<p>We are "officially" opening CC for SAT discussions. Go ahead, post your complaints, share your feelings ... but remain polite. </p>
<p>Let's start with a general discussion for the SAT subjects. Later, we'll open separate threads to compile the answers that have been discussed. </p>
<p>Thank you for your cooperation.</p>
<p>Whoops didn't see your thread started already</p>
<p>You can delete mine</p>
<p>No problem at all, Michael. We are simply trying to keep the forum as organized as possible, especially today.</p>
<p>Hope everyone did well on the New SAT.
Just a few questions I have.</p>
<p>What did you think of the New SAT with the added Writing Section?
Were the Math/Verbal Sections of the same difficulty as the Old SAT?
How accurate is the Collegeboard's New SAT book compared to the test you all took?
Math - Are there still the same tricks in questions that might be missed if you go to fast?
Verbal - Is the vocab harder now? And how are the reading passages?</p>
<p>It was easy. Too easy. The curve is going to be hell.</p>
<p>Pretty easy. Some of the Critical Reading got me screwed up.</p>
<p>Easier than practice tests out of the Princeton Review book, Barron's, etc.?</p>
<p>All sections or only some?</p>
<p>I didn't use PR to review, but my friends who did said this was a lot easier than their tests from that book.</p>
<p>Think it was only easy because it was the first test?</p>
<p>Im a senior so obviously I didn't take the test. Why was it easier compared to the old SAT and/or practice tests? More straightforward math?</p>
<p>Ok, let's figure out what the experimental section was. I had 4 Critical Reading portions:</p>
<p>1) A comparison of stories on Cloning and Genetics.
2) A fiction piece about a woman who moved to a better neighborhood.
3) A piece on rehabilitating old culture centers.
4) A comparison of stories on literary translations of past works.</p>
<p>does anyone remember this question on the last section (section 10 writing) that said something about construction workers building house of bricks?
was the answer No Error..? i can't get some of the questions off my head ahhhh!!!!</p>
<p>cramforlife: i think i either put "no error" or "any tool" which was the last one. shouldn't it say "any other tool"?</p>
<p>That was like my 4th writing section, but I put "any tool", because I thought it should have been "any other tool."</p>
<p>plus i didn't know we had to sit there for almost 5 hours!!! our proctor gave us so many breaks that it ended up being 5 hours. and i agree, the test was pretty easy in general compared to the practice tests in PR and Barrons.
But that also means the curve is going to be RIDICULOUS...</p>
<p>ya i was sort of debating whether to put that ("any tool-->any other") but then...ah, i dunno my life is screwed now.</p>
<p>What about the last question of one of the math sections with the line drawn across the triangle perpendicular to the sides.. what was the length of CP? 4?</p>
<p>I think I put 4, too.</p>
<p>Wow, maybe that horrible curve supposedly released was true... lol so glad im done with sat</p>
<p>A few other questions bugged me to no end.</p>
<p>What about the one with "Among the many discovers made possible by the invention of the telescope..." thing. I put the choice with "they" because it never said who "they" referred to</p>
<p>That was my answer, too, I think.</p>
<p>what about the one where it was like.."all of the following work for some number except..."
and it gave you like..
x < x^2 < x^3
x^2 < x^3 < x
etc...
what was the asnwer?</p>
