October 2012 SAT Discussion

<p>If I only filled up 80% of the two pages on the essay with the examples of Frankenstein and Animal Farm (prompt was “do high achieving people benefit society”), does that affect my chances of getting above 10?</p>

<p>Are the experimental sections the same for section to section?
Like me and my brother took the SAT and we both had experimental math. We had a couple of the same questions, and a couple not the same in the experimental section.
Is this normal?</p>

<p>Hey, I put 8:4 on the trail. Did they seriously put 2:1 as another option, or are you guys just reducing it for when you post. Because they are the same thing, and I put 8:4.</p>

<p>Was the math section with a inscribed square in a circle experimental?</p>

<p>@theroyal I don’t remember any inscribed squares and I only had 3 sections so I’d have to say yes</p>

<p>Same here. Never remember having that. </p>

<p>Reposting this…

<p>@blankk No, no! It’s not you lol It was directed at hockeyshark (or something along those lines) He was yelling at another person Post #715</p>

<p>The answer choice you are thinking of was 8:3 - there was no choice of 8:4</p>

<p>Oh. well I got 8:3, was that wrong?</p>

<p>Oooohhh okay awesome haha.</p>

<p>@Gnuoy
I don’t remember 8:4 as an answer. 2:1 was right though… DO you think that’s what you chose?</p>

<p>I don’t remember reading that their was a thing and a marker at the beginning, just that there was one of the every 2.5 mile things at the beginning, giving 8, and one of the others every six miles, so you could only have three</p>

<p>Both had ones at the start IIRC, and I’m fairly certain. so it was 8 and then 4.</p>

<p>For the apes passage where it said based on lines 84-90 what would the author of passage two say about the author of passage one - was it something with preconceived notions? And what was the difference in evidence between passage 2 from passage one - was it behavioral/observation evidence?</p>

<p>you put 8:3 which is wrong, it is 8:4 which is reduced to 2:1</p>

<p>I thought it was every 6 including the beginning, so it was 4 markers?</p>

<p>I thought it was every 2.5 miles and one at the beginning, and rest stops (or w/e) every six miles</p>

<p>The question stated that both rest stops and markers had one at the beginning of the trail. The ratio is 8:4 reduced to 2:1</p>

<p>^I agree. There was both a rest stop and a marker at the beginning.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the energy expended writing question and was that experimental?</p>

<p>@ShootmeDown </p>

<p>Does anyone remember word for word what exactly the question was?</p>
