March 12 - Official SAT - General Discussion IS open

<p>Did anyone get an experimental writing section that contained the error in question 35? The question asked for the best revision of the underlined part of a sentence but the responses mostly pertained to the non-underlined section of the sentence.</p>

<p>did different people have different experimental sections? or did everyone have the same one?</p>

<p>We have identified four different experimental sections so far.</p>

<p>I didn't know there was going to be a 10-minute section at the end, maybe that was it?</p>

<p>"gloaming: unfortunately the response was D - "any tool" because it should be "any other tool". chicanery was correct, though."
chicanery! that was it! and yeah, now i remember that i figured out the "any other tool" thing at the last second when going back over them. whew...</p>

<p>There's always a 10-minute one at the end. I am guessing it was one of the maths but there's no way to tell</p>

<p>i had an extra verbal section somewhere in there. but the last 10 min section is always there i think.</p>

<p>gloaming, which question are you talking about with 'any tool'?</p>

<p>so did we identify which writing section was the experimental??</p>

<p>see my previous post Quadrophenic, a page or too back</p>

<p>What was the last question for the grid-ins (#10)? (not just answer, what it was about generally)</p>

<p>i thought for #10 grid-ins y > x so how could it be 4(2.5)(2.5)?
i put 4 as my answer because 4(3)(4) > 25 it wouldnt be 3 coz 4(2)(3) is only 24. someone can confirm this?</p>

<p>0<=x<=y, (x+y)^2 - (x-y)^2 >= 25, what is min value of y? (2.5)</p>

<p>(edit: added <=, my b)</p>

<p>it was 0 <= x <= y</p>

<p>0≤x≤y (x+y)^2-(x-y)^2 ≤ 25 lowest possible value for y</p>

<p>The improving the draft of the paper about how the guy's father always listens was on the Writing SAT II I took on Feb. 5th (it was delayed because of snow). Didn't help me too much.</p>

<p>Man, I'm so ****ed; I narrowed it down to chicanery and disputation, and chose disputation because it sounded more sneaky.</p>

<p>it's 2.5 because x has to be less than OR EQUAL TO y. so x and y can be equal. sqrt6.25 is 2.5.</p>

<p>how much did vocabulary matter for the test did you think?</p>

<p>i think for the ones i didn't know the vocab it was a matter of process of elimination.</p>

<p>I distributed everything and i think i got 4xy > or equal to 25, and plugged in numbers from there
ok if x could equal y then you are probably right maybe i missed that</p>
