<p>something about a book long in the writing....</p>

<p>oh, does it start with "in the writing of ...."</p>

<p>and for the writing sentence about antartica, did anyone combine any sentences.....
also for one of the writing questions, the sentence reads like "no ........(subject) something, it should be followed by a singular verb rite?</p>

<p>no, it was something about a book long in the writing. the lesser students would probably have chosen long in the writing as the mistake... i put mistrust with because that isjust wrong... </p>

<p>i did not think the grammar was very difficult...and i did wellon the cr.. even though it seemeda bit long to me. THis is good because im confident about my math...so as long as i did well on cr and writing i can get a 780-800 math next time... my only concern is that schools dont really allow us to mix and match scores. I assume there is a difference between someone who got a 2300 in one sitting and someon who got it in two or three. AM i right about this?</p>

<p>It's supposed to be "mistrust of" right?</p>

<p>^ That’s what I thought. </p>

<p>Do schools care if you get 2400 in two or three sittings?</p>

<p>Mistrust of is what sounded right to me, so yes.</p>

<p>Irish, do you remember the sentence?</p>

<p>nope as long as you get a 2400...its all good. doesn't matter how many sittings. unless its for a special program or something. you gotta look at the school policy for that. BUt in general, they don't care.</p>

<p>Also anyone know how many you can get wrong in CR for an 800?</p>

<p>In december, 11 essay + 2 wrong = 800 :)</p>

<p>That's writing lol. ^^</p>

<p>Btw, does anybody remember that question for the Black Hole short passage? Something about the function of the last sentence...</p>

<p>The answer I was talking about with the "parody of actual event," was in the porcupine lady passage. It was asking something along the lines oof what the story would serve as in law or whatever.</p>

<p>I also had "communicating values" for one of them.</p>

<p>I had verbal legal binding contract for that one.</p>

<p>I don't see why it would be a parody. I mean, it's funny, but the point of the story is to teach a moral.</p>

<p>Yeah, me too. That was about how the narrator feels about folklore. I also put "appreciation as a means of communicating values."</p>

<p>I don't think verbal contract was one of the choices. I think it was an option for another question though.</p>

<p>For the 2nd question where it talked about the author's approach to the story, did you put that the author used traditional means to illustrate his point?</p>

<p>Yes, traditional somethign to approach the problem.</p>

<p>I think i put "used in a particular context" for that one....</p>
