Most hated thing(s) in the SAT?

<p>I was just practicing the SAT, and was wondering: What do you hate the most in the SAT?</p>

<p>For me, I hate the idiom errors in the writing section. It's either you know it or you don't. You can't just "study" for it. </p>

<p>And also, I hate the CR passages. They're so dense I lose concentration and I hate their questions. </p>

<p>I know there's more from me, but what about you guys?</p>

<p>I just hate essays. Essays are quite unpredictable. Everything else is easy. :D</p>

<p>just the whole essay and the time thing.</p>

<p>Just wondering, how many of you guys actually have time left from the 25-minute essay? If so, how much?</p>

<p>And how much time do you spend on the planning, intro, examples, conclusion and stuff like that?</p>

<p>i hate timed writing with a burning passion.</p>

<p>I have some 2-3 min for checking over my stuff for grammar errors…</p>

<p>i hate the math questions that ask you to found what the 611th number will be in the sequence…geometric/arithmetic formulas take to long ( over 30 seconds). actually…</p>

<p>i hate the SAT, period.</p>

<p>i hate the fake grammar that appears on the writing section.</p>

<p>@you’llsee–there aren’t any questions on the SAT that require you to apply those formulas.</p>

<p>you all shouldnt worry bout writing too much, most colleges admit they really don’t care what you get in writing, they already have the essays you wrote to read. just do decent, you don’t have to do great.</p>

<p>xitammarg, there are questions on the SAT that require you to apply those formulas…look in the CB book, and you’ll see.</p>

<p>Mathhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh^3</p>

<p>the essay.</p>

<p>hi you’llsee–i have :slight_smile: can you cite one for me?</p>

<p>QUOTE:“can you cite one for me?”</p>

<p>^no, if you really want to know, then you’ll look for it. trust me, it’s in there. go look for yourself.</p>

<p>i have looked, and there are questions that involve series of numbers, but no questions requiring you to apply sigma notation or other such formulas.</p>

<p>The Critical Reading Passages - and their questions! I HATE HATE HATE those!!! >_< They’re just too boring and just too long!</p>

<p>The ridiculously short time-limits they have for each section - especially the essay.</p>

<p>That’s it. Everything else is alright. I used to hate Math, but with practice I eventually realized that the Math is easier than I thought - at times, that is.</p>

<p>-you’llsee…</p>

<p>I get what you mean, when you are talking about how to get, lets say, a 611th number, or an 100th number. But, you don’t need to use formulas for that. For me, I just try to know the pattern of the first few numbers and recount it a bunch of numbers later. Those aren’t that hard. </p>

<p>Are those the ones you are talking about?</p>

<p>Essays/Improving Paragraphs</p>

<p>i agree that the passages are too long and boring, and there isnt enough time for the essay portion</p>

<p>on the june SAT, i found the CR passage on yawning kind of interesting. perhaps i’m just weird =P</p>
