So let's check the experimental for the May 2010 SAT - Section 3 or 6?

<p>I got 3 writing sections (not counting the essay) and aside from section 10, there were 2 25-minute sections, in sections 3 and 6, so one of those is experimental.</p>

<p>To those who did NOT have a writing experimental, what was the mini-essay in the writing section about? I had 1 in each section, the first about some agricultural family, I think, and the second about a juggling brother and some guitar (section 6).
I'm kind of hoping it's section 6, because I'm pretty sure I aced sec. 3 but I may have missed 1 or 2 questions for the paragraph improvement questions in 6.</p>

<p>Yeah, I got the Jimenez+agricultural family and Juggling brother too.</p>

<p>I think I did real good on one, but kinda bad on the other. I had like 1 confident NE in one and like 4 NE in the one I’m not so sure on.</p>

<p>The juggling is the real section. But I can’t remember which one I did well on lol</p>

<p>Just to clear up any confusion, section 3 with the jugglers and whatnot was indeed the writing experimental. I received a reading experimental on that section, while countless others received a math experimental at that point. </p>

<p>I feel like I missed a couple on section 6 as well trying to make the choice between NE and something that sounds wrong but probably isn’t (grammatically). Hopefully I didn’t overdo it : /</p>

<p>By the way, one of them went like “something something something HAD TOOK” was that one NE or did you have to circle “had took” to change it to “had taken”. It sounds awkward, of course, but I think “had took” was grammatically OK in that sentence.</p>

<p>Definitely grammatically wrong, sorry =/ Past participle of “take” is taken, not took, in any circumstances.</p>

<p>no i had a math experimental(section 3) but the juggling brother short paragraph was NOT exp. b/c i had it.</p>

<p>The experimental was section 3. I had an experimental reading and the long passage in section 3 was about a person searching for a ghost orchid in the everglades or something, which nobody is discussing on here.</p>

<p>^can you elaborate on that? like what were the small passages about?
I had an exp. reading too but i can’t remember what the passages were about.</p>

<p>I don’t remember the small passages at all, but I know my experimental was the author looking for a ghost orchid in a state park in florida. But I think there were multiple experimentals because other people are talking about an experimental reading about Vienna or Venice or something which I definitely did not have.</p>

<p>as said before the juggling was NOT experimental
my experimental was a math grid in that had a question with two functions that intersected to form a diamond that we had to find the area of in a grid in.</p>

<p>I had 3 writing sections. Two 25 minutes and one 10 minute, and I’m really hoping Section 3 was the experimental cause I thought the Error ID part was ridiculously hard, IMO.</p>

<p>I also had three writing sections - two 25 minute and one 10 minute. I had the juggler/airship stories.</p>

<p>Not to hijack the thread, but could anyone explain to me exactly how experimental sections work? Every person gets one experimental section - either M, CR, or W - and it’s a full section?</p>

<p>I had a section 3 CR experimental.</p>

<p>did anybody have a math problem that was the median of the first 101 odd integers? i’m hoping that was experimental…but i can’t remember if it was in section 2 or 3.</p>

<p>I definitely didn’t have that ^</p>

<p>I had that median of first 101 odd integers question… I’m pretty sure I had math experimental because I had 4 math sections and 2 of them were in a row. I’m not sure if it was in section 3 or 4 (if you count the essay as section 1, and then I had a CR section before the first math one). I believe it was in section 3…? I think my experimental was section 3, especially because I didn’t even get to start the last 3 questions and I have never run out of time before.</p>

<p>Do you mean the 101 integer one? I’m assuming so since someone else on this thread said they didn’t have it. I definitely remember it, but I can’t remember if it was one of the three I skipped but I guess it must have been, if section 3 was experimental.</p>

<p>I know for a fact I had 4 math sections, but I don’t recall the 101 odd integers or two functions forming a diamond. I had two grid-in maths, is this normal?</p>

<p>The writing experimental was definetly the one with agricultural families or whatever. I had a CR Experimental so all my writing sections were real, I had the jugging one.</p>

<p>I had writing experimental… The “essay” was about migrant worker life and comparing it to Francisco Jimenez’s The Circuit. There was also an ISE about Langston Hughes adopting a writing style similar to that of another newspaper columnist and how readers weren’t surprised. It was NE.</p>

<p>I believe it was section 3, but I’m not positive.</p>
