<p>How much would -1 on Writing be? I missed the government…continues one :(</p>
<p>I missed that government one too… I put no error… So far that’s all I’ve noticed I’ve gotten wrong in that section.
And then in CR so far I’ve gotten 1 SC wrong (severity) and 1 reading (irony)
And then math I think I got around 5 wrong. Then I’m not really sure whether I got the ones I guessed on right lol</p>
<p>so far the not X but rather Y seems to be the only unsolved writing question…</p>
<p>i remember the sentence was on the Greek Gods Eurydice etc, and it said something like:
…not on [ ] but on [ ]. There was no comma, so it seemed to be a run on sentence.</p>
<p>according to GMAT idiomatic expressions, the correct form of this idiomatic expression is not X, but rather Y.</p>
<p>Hey, on CR there was one question about “erecting” an argument or something, was erect the right answer?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It was not trickier at all this year. If any, it was even more direct and easier than last year.</p>
<p>@LVbaby</p>
<p>no it was broach</p>
<p>if the not on but on question was wrong, that would be hilariously nitpicking.</p>
<p>wow ■■■ on both notes of you post TRUFFLIEPUFF</p>
<p>but thank you for answering mang</p>
<p>The “not on…but on” question was something like “The something or other was written not on this topic, but on that topic”</p>
<p>I’m unsure as to whether or not there was a comma.</p>
<p>The “incite” answer was about the quote that went, “Fight to have a country free of GM plants! Etc.”</p>
<p>Hmm, the “not on … but on” sentence. I put it contained no errors. I’m not sure if the word: rather is needed to make the sentence grammatically correct. Ah well, I’m pretty sure that’s the only writing question I missed though, so I’ll still get a 75 or something.</p>
<p>@TRUFFLIEPUFF, actually, the CR and the Writing sections were trickier this year. Especially the CR. The vocab was a bit more advanced and the CR, which seemed to be less straight forward, definitely tricked me more than did any of the other PSAT tests CR section from previous years. Especially that Socrates passage.</p>
<p>In my SAT Prep class, my writing teacher said that on the SAT there will NEVER be run-on sentences that do not test conjunctions/coordinators of some kind. I’m 60 percent sure that the run-on sentence in this test is an error made by the collegeboard…</p>
<p>yea i believe they might have messed up…it threw me off that there was no comma, that was probably the only reason that prompted me to think about the not on…but rather on thing.
if there was a comma i guess it could have worked both ways but im not sure now</p>
<p>@chloeee</p>
<p>The “not on . . . but on” sentence did indeed have a comma before the “but.” However, the comma was there because of an appositive, so there wasn’t a comma splice.</p>
<p>So the not on but on question was no error?</p>
<p>Someone brought up the GMAT idioms list; it says there that the correct idiom is “not x, but rather y.”
However, considering the fact that the sentence said “not on x, but on y,” there’s still a debate going on.</p>
<p>what would this be:
CR: -4
W: -2
M -1
pleasepleaseplease at least 220???</p>
<p>It has to be not on X, but on Y because of parallelism. It is no error</p>
<p>the korean has spoken. </p>
<p>gg</p>
<p>@graceee: Actually, I would estimate that to be around the 223-228 score range.</p>
<p>For the (x+z)/y one, does anyone remember the question?</p>
<p>(x+z)/y the question was this:
profit was z, unknown number of tickets sold for y dollars per ticket, expenses were x.
profit=amount made from tickets - expenses</p>
<p>How many tickets were sold in terms of x, y, and z?</p>
