@MileSwimmerDude
Do you remember the other answer choices? I know I didn’t pick ambivalent
And the meaning of the metaphor was that she was working herself away
@BryceBJ Okay cool. @Spurs2014 I cant remember the other answer choices.
Did anyone put pedantic for any of the answer choices?
@MileSwimmerDude I put pedantic for one i do not remember what the question was though
man it has been 10 hours and I’m already anxious… 2 months is gonna kill me
really just nervous over prompt 3 in regard to the culture/community part and a few questions though
@Broncaholic9 Okay cool thanks.
Does anyone know if it is possible at all to receive or at least view (online) our individual essays?
@dhdjdjd you can pay college board like 15$ to have them sent to you in october
@dhdjdjd but the essays will be completely unscored and umarked. It will be exactly the same as it was when you turned it in.
I didn’t mention a community or culture either, I just talked about humanity in general…I actually used science-y examples and discussed human psychology. Probably getting a 0.
I didn’t have Form O (I apparently still got the crappy 3rd FRQ), but I can generalize the following:
@MileSwimmerDude When the passive voice is used, the author typically wants to draw attention away from the main subject and / or focus the sentence somewhere else. For example,
“The math teacher failed the student because he never did homework.” will read differently than
“The student, who never did homework, was failed by his math teacher.”
@Broncaholic9 I cannot think of an instance where College Board would have “pedantic” as an answer to anything.
Its definition, “a person who is excessively concerned with minor details or with displaying academic learning,” has a relatively strong negative connotation. Many people erroneously think that it means “unpredictable or unfocused.”
@1golfer1 - Do you remember the question with “pedantic” as an answer choice? I remember choosing that because none of the other options worked (and the author’s writing style was sorta didactic imo).
@Matt846 Oh, that’s fine. Do you know how I can go about doing that?
@glasshours I had Form S or J or some other letter.
Did anyone get an abstract philosophical thing as their last passage? It was seriously the weirdest thing I’ve ever read.
Does anyone now for sure about volumes vs. issues? I put issues but I feel like it might be volumes because I thought it said like page 236-238 or something
lol when I first skimmed through the test I thought there were 8 different passages and had a panic attack…only got through the first paragraph of the first passage after 15 minutes. But it was ok in the end because I picked up some pace afterwards
Here’s one of the passages from the MC. If you can’t remember the questions, maybe this will help you recall them.

@glasshours I think the pedantic question was something along the lines of how the author writes throughout paragraphs 1-2 (which were about the mom), and the other options included sarcastic and detached, but I’m not sure.
What I didn’t like about the MC portion of this exam was the fact that it asked questions about the footnotes
Like what the heck, why ask questions about references when you can ask questions about the actual content
I actually HAD to read the footnotes ._.
