Sat october 2009 experimental sections???

<p>which ones are they?</p>

<p>for math especially? 3,4, ? </p>

<p>for reading (not that i had it, but just curious)?????</p>

<p>There is no way for us to tell you because there are different versions of the test which have different questions/passages/essays. </p>

<p>You can tell if a section is experimental by the number of sections and the total number of questions. For example, if you already had three writing sections total, then one is definitely experimental, which means in that case critical reading cannot be experiemental, just because it covers relatively new literature.</p>

<p>For the writing section, there is no real way to tell which of the 35-question sections is experiemental because they have the same number of question s (35+14=49)</p>

<p>Math questions always add up to 54 so, for example, if you had four sections with 19, 20, 19, and 16 questions respectively (the 16-question one always counts), then the experiemental one would be the 20-question one because (19+19+16=54). </p>

<p>Critical reading questions always add up to 67 so, for example, if you had four sections with 24, 25, 24, and 19 questions respectively (the 20-minute section at the end always counts), the experimental section would be the 25-question one because (24+24+19=67).</p>

<ul>
<li>There are always only three real critical reading and math sections, and two real multiple-choice writing sections (the long one and the very last section). The other sections are the essay section and the experimental.</li>
</ul>

<p>Basically, you have to take time during the test to do the math to figure out which section is experimental, which wastes time. So you can really only know if you memorized the number of questions in each section and added them up.</p>

<p>mad confused on math </p>

<p>heres what i think( u can respond to this)</p>

<p>there is 3 sections</p>

<p>1) 2 25 minutes
2) 1 20 MINUTES </p>

<p>1 of the 25 minute ones have grid ins </p>

<p>i think thats it?</p>

<p>Math normally has 3 sections so I don’t get what your saying.</p>

<p>yeah lol im glad we are agreeing</p>

<p>it does and i had 4.</p>
