November 2010 SAT - Experimental

<p>@hypsmc
Pretty sure Carribeans was not experimental as it was a fairly common section among test takers. I was thinking its probably both the fingerprint (Small minority had) and one other of the four we had. We can eliminate deception and the 19 question passage which leaves me to think it was the quantum physics/farmhouse(Not entirely sure). </p>

<p>And seriously, did no one have a section with 23 questions? I’m starting to worry I had a faulty test now!</p>

<p>LOL i was wondering why you didnt add grandmas fighting.</p>

<p>Just to add: I had reading experimental, and my 4 sections were:</p>

<p>Farmhouse
Deception
Physics
GrandMas</p>

<p>And no, I dont remember anything about FESTOONS. </p>

<p>Math:
Circle in 2 squares, surface area of block thingy, folding dice</p>

<p>Writ:
Chinese airplanes, dragonwings</p>

<p>soo i had two long grammar sections…does that mean i had an experimental grammar section?
and if so…which one was experimental? first long grammar section…or the second one? anyoneee know!? </p>

<p>ghamshae :slight_smile:
^^ thanks in korean ;)</p>

<p>Well, can you tell us what your improving paragraphs were about?</p>

<p>oh ***** kinda forgot…i have really bad memory.
but do you have any ideas what they were about? to jog my memory?</p>

<p>Well, there was one about a chinese Airplane builder in Dragonwings.</p>

<p>Another was about college students.</p>

<p>oh ok…uhmm college students…i THINK was the second long writing section for me? (i’m not positive)
but any idea then?</p>

<p>Thats probably your real one. The other is probably an experimental.</p>

<p>yayyyy i failed in writing too then *sighhh
can’t wait until the 23rd :confused: nawwttt
that’s the day my parents will non-stop yell at me ;( lol</p>

<p>lol i cant wait until 23rd. Hope i get a 2400 (i prob didnt) :(</p>

For clarification festoon was an answer choice for a complete the sentence in a critical reading section. I think it was the fourth of six in that section. </p>

<p>The question itself was something along the lines of lava covering a “thin(the blank you must fill in)” layer over rock. The answer choices were festoon, patina, monolith, and two more. It would not be surprising if you don’t remember this.</p>

<p>lol, hopefullyyyyyy
and hopefully i get near to that as possible (and i probs didnt ;( )</p>

<p>ok so i had an experimental writing section for sure. My first section was right after the essay and it was kind of hard, my improving paragraphs section was something about airplane building and it mentioned the Wright Brothers and my second one was section 6 and the improving paragraphs section was about the different time zones and how a traveller had to change his watch every time he went to a different city/town. so which one was experimental?</p>

<p>Sorry, but I had a different section suk, because I remember all my answers.</p>

<p>Aqua: your exerimental was the watch, the real was the wright brothers.</p>

<p>@aquamanny17 city traveller with watch was experimental.</p>

<p>What?! the “watch writing section” was soooooo easy, isn’t the experimental section supposed to be harder than the real one?</p>

<p>i think i had wright brothers…and the actual improving sentences and identifying sentence error questions were semi-easy right??
anyone, remember any of the questions for that section?</p>

<p>@genesis: its good for me. that gives me more hope it was experimental and a good shot at an 800 on CR and a combined 2400 =)</p>

<p>Well, for the wright brothers I had only ONE no error (2nd question, smething like under the guidance, bla blah)</p>

<p>The improving paragraphs are super harsh though.</p>

<p>I put: Add info about chinatown
Leave the “too” there
Remove “when” and add “at the same time” (B)
Add : although he set out to write his bio, he wrote … to the conclusion</p>

<p>Anyone confirm?</p>

<p>@Hatethis: I’m good at writing anyway, I just think the writing section with the watch was hecka easy, idk what " new hard questions they were trying to test " haha, well i gtg do hw</p>
