Verbal Harder than Normal March 12th?

<p>All I know is I'm hoping for a generous curve on verbal because it was significantly harder than practice ones. The math was relatively easy but that verbal kills. Discuss especially those in below 700 verbal range your thoughts.</p>

<p>I agree, I found critical reading much more difficult on the March test than on practice tests.</p>

<p>Yea I have to agree, I found the vocab especially hard. I must have missed 3-4, and I guessed a few correctly. On the practice tests I never missed any vocab...the passages were harder too, butnot much harder.</p>

<p>i found it easier, or maybe i jsut guessed well considering i got most right after looking at other peoples answers here...</p>

<p>I didn't take the March test, so could someone explain to me how the CR was so difficult? Was it the Sentence Comps? If it was difficult, then it must've been one of those cases where there were multiple obscure words in the same question, because if there's just one, you can figure it out by process of elimination. What about the reading passages, how were they harder than practice tests? </p>

<p>I'm mostly concerned about the Math. How does it compare to the blue book?</p>

<p>For me, if the sentence completions are hard, I tend to spend more time on them. That means I will have less time for the passages, which leads to more questions wrong in critical reading which leads to lower scores.</p>

<p>I would say overall the March SAT was well matched with the blue book... with the exemption of the sentence completions.. THOSE WERE CRAZY.</p>

<p>What were some of the crazy Sentence Comps?</p>

<p>For the March 12th test...you can go back and find the thread...everyone talked about those sentence completions over and over and I think all the answers were compiled finally</p>

<p>i agree - at first i thought my verbal was experimental it was that bad</p>

<p>they're evil, i say</p>

<p>I thought the critical reading were about average/maybe a little easier than the practice book, but the setence completions were a bit harder. No way there will be a very generous curve, probably about average.</p>

<p>It was the passages. Excruciatingly painful and boring passages, some of them. Gosh. Culture overload.</p>

<p>I found it easy...the readings were very straight forward...</p>

<p>what were they...old woman doesn't like that new town or whatever
then that dumb museum thing
then something else that didn't matter</p>

<p>one of them was on cloning I think. But dude. I HATED the museum junk. That was nasty stuff man.</p>

<p>I found the passages to be very easy, but the sentence completion was a killer. I got no less than 5x on the CR. I'm anticipating the worst. :(</p>

<p>For sentence completion... I used process of elimination and connotations of the words to make an educated guess.</p>

<p>But I know I made 2 stupid mistakes in verbal CR.</p>

<p>I found all the verbal/writing stuff to be really easy
the problem was that I had to go to the bathroom SOOO bad during the whole 4 hours..it was horrible! I ended up rushing through the sections for verbal but still thought I did really well...especially on the sentence completion and the vocab (I hope!)
DAMN VENTI SIZED DRINKS!</p>

<p>Write about that on your college essays acacia LoL. Say that this demonstrated how you can work under pressure =)</p>

<p>i thought it was kinda easy.........then again, all of yall will probly get a higher score than me:-P</p>

<p>yea I know at least I'd get something good out of that experience! seriously...I ALWAYS have coffee before these things but I usualyl order a tall or a grande. so that Saturday I don't know what posessed me to get a venti...=( that was the worst decision of my life. I was actually ROCKING back and forth in my seat and my proctor was looking at my like I was crazy and then she realized I had to go and so she shooed me out of the room. so I'm really hoping all those problems I rushed through were as easy as I thought they were.</p>
