Official June 2012 SAT Writing (US)

<p>@bryster That post was highly uncalled for. I was just trying to help and you simply barge in and assume that I’m being “ignorant”? If there’s anyone being ignorant, it’s you.</p>

<p>have we reached a consensus on the “steep” question yet?</p>

<p>@SAT100 for number 29 you were right about it saying “understand fully” because I wrote that it was incorrect and should have been “fully understand” but I think I got that wrong…</p>

<p>^isnt it fully understand? i said understand fully wrong</p>

<p>is the understand fully question the same one as the one where much should be corrected to many? cause i said it was much as the error</p>

<p>and on the improving paragraphs, on the one where it talked about steel being manufactured, did you say “One was steel the manufacturing of steel” It was choice C</p>

<p>and on the one about the elevator. Was it “People could now go to high floors effortlessly?” or was it correct as written (Going to a high floor was now an effortless task")</p>

<p>The sentence said “understand fully” which was B so I bubbled in B because I thought it should be “fully understand”</p>

<p>Do you guys remember number 28 with like “Some time ago the researcher…”
I put “some time ago” because it didn’t have a comma (and it definitely needed a comma) but I’ve never come across a punctuation error before. Was that just a typo?</p>

<p>@Ramshwar I chose C as well for the steel one and I chose “People could now go to high floors effortlessly” also.</p>

<p>For the essay my prompt was does solving difficulties create more difficulties or something,</p>

<p>I used gandhi, harriet tubman, and muhammed alli describing how there difficulties only made positive outcomes… did I kind of change the prompt a little? I wrote a great essay up to the bottom of the 2nd page, i would give myself an 11-12 on it, unless it didn’t really follow the prompt, someone get back to me? Im getting worried and might want to cancel</p>

<p>SOMEONE REPLY AND TELL ME IF ITS OKAY OR NOT!!</p>

<p>complied list?</p>

<h1>12 on the last writing section was like “the insistence that the family gather to watch news” or “The insistence that the family gathered to watch news”</h1>

<p>did you guys put the first one I mentioned? I put that, but i was debating these</p>

<p>@nbachamp45</p>

<p>lol 3 examples usually don’t yield as high of a score as do two examples. but assuming that they were fleshed out enough, and considering that you essentially used all the space, you should be fine for at least a 10.</p>

<p>For Section 10, the second to last question something about China, did you guys put “in that” or “By” something something?</p>

<p>I think I put “insistence on the family to gather”</p>

<p>i used the 12 essay in 10 days thread as an example, i practically used the same exact template while incorporating several sat vocab words. I also started my essay with “Throughout the epochs of time…”, which sounds pretty good to me, </p>

<p>BUT ANYWAY, do you think my examples were good and i didn’t go off topic with the prompt</p>

<p>yes I put in that as well</p>

<p>can an 11 essay and -1 MC get an 800 possibly?</p>

<p>@shredding it looks like there must be two prompts. Yours (which is the one I got, too) and another one about whether solving problems leads to more problems. Those two are too different to have been misread by so many people, thus, there were two. I can’t remember if that was true for other tests… </p>

<p>Anyway, in mine I basically said " in the past mathabane went against traditional racial roles and recieved special privileges because of it, this culminated in him playing tennis (a traditionally ‘white’ sport) and ultimately winning a college scholarship (succeeding)". Only a lot longer. Repeat for my other two examples, only slightly different in what action they repeated. On topic?</p>

<p>TO CLARIFY: for those that chose b, “fully understand”: the phrase to fully understand is actually grammatically incorrect and is called a split infinitive. So to understand fully was fine as it was, and the correct answer was c.</p>

<p>Also I was kind of unsure about the elevator one too - I think I put D or something that didn’t have “now” in it because it was talking in the past tense and now was out of place. 4/6 answers had the word now in it, so I thought that would be the error. Don’t know if I’m right.</p>

<p>What was the sentence for ‘fully understand’</p>

<p>guys, what do you think -3 and a 10 essay will get me?</p>
