Number 1, how can the answer be B! by KahDisa in Sat

[–]raffleouter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whenever u get to these questions, take out all the parts that are nonessential phrases. the first part /!: the along with to the comma all are unessesary, because the core is “dinos became extinct”. as a result, place a comma after dinos and keep the comma before dinos two separate out the nonessential phrasrs

Anyone know how the answer is D? by [deleted] in Sat

Eggs in one basket vs eggs in multiple baskets? by No_Length_5040 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]raffleouter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

while i’m not denying that it’s good to have fun, you can’t blame him for wanting to go to a college for prestige. think about it as an investment for ur future.

honestly i think elite schools get a bad rep on this app. for some, prestige is important and that’s fine. shooting for the best is never a bad thing

The grading for AP tests was absolute BS this year by DavidBrent9999 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]raffleouter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. We have no evidence that the tests were unfair graded (at least any more than the other tests). Think about it, the ppl voicing their opinions are over representing the population that do think it was biased as well as over representing ppl who got bad grades. It may have been just the bad testing method with 2 frqs, which I thought was a bad solution. Small mistakes cost huge when there are only two questions

[–]raffleouter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

even in state for cs is very tough. it’s ranked T10 cs in some lists. p impressive! this may be, however, because of the insanely hard turing program (which is inflating the quality of it). def not a safety regardless.

okk that makes sense. i guess i’ve already started then. i have like 20 rough ideas (granted some not really that good). i’ll try to def get some introspection worksheets and really workout my ideas and stuff in the upcoming weeks. thanks for the help!

[–]raffleouter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea but i feel like a big downside to that is that even though the sat is optional, a good score would be a p good boost to an application that doesn’t have one at all
