January 2013 SAT Writing Experimental Section

<p>The experimental was sec 7 the one with beach comer. Iam 100% sure</p>

<p>In writing i got the “octopus” only so i guess second was experimental, i had reading experimental and second must have been experimental i think crusty with crust thingies i guess :P</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that section 7 was an experimental section. The 3rd section’s paragraph improvement section had octopus, and that’s what everyone got in my testing center.</p>

<p>My writing sections were 5 and 7. Both were the long 35 Q sections. Section 5 was weird and hard. Section 7 was a walk through the park. I’m hoping section 5 was the experimental. Did anyone else have these same sections or feel the same way?</p>

<p>Mine were 4 and 5. 4 had a few tough ones, 5 didn’t seem to have any that stumped me. So yeah, hopefully the first one was the experimental.</p>

<p>Guys I believe there is a significant question error in one of the SAT writing sections (can’t remember if it was experimental or not), in which it is assumed we are using American English. I have emailed the collegeboard about this and suggest anyone who knows what I’m talking about to do likewise.</p>

<p>Yup, math was easy. I ound the CR passage about the court cameras to be sort of hard :stuck_out_tongue: the grammar error IDs were also pretty hard this time</p>

<p>I had 2 35 multiple choice writing sections for sections 4 and 5. 4 was much harder than 5; I felt like some of the questions were weird and got more no errors than usual. I forget which one had which questions because they were so close to each other, but can anyone determine whether it was 4 or 5 that was the experimental one?</p>

<p>I got a writing experimental section too and I did have improving paragraphs on octopi …My test was the European one (zone)</p>

<p>Was this on section 10? I felt like one of the questions had a conjugation or at least tense error that wasn’t at all underlined…</p>

<p>I really don’t recall… I do remember seeing odd phrasing but it was grammatically correct… or at least so I thought…</p>

<p>I have a strong feeling that you guys out there who are saying the question had an error in it (from section 10) are talking about the television one that had the word “broadcast” in it. Just so everyone knows, broadcast is in the perfect tense (and present tense too, but in context it’s past tense), so the question doesn’t have a mistake. The answer wasn’t “will ____” (can’t remember the second word), it was the choice in the past (perfect) tense.</p>

<p>I got that too, although I can’t remember if it was section 5 and 7. It was something like that though, with two 35 question writing sections. I can’t remember the other one but one of the improving passages was about a college roommate thing. Did you get that?</p>

<p>does anyone have the answers to the english portions?</p>
