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

Anyway, if you write 2 decent examples, fill out both pages, don’t have alot of fancy vocab but grammar is fine and your introduction is fairly decent, can you harbor hopes for a 12?

If i got about -5 Cr, -1 Math ,-3 writing and maybe a 9 or 10 essay, what score would i probably get? @MarcoReus

I did two examples and filled the whole first page and half the second and i was pretty clear. I hope for atleast a 10

I was aiming for a 2300+ but this was a little rough so I might not get what I want

@ASAP123, Most likely 750+ CR, 780 Maths. Can’t say about Writing, I found it easy to the point I just kept hitting the errors and now don’t even remember a sentence. (Apart from IP where I spent some time). But my friends found it tough though they are as good as me in writing . Now I am in self-doubt as to whether it was that easy and if bottled it. :smiley:

BTW, what was the answer to that last para of the magazine guy? It was about illustration, reiteration etc.

Ugh Im really scared i was really shooting for a 2300+ ! Are you a junior?

Oh it was reiteration

I’ll be applying to unis in November. So there’s an October attempt after this for me.

I was also aiming for a 2300, but I messed up Maths. one, possibly 2 mistakes, I am hoping it’s in experimental.

Are you sure about that? Someone states otherwise. This was that character guy.

Apparently, digression was a choice as well. But I am adamant it was reiteration.

Yup the character guy is reiteration. I found the passage on the internet and went through it again. It is reiteration

What unis are you looking at?

I noticed a couple of people on this forum were asking about scores and curves, so here is a fantastic tool for estimating scores. It takes all of the past curves to come up with the probability of different scores. (EDIT) I guess I can’t post links or something, so just search “SAT Score Calculator,” and click the College Panda website.

Im applying in November too!

@ASAP123, Haven’t looked at it yet. I have no idea how you guys search for unis. There’s the ranked ones, but even if you find a uni, I have no idea how you break it down.

I am going start searching once my SAT score is out, and go according to that.

BTW, can you link me to the passage?

By break it down, I mean find out which one is better in terms of studying etc.

Going to be a loooong summer.

@MarcoReus Sure. Btw, I found a lot of the passages, actually most of it. I cant link you to all of them if you want

First page

So what’s the answer for one of the improving paragraph questions; where did you move the sentence to…before sentence 5, 10, 14…

Before sentence 5 was the answer to that one… By the way, was that question from section 3 or 7?
