Official October 2011 SAT

<p>I found it easier than the previous ones I took. The essay prompt was easy too. </p>

<p>What did you think about it?</p>

<p>yea, it was easier than the practice tests I took, but still did poorly since I sucked at my actual practice tests. Essay prompt was easy, but I used horrendous examples and ran out of time.</p>

<p>What was the essay prompts?</p>

<p>how much is a 10 essay -1 writing and -7 reading?</p>

<p>math wasn’t that hard, but I thought that the critical reading/vocab was very difficult (and that’s the section that I normally do very well on, while math is usually my weakest section, so I’m not sure what happened there). I honestly have absolutely no idea how I did…it’s three weeks until we get scores, right?</p>

<p>felt that vocab was hard.
math i got one wrong the one with the 2 circles
essay prompt - does discipline achieve freedom</p>

<p>I took the SAT previously with no preparations and this time took a week-long “boot camp” to up my math score… ended up feeling even less confident after the math sections than I did the first time. I feel like I missed around 40% of the questions, had to leave quite a few blank (some not even only on the last page). Kids I talked to during break felt the same way about math. I’m still shaking from being so disappointed in myself!</p>

<p>Definitely agree about the easy essay though. I wonder how many allusions to Brave New World the essay scorers will be able to read through before they start pulling their hair out…?</p>

<p>Don’t want to jinx anything, but it was quite a bit easier than expected! Writing was a breeze, a few of the CR questions were tricky but passages overall were not too bad, and math was definitely manageable, but might have made a few silly mistakes :confused: Muchhhh easier than the tests at Elite (the SAT prep course I took).</p>

<p>Also @ j0hn3ny or anyone else who knows, was the answer to the one with the 2 circles 96pi? Or did I do that completely wrong…</p>

<p>Woah and my essay prompt was “Do mistakes lead to progress?”…were there several different essay prompts given out?</p>

<p>and @ rainbowtime a 10 essay and -1 writing is probably 780 to possibly an 800 (if you get reallyyyy lucky and they decide to curve it super nicely haha) and -7 CR is probably a 690-700.</p>
