<p>I don't think so . . . most of my teachers recommend us to use a 3 sentence conclusion . . . . One to address the central idea, one for the thesis, and one to bring the paper full circle.</p>
<p>I got owned by the critical reading section too. Its the only thing that made me miss my goal in all the practice tests i took.</p>
<p>i'm actually getting more right on the critical reading section (at least according to this board) then I thought</p>
<p>i don't remember much about the writing, lol, so i'm not sure about that</p>
<p>math wasn't too bad, but we'll see</p>
<p>ok, thank god, gal. I am really worried though, I wish I had had more space, I had the time.</p>
<p>Well I did one of those Kaplan practice test things (like I went down to the test center, etc.) and I used a 3 sentence conclusion and got a 6/6 on it. However, I always use a 3 sentence conclusion, since my AP teacher and last year my English II teacher recommended it</p>
<p>I sort of ran out of time. My 1st 2 body paragraphs were really good (def worth a 6) but i ran out of time & wrote abt 5 lines for the 3rd one & a 1 sentence conclusion. My 1st 2 body paragraphs were long & I almost filled up both pgs but abt 5 lines short. Any chance?</p>
<p>I use 5 sentence conclusions because thats what my teacher says to use but I should have gone with the 3 because i didn't get to write my last sentence.</p>
<p>i am good at math...but today i got pwned</p>
<p>yeah same here. I made some ridiculously stupid mistakes (2 divided by 2 is 1, not 2...). egh. This thread is depressing me.</p>
<p>Our proctor started telliing us a story about her kid getting a 1600 on his sat before one of our sections and i was sitting there thinking I've already been here an extra hour because of the snow so can we please just finish.</p>
<p>yeah the last free response was very easy...and i am very dumb. lol, hopefully -2 math is 760+</p>
<p>Well, my friend from Texas was nice enough to send me a Testmasters SAT word list for the past January SAT (I live in California), and I thought that it helped a lot. Yeah, sorry... that was so random. Anyhow, I hope that everyone reaches their target scores. As for me, I probably won't post anything SAT-related until I receive my scores, which isn't until about April 11 (if you're talking about checking them online). Sheesh... it's going to be almost a whole month before I find out.</p>
<p>I know many of you have had to put up with a lot of redundancy. However, please respond soon to my questions. thanks.</p>
<ol>
<li>About what score in verbal could I look for if i guessed 5 or 6 and missed another 2 or 3? </li>
<li>I will not bother with math...</li>
<li><p>I am quite confused with the writing section. I did great/excellent on the essay and the FIRST 35 question writing section (Section 2). I did not skip any and feel confident for section 1 (essay) and section 2 (grammar). HOWEVER, I encountered another 35 question grammar section (Section 5 or 6). Believe it or not, I only answered up to number 24!!! Now for the million dollar question...Could the second grammar section (section 5 or 6 of the actual test) be experimental??? I remember that the first grammar section (section 2) dealt with a passage about some guy's father and his social skills. Is this the writing section that is NOT EXPERIMENTAL? I sure hope so. And how are some of you able to assert confidentally if a section is experimental or not? Is this information on the internet??? </p></li>
<li><p>Last question...I promise. On the old SAT, I got a 700 on math. If I get a better math score on the new SAT, will college admission reviewers combine my highest verbal and math scores, regardless if its from the old or new SAT?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Sorry, it might've already been answered through this monster thread but it would take forever to go through. So my question is if you guys remember which one is the math experimental section? Is it the one where they had the question find the 99th term in the sequence of 8,5,7,8,8 where the next terms in the sequence is the closest next integer of the average of the last two terms preceding it. It also had the question where xy = x+y where y > 2 and the answer choices were which satisifies values of x. Thanks in advance, and if that happens to not be experimental, could u give ur answers for those two. thanks agin</p>
<p>Ill try to answer them.
1. Check the curves, 700 ish
3. YES, experimental!! Lucky day!
4. They take the highest.</p>
<p>another quick question: the one sentence completition where the answer was...consigned (it had two blanks) could someone tell me what the question was and/or the other answer choices. thanks.</p>
<p>did anyone find the article on renovation of theaters to be a killer? i was doing pretty well, but then this came along near the end. i started dozing off, and then i was like s hit, only 5 minutes left. it was hard to determine what was the point of the author</p>
<p>sickofflorida - the second writing section was experimental, so that's the good news :) We know because firstly you're only supposed to have 1 long grammar section, and second because not everyone had the questions in that second grammar section, therefore, it must've been experimental.</p>
<p>citeruid - I didn't have that question, so i'm guessing that it was for your experimental math section</p>
<p>i find that to be unfair, the old sat math was easier... and had a nicer curve... that shouldn't be how it works, but it is</p>
<p>Thanks, New Yorker. But how do you know that the second writing section was experimental? </p>
<p>I think everyone had the first wrtiting section about the father and his social skills, right? Therefore, it should NOT be experimental. In reality, I think everyone who took the test today had exactly the SAME QUESTIONS, just not the same experimental sections, right?</p>
<p>P.S. I was also born in NY. I hope to return to NY for college.</p>
