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

Hey, let’s discuss everything - doubts and beliefs- about the test somewhere else…like google hangout. I’m from Asia and me test was quiet easy. What confuses me is that I got manny no errors in sentence error identification. Let me know soon through messaging i guess.

@iloveunc
That one was that you had to do 288/1000 as a/b and make it so its 72/250 so a would be 72 and b would be 250, which fits in the b’s values i got that one wrong too, now guess I’ll have to take another one to get the 800 :stuck_out_tongue:

I posted my reply too late so I don’t think anyone saw it - could someone do a score prediction for me?
I believe it should be on page 74
:stuck_out_tongue:

Hello, I took the SAT (the full 4 hour exam) today, but I’m a bit worried because I made a mistake at the beginning of the test when I was bubbling in the test booklet iD # into my answer sheet. I remember that I needed to enter the bar code number of the test, the test booklet ID #, and such into my answer sheet, but I think I may have bubbled exactly one digit of one of the test booklet ID numbers wrong. Would this affect my scores somehow? If so, would the CollegeBoard be able to fix it?

@questionasker123

You’re score may be delayed, however unless you managed to print the wrong bar code, the wrong serial number, the wrong form code, the wrong test form and printed your name incorrectly I think you should receive your score.

@lamebridge 670 math, 750 critical reading, 800 writing, 2220 composite

B toward the ends? I remember #28 was an idiom question. (prevent — from) And i believe that was choice D.
@Hermit9

@swift99swift Wait, did those numbers have to be integers (a and b)? I said let b = 100 and a would be 28.8. I didn’t remember a and b being restricted to integers

Was I the only one who had a really peculiar dual passage text about how bad Abraham Lincoln was by Booker T. Washington and W. E. B. DuBois?

So for CR I may have gotten the “relative unimportance of details” vs. weary of being a teacher question wrong, and the “provide rational for a practice” vs. “trace origins of a philosophy” question wrong, as, in both cases, I chose the former answer. Any consensus on these two questions?

i put relative unimportance and rational

Hey guys I am bummed cause I bombed math but I think I did decent on CR and W. Can someone give me a score prediction?

M- 4 Wrong, Omit 2

CR- 3 Wrong, Omit 2

W- 3 Wrong, 10 essay

Thank you for you response, but have you had prior experience with such a problem?

CR 760 M 680 W 760 2200 Total @cjp123

For the question asking for a if a/b is 0.288 and 0<b<500, did a and b have to be integers?

Deco art design is characterized by x and y styles, WHICH CONTRAST/S with the curvy and b style of this other design.
Does anyone remember this one? Was it no error? I still don’t understand this one. Is it contrast or contrasts? Is it contrast because of the plural styles before the comma?

@DRON3D I put no error for this one but there was lots of discussion if the error was sinuous

I put no error. I thought about putting D since it was borderline parallel (characterized by vs. used in) but chose not to.

When you post questions and answers on here, can’t you get your scores invalidated? I mean, I have questions too, but isn’t this like the one thing that you’re not allowed to do?

was there an idiom question on #28.
“preventing from”?
