<p>hey guys
do you remember the question about respect of the crowd.
It should be "gained respect from the crowd" not "gained respect of the crowd" in that particular sentence rite? cause the man doesnt respect the crowd but is instead respected by the crowd..
And what were the no error sentences?? i am pretty sure there was on on the first and third page of the 12-29 section. You guys??
And what are your opinions on the seemingly controversial INHABIT question?
Thanks guys</p>
<p>I think my essay was really bad. I wrote about robber barons like carnegie and others who weren't fufilled by having a plethora of wealth and were more at ease with themselves when they donated millions of dollars to philanthropy thus preserving their legacy and in my second paragraph I wrote about Holden from the catcher in the rye how he was rich and yet one of the most morose and depressed teenagers ever.</p>
<p>My son took the SAT this morning -- he had to flip the test booklet so that it would lay flat to write in it, but turned one page too many. So, he actually wrote the essay on the <em>second</em> page for the essay test, leaving the first page blank! </p>
<p>When he realized it (saw the WARNING notice at the top of the page -- "don't begin your essay on this page or it might not be scored properly"), there was no time to copy the essay over, so he asked the proctor what to do. She told him to write "continued" on the first (blank) page, and then at the top of the second page, where he started the essay, she told him to write "start" and draw an arrow to his starting sentence. She assured him that the graders <em>would</em> see his essay and grade it, rather than just seeing a blank first page and assuming that he didn't even attempt it. </p>
<p>What do you think? Will they score it??</p>
<p>timeless, I don't remember the "gained respect" question, BUT I put "than" as the answer to the inhabit question...the others seemed too wordy and I remember there was an example similar to that question in the Blue Book and that answer was "than" too.</p>
<p>As for the essays, I think I did pretty well..at least the beginning was. I wrote about how people should be criticized for materialism because they are abandoning personal relations in exchange for superficial ideals. I used Death of a Salesman and Global Imperialism as examples. I think my DOS example was good...but then I kind of trailed off and started writing a bit of BS with the global imperialism one...I said how it has caused war and discord among people and stripped societies of culture and stuff. I hope I did alright!</p>
<p>ok thanks art_star
anyone have other opinions??</p>
<p>I talked about Hamlet and Vietnam War/Cold War mistakes barely finished intime with 1 3/4 of a essay. Don't know how it went, but a lot of big words in though.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the one about the girl's research project? I remmeber it was something like</p>
<p>Julia's research was so good that the judges paid more attention to her presentation than Johns. Was that a comparison error? Should Johns have been "Johns presentation"</p>
<p>What was the answer to the rock band one.</p>
<p>Tyler,</p>
<p>You're correct. The "house" sentence isn't <em>exactly</em> the same structure as the actual test question, but the logic is similar.</p>
<p>I counted two E's among the ISE questions. One of the E's involved a sentence that started with "...familiar...from...", I believe (unless I am remembering this from the experimental Writing section). I was surprised that they actually wrote a question with a redundancy error on an ISE question (the one with "each year"), as that required that the underlined part be <em>entirely</em> deleted (without its being replaced with other words) in order to correct the sentence (I realize that you don't have to correct the sentence to answer the question) -- I have NEVER seen an ISE question that required you to do that before. Every other question involves a partial deletion and/or replacement with other words.</p>
<p>The answer to the "camp" question was choice E, I believe. The choice read "It brings together teenagers from opposite sides of conflicts all over the world." The other competing choice was "All over the world, teenagers are brought together from opposite sides of conflicts by the Seeds of Peace Camp." I did not choose it because it was more wordy and used passive voice. Choice E contains the same meaning and is more concise. The only potential difficulties I see with choice E are that "it" might be a little ambiguous, although it should be fairly clear what "it" refers to (the camp) and that the writers might have meant "all over the world" to modify "teenagers" and not "conflicts."</p>
<p>Hey Godot, wut was another no error in ISE questions?
and wut did u put for the respect question in the ISE section
thanks jaja</p>
<p>timeless,</p>
<p>I can't tell you the other "No Error" right now. And the "respect" question doesn't ring a bell. Perhaps it was an experimental question. "Gained respect from..." does sound better to me, though.</p>
<p>I dont think E was right for the Seeds of Peace one. It almost sounds like "It brings together teenagers all over the world." That'd be wrong. I dunno. I picked the one starting with "All over the world..."</p>
<p>What about where you were supposed add something to a paragraph? I think I put "more efforts on how peace is made" or something like that.</p>
<p>Godot, I'm pretty sure it wasn't experimental, since I had it and reading was my experimental (I think.) "Gained respect from" sounds better than "...of" but then again, I don't remember what original sentence was.</p>
<p>nyjunior,</p>
<p>Was the "gained respect" question an Improving Sentences question or an Identifying Sentence Errors question? Do you remember the full question??</p>
<p>SigmaCentauri,</p>
<p>I don't think your conclusion is correct. Choice E is fairly clear, and it does not imply that the camp brought teenagers all over the world (I believe what I wrote is the exact sentence verbatim).</p>
<p>For my essay I wrote about Hitler's imperialism and America's capitalism. My conclusion was random, since I ran out of time.</p>
<p>Anybody????</p>
<p>Anybody????</p>
<p>Wrong page on SAT essay -- will it be scored, or do I need to cancel??? </p>

<p>What do you think? Will they score it??</p>
<p>Can anybody confirm the seeds of peace one where it asked what information should be added? I put more efforts on how peace is made.</p>
<p>Godot, the respect one is from the questions 12 to 29. not sure about the whole sentence... it was just that a guy did something very well and the underlined portion read "gained respect of community." i just found it weird....
does anyone else remember no error sentences i beleive there were only 2 if this respect question is not NO ERROR</p>
<p>timeless,</p>
<p>If that sentence did indeed contain an error, it must have been in a different part of the sentence, because I do not recall choosing the choice corresponding to the "respect of" part. I also did a search on Google, and found more pages with the phrase "respect of" than "respect from." I realize this is not scientific, but it does lend more credence to "respect of" as the correct idiom. I actually retract what I wrote earlier. "Respect of" sounds correct if one means that the object of "of" is displaying respect for the subject: "The teacher earned the respect of all the students, even the most hardened ones, by the end of the first two weeks." If one means showing appreciation for a thing or person, I believe the correct idiom is "respect for," as in "Sarah demonstrated a tremendous respect for teachers and what they do."</p>
<p>I am fairly certain that there were only TWO "No Errors" among the ISE questions.</p>
