***November US Sat 2013 Discussion (Reading experimental)

<p>What did you guys think of the sat? I thought math and writing were decent, but the reading was pretty hard. However the vocab was pretty fair in my opinion. The essay prompt had to do with material possessions. I'm a little skeptical about writing because I got 5 C's in a row.</p>

<p>Reading in my opinion was VERY difficult. And I got an 800 in October, although I’m positive I didn’t get an 800 this time. Math was fairly easy. The essay prompt wasn’t horrible but it didn’t go along with the examples I wanted to use so I don’t think I did too well on the essay. I had writing experimental, and one section was very hard while the other was very easy. Which writing section did you have? One had the improving paragraphs about food coloring and the other was about Neolithic period or something.</p>

<p>did not have the food coloring or neolithic period on my writing section. Was the essay prompt the same? Do you recall a reading passage on blockbusters?</p>

<p>Yeah I had the blockbuster passage. My essay prompt was about material possessions</p>

<p>do you recall a math question about two tangent lines on a circle intersection and you had to find the angle they made?</p>

<p>And the food coloring one was about how people say food looks good but that doesn’t really mean anything because it is colored to make it look like its supposed to look. Neolithic one was about how archeologists are discovering things about observatories in Europe in the Neolithic period.</p>

<p>Yeah I had that math question. I believe I put 125</p>

<p>I put that down too but I had no idea why it was that</p>

<p>The lines were tangent so there were two 90 degree angles, and they told us that the one angle was 55. Subtract those 3 from 360 (number of degrees in a 4 sided figure) and you get 125.</p>

<p>someone please reassure me that the circle tangent line angle thing was a student produced response and not one of the bubble questions.</p>

<p>For a reading section, was the refrigerator “an illustrative example that supports the claim” or “a logical…for a theorized point”</p>

<p>I put an illustrative example</p>
