Nov 5th SAT I

<p>i had 4 CR sections:</p>

<p>author and father about the house, trinidad, kid running away to america from germany, physics</p>

<p>which one was exper.? im guessing the german one, as nobody mentioned it at all.</p>

<p>Oh Christ, my CR score is dropping like crazy. I had all these answers bubbled at first, changed them at the last second ARG</p>

<p>Question: I'm pretty sure I got an 800 Math. If I get ~740 verbal (or worse) will colleges view my score as a 1600 or a 1540? I know colleges claim they only look at the highest scores...</p>

<p>also, was there a question about robins appearing signifying a change in the population?</p>

<p>i remember one of the options was:</p>

<p>"scatter, uniformity"</p>

<p>and "spate, diminish?"</p>

<p>and the question that came after was about an author's effective writing. the options were:</p>

<p>"verve"
"vistil something"
"colloquial" and some other ones.</p>

<p>was that experimental? or did everyone have these.</p>

<p>The Cather one should read like so: ...characterizing them AS either bandits or (something else) </p>

<p>Something like that.</p>

<p>"portrayed" "characterizing" etc.?</p>

<p>Yes, the question about Isabel Illende's vivacious writing. I put voracity but I believe the answer was verve.</p>

<p>Jhg888</p>

<p>That critical reading passage was definitely not experimental. I had a writing experimental, and I got that passage. I did not have a passage about some kid running away to America from Germany.</p>

<p>The answer to the question about Isabel Allende's writing was verve.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the portray/characterize then?</p>

<p>S'vrone: If I had 3 writing sections, then one was an experimental?</p>

<p>Jhg888:</p>

<p>I had author and father about the house, trinidad, manufacturers and deception/lying, and physics.</p>

<p>I didn't have the germany one, so I think it's an experimental</p>

<p>Since you didn't have the passages on manufacturing and deception, does this mean that that section was an experimental as well? Anyone else that can confirm this?</p>

<p>i had the father and the son, trinidad, physics, and about deception, i thought the deception and lying one was the easiest, but i think it is the experimental one based on other peoples responses</p>

<p>Mariner 21 </p>

<p>For writing, there are only three sections that count towards your score: the essay, a 25-minute multiple choice section, and a 10-minute multiple choice section. If you had anything additional, then you had a writing experimental.</p>

<p>It is not experimental since i had 4 math sections.</p>

<p>Anyway I didnt really care much for CR since all the college im applying (or rather those that need a good SAT score) take the scores separately.</p>

<p>Ugh, I think I have like 4 of the math wrong. What do you guys think the curve will be on that?</p>

<p>yea so far i have 2 or 3 verbal wrong and 1 writing wrong if there were in fact 4 D's... which would be pretty damn amazing if there were</p>

<p>i had 4 D's but 4 of any letter basically never happens.. so i changed one of them and felt confident i had made a mistake with one of the D's... 680 last time on writing though so what do i know.</p>

<p>i put generational for the quotes because i believe earlier in the passage it said the farmhouse was very modern when it was first built... which is probably wrong... so 3 wrong verbal</p>

<p>but can anyone confirm the quotations question... im not satisfied with irony.. how would it be ironic if there were quotations... moving to a "modern" house would not be ironic...</p>

<p>and i think the curve for writing and for verbal will be normal with a slightly harsher curve on math than normal.</p>

<p>I'm still holding on to "shattered" characterizing the exent to which old theorems were discredited. The sentence read "When the first quantum paradoxes shattered what the physicists thought true..."</p>

<p>for the one with the # sign in math signifying to multiply the largest prime factor of a certain number with another, which roman numberals were right? I thought that only I and III were right, but that wasn't an answer choice. I knew that II was wrong, so I went ahead and marked the one that said only I. Is that the right answer?</p>

<p>D3!ty: I got that answer as well. What is the consensus as to the right answer here?</p>

<p>LBtg: The irony would result from two old parents saying they are becoming more "modern" by redoing the outside of their house. Its vauge I know... but it was the lack of irony that was the correct answer. The author put this in parantheses as a type of sidenote humor.</p>

<p>Yes Anon answer to the #prime has been confirmed to be A: I only.</p>

<p>BTW answer was irony. The author was noting an apparent inconsistency (and hence an irony) with her parents' actions</p>
