<p>If you took the black-and-white cover version of the SAT Reasoning Test on Saturday, October 4, 2008, you had one of two section orders. Your test was organized like this:</p>

<li>Essay</li>
<li>Mathematics (includes SPR questions)</li>
<li>Reading</li>
<li>Equating (the one that doesn’t count toward your score)</li>
<li>Mathematics</li>
<li>Reading (includes 2 long passages)</li>
<li>Writing</li>
<li>Mathematics</li>
<li>Reading

<li>Writing</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>

<p>OR, like this:</p>

<li>Essay</li>
<li>Reading (includes 2 long passages)</li>
<li>Equating (the one that doesn’t count toward your score)</li>
<li>Mathematics</li>
<li>Writing</li>
<li>Reading</li>
<li>Mathematics (includes SPR questions)</li>
<li>Reading</li>
<li>Mathematics

<li>Writing</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>

<p>Okay, I took the test in Canada and I think I had the second one but Im not so sure.
So do you think this applies to the internationals?</p>

<p>If it does, then do you remember what the section 3 was about?
I know that it was CR but I don’t remember what passages I had.
Im guessing it was either the pipe one or the Louisa Alcott one.</p>

2

<p>Alcott was unfortunately experimental... :(</p>

3

<p>i'm saying unfortunately because it was easier than the pipe passage.</p>

4

<p>are you sure?
i was expecting the pipe one to be experimental
i agree, Alcott one was easier :(</p>

5

<p>i kind of new right away that section my 4 math was experimental... it for some reason seemed harder to me, plus i didnt have time for like 3 or 4</p>

6

<p>After</a> the Test</p>

<p>that's the website</p>

7

<p>I have a question: If you had a pink cover when you took the SAT does that mean you had no experimental section.</p>

<p>Is it possible to have no experimental section? Wouldn't those people finish earlier or something?</p>

8

<p>I had three writing sections. Two 25 min ones and one 10 min one. Anyone know which one was experimental for that?</p>

9

<p>I just looked it up and equating is included in the writing. I did worse on the non experimental. crap!</p>

10

<p>my memory isweak can u explain what was in the equating section?</p>

11

<p>What was the Louisa Alcott one about?</p>

<p>I had a new art one, a pipe one, Chinese mother one and automobiles one.</p>

12

<p>Yeah, I had the exact same stuff as Galith (art, pipe, mother, automobile/city). I'm pretty sure our experimental was a math section because those were the only four I had.</p>

13

<p>the passage about Louisa Alcott was that she had different styles of writing
one side was sentimental and feminine whereas the other side was more masculine and stuff.
i had...
shakespeare
art / pipe
chinese mother
automobiles
jewelry</p>

<p>so is it likely that alcott one was experimental?</p>

14

<p>Never got an alcott one, is it possible to have an experimental math though? I only had 3 sections of that.</p>

15

<p>Wow this makes really happy because my second reading passage was the only one I was worried about but now that I know that it was experimental, I feel pretty confident about my cr score</p>

16

<p>well pooey.
does anyone know what the experiemntal math section in the black n white cover was? some questions, if you remember them, would be helpful.</p>

17

<p>I am pretty sure the alcott one was the experimental. The alcott passage was about alcott's double style of writing - one was domestic and romantic while the other was radical and feminist.</p>

18

<p>do you remember what passages were in the second CR section?</p>

19

<p>Yeahh, my experimental was obvious. It was about biodiversity, it was very hard.</p>

20

<p>what was in the equating section can any1 tell me</p>
