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

@questionasker123 i got lackadaisical for that one…the speaker was uninterested aka “lackadaisical”

@kdoran25 yes. her contribution to her daughter was large, and therefore prodigious

@kdoran25 did you pick would as the error?

people keep saying they got 5 no errors how so?

@mochilate1897 thanks! I got the spectacular for the mountains one but how could it be the frame the discussion? Cause the mountains related very little to the discussion of venus

@kdoran25 are you sure that you read the problem that way? Because if it was that obvious, I would have picked up on it, and I remember a “would not have”

@kdoran25 that’s a little too many…I ended up with 3 or 4 (max). I think alot of people picked no error for would miss her bus…but I’m pretty sure that had an error lol. How many NE’s did you get?

yes because had goes with would have not would… would goes with were as a word pair

@eagles47 I guess that because they talked about Mars’s mountains and volcanos, but the overall purpose and topic was not about how great Earth is, but more about what’s going on with Mars and Venus

For the bus question wasn’t the question “Had her departure occurred much later, Maria would have missed the bus.” I put “occurred much” as the error, mainly because it sounds so awkward and the much doesn’t seem necessary.

anyone remember if there was “answer cannot be determined” or something like that for the math section?

@exo123 that was the answer

@IneffableMind I think that one was no error, are you 100% sure that the question was written exactly that way?

definitely correct because it was 5+25+x= 10+20 or something along those lines but no matter what u plugged in it would work it was like 30+x/2 = 30+x/2

@mochilate1897 That’s what I remember. Does anyone else remember the question beginning like that?

For identifying errors, there were many questions that I found no error, but I became very suspicious of the fact there could be so many so I either left them empty or guessed.

@IneffableMind If that’s what the question was, then it should be No Error.

For one of the reading questions, it asked if what the mother was meaning when describing the haiku or something… choices were like 1) economy of expression, 2) flexibility of form, etc. i said flexibility of form because she says that in those limited lines, she could talk about many things, therefore flexible. agreed?

also, 99% of the time, can’t be determined isn’t the correct answer choice.

also, comparable to is wrong english. it’s comparable with. But i did get a lot of no error questions that i thought was strange.

Do you guys feel we could get in a lot of trouble for talking about the sat?

@nervusguy the answer was definitely cannot be determined for that problem on math. You ended with a=a and were asked to find a…
Which problem was the comparable to one?
