***Official February 2015 SAT Makeup (US ONLY) THREAD***

For the one writing question involving what to do with the sentence about new and used cars, what did you guys put

So the answer to the one math questions was 100pi? I changed my answer last min to that lol.

@Nutmeg I put the one with “buying used cars and buying new cars” or something among those lines

What were your guys’ essay examples? I used Watergate, Geocentric model, and Anthem.

one was 100pi and a different question (the fibonacci one) was 10pi

@Nutmmeg‌ I put “buying used cars and buying new cars” but I think the correct answer is to delete it


@Nutmmeg‌ I chose to delete it from the passage because it made no logical sense where it was in the passage

Have any of you used Direct Hits? Any thoughts on it?

can someone predict my score approximately?

probably 4-5 wrong on the math
3-4 on writing
2-3 on critical reading

I thought vocab for CR was tough but I think 3-4 wrong in WR. Dam no errors, switched my answers last minute to wrong ones.

@SimpleBio‌ not saying I recommend this but I didnt study vocab at all, i didnt see the point. so many words I would have to study and still the chances of seeing any of them on the test are probably pretty slim

my vocal is probably somewhat decent from reading and listening to music though

@solaireofastora I would say ~710 on math and 780 or 90 on CR

Solaire any tips on improving CR?

@solaireofastora‌ What score are you going for

I didnt really study vocab either and I think I got 2 SC wrong on the whole thing

@nutmmeg was that for me?

@SimpleBio‌ not really, Im an awful procrastinator so I did in total about 20 practice problems for CR, so I didnt really study

I just read a lot when I was a kid and I think that might have helped me

also maybe I have one tip that I use, when they ask you a specific line question, don’t take into account info from elsewhere in the passage besides the lines they cite and the few sentences before and after those

Im worried about my little brother lol, he doesnt read at all and I think it could really hurt his future, hopefully my mom can get him to read more somehow

@TheSATsSuck‌ at least 2000 hopefully

@solaireofastora yes, but It’s hard to estimate the writing score without the essay

@Nutmmeg‌ well idk about the rubric for the essay, but I think my examples were good and varied and I explained the first very thoroughly. Also I wrote a lot, took up both pages entirely and I hear they like that
