<p>We are lifting the embargo. </p>
<p>Let us keep all the discussions about the SAT Reasoning test in this specifc thread. Later on, we will create a second thread with the consolidated answers. </p>

<p>Can we talk about the essay?</p>
<p>What Essay question did everyone get? I got does the technological progress make a society neglect values such as education and protection of the environment. I used global warming as an example i felt that math was the easiest and reading was average and writing was the most difficult.</p>
<p>not until you they've been graded/you recieve your scores, apparently... </p>
<p>i just came home from taking it. forgot how unbelieveably long the sat is. by the 9th section, i was ready to collaspe and die, and by the 10th i had to read each sentence about five times to grasp the meaning, lol...</p>
<p>I got nervous on the math section which probably lowered my overall math score. I finished the english section so incredibly fast. My essay was about technology. I used the Industrial Revolution and bioethics.</p>
<p>mine was technology too... but somehow i went off tangent to talking about opressive government (1984 by orwell) and the meaning of life and mankind's issues (ishmael by quinn), hahaha... not sure how that went. </p>
<p>math i thought was pretty easy, with the exception of a few problems i ran out of time on... </p>
<p>anyone know the grid in that was gave you f(x) = a^2 + bx + c, the vertex point, and then f(1) = f(9) = 12? something like that</p>
<p>and also the one about red, green and black marbles... answers were like (a) 8 (b) 12 (c) 14 and etc... </p>
<p>i thought critical reading was OKAY for the most part, the passages weren't incredibly boring, some were kinda interesting (only remember the one on morton the businessman and women/michaelangelo/art...) but writing was just bleh, haha... i believe i had writing, cr, writing, all in a row. UGH horrible...</p>
<p>my essay was about oppinions being influenced by our surroundings</p>
<p>You'd think it would be easier to focus on simple short math problems than on a long essay. If someone gives me a normal math test with logarithms to different bases and all that stuff, I can handle it. When you put me in a pressure packed environment and give me little math problems, I just don't do as well.</p>
<p>Yeah, what was up with that essay question? (tech) What kind of literature/novels do they expect us to discuss when you have to talk about that? I just discussed some political issues...I really had no way at all to relate it to my own person experience. Tough essay topic</p>
<p>i thought this test was muchhhhh easier than the april one</p>
<p>for the math question for the one with the parabola was the points were (-2,0) and (5,0) did the highest point have an x value of 1.5</p>
<p>x should equal 1.5 because it's the midpoint between the two roots.</p>
<p>math was so easy no problems there id like to see some critical reading answers so i feel a little more confident about that. some of the writing multiple choices were tricky i thought and essay topic was weird but doable- easier then april but i found myself going off on a tangent when i was trying to write about a book so i made one up. if anyone has any math questions ill be happy to answer them. does anyone know if there were two versions thsi time liek april?</p>
<p>i'm making a chatroom on AIM like they did for the May test so we can discuss without being worried about it here. Chatroom name is "June Sat"</p>
<p>how about the one when it gave the graph and it asked for the reflection of it or sumthin...was it the exact same thing or the reflection about the x axis</p>
<p>Only one I omitted was that reflection one.</p>
<p>No...when u reflect a parabola ove the x-axis all the y values become negative</p>
<p>I bombed the essay. I did too much prewriting and then when the five minute mark came up I was all: blaaaaagh!! I barely got a page in + a little bit. :( I guess I'm too used to the 45 min writing time for AP Eng.</p>
<p>There was this one math section that was ridic. easy. I was able to go back three times and stare at each problem individually. Then there was another math section (I'm hoping its the one not counted) that was signific. harder. I almost didn't finish all the Qs and I guessed on one :x</p>
<p>Edit: I thought the reflection one was 3? ...Er. That was the one I totally guessed on. :( I think I'm wrong.</p>
<p>The f(9) = 1 is x = 3. I actually spent five whole minutes trying to graph the correct parabola in my calculator. Waste of time, but I couldn't remember how to solve it.</p>
<p>um i know this is a stupid question but never use chatrooms i have AIM version 5.9.3861 i was wondering how do i join the chatroom only can figure out how to start one not join one.</p>
<p>ummm, some of these math q's do not sound familiar.....marbles? vertex f(1)=9....</p>
<p>where there 2 tests? or am i just retarded</p>
