December 2010 SAT Experimental

<p>@gal1234, yeah i had that too</p>

<p>Anyone remember their reading sections? My experimental was reading, and we still don’t really know which ones were experimental…</p>

<p>i had
critical reading
double passages on local foods vs raised foods
passage about encounter with the writer
mehndi (body art)</p>

<p>For Journalism/Indian woman/Cold War/Architecture test: Cold war was experimental.</p>

<p>didn’t have Architecture test</p>

<p>I also didn’t have an architecture test</p>

<p>Did anyone have one about a Japanese guy with a translator? Or one about a guy who gets lost in a forest?</p>

<p>I had a passage about mehndi, writing (HEATH), farming, and robots and whole bunch of nonsense.
^ same here</p>

<p>@gal: i had japanese guy (mr. horosaka or something) but nothing about a guy and aforest</p>

<p>Okay then, its safe to say that:</p>

<p>the passage about the guy who got lost often and enjoyed getting it lost - considered it a privlege - was EXPERIMENTAL</p>

<p>That’s a shame though, because I really liked that passage.</p>

<p>Cold War experimental was SUPER easy. I’m pretty sure I got 24/24 on that. Too bad it doesn’t count ):</p>

<p>I am certain that I had an experimental Writing section; there were two 25 minute (35 questions) back to back (sections 3-4). One had the essay about C.S. Lewis/Children’s writing, and I believe the second one had an essay about a someone who enjoyed biking instead of driving. I hope the section that consisted of the latter is the actual section that is being scored, for I don’t think I did so well on the former. Or is it vise-versa?</p>

<p>I was hoping that I would get a math experimental, only because I can handle the time restrains in the math section as opposed critical reading and writing, though I nail the writing sections all the time.</p>

<p>I actually enjoyed the passages this time, save for the farming double passage which was kind of weird. I had:</p>

<p>-Farming (Double Passage)
-Japanese Guy and Translators
-Henna Tatoos
-Woman getting interviewed by Heath and reading/writing
-The Power of Math</p>

<p>There were probably one or two more I can’t remember, but I would’ve liked to have the one about the guy who got lost lol. It sounds really funny!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Biking was non-experimental, CS Lewis/writing for children was experimental.</p>

<p>So here’s my theory:</p>

<p>Since there are too many expirementals (ie I had back to back writing but I also had a supposedly expiremental CR) maybe there were 3 different expirementals? I knwo for sure there were 3 different tests, and there was a math section that I didn’t get. So what if we all compared our tests (like how many sections we had and what was in each section). I took the test like 8 hours ago so I’m not crystal on everything.</p>

<ol>
<li>Essay (can we technically talk about this since West Coast has finished testing? I’m wondering if there were more than one topics)</li>
<li>Writing: I had the one about biking, but I can’t remember anything else</li>
<li>CR: I had architecture, astronomy, seva (indian american journalist), media and boxing, not necessarily in that order</li>
<li>Math: I don’t remember anything</li>
</ol>

<p>I had 4 math sections (3 x 25 min and 1 x 20 min) and 3 reading sections, one of which was also 20 minutes. I guess, on of math sections was experimental. Do you think it was the 20 min one (since there was one 20 min critical section)?</p>

<p>i think section 2 math was experimental. i had 3 cr: japanese, power of math, farming and 4 math sections.</p>

<p>there was one section,number 2 for me that was extremely hard in terms of vocab. Do you guys think it was experimental? It did not fit with the other critical reading sections;therefore,I thought it was experimental.</p>

<p>Will collegeboard post the orders of the sections (including the experimental sections) soon? I know they did so in the past.</p>

<p>^As far as I know, CB no longer reveals the experimental section.</p>

<p>So did anyone else get 4 math sections and believe section 2 was the experimental ?</p>
