<p>there are only two tennis courts at nmtech</p>
<p>what did you guys do when the courts were full?</p>
<p>Umm.....I don't think many people every played badminton or tennis at a given time, so it never really became a problem. There aren't many other people on campus to deal with either. </p>
<p>For the evaluations, you just do a survey-ish thing about your experiences.</p>
<p>there's only one court at ojai.. when there were more than 4 people who wanted to play.. we played untraditional tennis, where either more than 2 people were on a side, or where we rotated in. it really wasn't a problem after the first week when the tennis craze died down.</p>
<p>haha SAT craze everywhere
asdfjkl; hey it's calm in here so imma ask a question: if i don't have uber-specific examples (like, 12.4% of Americans are over 263 pounds) and just said something more general (many Americans are overweight) would that lower my score.</p>
<p>and i didn't say "In book Blahblah, the author tells us that this happened." I just said "this happened" no specific book name or stat.</p>
<p>Interesting, we seem to have had different essay questions. I can't imagine overweight Americans coming up. And Narcissa you should have just fabricated the uber specific stats; you don't lose points for factual inaccuracies.</p>
<p>It's strange, they forbid us to discuss the paper, but who doesn't? And has anyone ever been caught?</p>
<p>You know it actually makes sense to set different essay questions for India versus America because we are 9 1/2 hours ahead of you lot. Just enough time to finish the SAT and slip answers to someone overseas.</p>
<p>huh i know...forgot to. but how many examples do you like need for a 12? i have 2 pretty concrete ones..and one wishy washy one.
topic sentence: technology leads to health problems
support: americans are fat (:</p>
<p>topic: natures helps you achieve inner peace
support : walden</p>
<p>topic: technology leads to moral depravity (yes i know, extreme but hey who cares)
support: something about how white people who were kidnapped by indians never want to return to English society</p>
<p>Going by "the blue book" (The official study guide), BOTH the 6-scoring essays had only ONE very elaborate and flowery example ("I was walking down the corridor when blah blah blah..." - hell of a lot of beating around the bush in my opinion). ALL the essays that strove for more than one example scored less than a 6. The comments said "the candidate has to develop the examples more". Sorry if this is nasty news, but the SAT writing section is messed up!</p>
<p>How the hell did you get 3 topics? Are two of them, like decoys?</p>
<p><em>looks online to see if anyone else has posted their essay topics, and how searchable it is</em> haha I see this guy named Kushal, an Indian name I shall note, has posted our sat topic on physicsforums.com and it only took a google search to find it. nah, I think I'll pass. I shall honour my binding-document signature whatever <em>army salute</em>.</p>
<p>SAT</a> writing test topic I can however shamelessly link to his dirty work.</p>
<p>nah, they were all related somehow, even if my explanations don't really show it</p>
<p>and haha, decoys</p>
<p>and i wrote the same crap in 8th grade twice and got a 9 and a 12 so i really dont have a clue what its going to be this time -__-</p>
<p>that wasn't my topic, however, but you can certainly find my topic if you just click the "new posts" button at the top and refresh every few minutes</p>
<p>This may seem utterly random, but whenever people say Walden I only think Waldo. The funnier part is that I've never actually seen a Where's Waldo before. THere was just a time where people used to submit "I found Waldo" a lot to the mugglenet harry potter caption contests and Wikipedia was my saviour, as usual.</p>
<p>lol i did way more than 3 examples and i still did just fine..
i think it's because i didn't really do the whole 5 paragraph structure thing. i did more of an.. here's my argument in logical progression with each premise being another paragraph, and i warranted each premise with examples and briefly explained them? so i ended up using.. 8-ish examples?
they're not just looking for your examples, but just how you write in general.. and thankfully mechanics doesn't count for too too much ;)</p>
<p>hey...anyone from new jersey that's going to socorro? maybe we could travel together lol.</p>
<p><em>jumping up and down</em> NOOOO! I got a math question wrong!!! What the hell I swear I must have been BLIND! WHY? WHY??? and why does blindness have to leave me now and make me feel so useless!!!! WHYYYYYYYYYY?????</p>
<p><em>sob</em>. Got I must seem so lame fretting over a single question. BUt the frightening part is I thought that was my 'awake' section (my 'asleep' sections were sections 4-5). Lesson: go to sleep at 8pm so that even with 2 hours of insomnia you're still asleep by 10!</p>
<p>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I hate myself! I will jump off something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <em>jumps off bed</em></p>
<p><em>sob</em>.</p>
<p>I did the exact same thing.
A few weeks later, you realize that it's not that big of a deal.. :)</p>
<p>i got two wrong... the time i took that test... sigh*</p>
<p>yes, that would suggest more prolly in the experimental section.</p>
<p>SATIIs... i got like 2 stupid physics questions wrong... that i know of... and i had no idea what i was bubbling for US History since most of the time i don't even know the time period the question is asking.</p>
<p>Oh, Lethal...</p>
<p>Trust me.
Your score will not be as bad as mine.
When I got my scores, I almost cried... :(</p>
<p>eh, my scores were not great either. I was so close to getting a really high score but the march SAT curve was kinda weird.</p>
<p>hey, I have a question: what is this SAT curve people keep talking about?</p>
<p>Basically there is a raw score that is based directly on how many questions you get right and how many you get wrong.</p>
<p>And then collegeboard has a scaled score that converts the raw score to a score that is in 200-800. And it varies for every test... </p>
<p>Sometimes, you can get one question wrong on the math and still get an 800. Sometimes it drops to a 780. It sucks</p>
<p>And my 150th post is post #1000 on this thread. Alrightttt :]</p>
