<p>Anybody who took the SAT today and who had 4 Math Sections, was Math Section 3 the experimental one? I did badly on the last several questions, and I'm hoping that was experimental. Just for reference, it was the one with the Supply and Demand equations that referred to 4 questions.</p>
<p>Did that section have questions aboutbpaving a parking lot?</p>
<p>It’s last question was something about Force and how much something bends.</p>
<p>Not sure about that one…was there an early q about populations of a town by age group?</p>
<p>Yeah. that one. Was that edxperinmental?</p>
<p>I think so. I found it considerably harder than the other math sections. Why do you think it may be experimental?</p>
<p>Same reason. We should get more people who had 4 math sections to answer this</p>
<p>which were your CR passages?</p>
<p>I had four CR sections, so that means I didn’t have the experimental math one. I’m fairly certain I didn’t have a question about force and things bending. I didn’t have a supply and demand one either, so that may have been the experimental section. I did have a question about population and ages though.</p>
<p>Libby123… I also had 4 CR on today’s sat. The vocab in the first CR seemed considerably more difficult than the vocab in the others. Not sure which was the experimental</p>
<p>which do you think experimental was?</p>
<p>I agree with jpd, the first critical reading section seemed to be the most difficult to me. The vocab and the large passage were much more difficult than the others. The passage was about the relationship between the rich and the poor and how maintaining inequality is better than everyone living in poverty or something like that? And I think there was a short passage about video games. It’s hard to remember since it was the first section -___- Does this sound familiar to anyone with four maths?</p>
<p>The CR section with 8 SC and a dual long passage was the experimental…. hope this helps! Is was the first CR section I had and it scared the crap out of me.</p>
<p>I had 4 CR passages. There were two long passages, one was about a woman and her mother living in an apartment with a window or something and the other was about the fishing I think (or that could’ve been dual). Not sure which was experimental, but woman and window passage was hard af</p>
<p>It was the dual passage one!???! Thank goodness! That one was the only one I found any difficult.</p>
<p>I also had 4 math sections and thought that 3 was the experimental one. It was the section that had a question about ml conversion and one about costs of paving some kind of area consisting of rectangles and triangles, right?</p>
<p>For the late reference, I am 100% certain that it was a dummy.</p>
<p>My reasoning is:
- questions were unfair: it was lengthy and not adequately leveled for SAT Math which officially requires only geometry to solve its problems. Also, there were few questions that should at least take ~3 min (or more) to finish - I mean there were some question that required practical solving, instead of formulaic solving ( the time limit couldn’t fit in for practical solving ).
- questions were weird: apparently, answer for 4th question for paving a parking lot could not be solved since there was absolutely no information given for parking lot #4. I have read over and over, yet I was unable to find any information for that question (#9). And there were few like that.</p>
<p>Truthfully, I have certain confidence over math and science. However, the section stunned me hard, and I was unable to finish it; instead, I got mad over the stupid questions, such as #9, and stopped solving questions after about 10-15minute mark while believing that the section is dummy XD. (I usually finish math section within 10 minutes)</p>
<p>There was 1 Math section that just DID NOT go well for me :/</p>
<p>So I am not the only who struggled with that section 3. I did only 10 questions. They should put it at the end because it could kill someone’s confidence.</p>
