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

@Chrysanthemum14 I believe my experimental section had a short passage on the social consequences of textile manufacturing, a short passage on invasive species (It was either that or one about tomatoes, I honestly can’t remember because it was only 2 questions), and the third was a really long passage on the purple loosestrife and experiments that proved it was able to adapt to new climates. This one also had a graph that plotted the fruit produced in 3 areas by seedlings that came from the 3 different areas.

I remember choosing an answer about Spanish being lost in translation. Was that probably wrong?

@Q7heng
Yes.

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE MATH EXPERIMENTAL WAS? All i remember is getting this table and graph on wilbur and orville’s flight and there were like 4 questions based off that… not sure if this was experimental though

Do you think that College Board is in crisis mode right now over the 20/25 inconsistency? Or do you think that we are overreacting and making it a bigger deal than it is? Someone on Twitter’s proctor allegedly called Collegeboard and they said to keep going and that they’d alter the scores… idk what that means, but I really do doubt that they would have millions (or however many) of students retake the test… imagine how expensive that would be for them and what bad PR that would be.

Hi guys, sorry if you have already talked about this, but on the Easter island Maoi dual passage, what was the answer to the question that was asking how De Long’s technique solved “Love’s” theory? Do you guys recognize this question?
I put that it allowed them to “roll up/down hillsides” (that’s probably not exact wording)
Thanks

Can we all agree that if CB tries to cancel our scores we will start a petition or something

Got the tomato passage, also the social legacy of textile/weaving in my Experimental section.

was the answer to a easter island one have something got do with “it was implied the statues moved?” the answer choices had a lot to do with the misplacement of the statues. it was an infer question. like, what can be inferred from the the terrain change?

What? Why would they cancel scores??

@Chrysanthemum14 The one about the scent that attracts the bugs or whatever they were? The experiment thing she was trying?

Are you sure there were 3 NE? I had 4 NE and the SAT usually has 4/5…

was there a question about terrain change on the easter island passage? i remember something along the lines of, “it indicates the terrain had changed.” what was the question and answer to that?

College Board still hasn’t made any announcements about what it will do about the misprint? I’m still antsy about that, because even though my proctor stuck to 20 minutes, the test is now “un-standardized.”
Maybe their hoping to downplay it so the media doesn’t go after them, especially after the incident in May where they lost those student’s paperwork. Bad time to work in the proofreading or printing department at CB though.

@aznboi4981
yep

can anyone please tell me if they got a math section that gave a table and a scatterplot graph with wilbur and orvilles distance traveled and the duration? there were like 4 questions based off of that and one of them asked to find the nauticals ( 1 knot = 1 nautical/hour) something like that?? im really curious cause i havent seen anyone post about it and im not sure if its experimental or not… please let me know!: (

Oh I remember that one. I put that it prevented the rollers from being broken, or something like that, since the canoe ladder passage specifically mentioned that the contraption didn’t need rollers, and I remember the rollers would break in Love’s theory. I might be wrong though.

One thing implied by the Easter Island passage was that the stones are not damaged
