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

same

@SandrewP compared to previous administrations, 2 math wrongs=750 is not that bad a curve.

@Hickey i think i got the fish one wrong and the abc one

On the December one it was 2 wrong equals 750

@curlypie99 it was 18

I found this one equal so I predict 2 wrong is 750

yeah i guess you’re right. I got 3 wrong in november and got a 750

I missed 4 math on my last test and got a 680 so missing 2 and getting 750 is not harsh

@curlypie99 I also put 18

What about reading? I found it hard this month

@SandrewP I got a 770 for -2 last month, but I got the international version of the SAT instead. The curve was the most lenient in years.

Can anyone tell me how the curve works?

I felt like writing was really easy. Do a lot of people feel the same? I reaaallly don’t wannt get screwed by a ridiculous writing curve haha.

hey what were everybody’s essay prompts?

Can anyone confirm three reading sections that are not experimental?

@curlypie99 , I also put 18

For those who got reading dummy, what was the experimental section?? plz help!!

The astronomy and dark matter passage has a question about which is the best statement supported by the passage. One of the answer is “science relies on both intuition and empirical data.” Is that correct?

A different question on the same passage asks something about a quote. One of the answer is that astronomer infer from incomplete data. Is that also correct?

Damn I think I did so bad on the dark matter passage. I put they don’t have a theoretical model because it didn’t really say anything about incomplete data right? Also was the question about how scientific discoveries raises both questions and answers correct?

What do people think the writing curve will be?
