***January 2014 SAT (US ONLY)***

<p>What do you mean by am I aiming for a perfect? Isn’t everyone trying to be as close to perfect as possible on the SAT?</p>

<p>@ckoepp127 lol, sassy. But I think he meant are you expecting a near 2400</p>

<p>@WorkSAT2014 sorry mate, I don’t think it was experimental. I think I might have missed 1 on the math yall think there’s a possibility of -1 being a 780? All I really need </p>

<p>I don’t mean to sound sassy. I just really didn’t know what he meant.</p>

<p>But yes I think I got close to a 2400.</p>

<p>@Peezus I think its nearly set in stone for it to be a 780. Maybe, if we get extremely lucky, it’ll be a 790/800. I took the December 2013 and saw a copy of my friend’s October 2013 SAT (she ordered a copy) and the math on both of those two tests were extremely easy compared to the January SAT (both of them had -1 770). Because this was one significantly harder, you can practically guarantee yourself at least a 780</p>

<p>Yeah same except missed 1 CR for sure.
Most people don’t aim for a perfect…they just try to get above a 2200, above a 2300 etc.</p>

<p>I don’t aim for the 2400; the 2400 aims for me. :wink: </p>

<p>Uh, technically, yes, they do. The goal is to get as close to perfect as possible. Aiming for something isn’t saying that you necessarily think you can achieve it, it’s just saying that you’re trying to get as close as you possibly can.</p>

<p>I suppose it depends on what definition of “aim” you subscribe to. To me, saying that you’re not aiming for a perfect score is like saying that you don’t intend to as well as you can; that you are going to deliberately do worse than you could.</p>

<p>It doesn’t really matter though.</p>

<p>@WorkSAT2014 that sure is refreshing news. I totally agree, I took dec and got -1 in m on the easiest problem ever and got a 770. Seems like were in the same boat for math, my gut is telling me 790 for some really weird reason but I’m likely wrong, as much as I’m hoping that I’m not</p>

<p>Anybody know what time Wednesday/Thursday these are out?</p>

<p>@Peezus I really hope a -1 will be a 790, and this math, due to the controversy of the reflection question and a few other difficult problems (the trips question and the similar triangles one), is definitely of 790 level but Collegeboard usually screws with people and gives us what we don’t what. </p>

<p>@kdiddy34 Thursday at 5 A.M.</p>

<p>I think the math curve will be harsh. I thought it was very easy compared to past tests.</p>

<p>@immasenior I don’t think so. There were a lot of questions that confused people. </p>

<p>The questions that confused people were not even math-intensive. They were common sense questions or questions that you had to read carefully. ‘Difficult’ questions on past tests called for an in depth understanding of algebra or geometry, beyond similar triangles (I tested values and used common sense for that one and got it right within a minute), reading carefully (the trips question), or a fundamental understanding of how graphs work (the reflection problem). Were there any other than those “difficult” three?</p>

<p>@immasenior there was one geometry question that took me a bit of time, but most people didn’t have difficulty with it. I think it was on the last section, and was a few questions before the similar triangles question. It required knowledge of alternate interiors, same side interiors, etc. </p>

<p>yeah I remember that one. Still, I don’t think it was as difficult as past tests.</p>

<p>@immasenior do you remember the answer/answer choice for that one? </p>

<p>I do not. I only vaguely remember the question.</p>

<p>There was question with answer choices like whereby, thereby, was the experimental? And what was the answer? </p>
