<p>"Than" is wrong. It must be "as" since that is the idiomatically correct completion of "twice as many [something]..." When you use the phrase "[twice] as many as," you don't write "[twice] as many <em>than</em>", do you?</p>
<p>I used Great Gatsby as well</p>
<p>LesOs,</p>
<p>I vaguely recall that I might have chosen "E" on question 28, but I don't recall the question right now. I just remember that I thought it was a little unusual (but not TOO unusual) that there were only 2 E's among the 18 Identifying Sentence Errors questions.</p>
<p>I took the test with only 4 hours of sleep (I should have followed the advice that I give to my own students, but I was too busy -- grrrr), so my memory is fading a bit right now.</p>
<p>I am going to repost my Writing question here:</p>
<p>In the scored (I think) Writing section, one of the Improving Paragraphs questions (the essay was about a camp that brought young people together to show them the "enemies") asked about a revision of a sentence that read something like "Due to the fact that teenagers are brought together from opposite sides of the conflict all over the world." I chose "It brings together teenagers from opposite sides of the conflict all over the world," but I was not sure that that was the best possible revision. Another possible answer was "All over the world, teenagers are brought together from possible sides of the conflict by [something] Seeds Camp." Opinions?</p>
<p>Godot... that makes sense. Do you remember what all of the choices were and what the correct one was? I also found that Seeds Camp question to be tough. I had it eliminated to the two choices you have, and I think I ended up with "It brings together teenagers from opposite sides of the conflict all over the world."</p>
<p>csummerlin2008,</p>
<p>I don't really recall the other choices, but I do remember that they were ridiculous, involving words like "they."</p>

<p>If this is the correct question, I think i put the although because "it" illogicallty referred to the students</p>
<p>Easton722,</p>
<p>You're probably thinking of the wrong question. The antecedent to "it" was fairly clear (the camp).</p>
<p>Was there a choice with ALthough in it?
I must be thinking of the wrong question</p>
<p>Yeah, there was a different question for that same passage (maybe a different one i guess) where the obvious answer was wrong because "it" referred to the wrong antecedent in a previous sentence.</p>
<p>I think "as" is wrong.</p>
<p>I have twice as many dogs as you. Correct.</p>
<p>There are twice as many dogs in my house as your house.
There are twice as many dogs in my house than your house.</p>
<p>Now which one of those sounds correct?</p>
<p>I put than. The sentence was comparing places.</p>
<p>I don't remember the exact wording. But it was comparing the number of birds of two different countries, I think. Does anyone remember the wording of it?</p>
<p>SigmaCentauri,</p>
<p>Nope. Your idioms (and both versions of your sentence) are wrong. The sentence should read "There are twice as many dogs in my house <em>as</em> in your house (the "in" is necessary to keep the parallelism and convey the right meaning: you're comparing dogs with dogs, and not dogs with a house). Sure, in everyday speech, one might say "...than your house," but that is not grammatically correct.</p>
<p>In the actual question, it's "...as inhabit..." You'll notice it's the same structure as above.</p>
<p>I used a lesser-known Fitzgerald novel, "The Beautiful and Damned."</p>
<p>****.</p>
<p>i was freaking desperate on the essay. I ended up at 2.5 paragraphs!! see, hearing the word "agriculture" always turns me off, and so with 15 minutes left, i gave in and wrote about how pertinent the book "My Teacher Flunked the Planet" by Bruce Coville was to poverty. Oh yeah, need i mention that the book is all about aliens who enlighten teenagers in order to "save the world"? (: That's ultimate desparity.</p>
<p>What sucks though is that i'm quite sure i got most if not all the CR & Writing Q's right. Do you think i still have a shot at the 700's if i might have gotten 7/12 on essay?</p>
<p>how important are varied sources in the essay? i couldn't think of any good historical events so I went with two lits: great gatsby and a raisin in the sun</p>
<p>One of the questions was like "Such and such charity, annually distributing twenty thousand pounds of food each year." The each year is wrong because you already have annually right?</p>
<p>the soup kitchen question?
hmm idk</p>
<p>ehighmark- correct, 29 was D, each year was wrong</p>
<p>than /</p>
