Lets try to figure out experimental sections for June 2014 SAT?

<p>Alright, we know everyone's stressing about this. I know I am. So lets pool our data and try to see if we can figure out which sections were the experimental ones. Try to keep details of problems out. Don't want College Board getting all angry at us :D
The idea is everyone posts which section of their test they think was experimental (with a simple description). I'll post the most commonly brought up ones in this thread. I'll start</p>

<p>Possibly Experimental:
Math section (Hockey, speed of sound equation, stop sign question)</p>

2

<p>Possible experiments
CR:
Thoreau (Section unknown) or the solar panels(Section Unknown)</p>

<p>Writing:
None that I know about for sure</p>

<p>Math:
Hockey, speed of sound, stop sign (Section Unknown) or Parabola, Petition A/B, square with multiple triangles as last problem (Section 5)</p>

3

<p>Hockey, speed of sound one was section 3 believe.
CR:
Root worms
Duck+Rabbit illusions</p>

4

<p>CR: Passage about a girl with her uncle and aunt and trying to prove herself worthy in front of this girl she hates or something.</p>

5

<p>I had the thoreau section. I was falling asleep during it and it was the only section of the whole entire test I didn’t feel like I got completely correct (except for the painter vocab one). I would be so happy if it was experimental. </p>

6

<p>@SKTT1Impact I’m seeing the Thoreau section mentioned in a lot of places. Seems likely that was one of the CR experimental sections</p>

7

<p>Did anyone else get an experimental writing section? The one with the weird looking black circles after the lines. It was like the “editing an essay” thing which usually comes at the end of the 25 minute SAT writing section, except it was the WHOLE passage and had 18 questions. The questions were stupidy simplistic. I finished in about 7-8 minutes, then started doodling on the test booklet.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure there were at least 3 experimental sections floating around. The girl next to me was using a calculator and I thought the myself, “****, am I on the wrong section?”, then I came to the conclusion that it was the experimental section and that everyone had a different section</p>

8

<p>@redisthenewblack That does sound kind of experimental. Lucky you :smiley: As far as total number of experimental sections goes, there are definitely more than three. From what I’ve counted, there is at least a half dozen if not more</p>

9

<p>@redisthenewblack‌ yup that’s an experimental</p>

<p>Writing Experimental: Long Passage editing about the Carrington (sp?) Event</p>

10

<p>One of the Google Docs is saying that the one with the three tangent circles was an experimental math section. Anyone confirm this?</p>

11

<p>@eggyolk Was yours section 7?</p>

12

<p>@redisthenewblack‌ the order of sections is different from one test book to the other.</p>

13

<p>Did anyone else have 2 grid in sections? I completely bombed one.</p>

14

<p>@rg33gr Yeah, I’ve talked to a few people who have. One of them is experimental for certain</p>

15

<p>I did not get the math experimental ones listed. I did, however, have a math experimental. I think they have 3 experimental’s for each section this time. </p>

16

<p>Anyone know if the math section where the last question was the graph was two parallel lines and one was shifted 6 units was experimental? I had 4 math sections, and two 20-question math sections, so one was definitely experimental.</p>

17

<p>I know for pretty much a fact that my experimental was a CR section formulated much like the ACT science section?</p>

18

<p>did anyone get CR where it had a graph and looked reaally different than the other CR sections? I especially bombed that one and Im freaking out…</p>

19

<p>I am 100 percent sure the experimental writing section was the one that looked like the act English section and talked about instant noodles. </p>

20

<p>@sleepdeprived4 That one wasn’t experimental. I had it too and my experimental was writing.</p>
