<p>The Test had some sections that are too easy and others that are really hard . </p>

<p>The essay was kind of easy yet difficult : strange a little bit but solvable . the assignment was : Are people too serious ?</p>

<p>I don’t know whether you agree with me , but I see that the ( 20 questions ) math section was the hardest of them all , if not of all the math sections that ever came in the SAT.</p>

<p>Also , the reading section with the short-paired and long-paired passages was hard .</p>

<p>That’s it ! Please , I want to know your impressions of the Test too .</p>

42

<p>thank goodness… so you don’t remember a question about “By age [something], Alexander the Great had conquered [something]…”?</p>

43

<p>@yjh6543</p>

<p>How do you know those are the answers?</p>

44

<p>Anybody got the answer to the math question that was something like the product of all integers between 5 to 45 where (n-1)/n ?</p>

<p>Also the last math question, what was the area of the triangle with the plots 5,t 5,t+2 etc?</p>

45

<p>@Numzi that art evaluation is indeed experimental. because I got the same experimental section in the Oct 6 test a month ago…</p>

46

<p>First one was 5/44, i omitted the other one</p>

47

<p>it’s 36 because the width is 14, the length is 4</p>

48

<p>I think i remember some Math questions …
Number 18 (Grid-in Section) : 6
2 overlapping squares, find area of shaded region : 16
n.1/n : 5/44</p>

49

<p>But if the art evaluation passage was experimental last time, it probably isn’t this time? I hope it is though :smiley: does anyone remember what else was in that section?</p>

<p>Also were there 2 48’s in the grid questions or just 1?</p>

50

<p>Numzilla : I’m pretty sure there were 2 48s :D</p>

51

<p>Which critical reading section of the four is the most likely to be the experimental one. I did very well, as to what I think, in the ballet and Chinese father sections. Both sections of the wolves and vandalism were terribly awful. First of all, I didn’t understand them under the timed conditions I was in; also, I left half the questions in each of their sections.</p>

52

<p>so the vandalism section is NOT the experimental one? :(</p>

53

<p>The experimental one is art evaluation passage for sure…</p>

54

<p>Which other passage was there in the section containing the art evaluation passage?</p>

55

<p>any one remember a “persevering and intellectually curious” for that immigrant boy’s father?</p>

56

<p>^ Yes that’s what I picked!</p>

57

<p>^Yes. “long,long” suggests preservering, and intellectually curious can be seen through his desire to read.</p>

58

<p>What was the answer for ‘swath on a canvas?’
It was either agitation or ignorance…
I don’t know the meaning of swath</p>

59

<p>Left it :smiley:
Done pretty well in the Chinese father and ballet ( left some questions though) no how I actually did in tha art evaluation and wolves **** lol
Thank god art evaluation is experimental :slight_smile:
There were 2 48’s that’s right :)</p>

60

<p>is the answer for the question about why it took vandalism a long time to reach his area</p>

<p>was the answer smth like “weren’t receptive to antiauthoritarianism”?</p>
