<p>How do you know which section was experimental and which was not?</p>
<p>Writing: if you had 2 35 question sections, one was experimental
Math: 4 sections
Reading: 4 Sections</p>
<p>Known experimental sections:
Writing: passage about political polls
Reading: Four different ones-- Fluoride in water, Venice, Creativity, Musicians</p>
<p>I had 4 math sections, thus one was experimental?</p>
<p>Only some people have a certain experimental, while others don’t. For example, my experimental was a math section, either section 2 or section 3.</p>
<p>Yep-- you can narrow it down further by time. If you had 3 25 minute math sections, one of those was experimental, and the same goes if you had 2 20 minute sections.</p>
<p>Ah, cool. Thanks for the explanations. Glad mine was for math and not reading or writing as I score constantly over 700 with reading/writing but under 650 all the time in math.</p>
<p>I cannot figure out if I had math! I think I had math exp but no one seems to be able to figure out which section it was.</p>
<p>guys im kinda new to the site, just wondering what are experimentals and if I got one in math because I had three 25 minutes and one 20 minute, does it give me a advantage?</p>
<p>I had a critical reading experimental :(</p>

One of the sections on the SAT is a “dummy” section used for various reasons. </p>
<p>Everyone gets an experimental section, be it in reading, writing, or math, and it is not an advantage or a disadvantage-- it just doesn’t count. </p>
<p>There are 3 math, 3 reading, and 2 writing sections that get counted. If you only had 4 math sections, one of the 25 minute ones was not counted.</p>

<p>ah ok thanks</p>
<p>Did anyone else have one on Disney World? XD</p>
