***October 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

@RealMadrid07 Yeah 9 isn’t even, so you can’t use 54 as an example because 54 is six times an odd integer

Any more opinions about finding the origin vs offering a rationale?

Lets see I’m going to make predictions

Math: I’m going to guess I got 3 wrong. (720-730)
Critical Reading:I’m going to guess I got 15-16 wrong (610-620)
Writing:I’m going to guess I got 5-6 wrong with a 10 on the essay (690-700)

So I’m looking at a score around 2020-2050 I think.

Isn’t the answer 16?
(even #) times 6 divided by 8.
plug in.
8 times 16 is 128, then divide by 6, which is 21.3333 <— not even number.
**What was the full question?

This was likely one of the easier grammar questions but I just blanked: [country x] has more coastlines (than) America.
What answer was it for (than)? And was this an experimental section?

@ambitionsquared I said offering a rationale for a given method or whatever it was. The paragraph wasn’t the origin or history of Zen practices. It was describing how the breakdown of someone intellectually can lead to a revelation, and then the following paragraph compared how it actually played out in western civilization.

was it just me, or was the entire test so easy?

@ambitionsquared I don’t remember answering that grammar question but I could be blanking as well.

Did anyone have an experimental math grid-in section? Which one was it? Was it the one where the last question was about 3g(x)=f(3x)?

@fhgirl16 That question doesn’t sound familiar at all so that was likely the experimental section.

What about the grid in one where it said square root of y-3 = the square root of x-2 + x? Was it 7?

for zen do u guys remember the “total despair” question? like what was the significance of it or what it meant. i said it was a prelude to a breakthrough

@fhgirl16 I think I had that question but I don’t believe it was an experimental section. If it was the one with a graph of two lines that said something along the lines of what does g(x)=f(3) it was 1.5

@y0l0lsen I put prelude to breakthrough as well

@realmadrid7 I put 7 as well. However, for a second I thought that it could be 3. The question didn’t ask for the equation to be satisfied it just said what’s the lowest possible value. I thought I was over analyzing so I just went with 7

I got 1.5 on that one too @BornPrep

Anyone need help about math answer?

I say origins. I cannot remember my rationale (HA), but I remember rationale did not really make any sense.

@BornPrep no I had that question too, but it was in a different section. This question didn’t even have a graph, it just gave you the equation. I am pretty positive it was experimental though, because none of my friends remember the question and I had two grid-in sections. Crossing my fingers because I completely bombed that section…
