***December 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

It was antagonistic

I got “bound to cause lack of concentration”, not “pertinent to writing.”

@Ialwayspanic I got antaginistic too though. I couldn’t find any evidence for each of the others.

I pretty sure it was it will get fossilized because the calcium was coming from the object itself (bones) and it said if it breaks off it will fossilized, and the passage said it broke off.

@annoyingorange thats what i got

@garyasho2 yeah that’s what i got as well

did you guys get 2x+3 = to 0 as one of the answers?

@annoyingorange No, only one paragraph described it as flashy.

I did not have any passage about the Cold War so good for you :slight_smile: and smn tell me what did u get for the math question with like (2x-3)(sth) - (9x-5)(3x) = 0 so what is 2x+3 ? I said 2/3 but idk why

I said flashy because the second paragraph said how it attracted a lot of people

Well that was a painful start to a Saturday…
I expect a significantly lower score this time around :frowning:
For the first half of the test it was almost impossible to concentrate because all these proctors kept opening and closing these super squeaky doors and some group of kids talked SO LOUD outside the room and wouldn’t shut up. Plus some dude had a pretty bad cold and would blow his nose obnoxiously loud every five minutes.
Ended up guessing on like four questions in the CR which was a very dumb idea since I took the ACT last month and forgot that guessing can count against you on the SAT…
Annnnnndddd writing sucked.
Math wasn’t awful, but I felt like I did better on it the first time I took it.
God this was a horrible experience. Guess I’m signing up for the January test!!

Thanks :slight_smile: But as I read these, I realized that I screwed up on the ads and fossil passages :frowning: Oh well, at least my CR standards weren’t exceptionally high to begin with

For the writing/procrastination passage:

-there was a question about passage 1 author’s view on the circumstances of P2 author
-was the answer “pertinent to writing and not abstractness” or “bound to cause lack of concentration”

@questionasker123 I got more likely to lose concentration too and found specific evidence for it.

@questionasker123 I didnt get any of those 2

I did not have any passage about the Cold War so good for you and smn tell me what did u get for the math question with like (2x-3)(sth) - (9x-5)(3x) = 0 so what is 2x+3 ? I said 2/3 but idk why

cause lack of concentration

what do you guys think -2 in math will be? 740?

yes -2 is 730-740

Did you guys have an article about the Eggs for Writing? Was that an experimental?
