Ok Let's Talk About Writing "no Errors" Now

Test Preparation SAT Preparation
1

<p>Here are the Improving Sentences questions that I got (E) or NO ERROR for…</p>

<li>the fool and the gambler</li>
<li>Faulkner</li>
<li>“somebody and me”</li>
<li>“To all those who knew about the school’s financial troubles, the budget cuts proposed by the principal didn’t come as a suprise.”</li>
<li>? (I can’t recall but I know that I had a 5th one)</li>
</ol>

<p>Discuss please and this thread is reserved for Writing SAT takers who had the failure/success and “whom ran and skated” sections.</p>

<p>if you had two full writing section, i believe the one with the dispose of and the compatible to is the non-experimental one</p>

3

<ol>
<li>i said D, "to be" cuz I thought it should be "as"</li>
<li>agree</li>
<li>don't remember that one</li>
<li>agree, altho weird</li>
<li>i had 2 more i think, if not 3 lol</li>
</ol>

4

<p>What about the senators one:</p>

<p>...,for each....</p>

5

<p>I had 4 no errors. Most of those ring a bell as the ones I put down as E.</p>

6

<p>guys....we should really try to come out with the full sentence or it s sort of hard to recall them
subconscious denial caused by the stress during the test makes most test-takers forget the questions during the test</p>

7

<p>^I agree. I definitely did not get 5 no errors.</p>

8

<p>I can't remember for sure, but I know these were No Errors:
-Faulkner sentence.
-Principal/budget sentence.
-The fool and gambler.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what was my fourth one. Perhaps the racecourse one?</p>

9

<ol>
<li>I vaguely remember coming across those Kaplan writing error problem types that 'but' can be only used as a conjunction on the SAT. So I think it should be 'No one except a fool' instead of 'No one but a fool.' </li>
</ol>

<p>Too bad I didn't think of that on the test.</p>

10

<p>"but" is same as "except"..</p>

11

<p>I got 5 No Errors. I don't remember the Faulkner one or the "somebody and me" one. Could someone give the full sentence for those (or as much as they can remember)? Also, what about "running the race" and it being diffcult for "them and me (I don't remember it exactly)?</p>

<p>EDIT: Does anyone else recall the last one being a tense error?</p>

12

<p>OOOPS it's "them and me" and not "somebody and me" I believe.</p>

13

<p>april writing was soooooo much harder than january writing =(</p>

14

<p>I'm pretty sure that "but" is okay there.</p>

15

<p>What's the gambler and fool one?
and what was the sentence about "research on" something</p>

<p>and ya no one but me sounds awkward</p>

16

<p>By the way, I think that "Nobody but a fool" is correct.</p>

<p>Here is a link explaining how "but" can be used as a preposition:

17

<p>are you sure it's right, RCMan13? Crap, then one more wrong. There goes my 800.</p>

18

<p>I'm not entirely sure.</p>

<p>Either way, its beyond our control, so we may as well wait and see.</p>

19

<p>There goes my 800 too. =&lt;/p>

20

<p>are you guys sure the principal one was E? I thought the "had heard" part was wrong.</p>
