March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>:D Yeah, you're prolly right!!! :D EASY EASY EASY WRITING!!!! <strong><em>Starts skipping in circles</em></strong></p>

<p>i meant that the test was easier than the 8 tests of the collegeboard book not the sat book lol...</p>

<p>I know, I was responding to Aignam.</p>

<p>yeah the telephone math problem and the last spr were a little tricky, but i think those are the only ones i missed in math. i did well in CR though (unlike usual)</p>

<p>anyq know the writting or verbal expected curves</p>

<p>Here's my opinion...maybe you agree</p>

<p>Math: slightly easy (but you never know what mistakes you made...hoping to stay out of the -2 760 & DEF out of the -3 720 guantlet...but it might turn out that way)</p>

<p>Reading: sentence completions were a bit harder than i expected; passages were normal maybe a tiny bit easy</p>

<p>Writing: sentence corrections slightly hard, error ID easy, essay was what it always is (although i couldnt use my routine examples...but it was OK)</p>

<p>ANYONE ELSE?</p>

<p>I had the creativity prompt</p>

<p>What do you think if I had two phenomenal body paragraphs + 1 bad one + 1 sentence conclusion that i ran out of time. can i still get a 6?</p>

<p>a sliverstorm maybe???</p>

<p>It couldn't have been 4. 3 was the hypotenuse. The answer was 2.</p>

<p>"Well if you multiply 40 by 40, you get 1600. Which means the square root of 1600 is 40 (because 40^2=1600) and when you divide 1600 by 40, you get 40.</p>

<p>It took me a while to think of it like that, I had to skip it and come back to it. The way they worded it made it kindof confusing, I think"</p>

<p>DAMN IT! I spent about 3 whole minutes on that question, and I still didn't get it!! I knew exactly what they wanted, I just didn't know how to find the answer. And the way you explained it, it makes perfect sense to me. Luckily I just left it blank and didn't lose points, but I'm still sorta mad at myself.</p>

<p>Where on the princeton review website does it talk about the curve?</p>

<p>RBase07- what do u think u got?</p>

<p>ehh that traingle problem i got right but the diagram was wholly deceiving.</p>

<p>any1 know the writting or verbal expected curves</p>

<p>what telephone math problem are you talking about?</p>

<p>(m+n)^k problem: there were only three combinations because m+n is a sum and order doesn't matter</p>

<p>would you reccomend it for us may takers?</p>

<p>I took the CB and PR practice tests and I thought the CR and Math was so much harder...I got like 700+ Verbals and 650~ Maths on the Pr and I think I did horrible on the real thing. :(</p>

<p>I found the sentence completions to be easy. I was a bit disappointed, since I put the most abount of my study time into knowing vocabulary. Oh well. At least I used some good words and rhetorical devices in my essay.</p>

<p>2 wrong math- stupid mistakes, 770? all we can do is hope.</p>

<p>Deus.ex.machina- I am confused about social class thing, how'd you get that</p>

<ol>
<li>what's the subtext of her friend's comment that there's no servants to clean (comment on change in social class)----> I put something else</li>
<li>what does mrs. d's daughter (angel?) mean when she says that having mrs, d do housework may give offense? (housework not suited for lady of her social class)-----> I put something else</li>
<li>what caused mrs. d's reaction to the comment about the new ppl that moved into the grocery store (was it a veiled insult? i'm not sure about this one)----> I put misrepresentation of the mean and evil people who burned old sign</li>
</ol>
