@Mikeyman7 It might have also been 36. I cant remember what it asked for. X or y. I’m just hoping I put down the right answer.
Incomprehensible. Are they going to end up canceling the SAT, or was that the same experimental section used twice, because after all they’re discontinuing this format?
Wow. Is that really true? I can see a lot of outrage if CB really did repeat a test for the US…
Does anyone here have QAS or a similar service for the June 2014 administration? I swear that this has got to be the experimental section; on my test there were two long multiple-choice math sections instead of one.
your counterexample does work though, (0.5+0.1)^2=0.36 which is greater than (-0.1+0.2)^2 which is .01
Guys for the math experimental, it was the section with 20q and had a question like which number is less than 3 and the last question about something to do with vertex form right? Cuz i tanked like 4 questions in that section
They indeed did recycle it from June 2014. Proof: https://www.powerscore.com/sat/help/content_vocabulary_report.cfm
On the math section for the question before the length of the fish one about the nth term, what did you guys get for that one, does anyone remember?
it was 1
Anyone remember which situation would be similar for the dark matter passage? It was archaeological or detective?
@joeweller detective i think
Wait, did they reused the ENTIRE SAT test?? o.O
@krauser126 Yeah, the entire thing.
Bloody hell. Imagine if you had an ambitious freshman who took the test in 2014 as part of the preparation, then retook it in his or her junior year as the last administration. He or she would be taking the exact same test he did in 2014 and thus obtain an unfair advantage, both wrecking the curve and destroying the credibility of the January 2015 test. I’m shocked, though. I had thought the College Board would at least implement heterogeneous administrations, where multiple tests would be administered on the same day so that test takers in a room could comprise a mosaic of completely different content.
Check the June 2014 discussion thread on here. People there discussed questions which seem very familiar to me.
I don’t think it’s that big of a deal that they recycled the tests. I’m sure they’ve done this before. @CBlueDreams that scenario is so unlikely, how many freshmen just go and take the SAT for fun to see what it’s like? Almost no one. They take practice tests at home instead
@mayankko is right. I didn’t take the test but based on your discussions the schism question had different answer choices. Here is the question from the June 2014 test:
- The division that the issue sparked within the scientific
community was so pronounced that it nearly amounted
to ____.
(A) a hiatus (B) a chimera © an edict
(D) a schism (E) a disparity
d
I don’t feel like those answers on crack SAT are the same… I don’t remember a single one of those fill in answers for the math section.
from their discussion, it is obviously the same test… but the test paper available online, it does not match, this is mysterious…
