math w/o calculator was by far the hardest section

Nah… I didn’t see the one but I read one about Anerican revolution

does anyone know how the essay factors into our score? Does it still carry weight or is it a separate score now like on the ACT?

I thought both math sections were really easy, but the reading section was a lot harder than I was expecting.

These are reported passages…not sure which were on which test…maybe someone can sort this out…

Passage about Lava
Passage about Silas a miser who loved gold
Passage about why birds fly in a V formation
Passage about a drug that is used to increase the Flu vaccines effectiveness
Passage about the comic book lady and her career
Passage about Body temperature and savannas…

what about a passage on baby fat?

@Colai2zo I had the exact same passages! Nice memory!

@TheKrompir123 what did you think?

@TheKrompir123 @Colai2zo I had the same set of passages. I thought the last passage had some hard ones.

@ssing714 I tried that and got an answer that wasn’t there. Must’ve missed a set

@buffalo11 I thought the farmer one was the hardest

A lot of people I talked to said reading was bad for them and math no calculator so we could see a generous curve there.

@Colai2zo I thought that the first passage about the comic books was interesting bc the author didn’t introduce any of the characters… it was sort of like “Sammy said this…” and I kept thinking “who is Sammy we’ve never met him before” but it became clear after a quick second reading. I thought that the other passages weren’t bad, very interesting hindsight bias and subduction one. I LOL’d at the baby fat because I pictured thousands of high school students around the country answering questions on fat babies…

The math with calculator was ridiculously easy.

What abt essay? Is it the same? Mine is discussing about responsibolities/obligations…

The last part of the section with calculator was surprisingly easy. Usually the last two grid in answers are difficult.

for the farmer one i was confused on whether they were protesting corrupt government on farming economy or that other complex answer that i forgot

Math with calculator was easy. The only one I know I got wrong was 15 since I ran out of time and didn’t even read it.

the last two grid ins were like 96% and something like 7/15 right :))

@premednyy That’s what I got, if I remember correctly.
