Finally received my QAS (Question and Answer Service) booklets from the May 2015 test in the mail today–it’s a bit different from SAT Test #5. Most notably, a question (#14 on the Math No Calculator section) was omitted from the math section, suggesting that the question was flawed.
Not much time to study it before I take the SAT again tomorrow morning…but beggars can’t be choosers I guess.
Did anyone else receive the May 2016 QAS today?
Ha! Hilarious.
Are the QAS questions, for the most part, comparable to its practice test counterparts? How many questions went off tangent?
What does this even mean? Tangent as in math?
or it was a pretest (equating) question. Was question 14 printed in the QAS booklet?
No, it was not printed in the booklet.
That could mean it was a pretest question. In SAT Practice Test 5, question 14 in the no-calc section is the graph of the reflection about the x-axis of f(x)=2^x+1. Do you remember whether this question was on the May test?
I don’t really remember…I’m an SAT tutor and I’ve probably tried 10,000 different SAT questions, so it’s hard to remember specific questions from a test I took 5 months ago. If anyone can remember what #14 NC was, or can piece it together from the online forums, then please let us know.
Glad y’all are getting your packets back. I’m still waiting for mine. I have some old SAT tests where questions were omitted. Funny, isn’t it, that I don’t have a single ACT that had a question that had to be canned due to flawed writing?
Correction. I got mine today but will look at it later. The focus of my students now is the October ACT.
I agree that the ACT is the more polished test at the moment. But I think that the SAT is now a better option for most, due to its higher level of predictability (in terms of question types) from one test to the next. The ACT requires a far broader range of knowledge.
