Official June 2012 SAT Writing (US)

<p>@triplthreat I did the same, but I’m not confident about it after seeing a few people post about that one being a “no error.” I used the same logic you did, and it seemed obvious at the time, but all the conversation about that being incorrect is giving me doubt.</p>

<p>Did the sentence read “Dropping a steep 161 mph…” or “Dropping a steep 161 miles…”? I don’t recall answer choice A including the “per hour” part. If it did, you’re certainly right, triplthreat95, the answer would be A.</p>

<p>I’m certain that it said “per hour,” but almost everyone I know put no error, so I might have over thought it.</p>

<p>@nelky</p>

<p>I believe it read “feet per mile”, so the sentence stands correct as it was. IF it did say miles per HOUR, then tripl would be right.</p>

<p>Now that I think of it, I think it did say feet per mile, not miles per hour. Looks like I got it wrong :(</p>

<p>@hockeydudes95 I was taught that animals do not get the “who” and “whose” like people do. So the hyenas would get which</p>

<p>Or whatever the choice was that was not “whose”</p>

<p>@Maverick </p>

<p>“whose” actually can be used to apply to animals.</p>

<p>However, you are right in that “who” is usually used for only people.</p>

<p>Oh that’s interesting. I’m not a professional when it comes to grammar. I guess I’ll know when I get my score lol</p>

<p>My essay was about success and repetition of past actions.</p>

<p>I took a negative stance, and I had 2 points. The first one was about Macbeth and how he utilized murder to become king. He then tried to use similar dissolute means to secure his sovereignty, but this turned the other nobles against him and eventually brought his downfall.
My second point was about WWI and I think its weaker. I talked about how WWI was basically the first big mechanized war. Prior to the war, parties relied more on individual skill and strategy, but in WWI technology became more important. I also talked about how trying to use skill and strategy proved to devastating. Therefore, unique methods had to be utilized. Is that on topic?</p>

<p>Anyone remember the really tough one with the idiom So… that…?</p>

<p>just gonna drop this here. Compilation of 11.</p>

<p>for use on (bacteria)

<p>^what was the one with the bacteria? i forgot</p>

<p>the one with bacteria wasn’t NE? idk I had 4 NE, so I prob got that one wrong if there was an error</p>

<p>do you guys remember the one with the television one and it was between insisted on and insisted that or something along those lines?</p>

<p>insisted on …</p>

<p>I believe it was “insistence that”</p>

<p>For the river question where it said “dropping a steep 138 feet per mile”, do we need to use “at”? I didn’t think so, but I’m not quite sure how “feet per mile” works.</p>

<p>It was no error for sure.</p>

<p>there was one where it said - of the many types … and OF was choice A . was that the wrong choice?</p>

<p>@mustafa do you remember what the sentence was about?</p>
