What was the math question with the circle inscribed in square… Or square inscribed in circle. I think I read it wrong xD
Does anyone remember the 2003 2005 math questions… Had a graph. What was the question and answer
(I’m trying to remember what I put)
Anyone know what the experiment section was for math?
The whole issue is basically one ginormous ripple effect across the nation:
Proofreaders miss the mistake.
Printers don’t see it.
Proctors are nonplussed and add the extra 5 minutes, or follow their instructions and only allow 20 minutes.
Students fill out the answer sheet, -5/+5 minutes affecting their scores.
(ie: having time to go back and fix mistakes, fill in more answers; or completely the opposite.)
It’s not us (the students) who are at fault. It’s CB’s mistake, which caused a mistake on the part of the proctors, which in turn causes the test to become faulty because it is no longer standardized.
Does anyone remember what they put for the writing question with the sand and gravel in fronts of its tires for the car? Was there an error in this sentence?
I marked it as A, because when I took away the first word in the sentence (1/2 of the underlined section) it made more sense - otherwise I was going to mark “its”.
I feel like I did really well on this test… I would be crushed if scores were cancelled. I think that the best course of action would be for CB to obtain the logged times from schools and have the students that got more than 20 minutes (which I think are the minority) retake just those two sections (idk how they would be equally difficult though). That still sounds like a logistical nightmare, but it’s a nightmare that CB has brought on itself.
@juniorneedshelp I circled “by pouring” as the error. I thought it should it should have just been “pouring”. Not sure though.
@16elir No. That is not fair to me. I did not ask for those extra 5 minutes. We were all arguing with the proctor that it was suppose to be 20 minutes, but she said we all at least had to sit through the 5 minute wait even if we did nothing… I, however, rushed to try to get problems I skipped in section 8. It messed me up. It is not fair. There should be a SMALLLLLL curve, in my opinion, just for the section.
@juniorneedshelp that one sounded wrong to me. I picked (A) “by something (dont remember)” because otherwise it sounded like the car was the one spreading the salt and stuff.
The misprint was such a disaster. My entire class was distracted as the proctors went from room to room speaking with each other and looking at all of our test books.
How is by pouring wrong? What was the exact sentence??? Shouldn’t it have been “its”?
Ugh who remembers the graph with 2003 and 2005 I can’t remember the exact question / what I put and it’s killing me pls help :,(
@aznboi4981 I wonder if they have some sort of formula they can use to predict what the people who got 25 minutes SHOULD have gotten on Section 8 (based on their answers in the other writing section). And then maybe the curve could be based on that? idk tho… the whole situation is a mess
I put its as well, but I think it was worded so that it sounded like the car was pouring the gravel and sand.
My proctor seemed to be familiar with the SAT so she never brought up the misprint and still gave us 20 minutes. When she started the clock the first thing I saw was that it said 25 minutes and I was super confused. I even had to secretly look back in my test booklet to make sure I was taking the wrong section or had skipped a section accidentally. It wasn’t until a minute later that I asked my proctor that my time says 25 minutes. She told me not to worry about it and that it was a misprint. Luckily, I still finished with 2 minutes to spare.
If you say “by pouring,” the sentence becomes a sentence fragment. Thus, the answer is “pouring.”
Anybody know if there’s an OP way to find out scores early…?..that is, if collegeboard doesn’t tick off thousands upon thousands of test-takers.
Wait…can math MCs also be math grid-ins? Someone on reddit had the | h(x) | question but as a grid-in instead…
What was the sentence???
Before it did anyone mark implied as wrong?
@Newdle not a chance. I would be surprised if we get our scores within the month, if it all (fingers crossed) [-O<
