<p>@ Massgirl I recall some of the passages, like Caribbean, Quantum Physics (pretty alright I guess), deception, and the farmhouse one. I had 4 CR sections, my luck right?</p>
<p>^ neither are experimental. everyone who had the same version had those passages</p>
<p>Essay (too much personal independence/selfishness v. community?):
BOMBED, though I barely prepared for it. I felt frustratingly apathetic while trying to write it. Only wrote 1 page and the language and examples I used weren’t even eloquent, impressive, or well-developed. Tried to use John Donne “no man is an island” and Wall Street “greed is good” but couldn’t produce anything insightful. I got a 680 on writing in June with only 4 MC questions wrong and an 8 on the essay. This time I probably got a 5 or 6. Bye 700…</p>
<p>Writing (girls ice cream melting down their arms, company funding its own research):
Always the easiest for me. Seemed even easier this time. I don’t think I got any wrong.</p>
<p>Math (7^1600, circle with triangle inscribed):
VERY difficult for me. I became flustered during the math. I got a 640 last time (lowest subscore) and was really hoping to improve so I could reach the 90th percentile. Probably not gonna happen because I left 3-6 questions blank per section. Didn’t have time to really try every problem.</p>
<p>Critical Reading (Echolocation, college athletics, asian artist):
Got a 670 last time without finishing the sections. Answered every question confidently but with care this time. I found this one extremely easy and have been reading through the CC thread and don’t think I got any wrong. Anticipating a high score for this section.</p>
<p>Reading: Tricky
Writing: If the experimental section is the one I think it is, then it wasn’t too bad. If the experimental section was the harder section I don’t think it is, then it’s moderately hard.
Math: Easy.
Essay Topic: Easy</p>
<p>liyixinhua…have you figured out which writing section was the experimental one?And also,how were you able to tell that section 2 wasn’t experimental?</p>
<p>M 700 (i know i am -2 but i think it could be as bad as -4)
CR 730 (-5)
W 720 (MC 75 E 10)</p>
<p>Does anybody else think it would be a good idea to create a separate thread for each test form to avoid confusion, assuming that there are only two separate tests?</p>
<p>Perge…there’s a lot of confusion this time & already lots of threads too.I get the feeling that CB is trying to outsmart CC,seriously!</p>
<p>Exactly my point! CC was getting too smart so CB felt they needed get us back.</p>
<p>the word you mean solipsistic. I wish I had that question as I know a lot about this depressing philosophy</p>
<p>I still think it’s just as easy for an individual to figure out the experimental section. I found out the same way I always do - if people are taking out their calculators the same sections I am, we probably have the same tests. And if during one section the people around with the same test are taking out calculators and I have a writing section (or vice versa - I have math and those people aren’t whipping out the calculators), then it’s probably experimental.</p>
<p>Maybe that logic is flawed but I’ve taken the test several times and it’s worked for me - including this time. :)</p>
<p>But it WAS weird when I realized people were talking about different tests. Really psyched me out.</p>
<p>I know! Everytime I think I’ve found someone who had the same test as me, they’ll have questions/passages I’ve never seen before. From various threads, I’ve pieced together like 4-6 different forms of the test. There is a lot of overlap of passages/questions, but there are definitely multiple forms. What kind of game is CB playing? o.O</p>
<p>^More interestingly is that how will they standardize four-six different forms? That will be hard as hell.</p>
<p>No kidding…maybe its done on a regional basis? I know that’s how it is for the essay prompt.</p>
<p>It was my first time taking it and I was pretty nervous. I think i had a math dummy. I totally forgot about dummys and was freaking out cuz math seemed really difficult. </p>
<p>CR: Monarch butterflies, architecture, man visiting his wife’s aunts.
I feel fairly confident about it, though after reading some discussions about it, i am not so sure how I feel. there was one section with loads of SC. that was really hard. i think i bombed them.
Math: the cube block one. graph with tanks filling up. odd numbers in the first 101 numbers or something.
i thought math was quite hard. ran out of time which never happened on practice tests. I omitted one question. i hope the curve is good.
writing: same as usual i guess. pretty straightforward, but I think i did make some careless mistakes.</p>
<p>Do any of you know if this has happened before?I guess what I’m asking is-has there been earlier instances where there was more than 1 version of the test on any given date(excluding the International tests where the time difference is huge)?</p>
<p>Consider the possibility that there are 2 versions of the test so that a neighbor cannot look at your answer sheet to cheat</p>
<p>I was doing some collegeboard practice test that I found on here which was the 09-10 practice booklet (Jan 06) and when I took the CR section ALOT (like 5-6 in one section of CR) of words that were on direct hits came up on it…</p>
<p>This made my score get up to a 680… but I dont want to feel cheated, because I feel like I’m not going to see that many words from direct hits on the real SAT. By the way, I have only memorized the first 150 direct hits words so this makes me even more concerned…</p>
<p>Does direct hits usually provide 10-15 words on the real test? Because if thats the case I’ll feel alot better about my score…</p>
<p>Worst Case Scenario:
Math: 4 wrong, 1 omit
Critical Reading: 7 wrong
Writing: 5 wrong

<p>words repeat. trust me.it still helps. dh is awesome.</p>
