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

Btw do you guys think I should petition the timber question? The deadline for petitioning is closing, so I need an answer ASAP please.

nahh. let it be. It won’t change a thing as the test has been already validated by previous scoring and CB unlikely to change anything …

@JuicyMango I say why not. I dont want to have to take anymore standardized tests anymore either. I will be “happy” with a 2280

@smileydinosaur Is that what you’re predicting? That’s a great score, even if you don’t think so…its still in the 99th percentile so you’re good to go.

My mother thinks that anything below a 2350 is abysmal and I will only get into our local community college if that is the case with my January score so…

Sigh. And what did your mother get on her SAT’s? :))

@garyasho2 ikr my parents as well. but the sad thing is my dad was a super stellar student and test taker :frowning:

@JuicyMango I mean im not denying its good, its just that I studied so hard :frowning: its just a prediction, itll probably be muh lower :((

Does anyone happen to remember the exact question from improving sentences that involved a woman traveling?

Your mother sounds like a very sensible woman. And you sound even more sensible for letting such sensible advice get to your head.

I believe the answer for women traveling was B.

That really bothers me…if I get a 2350+ I will personally call up your mother and tell her that even though I got that score, I’m no better than someone who got a 2300, 2200, or even say a 1700. It’s just a test in the end…

So was it 4 no error’s or 3? And can you list them?

@JuicyMango i got 4. they were 17, 20, 23, and one other if i recall correctly.

@JuicyMango I got 4 NEs and and 800 in December in Writing.

@thenonchosenone @joeweller Alright, thanks you guys. A lot of google docs/people were saying 3 no errors, but I guess we’re right in saying there were 4. :slight_smile:

I got 4 no errors as well.
What are the google doc kids smoking?

Definitely got 4. The writing sections on this test were not bad at all. I was expecting them to be worse.

@TheCanadianKid Same. I think I’ll finally get an 800 in writing, so long as the graders don’t hate my essay.

can someone who gave the US sat in december tell me what the curve was? like the points for first 5 or ten point losses and points for a 10 essay upto 4 losses

I got a 10 essay and -4 (MC) for writing and got a 710 :frowning:
