@SKGUN11 (don't even know how to use atarnotes)
Well what was your storyline then? Usually whenever I write short stories I avoid dialogue so I wrote really less dialogue which was "Please, take me." "Please" :/ I think it'll be fine if you had a good storyline then! You know for reading comprehension in the second column did you get a lot of As? I barely read any of the texts and questions I just guessed argghh regrets.

I thought it meant by manipulating objectssss

Hahaha! My storyline was about this guy who was running away from the cops because he had to meet his wife with his new baby in the hospital. Since I thought converse meant "interact", wrote about how the walls and objects came to life and helped him get to the hospital avoiding the cops. I ended up kind of writing about transformer machines as well! It is so bad Such a basic and irrelevent story

What did you guys write about?

Reaching comprehension was that I guessed C a lot. I did all the grammar questions and the short passages. Didnt get to read any long passages except for the river passage. I guessed like 20!

Hopefully we get an interview! Good luck man!

If you folks did the test again, would you try and get through it a little faster? I'm unsure whether to take a little bit of time for each question and leave a few, or to go as fast as I can in an attempt to finish them all. Thanks

Honestly, the way I did it was good for me. It is just that I am not fast enough at reading. Go through grammar first, then short passages and if time, the rest!

ikr? fml! hopefully most people fked that up.  I wish they would just write "Imagine if you could talk to inanimate objects. arghh

Omg SKGUN I guessed like 30 or 40, I didn't read any long ones as well I didn't even skim through them i had no time but I looked for the grammar questions and I did them first because they're easier. I wrote about:
I wrote that I was walking past a shop then a doll inside the shop was calling for me. "Please take me." "Please" And then like it looked really evil but then it reminded me of my dead mother and it had my mother's smile so then I bought it.  then that night I put it next to me then I was thinking about my dead mother again how our old house went on fire and I was just watching and I didn't save her and then I felt uneasy that night and couldn't sleep. So then I  looked next to me and the doll was gone and then I saw flames and then I died and i ended it with. "Now i'm with mother. I'm up there with her"

Something like this, kinda forgot..

What were your reasons for persuasive? I only had 2 reasons omg I'm so sad, I think I could've done better. And @Hannibal, I would go faster haha I spent long on the maths questions; some of them wasted my time argh

[Asteriskkk]

Well i wrote how this guy had a power to change objects
turn water into some display (waterbending?) and fold a paper into an eccentric shape, and how he flowed with the objects... it sounds really cheesy but i used alot of creative techniques

Wow thats actually pretty good! My persuasive arguments were
-It is cruel.
-Wrecks main purpose of zoos/sanctuaries.
-Humans are using power wrong.
-Not all animals of the specie can perform that way.
-Does not teach correctly.
-Unfair to put animals through this while they are already kept captive by caging.

I did intro, 2 body, rebuttal and conclusion. Managed to finish the essay actually haha. Wrote until the final 3 lines from bottom of the final page. I did heaps of rhetorical questions. I am kinda proud with that but not sure if it is readable haha. Rushed handwriting.

[Angelx001]

I swear omg SKGUN we're like twins?!?!? For the persuasive I had 3 more lines until 2 pages as well omg hahaha this is density nah jokes but like it's such a coincidence! haha omg I was going to do a rebuttal but it said to only choose one side so i wasnt sure so didn't do it just in case

Mines goes by
-Can cause an animal to just snap, or become mentally unstable
-Cannot change instinctive traits of an animal therefore dangerous to trainer and animal
-Fatalities caused by use of animals with entertainment intentions
-Unintentional fatality can lead to misjudged euthanasia on animal
