College Board Lament

May 03, 2004 12:30

Oh College Board, what we lost today was so beautiful, so special, so rare. I trusted you, I respected you, I thought you would never disappoint me. You treated me well until today, College Board, and for that, I loved you. You asked me questions, simple and clear, and I filled in the corresponding ovals, and analyzed the rhetorical strategies ( Read more... )

jackie jackie jackie.... when will you learn... youre college platinum! youre gonna get a 4 at the worst, and youll still get in wherever you want, and then youll laugh back at sex in the media, which in reality is a pretty good topic

Isn't it illegal to be discussing this?

Besides, the third essay was way harder.

Even if the College Board DOES check livejournals to be sure people wait 48 hours to discuss the essays, it doesn't matter for me, I have no hope now anyway. It's the rest of you who are screwed. :) That means you, Mr. Benhaim. No score for you!

agreed and agreed...but i liked the 2nd one...=D

no way! stevieismyalias May 3 2004, 17:47:12 UTC

the 3rd essay was the easiest. i didnt that one first! i liked it. the second one however. *dies* and the first one.....they didnt give us any rhetorical strategies to work with. im blonde. i cant think of those things off the top of my head. i think i got a 1. *cries*

Re: no way! stevieismyalias May 3 2004, 17:49:21 UTC

i did that one first** (just to clarify)

Re: no way! xspeaker May 3 2004, 22:07:35 UTC

The third one was the worst.

Re: no way! blueberrybabee May 3 2004, 18:24:48 UTC

Nooo, I'm sure you did fine... at least better than a 1. :) There's hope for you. And I thought the 1st one was fine... it was at the second one that I pretty much stopped collecting any points whatsoever.

Actually, I believe there is hope for all of us. Jaxx, let's say you did well enough on the multiple choice to get a raw score of 40-45 (certainly probable, this means you got maybe two questions wrong per passage), then you only need a total raw score of about 18 on the essays to get a 5 on the test. So, supposing you got a 7 (slightly better than adequate) on the first and third essay, and a 4 (considerably less than adequate) on the second, you still will get a 5 on the test. Even if you got a measly 2 on the second essay, you would only need 8's on the first and third essays, and it sounds like you are pretty smug about essays. Indeed, there is a good chance you still got a 5, and if not, you are pretty much guaranteed a 4. Nice work!

Wow... thanks. Maybe you're right... maybe I can still end up with a 4 or whatever. That'd be nice. Oh, and I'm not smug, just... generally optimistic... about essays. :)

Easy for you to say, Mr. 5.
