Let's Discuss.

Not any specific problems/essays since the proctor told us to that that was specifically NOT allowed for this test, but in general.

Math was hard this year, I agree. I answered every question on the test save 3 or 4 math problems, could not even guess.

Critical reading I didn't find hard, the passages were actually interesting . . . or maybe i've trained myself to become interested when reading them.

Essay, what the hell was that kinda topic, very bad topic to write an entire essay about! I had 1 page + a paragraph, barely. I couldn't think of what else to put. By the way, i agreed with the prompt. But I almost always have AT LEAST a page + 2/3rd.

I know I had an extra 35 minute writing section which was my experimental, i just dont know which one WAS the experimental . . . . either the one about woo or failure, dont' know.

btw this isn't bm1, but im really anxious about this test and need to know whether to cancel or not . . i wanted to see your views

I wish I could get my score today... I think it was easier than the February SAT. The essay was easy-- I think I got a 12... but maybe that's just because I got a 12 on my last one too (my first SAT).

Writing was almost incredibly easy... I think one of em was experimental for me as well.

Math was easier than Feb's IMO... I finished every section and guessed on only a handful.

CR was even easy... Except for the 20 minute section. I could not focus! Maybe I mentally was "cooling down" already instead of keeping at it. Or maybe I should have finished my second drink.

I feel uncertain about what I got. I always feel that way. So, who knows. I just want the score...

this is my first sat test =\

i dont know, i feel the math was harder than the practice tests .. and the CR i guess just took an extra mental focus, i agree though, i didnt want to read the one about poems. very technical on who said what and the passage views seemed pretty close.

the asian one was pretty cool though, and I also liked the one about the detective friend . . .

what kinda examples did you use for your essay? maybe things seemed easier because it's your second time taking it.. /

god d&mn i didnt have any of those CR sections.

I thought section 2 math after the essay was impossible. left 5 blank and guessed on a couple grid-ins because there's no penalty.

I thought writing was alright. There were a few that were tough but I thought it was the easiest section.

I thought some of the CR passages were fu&&ed up. SOOO stupid and hard to follow. But I don't think I did that badly on them.

So a rough estimation might be low to mid 6's math, low to mid 7's CR and writing.
