<p>I know what was experimental. I don’t take experimentals due to my disability. The fish was a real section. </p>
<p>I had a writing one. every body has a different one. </p>
<p>took the 2006 May actual SAT as a practice test. Made a lot of mistakes on the reading passage ones but really CARELESS ones 
hate myself because I corrected the answer on almost all of my mistakes. Confidence getting much better. had couple questions on the math. Number 12 and 13 on section 4 I got wrong. I’ll post the link and if anyone could help me out with those problems I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank You <a href=“http://file.xdf.cn/soft/120510/146_1113044362.pdf”>http://file.xdf.cn/soft/120510/146_1113044362.pdf</a></p>
<p>Hey there @sat2014. I did the two problems and the first one needs to have each part of the test being 36 mins. for four parts, and three 12 minute breaks in between. four times thirty-six gives you 144 mins., and add on the three twelve minute breaks, and you should get 3 hours. </p>
<p>For # 13 all you need to do is find a number from the choices that have digits that add up to a even number, but the digit is odd. That way the statement given is false. The answer should be 2,011.</p>
<p>Work:
2+0+1+1=4, which means that the sum of the digits are even, but the number that x equals is not.</p>
<p>Hope this helps. </p>
<p>The only portion I feel good about is math, least confident reading for the SAT I took in June.</p>
<p>@dan213 I get 13 now but I still don’t understand 12 
also, if you could take a look at 15, I got that one wrong as well. thanks and the reading isn’t tough because I see my mistake right away. All about picking up the RIGHT answer immediately and understanding the context of each paragraph</p>
<p>For # 12, just think of it this way. If there are three breaks then there should be four parts of the test. The three breaks total in minutes is 36. Then change three hours into minutes, which is 180. Subtract the two, 180-36, that should be 144. Like I said before there should be four parts of the test, since there are three breaks. By dividing 144 by 4 you should get 36. Which is Choice B.</p>
<p>For # 15, this one is not to difficult. What the problem is asking is find the positive divisors that can make up the number. DO NOT include one and itself as a divisor. These divisors when multiplied together is greater than the number “prd.”</p>
<p>For example, Choice A is 8. Its divisors are 2 and 4, and by multiplying these two you get eight.</p>
<p>Choice B: 15 has divisors 5 and 3, and by multiplying these two you get 15.</p>
<p>Choice C: 18 has four divisors 2 and 9 with 3 and 6. These four numbers multiplied give you 324, which is greater than 18. Choice C is the answer.</p>
<p>The other two have divisors that multiply to the same number, so its pointless to do the other two choices. </p>
<p>For # 12 I apologize but there is not much more I can say to explain the problem. Hopefully my second attempt helped.</p>
<p>@dan213 I get it now, thanks. Shame I got those 3 medium one’s wrong and yet the last 5 i managed to get all of them right :bz thank you</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf”>http://www.erikthered.com/tutor/SAT-Released-Test-Curves.pdf</a> found some curves for previous SAT tests</p>
<p>I hope the curve for math is the January one for 2013. I think that would be somewhat of a generous curve.</p>
<p>@dan213 what do you think you got on each section? approximately? </p>
<p>I can’t say for real. I think math was either 700 or above, writing probably somewhere in the 600’s to 700’s with the essay, and reading maybe in the mid 500’s. This was my first time taking the SAT, and I felt confident on writing (except essay) and math.</p>
<p>@dan213 yeah reading is always the most challenging with the vocab and passage based questions. writing is the easiest for me. I think the curve for writing will be harsh, the one for reading and math normal although I wouldn’t be shocked if the curve is average for all of them</p>
<p>Coming out of AP Calculus, I think a 700 on math should be where I am.</p>
<p>Woah woah woah scores come out in 2 days. I’ll go make us a scores thread</p>
<p>Based on look at previous tests in May January and October, I can safely say that I do not want a math section that is considered difficult despite a lenient curve. Since most of you guys have taken the SAT more than once, what section would you least want to be considered hard. For me it’s math. Going into October, I hope every section is of medium difficulty. I felt like last exam was a medium for math and reading and an easy for writing</p>
<p>I agree with sat2014. I was just saying the stuff about AP Calculus, because it would be a shame for me if I got below a 700 on the math section. </p>
<p>I’m currently doing the May 2006 SAT exam and the math is relatively good(considered medium) while the CR is really tough, struggled on it but fixed my mistakes on passages and skipped about 4 vocab ones(fairly difficult) and the writing was ok but is considered hard. Writing is manageable and a lenient curve would go well. Reading however was tough. Math was good. Trust me when I say a hard math section is not worth getting.</p>
<p>^^AP Calculus is really not that helpful for the SATs. Nothing beyond 10th grade math is tested. After you have those basics down I think it becomes more of a reading test where the testmakers are trying to trick the students.</p>
