<p>wow i'm so upset right now</p>
<p>I knocked in a couple of paragraph for the body, contrasting Jason Compson (sound and the Fury) and his selfish nature with Raskolnikov and how his submission to the greater good of society profoundly betters him as a person.</p>

<p>That Caesar quote is unrea and I've always remembered it, but how the hell is it in any way pertinent? :P You have to be valiant to place the needs of the whole before those of the good?</p>
<p>P.S. "The cowardly die many times before their deaths; the valiant taste of death but once."</p>
<p>I wrote about how we all have individual needs but needs of higher populations last longer and affect more people. I continued to state a thesis with reasons from science and history. My next paragraph stated Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and how reproduction can be both an individual and group need but is not necessary for the individual but necessary for the group as we need continuation of our species....blah blah. I then put in another paragraph on Christopher Columbus and how he initially intended to set sail with personal needs of gold and glory. Then I went on to state that his voyages help make Spain a greater world power and improve the nation of Spain with riches and power. I stated that his personal needs were met but affected no one but him whereas the nation's need for the voyage affected the whole Spanish population and the event gave Spain a lasting impression....yadayadayada. I finally sneaked in a brief concluding paragraph of my main points....all in 20 minutes! Oh, that essay was HECTIC!</p>
<p>i wrote that the need of the inidividual is more important because at the end of the day the only thing that freaking matters is how you feel about yourself! hahahahaa challange that....</p>
<p>i also compared how in nature no animal really gives that much of crap about its pride maates.... of course i used much better english skillz than this .... but you get the overall gist of the essay.... i really need a 11-12 on it cuz i don' kno how i did on the MC ... the MC was easier than kaplan tho... or so it seemed i hope i did better on MC than kaplan i had no time to check it... although in kaplan i was getting about 50 raw... so + 12 essay i have a shot at 800 right?</p>
<p>I believ that both the WNBA and the rarefied contained no errors.</p>
<p>I wrote about George Bush and his needs for trying to exile Hussein and crap like that.</p>
<p>Said it was bad since there were no WMD...community not liking war, etc.</p>
<p>I only had 3 paragraphs and no conclusion. :(</p>
<p>In my essay, i wrote about if people don't fufill their own individual needs, they will not be able to teach it to others and wont be personally satisfied, lol. er, something like that. I used personal experience and Pride and Prejudice, haha</p>
<p>man..the essay wasn't that bad at all. i hope i got atleast a 10...the mc kicked my ass...i think i missed like at least 20.....</p>
<p>I found the multiple choice easy, which was good, since I ran out of time on the essay. I went back to it and ended up spending a total of about 35 minutes on the essayalmost a reversal of what you're supposed to do.</p>
<p>Is it still possible to make a 12 on the essay with 2 paragraphs? I wrote about my soccer team and me, how we have a dependent relationship, and how my team's needs are just as important as mine.</p>
<p>I didnt have enough time to write a conclusion, i left the following incomplete sentence in a new paragraph as if i was trying to write a conclusion: "My father and grandfather have taught me it is sometimes necessary to give up"
My intro kind of made my point anyway.
If the essay with conclusion would have been 3-4 can i still hope for 3-4 (7-8 scaled) without a conclusion?</p>
<p>"I went back to it and ended up spending a total of about 35 minutes on the essay,"
You can go back to the essay? If so %(<em>#@(</em>%, wish i had known.</p>
<p>For the "rarefied" one, isn't the answer "more than"? The question was something like "at a height of more than" so the proper word should be "greater than" because height cannot be counted. Correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
<p>I thought the MC and the test as a whole was much harder than October's. The Math IIC was much harder too.</p>
<p>it says on the directions that you can go back to the essay. But after 20 min, you HAVE to(are supposed to) go to the mc, then if you are done w/that, you can go back to your essay..</p>
<p>i finished my essay with about 3 minutes remaining of the 20 min, so i got a little extra time on the mc...</p>
<p>i left the last 10 questions out. i've failed at life. i thought paragraph correction was the end. i thought there were only 3 sections on the exam. apparently, there are, but one of them is split into two parts JUST TO CONFUSE ME. 10 questions omitted..thats aoijgoiwajgo8w3jy893j89</p>
<p>i personally thought the MC this time around was harder than October's..I got a lot of D's in the first section, and ya i got more E's than I thought looked right... I got that rarefied one wrong (oops!) and several of the sentence error questions just wasn't clicking with me... so i'm hoping for a nice generous curve on MC :)</p>
<p>also i wrote about how the community's needs are more important .. .used Grapes of Wrath example, a bee in a bee hive, and ... Michael Jordan playing sick in the NBA finals in 1996 ha :)</p>
<p>I wrote about my dad breaking his leg, and having no one help him.</p>
