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

Wow I can’t believe I didn’t read the question correctly. And even if they were asking the whole amount of time I would’ve been wrong then. Thanks for the detailed answer i might have to cancel my scores now :frowning: :((

Some of you people… I swear lol. Cancelling scores because you missed one question on a section. If I break 2000 on this SAT I will be ecstatic.

I think I had 80 degrees then. I probably just thought 55 was given because the first mention of the question on here said 55.
70 degrees wasn’t a choice right?

@RHSclassof16 you are correct it was 80

@ekl2498 I don’t remember to be honest. I know I got 80 and I remember being pretty confident about that question.

So my new score prediction

Critical Reading: 15 wrong, 0 omit. (620)
Math: 1 wrong, 0 omit. (770)
Writing: 5 wrong, 0 omit, 10 essay. (700)
Total:2090

@tomatoes124 The quoted lines they gave you state that the students sentences were AWKWARD and did not flow.
Thus, inelegant would work in this instance because inelegant means lacking grace which basically means awkward

what was the answer to the question about what awkward meant in Zen passage? inelegant?

@awesomesaucee Thanks!

What did you all get as the experimental section? I believe mine was a super awkward math section.

also, what did we decide for the vocab question about volcanoes? I put parameters because it was talking about formation. at first i put ramifications but it isn’t talking about consequences, so i changed it to parameters? what is the consensus on that one?

@XoXdreamerXoX mine was an experimental CR with graphs about viruses and vaccine efficiency in mice

Shout outs to those people bringing up wrong answer choices, scaring me out.

@mnallamalli97 Consensus is that the answer was “Counterparts”

for the sinuous question i don’t think contrast was wrong because it said “of the painting techniques x and x contrast with the curves and something else” so i distinctly remember there were two things on both sides that means it’s plural. I put sinuous since it seemed redundant, but i’ll agree there was just another redundancy problem right before so this prob isn’t the focus, but i got 4 other no errors and a 5th no error seems very unlikely

@mnallamalli97 and I am pretty sure the answer to the Zen question was “Inelegant”

My experimental section was about parasitic birds and a a study done by Fetty at al. or something. It was like a reading section except it had bar graphs and asked which lines from the text would support each answer… It was really hard

Is it emphatic or analyctical for the Internet Passage? I put emphatic; If not, can someone xplain?

did anyone get 3 no errors in a row in the identifying sentence errors section.

@misterstax i think it was analytical, since he was putting more sources out rather than his opinion. if it was his own opinion, i wouldve chosen emphatic
