October SAT Writing

<p>i put no error for the brazil question</p>

<p>what was the sweeping plains/mountains one?</p>

<p>alrighty so...on the parents paying music one i put D for "they" cuz i thought it was an ambiguous pronoun (i thought it could refer to parents or children)...but i was just being stupid right XD</p>

<p>no i think i chose that too</p>

<p>^^ i remember marking "they" because it seemed ambiguous</p>

<p>omg yay =D</p>

<p>with an 8 essay:
a 65 grammar score (13w, 1omit) = 600
a 71 grammar score (10w, 1 omit)= 660
a 75 grammar score (4w, 2omit) = 700
(those are from my princeton review practice tests. seems off right? inflated i think)</p>

<p>70 grammar by means of a 43/49 (5w?) raw = 680
(that's from a scaled test, i believe the 2005 one that's used in the offical CB sat preparation booklet)</p>

<p>

Wow. You really need to learn geography. Brazil is in South America, not Africa.</p>

<p>And I'm pretty sure it was D. Because "in size" is very much redundant.</p>

<p>ouch. that's an enormous burn.
lol</p>

<p>yes i agree with D.</p>

<p>another question which i dont know if you discussed earlier .......built 100 years earlier in order to help ... between ... to ...</p>

<p>which was the mistake?? to or earlier??i think that both should be and/ago</p>

<p>for that question it was "largest in area" not "largest in size"</p>

<p>how is "they" ambiguous? parents can't play music to themselves in their own
infancy, that's absurd. it's obviously referring to the children.</p>

<p>can someone rewrite the sentence plz</p>

<p>And I'm pretty sure it was D. Because "in size" is very much redundant.</p>

<p>It was actually "in area", which is not redundant. Brazil could be largest in population, in number of exports, etc. Area tells you in what way Brazil is large, since large can refer to a number of things...</p>

<p>Though, I could be wrong.</p>

<p>how many can you miss to end up with an 800...the curve for writing is awful...last May i only missed 3 and got a 730</p>

<p>Lol dude how is the brazil one redundant. The first part of the sentence stated it was the most populous as in a lot of people. Then it continued to say it was largest IN AREA. IN AREA is not redundant to population.</p>

<p>Brazil one is not redundant. It at first talks about the population and then it says brazil is the largest in something,, but largest does not necessarily refer to the area. It could refer to population, size, nation, etc.. You have to specify in what aspect is the brazil the largest nation in South America</p>

<p>but is it redundant to say "largest in size" in the monaco/mexican cave question</p>

<p>was the brazil question in section 3 or section 5? (directed at people who had the experimental writing section)</p>

<p>the cave/monaco question was: "the cave is larger than the size of monaco"</p>

<p>it should be "larger than monaco" because you can't compare the cave itself to the size of monaco, you have to either compare the cave itself to monaco itself or the size of the cave to the size of monaco</p>

<p>for the brazilian one, I put "everything is correct"...although I thought that "most populous" sounded alittle suspicious...anyone else???</p>

<p>also, the one that was like "without their skills, we wouldn't have completed the project on time" was correct as written, right?</p>
