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

did anyone take the dec sats? i feel like this one was harder than last time’s

im really worried about the essay cause I only wrote 1 and 3/4 pages and i said aristotle came up with the earth-centered theory, not copernicus :/.

@JuicyMango oh lol im taking it in february(mad since i felt prepared). December i got 690 in CR because i ran out of time. Since you think you aced CR, i was wondering what your passage strategy is? thanks

@anika839 I took december. CR was definetly harder this time around, Writing was easier, and CR was easier/same

@JuicyMango that shouldn’t be a problem, really. the readers honestly don’t check for accuracy, they are just checking to see if you are able to back up your claim and make sure it relates to the question! i made up a book title before and i got an 11 last time

What is a bad curve in writing for like -4 or -5

Your correctness does not matter

well then i hope i get at least a 9…but im feeling pretty sure i wrote 8 essay quality…

Hey guys I think that the curve might be easier this time bc a lot of people had their tests canceled in big cities and also a lot of 7th graders were taking the exam today

@baryonic idk, all I know is that that seemed like the most plausible. I cant exactly remember the question and answer.

^what question are you referring to?

i cant believe this is the last version of this SAT :o

Hey juicymango do you know in the grammar would it be “awarded in” or “awarded for”

@JuicyMango haha yeah i know it’s crazy!! glad this is my last time taking the SAT tho, my dec scores were ok but i don’t think i can handle taking another one again

@mayankko i believe “awarded for”

Cool that’s what I put

My essay was god awful, I’m honestly shooting for an 8 right now if even that, such a bummer. Does anyone have any predictions for the math/reading curve?

@collegeprepcac i think math will have a medium curve, and reading will have a good curve. for me, reading was harder than it was before

Damn it was incoherent or untenable? I am pretty sure it was incoherent because it wasn’t logical since the bears were said to be “herbivores” LOL am I the only one who said steell should be discarded for timber or something?

@juicymango I wrote the same!!!
