<p>Wasn't the verbal section with the short dual passage experimental. </p>

<p>The korean section was real and so was the hiker section.
2 of the verbal sections had short passages. One of them had a mini dual passage. I'm pretty sure this is experimental. The one with the chimps and the long passage on jewelry is real. I think.</p>

<p>For the chimpanzee one, the first question asked something like what the difference in location caused for the chimpanzees. Did you put lack of communication? I can't remember the exact wording but it basically asked that.</p>

<p>What was the one about studying and passing the test? I put If I don't pass the test then I must not have studied, or something of that nature. What did everyone else put?</p>

<p>I remember that question but I don't think it was lack of communication. I'm nost sure though.</p>

<p>It was like what kinda "barrier" was it? something like that..quite not sure thou xP</p>

<p>I thought it was psychological for "barrier"</p>

<p>for the dual passage about the hikers for the tone question, I put the answer that said the 2nd passage was scholarly because the speaker had experience in the woods or something like that. Was this right?</p>

<p>ok so did EVERY1 have the twinkle twinkle star passage about astronomers section??</p>

<p>also, alex, i'm talking about the mini chimpanzee and something else and jewelry section was that experimental?</p>

<p>so these were the REAL (NON-EXPERIMENTAL) SECTIONS:</p>

<p>MATH (REGULAR, 3RD SUNDAY)
MATH (QC GREEN CAR W/ 2 DOORS & ALLOY METALS)
MATH (15 MIN)</p>

<p>VERBAL (SHORT PASSAGES, CHIMP, JEWELRY)
VERBAL (KOREAN, TWINKLE)
VERBAL (15 MIN)</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure these were the real ones from what everyone has been saying.</p>

<p>the verbal section with short passages about the chimpanzees and a long section on jewelry WAS REAL. it was the first verbal section i took. am I the only idiot who blew it off thinking that it would be the experimental one and realized my mistake when at the end of the test I realized I only had 3 verbals sections and they all counted? maybe if tons of ppl didn't do it or blew it off too they might have a HUGE curve. yeah right, like that's gonna happen. i can hope anyways...</p>

<p>I didn't put that, but I can't remember what I put...</p>

<p>For the rationalizing one, I put he was justifying his reasons for wanting to go on the hike. The def. of rationalizing is "To devise self-satisfying but incorrect reasons for (one's behavior)" which is the same as justifying something.</p>

<p>And for the chimpanzee one, it was because the one group couldn't learn the technical stuff from the other group (or somethin along those lines)</p>

<p>wicked.. do you remember the question?</p>

<p>i think your second one was experimental, because i had 2 qc and i have pretty much the same answers as your first set, but the second one i dont remember any of those , so i think the first one is the one that counted...i hope! bc i didnt get the last one of the 2nd one</p>

<p>AlexMartin - I had narrowed it down to 2 choices that said something like lack of communication and the other they were uninfluenced by eachother. I can't remember what I put, it was one of those though</p>

<p>OH that has helped my memory. I believe that it was uninfluenced by each other. But then again, I was torn between that and communication. Anyone else?</p>

<p>There are three different experimental sections:</p>

<p>QC math
30 MC verbal
or 25 MC math</p>

<p>If nne of these sections was repeated on your test then it is the experimental.</p>

<p>The experimental was the second math section with 25 MC because the last question was</p>

<p>I had the 25 MC math one, because the last question was:
"If, you study for this test, you will do good"
What conclusions can be drawn?
A: If you do not do good, you didnt study for the test</p>

<p>Since logic questions were never asked on the SAT</p>

<p>FINAL POST OF EXPERIMENTAL DISCUSSION!
VERBAL (SHORT PASSAGES, CHIMP, JEWELRY)
VERBAL (KOREAN, TWINKLE)
VERBAL (Dual passage about HIKERS) </p>

<p>Right???</p>

<p>For the hikers passage, was the "rationalizing" question different from the question about the comparison of the tone of the passages?</p>

<p>hey BouncingKoala, you're not the only one who blew off an entire section. I just got lucky with the verbal, I blew off the one with, I can't even remember because I looked at the short passages and thought to myself that it had to be experimental. When I looked at the next section with the jewelry, I thought to myself, WHAT THIS HAS SHORT PASSAGES TOO! I went throughout the whole test knowing that I had a 50% chance at getting like a 470 on the verbal!!!</p>

<p>for the last grid-in...was it 4/9 or 5/9?</p>
