SAT January 2012 - Experimental Sections

<p>The purpose of this thread is to reveal what sections were experimental. This is just for peace of mind. When providing the section that was experimental, please mention:
1) Which subject (Math, Reading, Writing)
2) Basic gist of what some of the questions asked
Thank you.</p>

<p>I had an experimental writing. I could tell because I had two 35-question sections in a row. The former of the two sections was much more time consuming than the latter, which leads me to believe that the former is the experimental section.</p>

<p>I had an experimental CR.</p>

<p>Experimental CR: Number 8 in the Sentence Completions had the word “quixotic” in it, let me try and remember it:
Professor Hendrex makes a distinction between people who are quixotic and those who are …</p>

<p>That section was experimental in CR.</p>

<p>If your writing passage questions (30-35) did not include a topic on subway art and how it has changed over time, then your writing section was experimental.</p>

<p>That’s all I know. PS: This is for the International SAT.</p>

<p>Ok, let’s finally settle this. Which were experimental?</p>

<p>For reading I had: photography, Cold War, shy policeman (landlord couple), internal clock</p>

<p>For writing I had: Teeming with fish + paragraph about fossils (bird + dino)</p>

<p>For math I had: EBCAD, 144th term = 12^12, and I can’t remember the first one…</p>

<p>If anyone knows already which are experimental could you please share? Thanks.</p>

<p>The real writing section had an “Editing essay” passage on dinosaurs. </p>

<p>Experimental writing had an “Editing essay” passage on skyscraper farms
Experimental CR had a passage on Asian American politicians</p>

<p>Experimental math had a diagram of a square pyramid.</p>

<p>@hm</p>

<p>are you international? otherwise that would be weird… b/c i had 4 cr sections and none had a passage about asian american politicians…</p>

<p>do you remember which section?</p>

<p>was skyscraper farms section 6 or 7?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure the Nixon/Cold War passage was in an experimental section, considering it was pretty hard yet no one is talking about it.</p>

<p>@msteiny1212 yea that was experimental. i had experimental math and remember nothing about nixon</p>

<p>nixon kitchen debate anyone?</p>

<p>If you had 4 math sections, which one do you think was experimental?</p>

<p>@jman010295 refer to above post</p>

<p>was writing experimental section 6 or 7?</p>

<p>I had math experimental. I’ve seen problems I’ve never seen before.</p>

<p>I had a critical reading experimental with John Sousa discussing the advent of digital music. </p>

<p>The vocabulary was crazy hard. I consider myself well-read and I didn’t even know a couple of them. They weren’t from DH either, so if that section is ever used in the future, DH is going to need to update their books.</p>

<p>dvdhsu, was that section 6? It also had the ones with the beezzzz right?</p>

<p>@onmyway2ivy I had 2 writing sections for section 6 and 7. One was dinasaur fossils and one was Asians in American politics or something. I can’t remember which, but one was much easier than the other. Do you remember any of the grammar correction quesitons?</p>
