<p>she takes the esssay after the writing test is over so that you can't go back during, say, a chemistry setion. You're allowed, however, to keep the essay for the entire hour.</p>
<p>my essay topic was something about many faces of courage. I compared the couraghe of alexander the great and that of the orphaned children hit by the tsunami.. did that make any sense???</p>
<p>Yes, you used different types of ppl--a great conqueror and orphaned children. Definitely works better than mine...</p>
<p>ohh.. i fked up the essay heh. I was panicky. I thought it would be a topic I could write about no rpoblems like the samples for example if it was power or corruption, love etc. courage? :@</p>
<p>I wrote how there's different types and gave example of a courage politicains. I failed for sure.</p>
<p>I wrote about a friend of mine on the swim team who has diabetes, how it was strange he got diabetes because he was so healthy... but anyways, I didn't get to finish it completely and so I didn't get to tie it all together. Perhaps I would've said something liek even chidlren can be courageous... blah.</p>
<p>it is a broad quotation it can be interpreted anyway as long as it makes sense</p>
<p>Newsflash: It should be "put questions to", not "put questions toward". </p>
<p>If you don't believe me, Google both terms and see what happens.</p>
<p>Hmmm. Well I definitely got more links that said "put questions to," but I did get a USAtoday link saying "memo points questons towards.." Crappy idiom. Who would know that one?</p>
<p>Is the 92-101 800 score constant, or does the scale change with each test?</p>
<p>I thought it was strange. Not sure if I mad eit no changes or said that was wrong.. I was :s about the whole last SC section</p>
<p>at some point I defintely said that was wrong</p>
<p>The scale changes with each test. The first time I took it I got a 6/12 on the essay and missed 7 MC, but got a 670. According to the scale in Real SAT IIs I should have gotten a 630. I read on the college board website that they added 30 points to everyone's score in 1998. The 92-101 scale is from the June 1995 test.</p>
<p>is it possible to get a 12 if your essay is imcomplete?</p>
<p>i hope so....</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about "comic" and "realistic." The problem was parallelism, so is the answer "comedy" and "reality"? But "comic" can act as a noun too, so "comic" and "reality"?</p>
<p>Yeah, my friend got a 12 with only one paragraph, asssuming her paragraph was wonderful...</p>
<p>I don't remember exactly the comic/realistic question, yy. But I did think it was a parallelism problem so I chose the answer including comic and realistic (not comedy and reality). Don't know if it's right! i didn't have time to check the MC part 'coz I rushed back to my essay to finish it.</p>
<p>On a second thought, I think that's what I put too. So let's hope it's right</p>
<p>i put the comic and realistic answer too.........is it true the SAT scores are curved?????...</p>
<p>how many mult choice questions can you miss and still make a 750 w/ a 10 on the essay?</p>
<p>Umm, I got 760 last time with a 10 on the essay and I think I missed 8 or so questions.</p>
<p>I found the essay topic quite generous. I wrote about Prometheus from Ayn Rand's Anthem and how he showed different types of courage, i.e the courage to think independently, courage to love, courage to feel pride, ect. I think it was a pretty effective topic. I also have the serendipity of accidentally turning to page two of the test book and seeing the topic a minute or two before the test begins and I can't help but think about what to write and I know it's wrong. But I'm not gonna be like, "HEY! I SAW THE TOPIC BEFORE EVERYONE ELSE! CANCEL MY SCOREZ!!!!!111on1on11e." ...cause that would be stupid.</p>
