January 2011 SAT

<p>Let's make this the going thread for the upcoming January 2011 SAT. </p>

<p>Direct Hits seems to be the best vocab solution for now, but does anyone have any predicted vocab lists for Saturday's test? Essay predictions? Other misc. tips?</p>

<p>After the test, we can use this thread to discuss how people felt about it. </p>

<p>Good luck test-takers!</p>

2

<p>If you know Direct Hits and basic vocab, then you should miss at most one SC problem. </p>

<p>Hopefully, CR is -2=800(or-3=800, though this is very unlikely)</p>

<p>Math is -0=800, so be very careful of stupid mistakes when taking the math portion</p>

<p>For Writing, follow the How to write a 12 essay in 10 days. If you get an 11 or 12, -1 should be 800 Writing</p>

<p>To anyone feeling adventurous:
DRESS FOR SUCCESS</p>

<p>I’ll probably use this website to gauge how well I did and whether or not I should send score reports…</p>

4

<p>i should have researched more examples for my essay but was too lazy lol
i just hope for a double digit. and i hope to do well on cr.</p>

5

<p>Answer to the first multiple choice question is B.</p>

6

<p>@AvidStudent: Watch that be right, lol.</p>

<p>@Krazy: Don’t stress too much over the examples. Just review some of the themes of some of the books you read in HS and maybe look up some famous people in history/modern-day that have overcome adversity and/or shown nonconformity. Hopefully the essay topic won’t be too “irregular” as far as typical SAT essay topics go. </p>

<p>@littlepenguin: Yes! Let’s use this thread after the test to see how we all did/felt about the test. Discussion is always good.</p>

7

<p>I am taking to Spanish SAT II. I better get an 800 (native speaker).</p>

8

<p>Well? How did you guys think it went?</p>

9

<p>It was alright. I thought math was harder than usual, but not impossible. I had extra CR [was the experimental one with the date of birth of the baseball player?]</p>

10

<p>no, the baseball one was a regular section, not an experimental.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, that one wasn’t experimental 'cause I had an extra math and I had the baseball one. </p>

<p>Agree - there were some unusually tricky math questions that required a bit more thought.</p>

12

<p>Well I guess this thread is useless now. :slight_smile: </p>
