March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>I came so close to chooing disputation. I had a feeling that it was a false cognate (not related to dispute) but chicanery sounded nice and dastardly. ;O)</p>

<p>Ran out of time on my essay so it barely has a conclusion...it was great other than that, though...arg stupid 25 minute crap, how are you supposed to get 5 paragraphs out of that..</p>

<p>It definitely still mattered; analogies were out but completing sentences were still in.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, I didn't finish my conclusion paragraph either, even though I had great examples. Can you get higher than a 10 with no conclusion paragraph?</p>

<p>My free response answers:</p>

<h1>9 = 89</h1>

<h1>10 = 66.6</h1>

<h1>11 = 75</h1>

<h1>12 = 10</h1>

<h1>13 = 12</h1>

<h1>14 = 1/2</h1>

<h1>15 = 1600</h1>

<h1>16 = .625</h1>

<p>POST YOUR FREE RESPONSE!!!</p>

<p>for the essay an example you could have used was the US constitution the Framers believed the general population weren't smart enough to guide the nation in the right way so the only directly elected official officers were the house of representatives...the president even to this day is chosen by the electoral college and the senate was picked by state legislatures if i haven't mistaken...</p>

<p>"POST YOUR FREE RESPONSE!!!"</p>

<p>i don't remember half the questions...</p>

<h1>14 = 1/2 (i think i got 1/3 - was it the graph question?)</h1>

<h1>15 = 1600</h1>

<h1>16 = .625 - I got 2.5 (x has to be less than y)</h1>

<p>...don't remember the rest.</p>

<p>I think i got raped by the verbal...I wrote about communist in my essay :)</p>

<p>uhhh did that last one have to be integers or not?</p>

<p>What Is The Approximate Curve???</p>

<p>When Are We Gonna Get Our Scores Back Probably???</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one with the lines towards the end of the math sections?</p>

<p>The answers were like, 12,13,14,15,16...</p>

<p>I guessed and put B i think</p>

<p>Spatot- no. 2.5 is the answer</p>

<p>my 3 body pghs for the essay were: historical (slavery, civil rights etc) personal (made up a bunch of crap about fads) literature (to kill a mockingbird)</p>

<p>and then there wasn't any time for a conclusion...ugh i hate myself :O)</p>

<p>there's lots of possibilities for answers for #14 (i'm assuming the abs value question). 15 i got 1600 also i think... 16 if i think that's the question, then i got the same as dlevit.</p>

<p>Scores are available online on April 11. The SAT takes longer to grade now because of the essay so it's about a month before scores.</p>

<p>about that curve......</p>

<p>garrity....can you elaborate?</p>

<p>"#16 = .625 - I got 2.5 (x has to be less than y)"</p>

<p>See if x has to be less then y how did you get 2.5?</p>

<p>For the area proportion math quesiton - did anybody get 3/8?</p>

<p>Was the one with the circles 3pie or 6pie?</p>

<p>The curve is probably going to be a hard one because I figured that test was fairly easy.</p>

<p>"See if x has to be less then y how did you get 2.5?"</p>

<p>Ahhhh man. I've explained this.</p>

<p>X can be less than OR EQUAL TO y. so they can be the same.</p>

<p>"For the area proportion math quesiton - did anybody get 3/8?"</p>

<p>i think... that's what i got... don't remember clearly</p>

<p>The SAT doesn't really measure how smart you are, though. It measures how good you are at taking the SAT..if that's what you meant by ability, willmingtonwave. There is a difference.</p>
