Did anyone take the Sunday SAT today?

<p>Did anyone take the Sunday SAT today? How was it? Were there any hard vocab words or math problems?</p>

2

<p>Was the sunday test similar to saturday test? After looking through the math,cr, writing threads on here did you find any that were the same?</p>

3

<p>^I second that eagles. I am curious also.</p>

4

<p>Gonna go look through those threads now, but I doubt it.</p>

<p>I thought it was ok. My prompt was about tradition, it was the easiest essay I’ve written so far.</p>

<p>Math was easier than normal, which is a bad thing curve-wise.</p>

5

<p>let us know once you find out johnny</p>

6

<p>For those of y’all who took it, what experimental sections did you have?</p>

<p>I had 4 CR sections. Did any of y’all have that section about manga and anime? Ugh.</p>

<p>Also, I thought the math was extremely easy compared to any other blue book test or anything. I don’t think I did very well in it, but I was able to answer more questions than ever before. Wouldn’t be surprised if the curve was harsh.</p>

7

<p>Are the Sunday tests different? If not, it would seem to be a big advantage to take it Sunday…</p>

8

<p>Hey Johnny - all Sunday test-takers take the same exam. Yes, I had the reading about anime and manga. But I disagree; I actually think the math was more challenging than the January exam.</p>

9

<p>I didn’t take the January exam.</p>

<p>Keep in mind I am an average 650 scorer in math, and that I’m only expecting 700+ in CR and W. To me, all the math seemed very doable. Of course, there were a couple problems I never even got to, but that’s because I chose to go over the problems I had done and make sure I got those points rather than wasting my time away with possible points. I know I’m not a 700er in Math. </p>

<p>So, to sum it up, the math seemed easier than usual.</p>

<p>P.S. what’d you get for this problem? </p>

<p>The slope of a line is 3 and the y intercept is 10. What is the value of a if the equation is represented as such:</p>

<p>y = b/a (x) + b</p>

<p>I know this means y = 3(x) + 10, but I had no clue how to get the value of a. I figured if b/a = 3, then a had to be 1. Did you get that?</p>

10

<p>I took it today. Didn’t take the January exam, but the math was slightly harder than in the blue book. The essay prompt (tradition) was interesting, but I didn’t get as far as I’d like… was easier than I expected. I did have the reading on manga (ugggh lol), and yes I had 4 CR sections. I think I did good on it, don’t want to have to do it again.</p>

<p>@golfer the sunday test is different than the saturday one.</p>

11

<p>What do you predict for the math curve?</p>

12

<p>Am I the only one who thought the math easier? Math isn’t even my strong point…</p>

<p>Also, there was a question where they told you a circle inside a triangle is tangent to the triangle, and the area is 9pi, etc. etc. Did you get 6 for that?</p>

13

<p>If that was a grid-in, yeah. I did get 6 for that</p>

14

<p>Nope, it wasn’t a grid in.</p>

<p>P.S. look at my previous post, what’d you get on that question</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>Yep!!!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I didn’t answer that one. the answer of 1 didn’t seem right to me, and my math shortcuts failed me at that time… so i left it blank. (sad, i know; i’m such a failure)</p>

16

<p>I mean, it was the second to last question, so it was obviously difficult. But there’s no penalty so I figured 1 is better than a blank answer.</p>

<p>Would anyone like to solve that?</p>

17

<p>so was it the same as the saturday test or not?</p>

18

<p>Looks like it was different; I don’t recognize any of these questions.</p>

19

<p>y = mx + b is the standard form of a line with m being the slope and b being the y-intercept. So you do 10/a = 3 because you must have 3 in front of the x.</p>

<p>Interesting, it seems the January 2012 SAT International exam was reused as the March 2012 SAT Sunday exam.</p>
