October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>Do we know which CRs were real?</p>

<p>1) Greek language
2) Monkey crap
3) Daughter named Yo
4) Dinosaurs
5) Persia/Waitress
6) Conformity</p>

<p>----3 Questions-----</p>

<p>CR: was the undersea creature one “defy” and “disparity” OR “elucidate” and “discrepancy”</p>

<p>CR: in the ape passage, did Passage 1’s last paragraph :
A) acknowledge that a position might seem unreasonable
B) concede that an opposing argument is convincing</p>

<p>W: “than that expended traveling” or “that that of traveling” when referencing the rocket going from Earth to the Moon</p>

<p>No Divy, because the question explicitly said “exactly two days.” The person who missed three was not accounted for in the count of those who mised two.</p>

<p>@coconutkk: Of those I had 1, 2, 3, and 4 (pretty sure I had the math experimental). I guess the Persia and Waitress ones weren’t real</p>

<p>How did you guys think you did on the essay? I thought it was the easiest SAT essay that I’ve ever seen!</p>

<p>I still think that due to the ambiguity of the wording it could very well be 1620.</p>

<p>@tonypezz the Sputhnik writing was experimental</p>

<p>For CR I put A) acknowledge that a position might seem unreasonable but def did not remember reading B lol so I’m not sure if I’m correct</p>

<p>I had four reading sections, but I don’t remember any sections about Persia and the waitress. I had two sections with 23 questions, if that helps. I had one section with 25, and another with 19.</p>

<p>Oh okay. Well hopefully I get a 700+…</p>

<p>There’s nothing ambiguous about that. I remember having the same question that you did (whether the three-day person was accounted for) and rereading it. AFAIK you’re the only person who’s gotten 1620 so far.</p>

<p>It said AT LEAST ONE DAY</p>

<p>I know that one of the two reading sections with 23 questions must be experimental; they were consecutive sections, too. Did anyone else encounter two consecutive 23 answer questions. If so, which was experimental?</p>

<p>I think I did good on the essay! I was actually able to apply one of my literary examples, but then I used kind of a ‘personal’ one. It wasn’t quite as developed as the first example, but it made some good points. I liked the final result of this essay more than the one I wrote on the last SAT I took where I got a 9, but watch the essay graders give me like a 7 or something. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Persia and waitress was experimental reading one, I didn’t have that</p>

<p>AFAIK? I see what you’re saying. Hopefully I can get the 700+ what do you think a 50 raw score is?
And the writing was easy my essay was:
Caesars De Bello Gallico
US in WWII (no help until late)
US in Iraq (help)</p>

<p>^Actually it said never lol.</p>

<p>Lol not Persia like the place; it was a short article about a waitress named Persia and it was weird. </p>

<p>Thanks guys!</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one in scientific notation where you had to add the two exponents? Was it 6?</p>

<p>And 6.5 is a possible answer for the inequality one that was the first grid-in, right?</p>

<p>@ tonypezz I NEED the answer to that grammar question. lol I spent like 5 minutes on it. I put “that of traveling in opposite directions”… the other one sounded wrong, but I’m still not sure.</p>

<p>Can someone who didn’t have math experimental confirm whether or not one of the longer math sections was real- </p>

<p>It had the points ABC on a timeline/x+y question, the triangle inside the circle question, and, I think the whale pictochart.</p>

<p>catchtwentythree, that one was not experimental, I had it and I know that writing was my experimental one.</p>
