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

@gustachurro‌ I didn’t even know that an experimental section exists until today, though, so I’m not sure how it works

Was coolness an actual word?

It sucks we cant have something to organize all this material, but I guess it makes sense that we are not allowed to :frowning:

SAT never puts on a word that is not a actual word, so if you see sth on writing section that doesnt seem like a real word, just assume it is

I believe coolness is a word, diction errors on the SAT occur b/n closely related terms, like principle and principal or omitted and emitted.

No I meant is it slang? Like sometimes they put could of insteave of could have. @prospect123

Ahh okay thanks! @Mango920452‌

Wait did anyone else have the math section that kept asking about what this part of the equation is (one of them was what does 7.5 stand for and the other was t [variable])? I think that was my experimental

There was a question in section 10 that is about He had a greater influence on XX is greater … other poets.

  4. those of
  5. did
    what did you guys put?

I’m canceling my scores I missed 3 in math and omitted 1
Missed the rings the trapezoid and the length of CD if it wasn’t 1? Except I think it was one…

@Cram2Study‌ that was not experimental

I had experimental reading—did anyone who didnt have experimental reading get the one about the girl who wanted to live with her dad by the river instead of going to the private school

@nangkhieu‌ The one about European art, it is D but i believe it was that of no those of

@nangkhieu‌ I put E for that one, but looking back, it doesn’t seem like the write answer.

@APScholar18‌ I would reconsider doing that, unless you have already taken the SAT several times. 4 wrong will still keep you in the top percentile, I think.

i think option 5 was actually “than did” which is what I put. I can’t remember the whole sentence though
.

Did anyone who had four math sections have two back-to-back? Like sections 5 and 6 maybe?

@ENoError‌ If that was the choice, then I chose E as well

@didierdrogba‌ Were you on the PSAT thread as well?

Anyone else who has an opinion on the purpose of the lines about the parasites/maple tree, rabbits/Australia, and 2 centuries/nature will have stabilized, please post what you said!!! This was the question regarding the Mars terraforming. Right now it looks like a split between “clarifying an earlier ambiguity” or “supporting a previous statement,” with considering saying “worst-case scenario.” Personally I went with “clarifying an earlier ambiguity” because the author was ambiguous as to whether he was referring to the short-term and long-term, and used the discussion to specify that he was talking about nature in the long-term.

@mango920452 I have taken the SAT once before but I don’t think my score improved today by much and possibly went down. The main issue is that my school puts scores on transcripts so I can’t hide it if it drops.

@didierdrogba‌ i had four math, section 8 and 9 back to back.
