November 2009 SAT Test Discussion

<p>‘motion’ the answer is 2 per my xon</p>

<p>geee, most of those reading passages discussed i dont think i remmebered having those. Did anyone have a reading passage about like ancient inca civilization in a place and then it turns out to be a beautiful scenery place. something along those lines. i hope that one is my experimental because i think i got most of those questions for that section wrong. lol</p>

<p>no ur wrong</p>

<p>Is it true that the November test is scaled more? because more stupid kids take he test?</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>(10 char)</p>

<p>Another question on a sentence error part of the writing section had something about:
“when one learns of the blahblahblah”</p>

<p>And the “one learns” part was underlined…but I still said the sentence had no error. I was super close to circling “one learns” though…</p>

<p>Does anyone know the correct answer to that problem?</p>

<p>At raine2270, I remember that question, and I said no error for that one. that was one of three no errors i got. (I had 2 writing sections with 35 questions though)</p>

<p>I forget the specific writing questions, but I had 3 no errors in the one writing section I had.</p>

<p>Did anybody get the one about Maria and the ocean? And if you did, was the primary purpose something about her perspectives?</p>

<p>@Rednada</p>

<p>yeah I had two writing sections too…so one of them was experimental. But I haven’t been able to figure out which one was experimental and I would really like to know…</p>

<p>The one with the modern building restoration paragraph correction was experimental.</p>

<p>I think your two sections were 4 and 7, of which 4 was real and 7 was experimental.<br>
The real section was much easier, and had questions like:</p>

<p>“the cat wagged their tail(S), which was surprising to Ruth, who had always thought cats hated water”</p>

<p>“The jaguar was photographed in Florida, and people now believe that they may be making a comeback” (no error)
and</p>

<p>Paco Underwood is looking closely at shoppers to observe when they buy stuff
(main idea of the passage)</p>

<p>hi :slight_smile:
i thought the preservation of buildings one was also more difficult…
are you sure that it is the experimental one??
THANKYOU :)</p>

<p>@rednada</p>

<p>I don’t remember having the cats OR the shoppers paragraph at all…</p>

<p>For my two writing sections, the paragraph error part I had were about smiling/feelings and then egyption pyramids.</p>

<p>Mjy friend said she got something about shoppers as well but I don’t remember that at ALL. How can we all have different versions??</p>

<p>@ raine2270
Yea there were two COMPLETELY different versions of the test (with a few similar questions)</p>

<p>Here’s what I know:</p>

<p>CR: (mine)–> two japanese teenagers, tv&reading, art forgery, and biology&politics</p>

<p>CR:(other)–> hydrogen fuel cells (?)
hope that helps</p>

<p>But for some reason, we did have some of the same identifying sentence errors… strange</p>

<p>Jhchoi: Yup, the restoration of modern buildings is experimental.</p>

<p>i had the test with hydrogen fuel cells, and had a writing experimental…</p>

<p>the experimental was the one with the sentence correction: “Youtube was founded in 2005 to allow users to share, record, and blah blah videos online…”</p>

<p>okay I had the fuel cells CR passaeg, and I had writing experimental as well, but for some reason I don’t recall the youtube one AT ALL. I honestly don’t know if its my memory, or maybe this time collegeboard just completely mix and matched sections of the test. </p>

<p>If there wereo nly two version of the test I would be able to find complete similarities with people with my version, but it just feels like EVERYONE has a different version.</p>

<p>i had writing exp and no youtube as well
@raine2270-i think we had the same test</p>

<p>any answers you want to ask about?</p>

<p>@xAAAx</p>

<p>For the hyodrogen fuel CR passage, I thought the questions were really hard…but I don’t fully remember the wording of the passages.
There were two really similar questions tho, one was like “what would passage 2 say in response to passage 1”, and for the answer i said that passage 2 would say that “US needs to end dependence on foreign oil at all costs.”</p>

<p>and the 2nd question was like “what would passage 2 most say about the “costs” mentioned in passage 1”
and for the answer i said that passage 2 would say “the fuel efficiency of the fuel cells will compensate for the costs”</p>

<p>or SOMETHING like that (i paraphrased a lot)</p>

<p>did u get answers sort of like that?</p>

<p>raine, i got the same answers as you did</p>
