@Tubby17 I’ve heard otherwise. I don’t think the college board is allowed to consider any type of example as lesser than another type as long as the execution is good.
Contrasted with curved, sinuous
Only remember 4 words
I still have no recollection of that question
Did the essay questioned if leaders should compromise or not?
How was it exactly worded?
On the OG, one 12-score essay used personal experience. I don’t think the collegeboard cares as long as the examples clearly demonstrate the prompt
@Tubby17 On a previous SAT I used only personal experiences and got a 9. So you would be wrong.
What did you guys get for the dance troupe writing question and the writing question about the person who just moved and wanted to have either curtains or blinds
I put not error for that, but many are saying it was sinuous…
Did the essay questioned if leaders should compromise or not?
Does anybody remember how the essay was exactly worded?
The dance troupe one is the “as diverse as”. It should be no error. I got that one wrong @grunterbaum1
I’m starting to really think sinuous is not an error. Looking through google, sinuous is frequently used to describe Art Nouveau and it’s also used alongside “curvy”
For CR:
Atlantis dual passage: what was the answer to the question that was like “compared to passage 1, the tone of passage 2 is…” ; the options were: analytical, earnest, emphatic, appreciative, etc.; I put emphatic
Telescope passage: “the author implies that Ptolemy’s ‘sophisticated model’ is…”; I put “a generally sound theory” but I was between this and “sophisticated theory but with a fundamental flaw.” I ended up picking the first because I didn’t find any evidence that the author thinks Ptolemy’s theory is flawed. It just says that there was now a new theory…and the author does say mention that Ptolemy’s theory is logical (hence “sound”)
Zen passage: “lines 36-38 primarily serve to…”; I was between “provide a bold reassessment” and “dispel misperceptions.” I picked the first because the narrator doesn’t dispel or dismiss/eliminate the point of view of the American students. He just reassesses…and “bold” is because it is fairly abrupt and is stated as a incontrovertible fact (Something like: “But in Zen, students actually do pay attention to details…”)
Zen passage: “fussy most nearly means…”; I put “finicky” and not “dainty”
Does anyone agree with my answers??
There are two essay prompts each for east and west. Mine is different @388854239ewr
Hi what was the last improving paragraph question? Was it : miss out the lesson or my mother different from me
How do SAT curves work? This is the first I’ve heard of that LOL
For the curtains and blinds question, there was an error. Common idioms. The question stated “between moving the curtains or the blinds”. The idiom is always “between A AND B”. Therefore, it should that part of the question is wrong, it cannot be “or” and should be corrected to “and”.
Is it just me or is it impossible to put a #19 + writing answer as “no error” and feel good about it
I had analystical, fundamental but flawed and dispel misconception
@mathshredder
@mathshredder I put fundamental flaw because the author implies that it was not very accurate and I put misperception because the passage talks about how Zen focuses on details even though it claims not to
