So... how was it? (Nov. 4 SAT)

<p>Without getting into specific questions, how was it for you guys? </p>

<p>For me, it went extremely well... I don't know what happened, but I finished every 25 minute section with at least 5-10 minutes left.</p>

<p>Math- I owned it. I'm so happy.
CR- Harder than the last time I took it (May), yet I finished really early.
Writing- Essay was only decent (again)... I can't do timed essays! MC went well though.</p>

<p>HOLY CRAP, IS IT DONE YET</p>

<p>ohmygod, so effing long, i was there for the past 5 hours, i think i have a permanent creak in my neck...</p>

<p>I thought CR was easier this time (took it in april), but i'm afraid the curve will be harsher now...math not so great, writing, um some of the answer choices were REALLY F**KED UP</p>

<p>Oh yeah, essay, i got a page and a half done, and i think it was a lot better than last time, and yeah i agree, it's not coming up with ideas or actually writing an essay that's hard but the TIME LIMIT and your hand just starts to hurt so badly ..</p>

<p>CR effed me up. passaged were ok, vocab killed me.</p>

<p>math was way easier than i expected</p>

<p>writing was ok, a few questions were tricky, essay was easy</p>

<p>what examples did you use for essay?</p>

<p>-grapes of wrath
-mlk jr. and gandhi
-sports team captains</p>

<p>civil rights
the scarlet letter
my personal experience in this army thing</p>

<p>MLKJR lol same. Lotf (how they ignored Ralph's ideas and values). Personal about class president at how there were so many candidates no one could focus in one individual. Therefore we had a "popular" president and it was bad that we did not look at values of each person etc. my best part was conclusion where i talked about thats how our founding fathers created hte country. This was the chassis of America!</p>

<p>business market
scientific research; human genome & newton
personal wedding story
nice conclusion
1.5 pages</p>

<p>Well I used chassis kind of in the wrong context. I used it as a metaphor which I think will lower my grade a lot.. damn. i said how that thesis was the chassis under which america was found. I was using chassis as "backbone" but it talks mostly on dictionary.com as something of a backbone or outline of a CAR.</p>

<p>so most of you went against the claim right?</p>

<p>ack, i was timing the essay section, and for some reason the section finished 1.6 minutes earlier than my timer indicated!! I was in the middle of writing my 3rd paragraph, so i didnt have a conclusion paragraph -_-...how many marks do u guys think will be taken off for no conclusion?</p>

<p>and hey, i wrote about LOTF too!</p>

<p>Yea. It was much easier for me that way.</p>

<p>did you guys include an intro paragraph too? i had a total of 5 paragraphs, 3 examples, but kinda sloppy writing cause time was going so fast...i dont know if they take off for conclusion, they realize you only have 25 mins..so if you look like you knew how to write an essay, maybe they wont take off that much.</p>

<p>how long were your essays guys?</p>

<p>much easier than i expected, i felt great while taking test, only real problem was the essay, i have only taken the act and i knew this essay had to incorporate books, people etc so it was harder</p>

<p>yup, i had a pretty good intro paragraph i think, i would've had 5 paragraphs too, except i didnt get to finish the 4th one or even do the conclusion one. My essay was 1 page and about 4 or 5 lines on the other page.</p>

<p>my test center was so cold! for essay, i used alexander the great, napoleon, vivien leigh, lew wallace, and ben-hur..... ehhh we'll see how it goes. i wrote it informally, with contractions and such, though i did keep it in the first person. no second!</p>

<p>i thought writing went pretty well...better than last time at least.
critical reading was harder than last time, i probably did slightly worse.
math was..... ehhhh better than last time, but still 600s.</p>

<p>holy **** that was hard!</p>

<p>CR WAS LIKE OMFG*** HARD--ESP THE FREAKING VOCAB!!!
Math was ok
Writing for the most part was ok, except like a few questions that I got tricked on.
essay was good i guess</p>

<p>It went pretty well for me I think, but it was my first time.</p>

<p>I owned at the vocab. I was realllly proud of myself.</p>

<p>My essay was ok... I filled up every line on both pages...</p>

<p>The math and CR were OK. The grammar was kinda hard-ish.</p>

<p>What was your guys' question??? I had something about whether fictional works can teach us anything useful in life (something along those lines).</p>

<p>^ Yeah, I had that one. I wrote about Of Mice And Men and TKAM. Yeah for freshman year curriculum ^_^</p>
