I can't remember which color SAT book I had, nor what was my experimental.

I had two writing sections that consisted of 35 questions each. I thought I was only supposed to have 1 of those. Any clue as to which of the writing sections was experimental? The aunt in hawaii or the other one?

Hm, I don't remember the passages... I'm sorry.
But I know I completely sucked at that section.
Must have gotten at least 4 wrong on it. Omitted a few too.

I just remember that there were 2 separate short passages, and then 1 big passage.
And like 8 SC.

I think the experimental CR was the one with the passages about the people talking about the merits of manga.
