Nov SAT Tectonic Plates, Elaine Version!!!!

<p>oh man now it sounds like bold is the right answer. i chose competitive because the candidates are shooting cons about each other so …yeah now it sounds like bold is the answer :(</p>

<p>What about this math question: there was a chart with functions, question was like if f(a)=a+1 then what is g(a)</p>

<p>I got 0 cool i dont exactly remember but I was confident. What did you guys get for the ellipse one?</p>

<p>i got 0 too</p>

<p>what did you guys get with the question about the deer population?
i kept getting different answer. how do you do that problem? just plug in 600?</p>

<p>I got 2 for that one but by no means was I confident.
It was more of a guess, I really didn’t understand the question for some reason. </p>

<p>Collegeboard is out of control with all these tests in one month.
They are guaranteed to screw something up.</p>

<p>i got two writing sections but i’m not sure which ones real.
one of them was too easy, and the other one was “okay.”
One was about the dad and the son, (not sure but something along those lines) and the other one had something to do with caves.</p>

<p>I put two down as well, but the question made no sense to me</p>

<p>dad and son… that doesn’t sound familiar unless it was the one associated with the easier writing section.</p>

<p>i’m not really sure but the cave or apes one was really hard and the one about the dad/son/window something was super duper ultra easy.</p>

<p>The dad and son was experimental according to many people. Also, i got competitive D:</p>

<p>what happens if the College Board screw up? That question was wierd.
Is there a way that we can get points for screwed up questions? or even knowing whether questions are screwed up?
what if questions were screwed up but not noticed by the college board…?</p>

<p>i also got the one about the cave! but i think i got math experimental so the cave one is real?</p>

<p>cave is real. and tthat question with the chart was very poorly worded, but its ez if u understand it. the answer was 0.</p>

<p>In case anyone is wondering, I think this is what we’re referring to as test form “B”. I was really confused about the whole “elaine” thing at first and the main girl in the passage, her name was actually LORNA. </p>

<p>There was NO experimental writing section on this test, I repeat, NO experimental writing. I thought section 2 which was writing and I’m assuming what people are saying is the harder one was easier than the ten minute section at the end! Or maybe I’m wrong and I did horribly… </p>

<p>HERE IS THE BREAKDOWN OF SAT SECTIONS FOR THOSE WHO DON’T KNOW…</p>

<p>3 reading are scored
2 writing are scored + the essay
3 math are scored
1 experimental </p>

<hr>

<p>= 10 sections total. </p>

<p>Writing is always sentence errors and improving passages, reading is completion of sentences and comprehension. There were definitely only two writing sections and four reading, so the experimental had to be reading. </p>

<p>And yeah the chart in math sucked, the f(x) yes? With a as a variable and g(a)? Maybe I’m remembering wrong. Not labeled well.</p>

<p>I think if College Board made a bad question a lot of people will get it wrong and looking at the bell curve they’ll redo the raw score chart. So maybe instead of a math section being out of 24 it’ll be out of 23 with a question that few people got right. </p>

<p>[The</a> SAT Scoring Scale](<a href=“http://www.testmasters.net/SatAbout/Scoring-Scale]The”>The SAT Scoring Scale)</p>

<p>That’s kind of what the tables look like. I know because my Kaplan prep class sent me a practice test book and you score your own exams using those charts. </p>

<p>The writing scaled score is calculated with a double sided table. If you got a five on your essay, and say a 35 raw score on the m.c. sections you just go down and right until they meet.</p>

<p>the answer to the f(x) and g(x) chart one was 0 according to what i put</p>

<p>and was the name really Lorna? i dont remember the lorna name somehow just elaine lol</p>

<p>Elaine was Lorna’s friend after the wedding I think. And yes I got zero too as I remember it because the value of g ended up being -1 based on the value of f, and g(a) = a + 1? It’s all coming back now.</p>

<p>And yeah when I first read the Lorna/Elaine passage it was something like “lorna was crying on a bench because of her fight”. I didn’t read the passage closely at all at first and I assumed Lorna was a baby and nothing really made sense.</p>

<p>lol i dont remember seeing lorna in the first sentence of paragraph but yeah i did remember reading that a girl was crying then it continued on</p>

<p>im trying to remember the questions i had with the questions but i cant seem to remember
:(</p>

<p>Something about… uhhhh hmmm I don’t remember they’re all so specific.</p>
