*OFFICIAL* January 28, 2006 SAT Thread

<p>I'm starting to think I didn't do so well on Georgia..</p>

<p>@seth blue</p>

<p>caustic is a syn. for trenchant</p>

<p>so was that story supposed to be "culturally" determined q#1?</p>

<p>caustic-- the way I learned it-- meant acidic, burning (when observing the greek/latin base it has which. My college prep class taught me all that vocab crap)</p>

<p>Wildsky, I don't think that was the way my test went.</p>

<p>Are other tests differently structured? Or is everyone's test the same?</p>

<p>@goldfish: i put culturally determined. but i'm not sure =S</p>

<p>@golfish</p>

<p>yes.</p>

<p>but the reading passages rocked... one was sexist (the woman journalist) and the other one was about this woman owning this beaver...and then getting owned (in the future) by a bear</p>

<p>seth, are you saying you think Sect 2 math was experimental (did you get Sect 1 Essay, Sec 2 Math, Sec 3 Math, Sec 4 CR, Sec 5 Writing) ??</p>

<p>Yeah, I know. It means cuttingly critical, at least, that's how I learned it, but was it an answer choice?</p>

<p>well, the bear thing was implied :)</p>

<p>@seth blue</p>

<p>caustic was not an answer choice but trenchant was</p>

<p>Yes, I got 2 maths and 2 CR sections oin a row.</p>

<p>Trechant: it was for the one about the hip-hop msuic one, right?</p>

<p>So did I seth, I think.</p>

<p>its funny how every time my math score goes down</p>

<p>1st time summer of sophomore year (missed 1- 780)
2nd time junior year (missed 3- 760)
3rd time summer of junior yr (missed 4- 700)
4th time today (miss 10000000000000000000)</p>

<p>It doesn't matter, becuase they only take your hgihest score.</p>

<p>Ooo..I'm getting nervous. Can someone answer my question? :/</p>

<p>Is it normal for people to have differently structured tests? Because I no for a fact that I didn't have 2 maths in a row?</p>

<p>"then getting owned (in the future) by a bear"</p>

<p>well she owned the bear first :)</p>

<p>also wasn't one of the answers that the woman didn't plan ahead or something..</p>

<p>Yes it was normal, because if you looked around or listened to the proctor-- other people were doing math while you were doing CR.</p>

<p>I don't believe that section 2 was experimental. It had the grid-ins on mine (compensation, the probability one) as well as the hotel problem which I have had on a previous test.</p>

<p>@ sourapplezz: yes. everyone gets a differently structured test. i think it's a safety precaution of a sort.</p>
