November SAT discussions (international)

<p>i think the latter (beachcombing) was the experimental… it was section 7 for me</p>

<p>hmm… @haggahagga, why the “unfortunately?” I thought the first section had less controversial questions than the second.</p>

<p>How do you know the first one was the real :?I also think it was better…</p>

<p>No, beachcombing was the first (section 3 or 4), section 7 was about the birds, at least in my test.</p>

<p>overachiever91: The US SAT from March was the same test:

<p>Can anyone organize a consolidated list of answers? Also, for the innuendo, skepticism question, what was the correct answer?</p>

<p>teh_chou
I think we haven’t had much of new answers since the consolidation on page 14.</p>

<p>Is our curve identical to March 2009 US?</p>

<p>wow has ETS ever given the <em>exact</em> same test at two different times before this one? i know it’s international vs. US, but still… i’m pretty surprised that they did this.</p>

<p>I chose innuendo for that question as it was directly relevant to his hurling personal attacks to whomever, though I can see why some people read it as skepticism (which did seem a bit on the over-analyzing side.)</p>

<p>aSineWave: I think they do it all the time (that’s why they don’t want us to share the questions with others). I took Literature subject test last October that was identical to a test from 2007.</p>

<p>Hey guys,what did u choose for that question ?</p>

<p>Olga sat in the waiting room …
A) hours, her fingers tapping restlessly
B-D were wrong
E) hours with her tapping her fingers restlessly</p>

<p>I think it should be E because in A ,somehow I dont think the ‘’,‘’ correctly separates these sentence</p>

<p>^Well from what you wrote, I would definitely say that the answer is A.</p>

<p>Yes,I know now that I was wrong.Damn it ,when I was doing this kind of questions at home I was so good,I just dont know what happens when doing the real thing… hoping for no more than 4-5 errors and low 700s…</p>

<p>^It happens to everybody. I know what you mean. On my PSAT’s i was taking at home, i was scoring 216-219. On the real thing, im expecting 205-213. It happens. This score is obviously not my true potential and yours wont be either. So don’t fret. Tis what it is!</p>

<p>Maybe the time pressure is an important factor.At home I see the correct answer,mark it ,and go on… On the real test,after I am sure which is the correct one,again,I check each option to make sure…</p>

<p>so wait…was the first writing section experimental or the second one?</p>

<p>It appears to be the second one ;)</p>

<p>Can anyone write for me the SC question with the answer mellifluous (about the singer) and its answer choices? I don’t remember putting something like that.</p>

<p>Hey how much do you think: 1 wrong in Math will get me, 3-4 wrong in CR will get me and about a 9 (essay) with 2-3 wrong in grammar will get me In WR?</p>

<p>Math 780-90
CR 770-80
WR 740-50</p>
