<p>I think my answer was something along the lines of “reaching higher heights had become easier” it didn’t have a they in it</p>
<p>@rameshwar I was stumped between A and B and the only difference between the two was active/passive voice. when I was deciding on an answer I didn’t know if the test acknowledged active/passive. I just ended up choosing A because it was more concise.</p>
<p>Anyone know if It’s a good or bad idea to use personal examples? My teacher from last year told the class to use them, but no one on here seems to.</p>
<p>@tangie from what i have read of your essay summary, i can tell you make a point about success in the past, but did you articulate that that success was recurrent in the future through the repetition of past actions? Furthermore, did you analyze the crux of your point, and state it?(why did past actions work again) and did you provide unity in your by demarcating the scope of your thesis?</p>
<p>The hyena question was definitely whose because you cannot use which to refer to animals or people. Also, did anyone get “more harsh” for an answer?</p>
<p>@hockey I chose the whose one too. And I also got more harsh.</p>

I don’t believe you interpreted it correctly in the regard that the prompt specifically referred to progress. The examples you used are great for solving difficulties that did not create new ones…but all the examples you used are people fighting for what they believe in…it’s not really societal progress. Those examples would be great for an essay arguing whether one should stand up for what they believe in. This prompt addressed whether progress (not people!) leads to new problems although solving old ones, or if progress is only good and does not create new problems. I said that progress does create new problems because it’s much easier. The way I framed it was I used examples of progress within societies…so I used the society of fahrenheit 451 as an example from literature. The society was so obsessed with speed and progress that they lost their humanity and tried to destroy history by burning books which created a new problem even though their society was more “efficient” and more “technologically progressed”. I won’t say my other two examples because if collegeboard actually reads this they might be able to figure out who I am lol. I guess apart from my other two good examples another would be social networking (a form of progress since it links everyone together) but a new problem formed is a lack of true genuine friendships with face to face conversations…because everyone is just chatting online or posting on facebook. Something like that. I think your essay can still get an 8-10 but since ur examples don’t exemplify progress and the prompt specifically addressed progress i don’t believe you can get much higher than a 10.</p>
<p>If anyone wants to know the other two examples I used that are really strong examples to support this essay just send me a message and I’ll let you know.</p>
<p>For the identifying errors part anyone remember g
Where it said no pint about complain; I said that was an incorrect idiomatic expression and it should be no point in complaining</p>
<p>I wrote Conclusion in 4th Para, since I dont have space on the sheet and it was last minute. Now I am worried that may effect my score. Please advise.</p>
<p>No worries a strong conclusion is certainly helpful but a quick last two sentences that repeat your original thesis is fine. So in general a strong conclusion can certainly help bump you up if your on that 5/6 border or a 4/5 border but they certainly won’t move u down from a 6 to a 5 just because ur conclusion is simple.</p>
<p>Is there a consolidated list of answers somewhere? If not, I will try to make one…</p>
<p>For those who have taken this before, how difficult was the prompt compared to the other ones?</p>
<p>I took October 2011 and the prompt was easier than this one, the January 2011 was harder though, something about reality TV.</p>
<p>ANyone remember for the 35 Q writing?
11) B ( but they represented gold and silver or something) other option was “however”
19) C ( more harsh)
31) B
32) C
33)E
34)E
?</p>
<p>Writing is usually my strongest section but unlike everyone else, I only got 1 No Error this time. Anyone else?</p>
<p>@triplethreat95</p>
<p>Writing is also usually my strongest section and I believe there were at least 3 Es in the writing sections. </p>
<p>And for the improving sentences, when it said when do you thing this sentence should be inserted “…” it had something to do with sentence 11 (after or before i don’t remember, think it was after)</p>
<p>I know one NE was about the river, and another was #28, what was the third? </p>
<p>And is 32 the one about steel manufacturing and 33 about the impact of the elevator? I’m wondering because on the list above I put the same choices and want to make sure lol</p>
<p>@Wharton3, you mean the question about using the elevators to quickly move people up and down the buildings?</p>
<p>@wharlands719</p>
<p>Yes.</p>
<p>@Wharton3, I said “before sentence 10.”</p>
<p>Also, I didn’t get NE for the river one because it said, “Dropping a steep 161 mph, the ____River…” but in my opinion, the mistake was “a.” It should have been corrected to “Dropping AT a steep” because it’s dropping at a speed, not dropping a speed. I might be wrong, but that’s what I put.</p>
