May 2010 SAT I thread

<p>They canceled it for tornadoes AFTER we had already taken half the test… From what I did do, however, I thought it was fairly easy. Hopefully the makeup test will be about the same!</p>

<p>Harq…why would they cancel it if you were already inside…? that doesn’t make much sense</p>

<p>Exactly
The worst part is that they kept us there until the warning passed, which makes me question why they could not just let us continue testing. I guess someone would have complained about distractions (Tons of thunder and the tornado sirens) and voided our tests, but I really didn’t mind it too much… I feel really bad for the people doing the subject tests - even if they finished, the scores will still be voided.</p>

<p>Anyone who took the May SAT as well as either January or March care to assess the relative difficulty?</p>

<p>Math harder than Jan
CR easier than Jan
Writting harder than Jan</p>

<p>But overall, it was not a difficult test, Jan was just way too easy!</p>

<p>I found CR a breeze (looking over the CR thread, I think I got every question right), some of Writing was challenging, and Math gave me a headache.</p>

<p>CR was a bit easier, though I think I aced the experimental section and only did so-so on the passages everyone is talking about in the thread. </p>

<p>Math: Hella harder. I’m no math whiz, but I got a 690 last time and I’m hoping for a 650-660. I just screwed up and blanked on a couple of things. </p>

<p>W: I don’t know, I’m not that great at this section, but I think it was slightly easier, or about the same.</p>

<p>I’m wondering about maybe canceling my scores, I feel that I improved my W and CR scores, but did not do so well on math.
errrggghhh</p>

<p>I find it really interesting when people have problems with the math section and have no problem with CR and W. I think I will probably have one or two wrong answers maximum at math.</p>

<p>Reasoning’s math sections are too easy for my country’s education system. Actually asking questions in this level is the right thing to do. My country has a errorneous education system and we are learning everything in a level that we will never need in high school and maybe, if we choose an unrelated field, not even in college.</p>

<p>when are results coming out</p>

<p>May 20th I believe</p>

<p>CR was probs the same.
Writing was a bit easier.
Math was easy (in both).</p>

<p>what was the answer for the M question with 4 digits…the grid in? </p>

<p>And I left #13 on the 20 min. M blank…the one with X^3 = ?..how do you do that q.? I was stuck…first time I ever left a M one blank :S</p>

<p>oh, Viggy: the 4 digit was the 8521</p>

<p>also for the one you were stuck on, all you had to do was expand the exponent and then factor out the x^n and cross off with the other side. then combine erms on the inside of the left side of the eqn once you factored out the x^n</p>

<p>wait, i saw on the other thread ppl subbed in 0 for n…then u get 2x + X^2 I think…WOW HOW DID I MESS THAT UP???</p>

<p>damn it…no hope for 800 now T-T</p>

<p>oh, and wanna predict the curve for M for me anyone? i am a first time taker, so i cant be a good judge of how hard it was because i was nervous the entire time and found everything hard…kinda</p>

<p>I thought math was more difficult, writing was more difficult (but easier essay topic!), and reading was easier.</p>

<p>Math killed me. Ugh.</p>

<p>Math was easy, what was the answer to the median question?</p>

<p>And I have a comparative government exam on the monday may 3. I went to a review session right after.</p>

<p>when are all the questions and answers coming out?</p>

<p>i got 26 for the median question MITHopeful</p>

<p>May 20th KoreanSwag</p>

<p>I don’t know about the subbing in 0 thing, but all you have to do is substitute x^n or something out and it cancels and in the end you are left with 2x+x in the brackets which equals 3x. That’s the answer.</p>

<p>Ugh… this was my first time taking the SAT. Looking through these threads, I don’t think I did too well. I didn’t even finish my essay in time and couldn’t come up with any good examples =\ What’s weird is that I’m absolutely horrible at math, but I think I did okay on it. Better than my PSAT, hopefully (520… ugh). </p>

<p>But I’m taking the ACT in June which I think I’ll be way better at. I’m just glad that this one stress is gone and I can focus on AP tests/ACT now :)</p>
