***Official January 2015 SAT (US ONLY) THREAD***

what was the answers for short passage “superorganism”? about ant and stuff first one was “invite” most nearly means and second one was the purpose of passage, which i put application of scientific field or sth

@glasshours Oh with the intersecting circles? I think I got 1 for that.

So for the essay, I essentially wrote about how it’s BETTER to emphasize strengths and minimize vulnerability, but only mentioned how it takes more courage to do so in 3-4 sentences. Do you think I’ll get a 0 for writing an off-topic essay?

@Mango920452‌ yup got 11.

@TheDesiBoy‌ - How did you get 1?

i put application of scientific field but I was debating over that vs. challenging the value of a biological model.

what about the short passage right after that (about the beads) what was the primary purpose?

i got 8999 for last grid in /there were 9999 total including 2 to 10000 and i subtracted 1000 from that
i dont know… i got blue for the ring quesiton… i just screwed up omg

9998 numbers between 2 and 10000. Divide that by half, 4999 of those numbers are even integers. But wait, you also have to include 2, so the set is comprised of 5000 numbers.

You need to figure out how many of those numbers are also multiples of 5. Since the set only has even integers, you only need to figure out how many multiples of 10 are within it. The range is from 2 to 10000 so there are 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 numbers that are multiples of 10.

Subtract 1000 from 5000, you get 4000.

@glasshours Honestly, it’s almost impossible a get a 0 on the essay, unless you write in Spanish or something. Be optimistic, you probably did fine!

did anyone say manifest for any of the questions?

also, for the essay, IS showing 3 examples of how courage/strength yielded success considered “on-topic” and then in the conclusion saying that they couldnt have succeeded if they were vulnerably.

Application of a scientific term, I think I put something along the lines of “description of stamps” for the next passage?

me too adding two previous.

How was it application of a science term? @glasshours‌ why would the re-evaluation one be wrong?

@jamanda‌ i put ~ particular object for primary purpose

what were your overall impressions of today’s SAT?

cr: hard
math: easy, but math was never a worry for me
writing: average, there were a couple that tripped me up

what was the answer for 1 1 2 3 5 8 13… i hope this section was my experimental math

@glasshours‌ Was exploring a new field of study an option for the application of a scientific term?

desi the intersecting circle wasn’t one. That’s assuming the circles only intersect a certain amount, but you could easily move them closer to each other so CD is greater

@College123college‌ - Ahh I did something similar, I mainly talked about how strength yields more success and mentioned courage only a little…

@Mango920452‌ - Thanks for the consolation! :slight_smile: Hopefully I’ll be okay but as;ldfja the feeling right after taking the SAT is never pleasant.

What did you guys say was the water color, the obsidian or the moss?
