hoping it likes at or even better on the test</p>
<p>Can I get an 800 with one wrong and an 11 essay? Or would my essay need to be a 12 for an 800 with one mc wrong?</p>
<p>SAT essays don’t need to be thoughtful and persuasive; they have to be thorough, even if they’re a drudge.</p>
<p>What is the consensus on the New Zealand question? Fairly certain I got it wrong.</p>
<p>-1 with a 11 essay should be an 800.</p>
<p>^What did you choose? And as far as I know, there’s still no consesus</p>
<p>^ It’s “that” instead of when. If you’re arguing otherwise, you’re just kidding yourself… sorry. :/</p>
<p>It’s “had” trust me.</p>
<p>nah brah it should have been “that” instead of “when.”</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure it’s had. that wouldn’t fix the problem</p>
<p>If someone can reproduce the question verbatim, I can ask my Latin teacher tomorrow. He is a grammar expert and will surely get it correct.</p>
<p>Although New Zealand (had fostered) music for decades, it was not until the 1960s (when) musicians began (to reach) an international audience. (No Error)</p>
<p>Btw: from English grammar site : ‘When’ means ‘at that moment, at that time, etc.’. Notice the different tenses used in relationship to the clause beginning with when. It is important to remember that ‘when’ takes either the simple past OR the present – the dependent clause changes tense in relation to the ‘when’ clause.</p>
<p>Aren’t 5 things supposed to be underlined? Are you sure that is verbatim?</p>
<p>^4 things are supposed to be underlined. I believe “until” was also underlined</p>
<p>yes obviously 5 things are but noone can remember the 5th one and it clearly isn’t relavent</p>
<p>Ok now how do I explain to him how I got this question lol and what it is for?</p>
<p>just say you have a question for him you came across. he wouldnt challenge it or be suspicious he’s a teacher and his job is to help you</p>
<p>He’s a nice guy and everything, and I’m relatively close to him (ate dinner at his house once), but how do I preface it?</p>
<p>saying, “i have a question I came across” might be a little wierd IDK</p>
<p>I was stumped by the New Zealand question too. But ultimately, I decided that “when” was wrong, and not “had.” Even though “had fostered” doesn’t sound that great compared to “has fostered”, think about it this way: What if someone was using this sentence to write about the history development of music in New Zealand? That’s a weird way to put it, but in that case, the sentence would be grammatically correct with “had fostered” because it would be writing in past tense about an event that had happened in the past.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what # it was? Like what # out of 29…</p>
<p>it was like 27</p>
