@PartyNextDoor Not an experimental.

that passage about railroads was not an experimental because i had a math experimental

@PartyNextDoor The one with the intersection of the reflected f(x)

You had the same expression on both sides right?

There was this writing question I think 15.? that asked something like

Upon observing the campaigns ofA several candidates B, XX(a person) determined C who would be D the best mayor. E No Error
I put No error, but D seems correct as it could be (would become? or could be?) what did u guys put down?
note that all the underlined portions are right before the letters

@hanna99 Nice! Anyone here want to apply Columbia?

Does everyone get an experimental? I didn’t think I had one in November, and none of my sections today seemed unusual…

@PartyNextDoor it gave you the graph of f(x) and asked for the number of intersections between that when reflected over the y axis and y=3/2 (so I assume as people say). I put y=3/2x so thats an entirely different line.

@Hickey
That question has been repeated several times. The answer is 8, and the explanation is on a previous page (I believe around pg. 25)

Really bummed, made 2 really dumb mistakes on math and omitted one I could have solved. What did people get for the triangle one that had an angle of 70 degrees? Like which of the three statements were true?

Also kind of messed up CR/Writing. Hoping the Cold War one was experimental because I missed one in there. What did you guys say for “to frame the discussion” vs. “emphasize Earth’s…” I put the latter. I also messed up acolyte vs. martinet. I’m iffy on my writing section- what did you guys get for the one about the octopus? I can’t really remember the question. Also there was one question at the end that I struggled with, it was something about a Ping Pong diplomacy and I couldn’t decide between “the diplomacy that” and “…diplomacy, which”

can -1 be 800 for math???!?!?!!? Please,my parents are going to destroy me if I don’t get an 800 in math

cold war is experimental i got a math experimental and didn’t see a mention of the cold war

@TheEpic2401Man from my past experience, highly unlikely…

@collegeprepcac
The triangle question was all three.
I got frame the discussion, and “the diplomacy that” (which I think was answer choice A)

Does anyone know how many questions you can omit and miss in each section in order to get at least 600 :-?

@collegeprepcac I put to frame the discussion, could be wrong though.

I said frame discussion and I think I said diplomacy that. Btw for cr what did you guys say for the question about procrastination? Mindless thinking and not intense focus or unconscious?

sorry to ask again, but was the section with the “martinet…deviation” vocab question one of the experimentals?

@0hcheet0s @TheEpic2401Man
Look up Panda SAT calculator on google. And I highly doubt -1 is 800, probably around 770.

@Periso Wait, so did it say y=3/2x or y=3/2?
