<p>As the title says, whats the point for having exerimental sections? Honestly im baffled.</p>
<p>Haha anyone know?</p>
<p>I know, right? It’s a waste of my friggin’ time. I hate sitting there until 1:00. They should go and EXPERIMENT on some other freaking people.</p>
<p>I don’t know. Ive asked CC and I got answers that did not make sense.</p>
<p>The official explanation: They are there in order to try out new types of questions and to ensure that all groups are tested fairly on the test.</p>
<p>That doesn’t make sense, though. :)</p>
<p>For future students. The SAT people use you as lab rats =]
If you have four critical reading section, you are lucky. IT’s not hard to figure out which one is the experimental if you have an extra CR, cuz there are patterns.</p>
<p>thats how they make the curve for the SAT. depending on how we do on the experimental lol. so they waste 25 minutes of our life. as if the 45 bucks per test we pay isn’t enough</p>
<p>^I thought the curves were determined before people even take the test? maybe not. It would be sooo nice if they were based off of how everyone did on the experimentals, though :)</p>
<p>The curve is to compensate for difficulty variation across test dates. It makes no sense that the experimental sections would affect the curve. Moreover, curves are predetermined.</p>
