June 4 2011 SAT Reasoning Post-Test Discussion

<p>I put heartfelt. Because it was talking about how parents have genuine concerns.</p>

<p>I put heartfelt too, because natural would be for more of a parental concern, and the paragraph just discussed concerned people in general.</p>

<p>Oops, I mixed up the answers.</p>

<p>Did genuine mean heartfelt or naturally?</p>

<p>@ kwcty6888 i put heartfelt</p>

<p>Heartfelt was a better choice I thought.</p>

<p>How does everyone feel about the math?
I really struggled… I made careless errors because I didn’t read everything well enough and I was rushing.</p>

<p>Heartfelt means sincere and concerned, which is what the author kept on saying they were.</p>

<p>Did anyone get the answer of the tent as 25 (i think) and the distance of the 3 houses question? </p>

<p>Also did anyone have experimental gridin? And do you remember some questions on the experimental?</p>

<p>Math had a few tricky ones, but was overall easier than March. We definitely had an experimental math section, but ours wasn’t the grid-in unfortunately, because that’s where I missed a couple.</p>

<p>Has anyone taken the May SAT as well?
Was it just me, or was the June SAT harder?</p>

<p>I felt the writing sections were VERY VERY easy…
the essay with multiple choice questions was kind of annoying, i think i got a few wrong.</p>

<p>I felt the math was very easy on some of it, and very hard on the other half. I didn’t feel like there was much of a medium level to it.</p>

<p>I felt the CR was easy for two of them, and hard for one. I felt the two passages, one about bees and mutual relationships between plants and insects, and the one about gossip- oral vs. written gossip, were hard. I felt the question were poorly written, and they were hard to figure the answers with the little time they gave. I thought the other CRs were easy, the vocab was a bit challenging, usually 1-4 are easy, and I didn’t feel that, but i’m hopping the easy CR passages will even the rest of the hard parts out.</p>

<p>I had an experimental CR section, not sure which one.</p>

<p>The essay was a good general topic. Unfortunately, I took too long planning my ideas, trying not to be too controversial so no subjectiveness goes into my grading. My three points were:

  1. Animal Farm by George Orwell
  2. A business setting
  3. The internet
    My biggest two concerns on it are I forgot to do a thesis statement so I squeezed in a short one, something like, “With achievement comes responsibility.” and I rushed at the end, and i’m worrying my conclusion is a big wordy and sloppy, I hope they can read it…</p>

<p>College Board really needs to give us 30 minutes for the essay… my entire arm was dead after…</p>

<p>Does anyone have a guesstimate on what -3 on the math section would be? Based on past experience</p>

<p>Test results will be online June 23rd, Seimron</p>

<p>@Lilshow</p>

<p>Perhaps a 720</p>

<p>Did anyone else feel like the writing section was really easy? Were there any tricky questions that I may have overlooked?</p>

<p>Did anyone else get 2 no errors?</p>

<p>What do you guys think a -3 on CR will be? I thought it was much harder than the March CR, and -3 on that one was a 740…</p>

<p>ok so my sections were W R W M [R] R M R M W i think the section 5 reading was experimental for me </p>

<p>my friends was W R W M [M] R M R M W and i think for her section 5 math was experimental</p>

<p>because i didnt have that math section and she didnt have the reading section that i did</p>

<p>@biteme192</p>

<p>What reading section did you have that she didn’t have?</p>

<p>Someone please explain to me how you solved the landleases in April math question? I think i rushed through it. I ended with 20% and I’m positive that wasn’t the answer :(</p>
