Pre-SAT time is always insane, but the week before the June SAT is the absolute craziest. When I wasn't having a blast with ruakh, frieden, labbygail, socrates208, Matt, and Yevgenia, this week, I was tutoring droves of panicked young 'uns. I made a whole lot of money, but haven't slept well or eaten decently in days ( Read more... )

It was great having you! I'd love to go to the party. How will you be getting there? It would be really cool if we could go together.

Unfortunately, I can't believe that the playing field will ever be fair in these tests. Just wait a year and you'll be seeing books come out entitled 50 Top Scoring SAT Essays and How to Use Grammar the Kaplan way. And just think, next year you may be teaching wide-eyed rich kids to avoid overextending their syntax and to come up with essay ideas on the fly.

I have to agree with you, Squid, there will e new strategies for the writing section...

Writing critic is subjective, this sucks. It makes the SAT subjective, which it BAD for a standardized test.

how will they grade it? will people knead two now hoe too spel without a spell checker

ruakh June 7 2004, 08:40:35 UTC

I don't think spelling will be a factor (except insofar as the graders might have difficulty understanding misspelled words), but "grammar, usage, and mechanics" will be one. [link]
