****JANUARY 2015 SAT THREAD (INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS).****

@asiankid88 No, I had a cr as experimental

Well, so just to double check, the last two questions before the grid ins guys… 7 was h +100 (not h + 101, right?) and 8 was 60 (8 was the one we had to find the y value at the intercept of the two lines)

@oz4nss No, it was improving sentences I believe. The full sentence was something like that: The war for independence finally over, the National Congress of 1794 focused on building a new nation.

@nummerelf Yes, the answer was h+100 and the other one was 60.

@Starior , I think I remember it. In the true sentence there was a “now” before “the National Congress” AFAIR, but I’m not sure that much… I had had double writing sections, since my experimental was the second writing section and I feel dizzy because of this.

Guys, are you sure about “h+100” ? I don’t remember the question exactly but I did something and I found 2n+1, well, I don’t even remember how I did this but… Anyway, are you one hundred percent sure about this one?

I feel that the experimental section was different between different sections of the test. Section 2 was definitely the dummy for those who had another CR section (the one with some art critiquing passage), but I heard section 5 was the dummy section for those who had another writing section.

@Pinguman123‌ Dummy section for writing was section 2

Dangit and it was so much easier than section 5.

@americandream69 I’m sure it was 11<12

@Starior it was 6! Dammit yeah!

@ARelaxingEnd‌ YEAH! I remember the delete if from passage. YES! I also got lots of E’s in Error Identification and A’s in Improving Sentences (more than in the prep tests)

@nummerelf 7 you’re right… 8 I didn’t answer

@Pinguman123‌ @qkrgkfla‌ Dummy section was 5, my sister had CR as her dummy section and I had Writting and she remembers the essay about going to college but not the one about egypt’s pyramids!

@AmericanDream69 - “the patter of rain” can definitely lull someone to sleep (in fact, it’s a common notion that the steady sound of rain is soporific). To “lull to sleep” is not an exclusively human ability. I’m afraid you missed that one.

@Starior‌ i think I got A for the American independence question, because it made more sense that all the other ones

“…the deft assurance with which those meaty hands captured a flowers frail beauty.” Isn’t this supposed to be a kind of personification? Hands surely can’t capture the beauty of flowers…

@Aegon6‌

Definitely not.

@Aegon6‌ “meaty” contrasts with “frail”

Does anybody remember the SC which had one option as languorous? Can you post the question along with the options?

I must’ve chosen 11<x<12 then, hopefully.

Or I could’ve messed up real bad. My handwriting is a bit stupid so, it would’ve been root 136, which I might have read as root 156 and chosen 12<x<13.

@ARelaxingEnd‌ I’m 100% with you. 3 no errors

Can anyone start with the curves?

What is -1 w/11 in W, -4 in CR and -2 in M?

Does anyone remember the first couple of Writing questions? I got two sections of 35 questions and am still not sure which one was the experimental. I remember the pyramid and college/ board games improving passages but can’t recall if they were Section 2 or 5!

So if someone could just write all the Improve Sentences or Find the Error questions they remember, that’d be really appreciated.

Did no one else get a total of 3 Writing Sections in stead of the regular 2? If you did, do you have any idea which one was the experimental? Section 2 or Section 5?

@asiankid88 Probably you are right but I thought since there was not a linker or something and there was a comma not a semicolon, the sentence was a comma splice. There were 2 answers with a linker; first one was with "Now the war … is over … "Since it was in the past I thought using present was not correct and the other one was with “Once the war has finally been over,…” It seemed to me this was wrong too because of present perfect but the second one was the most logical answer to prevent a comma splice. Therefore I chose that answer. If you are sure about your answer, do you know why that answer is not a comma splice?

@Vedant12‌ supposedly section 5 was the dummy.
