<p>Test's coming up on Monday :O</p>
<p>If the whole 25/55 MC and 7.00 ave on essays = 4 is true then it should be decently easy since thats what im aiming for.</p>
<p>Appearantly all the questions that are in the MC section are in the chronological order. So if the question #1 is from line 1 and the question #3 is from line 10, then the question #2 comes from BETWEEN line 1 and 10, if it does not have specific citation. So the good thing is that in order to answer #2, you don't have to analyze the whole passage, but analyze only those lines. That's my 2 cents.</p>
<p>Does anyone want to trade recent SATs for MCs from released tests? I have the ones from the college board. Do you have the October, December or January SAT or ACT?</p>
<p>are u sure that MC is in chornological order?</p>
<p>Does anyone know if a grader will read all three essays written by the same student or not?</p>
<p>superpig1000,</p>
<p>No.
You will et 3 different essay readers for each of your essays. Though each reader only reads one type of essay to maintain as a much consitency in the scoring as possible.</p>
<p>So let me get this straight. 3 essays: 1 poetry, 1 prose, 1 free-response?</p>
<p>Are all of them the same length, or what?</p>
<p>No...</p>
<p>it's persuation/devices to do this, argue with or against author, and the SAT-like essay/</p>
<p>it's literary devices for one, rhetorical for the other, and the last is open ended</p>
<p>actually it changes every year, but then this year there probably will be at least one analysis (devices/strategies, etc.) and one open prompt</p>
<p>Well im about to START studying im gonna get all the terms down or at least highlight some important ones take a few practice MCs and outline a couple essays.. good idea?</p>
<p>One question too... 4 paragraphs is ideal right, to save time and so on??</p>
<p>Does anyone have advice on how to pace on multiple choice? i never have enough time to finish the last passage during practice (i usually take an extra 5 min and usually get all the questions) but timing is just a problem</p>
<p>DOes anyone know how accurate the curve posted on the first page of this thread is? I've noticed that different books vary greatly in how scores are calculated.</p>
<p>What is the best strategy for the multiple choice? I lack most in that area.</p>
<p>ok.. I'm really really really worried.. we havent done a single practice test all year.. I'm in IB english.. And ya.. the test is tomorrow.. wut do i DO.. I was relatively calm, but now as it gets closer and closer.. I HAVE NO IDEA *** IM DOING.. </p>
<p>srsly.. ok.. so how is the test formatted.. what kind of essays.. I have never written an argumentative essay in my LIFE.. i cant believe our teacher told us to take this.. omgg.. someone help.. i think i'm going insane.. blah</p>
<p>We haven't done any preparation for MC questions, but we've done around....15 prompts throughout the year. :(</p>
<p>I expect to get a 3. Oh well.</p>
<p>The majority type of prompts:</p>
<p>Stylistic (evaluate style and language (diction, syntax, etc.)author uses to convey points)
Argumentative (Support/refute/defend what an author says in a passgae)
Rhetoric (analyze rhetorical stratgies used to effectively convey their argument)</p>
<p>No need to go insane. Argumentative is quite simple if you have clear thought. Just put down your opinions about the argument (support /refute/ or defend) the author presents using literary, personal, or historical evidence.</p>
<p>The biggest problem for me is the 60mins/55questions on the MC. Right now, I have the Sparknotes PowerPack, Cliff's, and Barron's. Does anybody know which questions are most accurate??</p>
<p>Aren't stylsitc and rhetoric very similar?</p>
