****November 2013 SAT Thread***

<p>Yea as far as I can tell there were two very different tests.</p>

<p>@DadBull yup, there two different tests today. do you know which experimental section u had?</p>

<p>Is it possible for there to be >1 experimental per section (m, cr, w)?</p>

<p>@Iabella </p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the exp writing was with the dad. Food coloring was the actual one</p>

<p>there was a question that was like</p>

<p>y=-2x^2 + 3</p>

<p>what is the greatest possible value of y?</p>

<p>i was stuck between 3 and 5. 5 applies if you x = i the imaginary number but i wasnt sure if they were asking for htat?</p>

<p>@vivizs - UGH! Thank, though (:</p>

<p>for the girl and her birthday passage why was her “ease” “casually troubling”?
because she was anxious about development or because she thought she should have paid more attention to change</p>

<p>I took the test without experimental section (because I had special accommodations), and I’ll tell you that the disney wasn’t the experimental.</p>

<p>@ccameron</p>

<p>It was 3; all numbers are assumed to be real on the SAT</p>

<p>@ccameron - it was 3</p>

<p>YESSS thank you :slight_smile: @cherym @vivivz thats what i put</p>

<p>Cherym: I put that she should have paid more attention to change</p>

<p>@hoojoo</p>

<p>I had the ones about authenticity pertaining to music, the swimmer and the fish painting, the one on mars, the one about the family that just moved to America and bought a Cadillac, and some short passages about Charlotte Bronte, I think. </p>

<p>Hbu?</p>

<p>my experimental was math. did you have a section that had 3 questions based on a chart of trees and their growth factor? the entire section was EXTREMELY hard and i guessed on most of the questions</p>

<p>someone please start threads for the 2 versions</p>

<p>@cherym
I put she should have paid more attention to change, since it made more sense with the analogy of the hole in her pocket</p>

<p>yay that’s what I put! thanks!</p>

<p>For the writing section about food flavoring, was the change to add info about how the drinks were altered or to add a quote from a scientist studying flavor?</p>

<p>For the math question where you had to find the slope of the line that had an x-intercept of x=6 and was tangent to (-2/3)x^2 - 4x at x=-3, what was the slope of the line? I kept getting different answers and finally settled on -2/3</p>

<p>@cherym: i put down how the drinks were altered
@texas: I got -2/3 as well (the two points were (-3, 6) and (6, 0), and the slope is (0-6)/(6- (-3)) = -2/3)</p>
