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

Hurry up college board! I need my October qas :confused:

Ya the super obvious experimental section was a joke on the october test. I actually tried for some reason. I hope i get the obvious one on saturday. In other news i took math and writing today while sick and got 800,800 with only one writing wrong. Feeling excited for saturday regardless of my health !

I wana really throw away my experimental but Im afraid ill be throwing away a section that turns out to not be experimental XD

@krauser126
A friend of mine took the June SAT and got an experimental on math section. She told me itā€™s more about the level of difficulty because she didnā€™t realize it was an experimental after she left the testing center realizing she had 4 sections of math. The math questions on the experimental section are way harder than ā€œnormalā€ SAT math problems. Thatā€™s all she told me.

I hope youā€™ll get an experimental thatā€™s easy to be identified this Saturday! :slight_smile: Good luck!

@kentonpalmer
Congrats!! Thatā€™s great. Iā€™m still cramming the Erica grammer bookā€¦

@Wreckdecembersat Thanks! I hope you do as well. Currently Iā€™m just doing lots of Grammar practice sections. Already got 800 on Nov. SAT for Math.ive been prepping all summer for CR and got unlucky on Nov. so all I wana do is really prep for Writing and hope for a good CR :stuck_out_tongue:

@krauser126
Iā€™m using a grammar book to study for writing. will memorize more vocabs later and do some practice tests.
Craving for a 2250++++++++ ahhhhhhhh Iā€™m so nervous

Lol turns out its not a bad thing i was sick!!! There was like a gun drawn or something at my school today and they were in lock down for 4 hours while i was doing practice tests at home. I think if i focus in and dont make any silly mistakes i believe iā€™m capable of the 2300 even while sick!!!

What are the chances Iā€™ll be allowed to take the test? Iā€™m on the wait list XD

Okay so since I had the math experimental last time, Iā€™d say the way to identify it is that the questions and answers look way more wordy than usual, like I mean it looks like paragraphs, you will probably feel like you canā€™t even finish, and the questions they ask will be way out of the ballpark (ex. what would this researcher do to help his study?). Itā€™s really obvious and I just decided to bubble in random answers halfway through. Donā€™t try to do it if you know itā€™s experimental for sure, I got way too stressed out for no reason.

Can anyone else come up with the blatant ways to identify the critical reading and writing experimental sections? I think that would benefit us all so we can have a nice break in one of sections 2-7!

Also, does anyone have any tips for critical reading? For context, every question I missed on the November CR was only from passage based reading and they were all ranked difficult.

@krauser126 High, lots of people decided to cancel their December test after seeing their November score. Also Iā€™ve personally never been in a sat room with perfect attendance.

Weird I havenā€™t studied since day before Nov. test and I just took a practice test and got 2330 which is higher than I ever got when I was constantly studying. Hopefully this happens again tomorrow lol

Any advice for critical?

And what time is the exam? :stuck_out_tongue:

Youā€™re supposed to be there by 7:30, the test usually starts around 8.
Thereā€™s a lot of guides to CR on here that you could read. I think my method is a little too unique and itā€™d probably just make things confusing.

11 hours left here :confused:

The tests takes place at diff times in diff countries ,right ?

So canā€™t people cheat this way ?

@satlmaobye You canā€™t. Or else the FBI will be knocking on your door.

@krauser126 they have discussed answers on previous threads before, this one doesnt make a difference. the person was asking if we could discuss them after the exam.
