December 2009 SAT Test Discussion

<p>^ You guys probably got an easier booklet.</p>

<p>I thought i understood the passage about the boy and limited fame, but when i got to the questions, it seemed that the answers i was looking for wasn’t there!!!</p>

<p>so i when back to the passage and read the important lines, but i still couldn’t get the answer!!</p>

<p>what was the answer about “sir Isaac newton, da vinci”?
And why did the boy go to the roof?</p>

<p>—writing was OK. it seemed to me there were a lot of “no errors”. so i got skeptical and didn’t bubble some of those answers.</p>

<p>The last error problem, something like, “The USCA sticker can be found on some fruits to make sure they were grown without pesticides”</p>

<p>what was that?</p>

<p>I think it was easier than the October SAT.</p>

<p>Hopefully my score agrees.</p>

<p>Of the reading what really annoyed me most was the one about the boy on the roof. I honestly didn’t get the passage at all and could only vaguely grasp the whole thing about limited fame being related to his father and the movie theater they went to. It was all really boring and lame. </p>

<p>The math was easier than I thought until I went on here and saw that several of the questions I thought I had right were wrong. but not too many of them. I think I did pretty good on the math. </p>

<p>The reading was alright as well, and the writing is always very easy for me. I got the prompt about privacy vs. convenience/free stuff. </p>

<p>I wonder which one was the experimental? I hope not any of the writing because those were really easy for me. Hopefully it was one of the maths.</p>

<p>Overall, the test didn’t seem too bad. From reading here, I see few mistakes, but who knows :(</p>

<p>Fortunately, I don’t care about the result because I already got a satisfactory ACT score. :slight_smile: (paid for stupid test in advance).</p>

<p>the 6x/y=2/3 was 4, was it not?</p>

<p>i guess my booklet was completely different…</p>

<p>probably coz i tested in Nepal</p>

<p>I had two 35 question writing sections… which was the experimental?</p>

<p>^ The one with the boy and his desk passage for questions 34-39.</p>

<p>And the label food one in the real writing section, the right answer (thus incorrect grammar) was “insure.”</p>

<p>Did anyone get “obvious” as an answer to one of the critical reading questions?</p>

<p>^ Yes, it was the answer (99% sure) to the one in the manga passage about the “secret.”</p>

<p>duke99:
i had the same test too
not alot of ppl got this test
GAAHH i was so annoyed with the passage with the man writing his own biography
its like he hates fame and commercializing oneself yet hes giving excuses for writing his own biography</p>

<p>Does anyone remember if they got 5 on the openended math twice? Let me know.</p>
