***Official 2015 June SAT (US Only) THREAD***

like the angelica person has 12 oppurtunities, then switchc angelica with the other guy

Did anyone get no A’s in the first part of the first writing section? that made me nervous

@mathislife minimum

Did anyone get tripped up by that one writing question where it was like,

Having spent months preparing for the run, increasing [something], the marathon was easy for [some girl].

I was really confused because that seemed like the correct answer BUT then “having spent months” would be describing the “marathon” which didn’t make sense. I settled on “with months having been spent preparing for the run” or something like that but I now realize that was very clunky/awkward

@2400ismygoal1
Thy just needed to be in adjacent compartments.

@mathislife its minimum was 5

@MusicManatee yes, keep it as is. lol i learned a lot about baby carrots today.

@MusicManatee that’s what I got

@mathislife what do you think you got wrong and why?!

@yousefk, yup i put "Becayse… "

for the dog breeds question was the answer “among them are” cuz you need objective pronounnns?

also for the cities question (where they made 40 story buildings to conserve space) was the answer something like “and require…”

@16elir Phew! Also for the baby carrot one (LOL) did you say they weren’t selling in grocery stores or something? I put that b/c the next sentence said they weren’t ‘marketable’.

@AsianBoyGenius

I put “among which are” because “among them are” didn’t seem like a full sentence to me but Im stupid so who knows

I was stuck between “Having spent” and “Because she spent”. i put the former because wouldn’t the latter produce a dangling modifier?

@yousefk - I chose the answer with “she” in it. “Because she prepared” sounds familiar.

@Q7heng @Chrysanthemum14 Yeah I don’t think that’s possible. My statistics teacher told us this year there has never been more than 3 of the same letter in a row on the SAT

@yousefk the answer was the one with the verb and subject it was like: after she had prepared for several momths. You need his because all the other ones would be describing the immediate subject in the second part

I put “among these are”.

@Chrysanthemum14 - Why did you pick that? Wouldn’t that create a run-on sentence? (I chose among which are or something)

@yousefk I said no error at first but then I changed it to “be she spent months preparing.” my logic for this was that “having spent months” had an ambiguous pronoun… like did it refer to her or the race? but there was no ambiguity with “she spent months perparing”

It’s definitely ‘among which are’
