@TheCanadianKid @thetex since you are both typical 800m scorers, have you ever missed a question and still gotten an 800? If I miss one, what do you think that will end up being?
@Hickey Same here, couldn’t write a conclusion for my essay either. I still provided solid evidence and examples, but I’m in the same boat as you.
As for the Math, glad I’m not the only one who thinks there were some weird questions in those Math sections.
@Polodude Yes, I’ve missed 2, but skipped none and still gotten an 800 before.
I’m pretty sure you can still get an 800 by missing only one. 
what did you get for the grid with the arrows, asking about the shortest path?
I put 18E
Yeah I got 18 as well
@thetex , I got the same.
The question I had trouble with took me like 6 minutes; I totally panicked because I was confident on my practice tests and I didn’t realize it would take so long. I don’t think I managed to fully check my answers for that section, unfortunately, so I might have had a casual mistake elsewhere in that section.
Looking back at it, though, I can’t figure out how to solve it without resorting to falsification, but when I got home I found an elegant algorithm that I would have loved to share if I weren’t bound by my confidentiality agreement.
Do you all remember a vocab question with circumspect? Also, in Fixing Sentences, did you say she was well-received with cheers or that she like wrote a book or something that outperformed Verne’s?
What did you all put for the question where the line was translated 6 units to the right?
What did you get for the legs of the triangle where the hypotenuse was greater than √2/10 and less than √2/5?
- The answer was 3. Both lines had slops of 0.5. Translate 6 units in x direction means 3 unit change on the y-intercept. After the translation the lines would be the same. So change in y-intercept is equal to difference in y-intercept. Answer is 3. At least thats what I got.
- There was a range of answers for that one: 1/10<x<2/10. I put down 3/20 or 0.15. Just set up the 45 45 90 triangle and work out the ratios.
@Mikeyman7 The answer to the translation problem was 3. For the triangle question, legs can be anything from
1/5 to 1/10; it is a 45 45 90 triangle, so legs are x, and hypotenuse is x rt 2. So we have 1/5 * rt 2 to 1/10 * rt 2 as the hypotenuse range, and therefore 1/5 to 1/10 as leg range.
@joeweller Circumspect was the correct answer for that vocab question. For improving sentences, the correct answer was “her actions were more impressive than those of Verne’s characters” or something like that. “Well-received with cheers” was also what I got.
Random question about the essay, but do the graders read everything that’s within the boxes? I ended not having enough room on the second page and ended up kind of snaking my conclusion paragraph along the sides… Was that a bad idea…?
@pillowspillows … are you serious?
well, thats just great for those who already took it
@Well, they prob just wont be able to read it.
THAT link is a link to the people who took the exact same test with all the answers. I never realized they reused whole tests.
They recycled both the US and International SAT…
Anyone happen to know what the curves were for that test? B-)
@Mikeyman7 , I think the answer was 18. You just figure out that the squares take up 270 degrees and then you set up a system of equations to figure out what the last 90 degrees is made up of.
Really CB… Why?.. What happened to “Test Security and Fairness”
@Hickey I think y was 18, but didn’t it ask for x?
