<p>aw man this is going really bad for me... should i cancel if i so far got like 5 wrong on cr?</p>
<p>5 wrong is not horrible but i got 800 last time so i think it'd look really weird to colleges...</p>
<p>don't cancel, no point to it (if you get a good score, yay, if you get a bad score, retake, colleges don't care about past low scores)</p>
<p>i just used regular examples, i compared the invention of fire with the invention of the blackberry and how the two have been interpretted and can be interpretted and what they were made for and how the purpose of innovation/invention has stayed the same over time.
last time i just filled up the two pages, used some em-dashes, a few big words, and normal examples and pulled off a 12. the whole literary example/historical example/personal example thing is not really necessary</p>
<p>don't worry, most schools have admins who superscore your marks before they are sent to the adcoms, so they won't see if you got lower than before</p>
<p>i have like 5 wrong too :(</p>
<p>blue, does that mean admission officers only see the highest score combined?</p>
<p>If you guys dont mind answering any of the following questions...</p>
<ol>
<li>Is there an international version of SAT?</li>
<li>every time?</li>
<li>is it totally different from the US one?</li>
<li>Do kids in all countries other than US take this test?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks A LOT in advance</p>
<p>i know that's for some schools where adcoms don't have the time to look at every score...but you should email ask the schools you are applying to specifically</p>
<p>1) yes
2) sometimes, oct was the same for both US and int'l
3) yup
4)yup</p>
<p>any Canadians here?</p>
<p>hi blue! 10 char</p>
<p>The Disney passage was an experimental section in June, but can it be a scored section now?</p>
<p>Has anyone NOT got the Disney section?</p>
<p>I am a Canadian!
Today's test is so different from the American version. The October one was the same!
When I came on to CC I thought I got the wrong test.</p>
<p>What does 10 char mean?</p>
<p>Oh and the probability one is 1/16; I double checked like 20 times. You can actually get to area = 1. The large square is 16, so 1/16.</p>
<p>A friend of mine said that he was discussing the test with someone else at his centre and the girl he was talking to didn't have any recollection of a disney passage, so i think it is the experimental</p>
<p>yay! are you guys 2012ers? 13ers?</p>
<p>Disney was the experimental...the only section i think i aced <em>sigh</em></p>
<p>I am 2013er. I love CANADA!</p>
<p>Oh btw there is like a triangle with ABC with DEF triangle enclosed inside and it involves ratio 3 to 1 or something. That question is easy BUT I couldn't find the answer choice!</p>
<p>I am glad that the Disney section wasn't counted. I don't get the phony/something/something question...-.-... weird...</p>
<p>oh, that one was 8sq3 something like that...</p>
<p>:( me sad.</p>
<p>Neineibu-where in canada?</p>
<p>2012er!, yea i liked the disney section too =(, and yea i got the 1/16 wrong because i didn't count my squares closely enough</p>
<p>BC Canada... exact location is not available... for... safety reasons</p>
<p>i got that too!</p>
<p>lol, i am from ON</p>
<p>nice to meet you all :)</p>
<p>I am worried about my essays. I wrote that nowadays technology is for commercial value but in the past, technology saves millions of lives. And I wrote about new tech gadgets and stuff.</p>
<p>Btw what did you guys get for the last question on the last section. It has a triangle with another triangle enclosed and ratio of 3:1 blah blah blah. I calculated it and the answer WASN'T ONE OF THE FIVE CHOICES!</p>
<p>I was flabbergast! I just picked the one that is closest to the answer I got.</p>
<p>Blue sky can you send me your email? ^.^ Nice to meet a person from Ontario. My bro is at U of T.</p>
<p>i wrote aboutt.. how in the past technology was used to make our lives easier/more convenient.. but b/c of our imprudent use of some technology, now we are inventing technology to help alleviate those problems</p>
<p>ie- cars/gasoline helped us w/ transportation and made our lives easier.. but now b/c of the global wrming, we have to come up with hybrid cars, biofuels, etcetc.. would thtat work? =/</p>
<p>they are good examples.</p>
<p>mine was horrible. i talked about the invention of internet and the current use of internet (i.e. eBay, google, and facebook). it was badly written too...ay</p>
