<p>I had reading experimental, but my friend had math and he's got a sick memory for the passages. These are the passages he remembersr:</p>
<p>Dual short passages on food and culture
Dual long passages on the Fermi Paradox and extraterrestrial life. The dual passages were on the same section.</p>
<p>Short passage on the fashion statement of mechanized pencils.
Short passage on black holes.
Long passage from a novel about a woman reporter leaving her job to marry her boyfriend.
Long passage on television and Platos elitist attitude toward the arts.</p>
<p>Long passage on needing cultural awareness to interpret a societys stories. Example of Alaskan native story of porcupine woman and beaver.</p>
<p>2400SAT, I had the same reading passages as your friend. I did horribly on this SAT, I was totally out of it <em>sigh</em>. Guess I have less than a month to learn how to beat the skanks out of the SAT.</p>
<p>it is not predetermined...if it was then they wouldnt have a range in the 8 Real Sat book</p>
<p>Yet again...</p>
<p>There was one question about how many books authors have written. It was shown in a scatterplot and you had to find to the median number of books written. I got 5, but I'm not to sure about it.</p>
<p>I think there was a mistake in the graph b/c it had two dots for the number of authors who wrote 5 books. One dot saying 6 wrote 5 and another saying 5 did. I asked the procter and she said that it made sence but I didn't think so.</p>
<p>Also there was some other messed up question. It was an equilateral triangle and you had to find the length down the middle. It gave you two lengths of other sides on it (12 and 3). I had no idea but I think I came up with 27 as the length.</p>
<p>Also, can anyone think of any other reading or writing questions?</p>
<p>sroll, I did not have the question about the authors. I am not sure about the triangle... All I know is that the one question which seemed to be incorrect was one that had a line with a semi-circle on each side. I believe (most likely misread) that it asked for the area of the shaded region, but there wasn't a shaded region! Maybe I was just having a blonde moment <em>shrug</em>. I hate math.</p>
<p>Also, colleges WILL accept the highest score from sections regardless of whether it's the old or new SAT.</p>
<p>Well, at least Carnegie Mellon will (I have an email from them).</p>
<p>sroll, I would have remembered those questions. You either took a different form or had a different experimental section (not every experimental section is identical).</p>
<p>pureiridescence:</p>
<p>The question of the two semicircles asked for the total length of the line (well, I'm pretty sure that's what it said). I got 12pi and am pretty sure about it.</p>
<p>pureiridescence, the circle question asked about the bolded outline on the circumference of the semi-circles, not for a shaded area. You couldn't tell what the individual radii were, but you didn't need to. Answer was 12pi.</p>
<p>sweeet. I hope those two were experimental, b/c I'm really uncertain about my answers for them.</p>
<p>oldtimer, I am certain it said SHADED. I remember reading that question at least 10 times, and looking at the problem, and not understanding why the question asked for a non-existent shaded region. Meh. Maybe I should stay away from Ritalin...?</p>
<p>Then I guess just hope it was in an equating section.</p>
<p>If it really did have such a bad mistake, I sure hope that they'd catch it before they give out scores.</p>
<p>were there two different versions of math experimental sections??</p>
<p>because i don't think i had any author or scatterplot problem..</p>
<p>yes, there was kimjim</p>
<p>maybe I'm the only one</p>
<p>Did you make any sense of those 2 problems Gray?</p>
<p>The semi circle one was 12pi I believe, what other one are you guys trying to figure out?</p>
<p>near the top of this page I posted the two problems I had trouble with</p>
<p>I didn't have that section, so I guess you could say it was your experimental math, since I had experimental math too but mine was an exp. math mult. choice. Sorry I couldn't help.</p>
