***December 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

Guys will math be a normal curve or harsh curve? Also what about CR?

Canceled my score, feel so guilty about wasting money.

@amphigory Why did you cancel?

^Yea that’s a dumb move. :L I’d never cancel my score.

No point in canceling unless this is your third attempt. Since there is one more test for this version of the SAT in January.

what are everyone’s thoughts on omitting? will it actually help my score on this one if I omitted 10 questions in total but only omitted 2 last test?

@ervbler13 how would we know…

Just in general. do people normally do better on the SAT when they omit more questions and get fewer wrong? I am pretty clueless about that kind of stuff

Guys, I’m pretty sure the dispense/detested and condemn/dreaded question was worded like this:

“Although he never hesitated to __________ personal invectives, he so ______________ criticism that he avoided arguments with his friends.”

Dispense/detested makes more sense in this sentence I think :stuck_out_tongue:

If that’s the sentence, then it must be “dispense/detested,” @Ninjadu

I hope so… Do you guys remember how the question was worded? Because having the word “hesitated” in there makes a huge difference.

I thought the sentence said something like “Although John never scolded the use of personal insults, he did not like being the victim of criticism either” so basically although John never said that using personal insults were bad, he hated being the victim of criticism.

The other version would be “Although John never gave out personal insults, he hated being the victim of criticism” which doesn’t make sense. However, if the word hesitated was in there, then “dispense…detest” has to be correct. So… anyone have a crystal clear memory?

And for the procrastination one, I’m still not sure if it is “pertinent to writing than other creative types” or “bound to cause procrastination” ugh this reading was annoying

@ervbler13 It all depends. Someone could get 2 wrong and 10 omits and score lower than someone who gets 4 wrong and 0 omits.

@garyasho2

“Although he never _____ personal invectives…”

For the first blank, the answer choices were in the infinitive/present form (dispense, condemn), not in past tense (dispensed, condemned).

So I think it probably had to be “Although he never hesitated TO __________ personal invectives…” for the answer choices to work.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong about the verb tense of the answer choice though.

does anybody remember the vocab question that had exigency as one of the choices

for the personal invectives question?

no it was a different question

10 days remain everyone.

scared :frowning:
