<p>Could anyone figure out if it was math, writing, or reading or which section specifically it was?</p>
<p>I had four math sections, so does that mean that one of them would have been experimental?</p>
<p>I think so…I unfortunately cannot even remember the amount of sections I had so I am just going by what other people say.</p>
<p>Thanks! It seems to depend on your particular version of the test - for me, it looks like I had an experimental math, but others had an experimental reading section with a graph of some kind that I didn’t have.</p>
<p>Yeah I also did not get the graph…thanks for your input</p>
<p>Why did the dude lie about his fish?</p>
<p>@jarjarbinks23</p>
<p>haha yeah I had no freaking clue for that one… that’s the only SAT math problem ever where I really didn’t understand what to do…maybe if I had more time I could have figured it out</p>
<p>I really wish the experimental one was CR. The CR passage(more or less) was about solar panels, photo voltaic cells…and the bar graphs. I haven’t seen anything of the sort in the other practice papers…I guessed on the questions about the graphs since they were asking one to make inferences about solar panels, solar voltaic panels vs other types of energy production processes like biomass, geothermal,…and the other graph had projections of energy production to something like 2017. It was BAD. threw me off because it was math shrouded with CR…as if it wasn’t hard by itself. If you intend to retake the SAT you should definitely take a look at it. It was a freaking time killer.</p>
<p>@Metron i too got the passage about solar panels. totally bombed that section so you’re not alone. i kind of died a little inside when i saw them incorporate graphs (math) into CR!!</p>
<p>@sleepdeprived4 Was your math experimental a grid in???</p>
<p>I saw the fish one and was genuinely impressed with the collegeboard on making the question up. Luckily, I had a solid 5 minutes of time left, so I sat there and stared at it long enough to get the answer. It was almost a logic puzzle you’d find on an online math geek site though, seriously.</p>
<p>The graph one was also a new thing, but it was fairly straight forward in contrast, I thought </p>
<p>Did anyone else get an experimental writing section? The one with the weird looking black circles after the lines. It was like the “editing an essay” thing which usually comes at the end of the 25 minute SAT writing section, except it was the WHOLE passage and had 18 questions. The questions were stupidy simplistic. I finished in about 7-8 minutes, then started doodling on the test booklet. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure there were at least 3 experimental sections floating around. The girl next to me was using a calculator and I thought the myself, “■■■, am I on the wrong section?”, then I came to the conclusion that it was the experimental section and that everyone had a different section.</p>
<p>does anybody, anybody know (if they know they had an experimental writing section with 35 questions as well as the normal 35 question one) which writing section was the actual experiment? was it the one with the passage about bly (1) or with the passage about the rooftop gardens? (3/4?) please help me i will love you forever ^:)^</p>
<p>@richgod2015 . I also had the Nellie Bly section but I don’t recall anything about the rooftop gardens. Probably the rooftop gardens was your experimental. My writing experimental only had 18 questions.</p>
<p>@richgod2015 I had the same! Experimental.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the section number for the experimental? 2/5/7/8</p>
<p>for math?</p>
<p>@richgod2015 I got the writing experimental section/</p>
<p>The math question with the fish could be solved with a system of equations or with logic if you had enough time to sit there and think about it. For those of you that had the writing section with the black dots that was your experimental. The SAT is trying a format very similar to the ACT, its part of the complete change in the test that’ll be seen in the next couple years.</p>
<p>My experimental was a CR section with a drawing of an illusion in the middle and the passage was about illusions in art. I had never seen a drawing in the middle of a CR passage before so I knew it had to be experimental</p>
