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

First time taking the SAT hopefully I can pull off a good enough score to get into Pnn State next year. It might be a low goal around here but 1700+ will make me happy

I’ll be happy if I can even get into the Duke Tip summer program:) 7th grade is easier to get in…but sigh I missed my chance. Good luck everyone~ Just brush up your skills today, relax, eat some chocolate, and conquer the SAT like a true champion tomorrow! :slight_smile: :smiley:

Can I bring a drawstring bag tomorrow? I read backpacks are allowed on the college board website.

@jdschooled5‌
Yes

For anyone taking the test on the east coast, do you think that it could possibly be delayed due to the snow?

hope the essay prompt isn’t trashy…

do you guys know if we’re allowed to use mechanical pencils for the essay? I write much neater and clearer with mechanical pencils.

Mine has been postponed (Boston)

what are you guys doin the day before the test?

Im not sure; Id use just a bunch of sharp no. 1 pencils to be safe.

Ohh man, a few months of preparation all leading to this…

ya because the mechanical pencils are usually #2 so i believe they are alllowed

Ready for a 2400 tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

<p>Well, looks like I’m retaking this test… Hopefully this will be my last time.
Feel free to ask questions on this thread. :slight_smile: Good luck! </p>

@skieurope Just curious, what is it that people try to get on Google Docs or such that relates to the SAT?

@albert69 They are comparing answers trying to ascertain if theirs were correct, which is fine. However, when the question and answers get quoted verbatim, that becomes a copyright violation.

@Tennistiger‌ mechanical pencils are NOT allowed on either the MC or the essay portion of the test. Must be a regular number 2 pencil

What are you guys getting on the BB practice tests?

@Tennistiger‌ I feel that you can get away with mechanical pencils on the essay, its not being graded by a computer.

So on the essay I’ve heard people saying that you should make up fake examples. Can these be absolutely fabricated or do they need to be somewhat true, like based on a real event/book but kind of bending the truth?
