***January 2016 SAT (US Only) Thread***

for those with 760+ in CR, list your passage strategy please.thanks.

Yes. Please list passage strategies!!!

Damn, my test center got closed. I wanted to get it over with. :frowning:

My test got rescheduled to Feb. 20th…another miserable month of studying!

Oh wow that sucks…at least you have more time to study???

Any last minute tips for the essay section from high-scoring (11 or 12 essay) students? Anyone use the Shaan patel template? Are your conclusions only 1 or 2 sentences? Do you have 2 or 3 body paragraphs? And finally, what are some of the word substitutions and unique transitions you employ in your writing?

I got 11 on my last test

@JuicyMango Relax. Don’t push yourself too much on the essay that you miss the score you want. I’m pretty sure that you have done a lot of studying ahead of time to prepare for the essay so you know what constitutes an 11 or 12 essay. I think that you need to build confidence that you will beat the SAT essay and realize that not all essays need to be rigidly structured with a bloated amount of examples and “fancy” words to substitute what a perfect essay should be. Go with the flow, go with what you know. I believe in you, same goes for any CC member that has trouble with essays. :wink:

@juicymango what is your CR strategy for passages?

I feel you!!! Mine got cancelled too!!!

I am wondering if the make up test in Feb is the same as the one you guys are taking tomorrow?

yea i was wondering that too

I think it’ll be different otherwise the people who take the make-up test in February will have the answers.

Just like how International and U.S. tests are different. :smiley:

Yeah that’s what I thought! But it’s impossible for College Board to make a new test, maybe they will randomly choose questions from the previous unreleased tests

@sylvieve Why is it impossible?

ready to cry lol

This is my second time taking the test and I am oddly calm…lol good luck guys!

Good luck to everyone! I am about to leave my house! May the curve be in everyone’s favor :):):slight_smile:

I am leaving the house! Good Luck Everyone!!

@aabraham Making a new test costs a lot. But I’m not sure

Anyone with 800 in CR have passage strategies?
