<p>For the impromptu question, the answer is incontrovertiby impromptu. Granted, it was a very hard question and none of the answers seemed correct, but impromptu is the best answer because as @anonymous said, the passage said “exhausting all her repertoire”</p>
<p>And yes @Murmex, I agree. I saw the formula choice as a trap as well.</p>
<p>@ carbon I honestly feel that, as rare as this happens, there will be a 1 question curve on the writing multiple choice. Assuming you got a 12 on the essay, with this curve you would be looking at a 770 or a 780. </p>
<p>Does anyone wanna’ back me up on this 1 question curve thing? 
heheh</p>
<p>Its definitely ‘impromtu’ over impertinent. A lot of the CR questions people are having, I find trivial or easy, but the Writing section and Math section clearly sucker-punched me :(</p>
<p>How could it be impertinent to ask your subject his age, when his age is a notable fact of the profile (especially considering he was the 2nd youngest ever and he was then asked to compare himself to the younger one)?</p>
<p>ChrsxwxN, I really hope you’re right! I’ve only taken one writing practice test and one real test, so how hard was this compared to other ones?</p>
<p>I didn’t see the interviewer question as necessarily difficult, but I still stand by impertinent as it makes more sense to me, is anyone else thinking of a -2=800 curve for CR? It would surely help but I’m skeptical.</p>
<p>damn… all i want for Wr and CR is 730+… you guys are all so greedy LOL jk… you guys probably worked ur butt off for this test… is anyone retaking it in December? I think I am… womp</p>
<p>Actually a -2 800 is very common for CR</p>
<p>Writing -2MC and 12 essay = 790-800</p>
<p>If I wrote only 3 paragraphs for the essay (1 intro 2 bodies) and did a mediocre job on them, what is an estimated score that I might receive? I wrote up about 1.5 pages if that matters</p>
<p>I would say a 6-8 with what you gave zxc5395, but that’s without seeing the word choice, punctuation, or your argument. Given that those are higher-level you could easily get a 9 or 10.</p>
<p>@ carbon Let me preface this by saying I’ve taken about 15 practice grammar multiple choice tests under real test conditions, timed and everything. For the 35-question section I would usually get everything right on numbers 1 - 29 and everything right on section 10 and I would miss a few on the improving paragraphs. Needless to say, this writing MC MINUS the improving paragraphs was the hardest I’ve ever taken. I missed #14 (the last one) on section 10 which was the “spending” or “where he spent” question (but I still don’t think we’ve reached a verdict on this question :O) On # 1 - 29, I had many doubts but CCers seem to confirm my answers but nevertheless, it was very challenging. The improving paragraphs were relatively easy, though, but still, I believe there will be a one question curve.</p>
<p>@ piedpilko Indeed, I think every CR has AT LEAST a -2 curve.</p>
<p>yea for the last question on section 10, i put “which i spent”… changing it to spending would make it a misplaced modifier: “…field research, spending the summer looking at bird” make it sound as if the research is spending the summer looking at birds. so it’s either which i spent or where i spent. i dont know if you consider “research” a place so i dont think it is where… so i put A… boo idk</p>
<p>The last one was definitely spending. “where he spent” refers to a location, and the question referred to a plan, not location.</p>
<p>The March SAT did not have -2=800 CR curve, I only missed 2 and got 780, so it varies.</p>
<p>Yeah @ Pigsgooink, I know I’m wrong 
UNLESS the “field research” was introduced by a preposition, but I don’t think it was. And yes @anonymousx37, I didn’t put “spending” at first because I thought it was a misplaced modifier, but…I’m not so sure anymore hahaha.</p>
<p>@ Murmex Dang, I’m sorry ):</p>
<p>Murmex, what’d you put for the last writing question? and wow… 780…? that kinda sucks b/c u were so close but i’d DIE for a 780… just sayin’</p>
<p>I agree that it’s “spending,” not that I got that one right, but spending fits best.
I’m actually fine with my CR score, I retook it this time for Math (which is my worst subject and I just want 680+ in).</p>
<p>gah… i was between spending and which i spent… but isnt spending a misplaced modifier!? can anyone prove me right or wrong???</p>
<p>“During college I took the first chance I could get to do outside research, (spending/which I spent/where I spent/I spent) my time [counting birds in South Carolina].” That’s what I remember of the question if it helps.</p>
<p>That’s not an exact replica but close enough </p>
<p>Yeah it was the last question of the last section. @anonymous I’m sure we’d have gotten it right if our minds weren’t feeling like poo :P</p>
<p><em>sigh</em> </p>
<p>i just want 700 Wr 700 CR and 800 M ):</p>
