March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>Huh. I didn't buy it after reading Amazon reviews. Seems like crap. I used Mcgraw-Hills. :)</p>

<p>I dont know if any of you have tried, but erasing an answer you originally marked down is almost impossible. It's like there's this permanent mark there (but faded). I changed my answers a couple of times and I'm afraid of what the machine might pick up. Any suggestions? Have you guys had any experience with erasing and the scantron? Thx a lot.</p>

<p>claridge... ur jumping from perimeter to area... trust us... it's 12pi... it's like 5 v 1... just accept it ;)</p>

<p>Just get your score- do not cancel- you can take it again. A score is better than no score</p>

<p>I think wayyy early in this thread somewhere everyone confirmed it was 12pi</p>

<p>Well, I have a nice eraser. But there is still a faint watermark, and the machine -should- ignore that.</p>

<p>yes... yes i do... i'm in calc bc, it would suck if i didn't, i don't see how ur logic works tho... take out a pencil... and draw... very slowly... a big circle... with a squigly through the middle... note... outside the circle with radius of 6 is a circumference of 12pi... now... divide that by 2... what's that... 6pi... Now... take the two semi's on the inside with radius of 3 each... that's 6pi/2 for each semi... therefore you multiply by two and add that to the original 6pi... what's ur answer? 12pi... CLEARLY not 6pi</p>

<p>Mcgraw-Hills in conjunction to the offical one WORKS WONDERS. </p>

<p>And get Barron's Math is you want REALLY HARD TRAINING.</p>

<p>cujoe: By the way, you counted wrong. It's 5 vs. 3 - at least on this thread.</p>

<p>does that change the math? no... it doesn't</p>

<p>I agree with cujoe...</p>

<p>LOL...actually there are many, many more 12pi people earlier in the thread...</p>

<p>Ok, needless to say, I am a little nervous about the SAT today...</p>

<p>from what I have seen on the boards, it looks as though I did better than expected, and I thought I did well</p>

<p>I'm sure this is difficult to project, but what do you think 10total Math ?'s wrong and 15 total Verbal ?'s wrong equates to?</p>

<p>Also, which math/verbal sections were experimental?</p>

<p>One last thing that I'd like clarified</p>

<p>I have heard a variety of opinions on the Essay portion. My writing was certainly 6 worthy, but I was only able to write the topic sentence of my last pargraph...i have heard that it is greated on the quality of your writing, for the most part </p>

<p>can anyone clarify?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hope everyone did well</p>

<p>You know how when you flip the page and continue to work, past pages press together and end up leaving stray marks everywhere? Yeah, well I was going back through my test erasing those, and my wonderful proctor who couldn't tell time (first she decides to face all desks AWAY from the clock... then she says she will keep time for us. I have only my conclusion to write for my essay, and she says that we have 5 minutes remaining. Being an idiot, I decide to use 2 minutes to brainstorm something brilliant. 15 seconds elapse, and the official timekeeper says over the announcements that I need to stop writing. No conclusion, bye bye essay points. Hopefully they'll only take 1 point off since it was pretty long anyways...) decides to gallop over to me (well she couldn't really gallop, being 50 pounds overweight) and tell me that I was not to backtrack -and I quote- "under any circumstances." What a glorious day it has been for me.</p>

<p>i love being ass! haha, sorry claridge that wasn't meant to be insulting, but seriously the answer is 12pi</p>

<p>damn i realized i started with finding perimeter then used area techniques after. sucks</p>

<p>Agree with cujo. Do you not understand the math, Claridge? Your inability to understand this problem leads me to believe that YOU are the one who doesn't know what 2(pi)r is used for.</p>

<p>what about the recycling passage question?</p>

<p>both authors focus on:
philisophical something
popularity
something
etc.</p>

<p>actually, it's 6 pi. i got it wrong.</p>

<p>600 on both..
with some error...
a bit more for english possibly
a bit less for math possibly</p>
