<p>who had 2 open ende math sections? i hope the one with the 3, 17, 100 square root problem doesn't count. the other open ended section i thought was pretty easy. the technology essay i thought wasn't that bad. i used 1984 and hurricane katrina/war in iraq</p>

<p>Can anyone give me the answers to the vocab? I have a miserable memory and the only one I can remember doubting was one I got wrong. </p>

<p>I put "quailed at" for the first vocab of the fist CR section. It's wrong.</p>

<p>if anyone had math experimental, I think that section 3 was it. how often do they ask logic questions like "if gina is not in club 1 how can we be certain she's not in the hiking club"? and rearranging equations?</p>

<p>no, that can't be experimental. i had that section and i had 4 CR reading sections.</p>

<p>^ That section counted. I had an experimental verbal (ughh) and I had that math section.</p>

<p>So if I were to unfold a cube with no top and cut one inch edges and then refoled it back up, what would the new volume be if the original was 216 units cubed?</p>

<p>oh well, that section was incredibly easy anyway. I think I got 112 for the volume.</p>

<p>Verbal was hella hard.
Math was all right
And writing was just Ok.</p>

<p>I hope the first verbal was experimental.</p>

<p>For my essay, not discussing the topic, I wrote about hurricane katrine and doppler radars, 1984 and the internet. I hadf to **** on the last section, but I don't know how well I did.</p>

I'm not entirely sure, but I solved it as such:</p>

<p>6<em>6</em>6 (equation for volume) = 216 - 36 (the area of the top box) - 16 (the area of the four 1 inch small squares put together) = 164 units cubed</p>

<p>I thought the math was hard, which is sad b/c I retook it to get an 800... Verbal was surprisingly easy, esp. since I thought the April SAT was the lucky break for me in Verbal. Writing was so-so, and I wrote about the use of calculators in school and China's Three Gorges Dam.</p>

<p>just 2 fitz- are you smart and/or a good writer because i noticed you used the same essay topics as me</p>

<p>CR harder for me than last, my score probably dropped.
Math, easier for me, I knew how to do all the questions but probably missed a couple.
Writing, I think I did a better essay with MC about the same.</p>

<p>I had an experimental math section.</p>

<p>Sib, what you calculated is the surface area </p>

<p>whether it has a top or not has no effect on the volume
i got 96
4<em>4</em>6</p>

<p>if i remember correctly, after the 1 inch slips were cut with the squares, the height of each side became 7 (so no overlapping occurred) and the base was 4x4.</p>

<p>did anyone get the answer to the one wit the similar squares and rectangles
it was one of the last mc questions on one of the math sections</p>

<p>i definitely got 96....
it was 6 by 6 on all sides. but then it was 4*4 on base, and the hieght remained 6.....</p>

<p>hmm i didnt have that cube w/ no top problem... i think it may have been experimental</p>

<p>bball, unfortunately i believe you are wrong too. You forgot to add the 1 on the height that is added from the base being slightly curled up... so it would be 4 x 4 x 7 = 112</p>

<p>"i thought this test was muchhhhh easier than the april one"</p>

<p>Me too. Without getting confident (that didn't pay off for me on the II's....), I think I raised my math score 50-100 points, my writing maybe 10 or 20 points (it was already a 740) and hopefully I raised my CR 30 or so points, frlom a 720.</p>

<p>I'm aiming for 2150. I think I may have done it, although I don't want to say that definitively because I was sure I was 700+ for all my SAT II's and I got 540, 630, 670...</p>

<p>Oh, by the way I had two math grid-in sections, so one of them was experimental.</p>
