June 2010: International

<p>Yeah section 10 was kind of weird.
Can’t wait til the embargo is lifted.</p>

<p>The months that the Q&A service is offered ( Jan, May, Oct) the tests are the same in the US and internaltionally. June, Nov, and Dec they are different.</p>

<p>****. So we won’t find out what the experimental was?</p>

<p>don’t know that SAT in US and Interational are different. Just know that my equating section is either 3 or 6.</p>

<p>We thank our members who understand that the same rules apply to everyone. We do expect internationals to respect the embargo as well as the students who take the test later. Today, we only deleted posts, but in the future we will suspend all accounts who violate our pretty simple and liberal rules. </p>

<p>Thank you! </p>

<p>This is the discussion of the June SAT Critical Reading section</p>

<p>We know that too. Just really hope it is 3. If I find out it is 3, I will sleep the best sleep I have ever slept tonight (notice the repetition :D).</p>

<p>Ok fine so it’s 3, probably. And dammit. Are we ever going to know our answers? I get the feeling only USers are enthusiasts about getting out what they had and stuff.
Why is it different? Stupid CB.</p>

<p>So there was one paper for the whole of Asia, Europe and Africa? I’m sure there must have been at least 2 papers or something, maybe one that had math or critical reading as the experimental. Setting only one paper for a region as vast as Asia would be quite a stupid decision on Collegeboard’s part.</p>

<p>If it is a completely different paper in the US then we can start discussion on our paper can’t we? Pretty much everyone who lives in our region has finished their exam.</p>

<p>was the CR hard/easy/fair for this test?</p>

<p>Fair, I would say. The passages were alright but the vocabulary was somewhat tough in my opinion.</p>

<p>so, a normal curve you’d say? I didn’t write it but I was going to before I canceled.</p>

<p>I actually thought the opposite. I think I got all the SC’s correct (hopefully) and the passages were relatively difficult. Well, not difficult, but the practice tests I did - I thought they were easier. There was just one passage I found sort of hard - may have missed up to 3 in that one. Hope it was just 2 with 1 in the other 2 sections and no vocab. Need a 700.</p>

<p>Yup. I would anticipate a normal curve.</p>

<p>Maybe it was question 19, I do not remember. It was -2/3 because if it was 2/3 then it would be -2x+3=2x-6 which could be equated to 3=4x-6 and thus 4x=9 giving x as 9/4, meaning 9/4 would work for both systems.</p>

<p>is sec 3 or sec 6 experimental?
i hope sec 6 is experimental !! sec 3 was easier ^ ^</p>

<p>Most probably section 3 - section 6 was much easier for me.</p>

<p>I believe it was 3. I’m not sure which I did better on but last time I thought I did worse on section 6- which turned out to be the real one - and got no MC questions wrong in writing. </p>

<p>I’m not sure about this, but I think a friend of mine - with the same section order - had a math section in section 3. If that’s true, then section 3 was the experimental.</p>

<p>Well, examining all the of the past SAT tests, the writing section has appeared as either section 5 or 6. I have never seen a writing section as 4, let alone 3, meaning that it is more than likely that section 3 is the experimental. Furthermore, as someone said earlier, collegeboard did this in the May SAT as well with writing as section 3 and 6 or something which section 3 being the experimental.</p>

<p>They did. Exact same experimental and actual - section 3 and 6 with 3 experimental. I was praying for a writing experimental because it’s so easy and a chance to rest a little between CR and math sections. Lucky me.</p>
