***June 2014 SAT (US ONLY)***

<p>@mizejonathan17‌ what does the Q+A service give you? all the questions on the sat and their respective answers? and what is the thing you pay an extra $13 dollars for? i did that all three times but never got anything in the mail…</p>

<p>How did you get the Q&A service? :o @mizejonathan17‌ </p>

<p>I’ve been creeping on the ACT thread. The test looks like it’s changing D: god dammit I should probably just stick to the SAT then. That may mean I may not get to apply early :frowning: goodbye selective schools</p>

<p>i just found a PDF file with an actual SAT that was used before. <a href=“http://file.xdf.cn/soft/120510/146_1113044362.pdf”>http://file.xdf.cn/soft/120510/146_1113044362.pdf&lt;/a&gt; </p>

<p>section 3 vocab is completely ridiculous. never seen that hard of vocab even though i now know some of those words</p>

<p>@Jellybae I just selected that option when I registered. I think it was about 6 or 7 extra dollars.</p>

<p>@sat2014 Wow, yeah, I guess it was $13… You should have received your test and a score report with the respective answers/grid ins in the in the mail about 2-3 months after the test date. </p>

<p>Do you guys think If I strongly established my stance on the topic, provided 2 examples (not the best examples), had correct mechanics and wrote 1 2/3 pages, I would get an 8 on the essay? Im asking this because I know some people who are pretty strong arguers but they got a 6 on the essay, granted 1 said he only wrote a page and had to stop in the middle of a paragraph.</p>

<p>Yeah, I would say so. The essay I wrote in January was barely 1 1/4 pages and only had two (fairly weak too) examples; I got a 7 on that one. I’d say at the very least 6-7, but I bet you have a high chance of getting an 8-9.</p>

<p>@mizejonathan17‌ so far I haven’t gotten anything :frowning: </p>

<p>@LOLBeast1‌ as long as you provide good details about your examples you should get an 8 at least. The essay i find to be the easiest because i consistently get nothing lower than an 8 or 9. I typically write until I write out of space but I think ahead when I start running out of room</p>

<p>@sat2014 That’s odd; it must have gotten lost in the mail or something.</p>

<p>I was thinking and I was like theres no way my essay would get a 3, but theres no way it would get a 5. So I’m hoping for an 8.</p>

<p>what have you guys done to prepare for the SAT? i did the blue book and a kaplan book with 12 practice SATS</p>

<p>I worked through BB practice tests and used online resources like sparknotes, Testive, number 2 and (kind of) PwntheSAT. I also borrowed 2400 in just 7 steps from a friend. I really wanted to buy the books off of PwntheSATs recommended list but they were so expensive :(</p>

<p>looking back, i don’t think i did that well on the reading passage questions :frowning: the one about the best term to describe slip i put elude, it should of been pass and the question about the ethopian guys hubris i put sight. i still don’t know what’s the right answer if he was in awe or if he was confused</p>

<p>Aha! I found the dark matter article. It’s called “In Search of Dark Matter” by Ken Freeman. It’s the prologue. <em>applause</em></p>

<p>After reading thoroughly through the article, I think the “brings up more questions” choice is correct. The passage says nothing about intuition vs. empirical evidence :(</p>

<p>Was the answer choice “intuition” DIRECTLY SUPPORTED by the dark matter passage?</p>

<p>If it isn’t, it is most likely incorrect.</p>

<p>I’m just glad there were no damn psychology questions, like “How did this author feel about this”? It’s almost impossible to find direct proof for such inquiries.</p>
