***OFFICIAL MAY 2015 SAT THREAD (US ONLY)***

was the reading passage about the young black political speaker experimental?

The writing that had “tin tin” in one of its identifying errors was experimental.

oh wait the video one i think was real I’m starting to remember it

@avgteenguy it corroborate one was not exp. i had exp act and i also had corroborate one

no young black was not experimental

what was the video paired with? Was it just one passage other than the vocab?

the video one - was it they used a citation? the first one chooses a side - second one questions about why there even is a arugemnt? what was the question about the person who started the argument was it fruitful, productive, extensive or idk? there was another question i forgot…

@vmiller7723 I had the same answer- passage 2 questions the premise of the argument.

what was the answer to the triangle question that had little traingles inside of it

@daw3iy damn. I thought that was the hardest passage

The bridge one? Wasn’t it like 1000?

the video one it was the guy in life 15 thinks that the least thing is …

Also, I think I only got a few wrong on CR, but I think I got the one about what the author takes for granted wrong. What was the answer?

For the triangle q I put 8, but I’m sure it was 16 (sigh bye bye 800 :frowning: ). Basically, it’s obvious that’s its a half equilateteral triangle, if you do some angle chasing, or you can just guess given the shape and the fact that the area has a factor or root3.

Let the base of the small t = x, then the area = x^2 * root3 / 2 = 8 * root 3, which solves to give that x = 4. The hypotenuse of the small t is twice as big as its base, so that’s 8, and the hypotenuse is half the length of the big triangle, which is 16.

Did anyone else think that one of the math sections was excessively hard? I think i had to skip like 4 of the last 5 questions because I didn’t have time to finish it.

does anyone remember the foam questions - was it he wishes it was more historrically used? suprised by its texture - what was the short passage next to it?
for the DNA it was like passage 1 author and passage 2 in these lines both - is concede their point or something
and was the answer to abusing the DNA - person not getting hired bc of disease? was his argumnt a minor exception or a strong opposition? was the author think of it as "unexpected’ for officerr not to do it.

for the writing, did anyone else get 2 DELETE from passage???

I had two long writing sections (sections 3 and 7)…which was the experimental??

I got the “company not hiring someone who has genetic anger issues”?
And minor exception

There was a math question about posts and boards for a fence where the total cost was $208. Was the answer 26?
