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

As a reminder, all individuals who take the SAT are not allowed to share test questions or answers at any time. Never give questions or answers to anyone or discuss them by any means (including but not limited to via email, text messages, posting questions and answers via social media sites, exchanges via the Internet, or any other form of communication). There is never any point in time at which you are allowed to discuss exam content unless it is released as part of a College Board service (such as the Question-and-Answer Service).

Therefore, individuals who have taken the SAT are prohibited from discussing the content of the test, including discussions in online forums such as this one. Such communications are considered by the College Board and ETS to be test misconduct.

When the College Board or ETS learns of test misconduct relating to the SAT, a test taker’s scores are subject to cancellation. Misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
• taking any test questions or essay topics from the testing room, including through memorization, giving them to anyone else, or discussing them with anyone else through any means, including, but not limited to, email, text messages or the Internet
• obtaining improper access to the test, a part of the test or information about the test or to the test center

As such, examples of prohibited and allowable content on this forum include:

  2. Sharing or discussing any reading passages. This includes discussion of and/or summary of the text of the passage, with or without discussion of the questions that accompany the passage.
  3. Sharing or discussing the essay topic/passage.
  4. Posting links or otherwise directing people to other websites to talk about specific test content, including Google Docs and other online forums.

Allowable Content

  1. Comments related to preparation.
  2. Comments on how well the student thinks s/he did.
  3. Comments on the difficulty of the exam.

Finally finished the sats!!! Wooooo!! I think math and reading were A- OK. But writing was difficult idk why. Those questions about if the author should delete/add a sentence ALWAYS gets me

easy bro easy

The math section seemed a lot easier this time compared to March.

i thought math was pretty easy… writing was ok/easy, but reading was kinda difficult

Reading was pure EVIL.
@CrimsonZa Same!

math was easy but there were a few tricky ones on reading

Reading was boring and 1 passage I won’t name was particularly difficult and broad.

there seems to at least 3 versions of reading… i got the one that has benjamin franklin on it, anyone

Anyone recognize that unpaid internship grammar passage? I feel like I saw it before…on the March 2016 SAT maybe

@ys1213 I got that one!

First time taking new SAT! I took the old SAT twice and the PSAT last October.

Reading - not the absolute worst, but there were a few tricky ones that I felt ambiguous about. The last passage, however, was ridiculously easy. I had the one with Benjamin Franklin.
Writing - there were maybe two or three that I was uncertain about, but overall this section was pretty all right. Writing’s always my strongest with least errors (got a 35 on ACT writing)
Math No Calculator - didn’t finish 3 of the fill in the blank ones, but otherwise I thought it was okay
Math Calculator - I didn’t finish 2, but I otherwise thought this section wasn’t too bad. I don’t know what to predict though because math’s not my strong suit.
Essay - Honestly, considering the prompt is formatted almost exactly like an AP Lang pick apart essay, I just wrote it like that. I’m sure I did REALLY well.

Hoping for a 1400+, but who knows with the weird grading and conversions. It feels like even the “higher” scores aren’t “that” good anymore

Reading was not bad. A couple were a little tricky though.
Writing was overall easy.
Math with Calculator was quite nice, but I found Non-Calculator quite difficult.
Writing was a good topic, but I feel like my score could go either way.

Reading (i had benjamin) ok not too bad (30 on act)
Writing i feel very confident. maybe 1 or 2 wrong since its the sat lol (got 35 on act)
math no calc breezy ezzzzy (Got 36 on act math felt right at home with this section)
math with calc was a bit confusing(I am talking about you mt everest!!!)
gl the wait to july starts :frowning: hopefully i dont have to cry when my AP and SAT scores come out

@tootiredtowink same with the Mt. Everest ones!! I swear I understood what the questions were asking but the answers weren’t there. Though math isn’t my best, I still think there was something weird about those questions.

Reading: I feel like I got 2-6 wrong (last time 4 wrong) mainly because of the 1 feminism passage as some of the questions seemed rather broad.
Writing: I felt pretty confident here, probably 1-4 wrong (last time 4). Only 1 question was particularly confusing
Math: probably 1-4 wrong (last time 7), the math section was far easier than in the March SAT and even with a couple I was confused about, I was able to figure them out for the most part.
Essay: Bsd it. Probably got around a 15 again.

The reading was plain boring
SAT Critical Reading was way better

There was one math question with a grammatical error; they wrote “less” when they should have used “fewer”.

@thefloridavegan yea! i kept getting answers that werent an option

Reading - I felt pretty good about this! There were only two questions that tripped me up (that’s you, ben franky and whatever distinction you were trying to make) The passage about the plants was exceedingly boring, the collegeboard should really recruit me as a writer.
Writing - This section was fun! I like reading about the musical instruments :slight_smile: #orchestrageek
Math No Calculator - I think I got all of these (all credit goes to the lovely math teacher I’ve had for the past 2 years)
Math Calculator - Usually I’m really good at this, but the Mt. Everest ones got me. Do any of you know the name of the topic (such as interpreting linear functions or whatever) this was on so I could work on it? The statistics questions were cool, but I hate probability. Also, I had Troye Sivan stuck in my head during the entirety of this section and I couldn’t figure out the miles vs 2.4 vs 5280 vs my brain
Essay - It was a really straightforward, understandable prompt that anyone from any social status could understand. I wrote about parallel structure and the use of statistical details, but I like analyzing more abstract things.
