March 2009 SAT discussion

<p>does anyone know where i can find that CR passage about how we don’t treasure things while we have them online? you know, the one with the china dog. i really want to use it for an essay i’m writing for English.</p>

<p>or are all the passages made up?
thanks</p>

<p>I hope I break 700 for all of them but that might be wishful thinking. </p>

<p>I’m really hoping for 2100-2200. If I got even EXACTLY 2200 I’d be ecstatic.</p>

<p>A quick google search led me here: [Three</a> Men In A Boat - Future Treasures What I’m Seeing](<a href=“http://whatton.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2008/01/10/three-men-in-a-boat-future-treasures/]Three”>Three Men In A Boat – Future Treasures | What I'm Seeing), and then here: [Three</a> Men In A Boat](<a href=“http://www.forgottenfutures.com/game/boat/boat.htm]Three”>Three Men In A Boat)</p>

<p>It appears to be an excerpt from the book Three Men in a Boat.</p>

<p>I got about three to four no errors. I had a lot of time left over (grammar is my best subject), so I thoroughly reviewed each answer by reading the question backwards (you often pick up on errors that way). Overall, I thought grammar was VERY easy.</p>

<p>@sasquatch: The math curve is harsh so your score is going to be around a 600 - 650</p>

<p>@abravesone: These are estimates</p>

<p>M: 740 - 780
CR: 700 - 770
W: 700 - 800</p>

<p>Total: 2180 - 2310</p>

<p>CR: 750-800
M: 690 :confused:
W: 780-800 </p>

<p>Going into the test, I was hoping for a 2200…crossing my fingers that I didn’t make any silly mistakes!</p>

<p>@112358: Ah, it’s the same for me as well, though I suppose for an IT field a lower math score won’t be as crucial as for a math/science major. Smart choice - me too. :)</p>

<p>@Kevin11: Fantastic. I used Fahrenheit 451 as well. I’m sure your essay was fine. :)</p>

<p>@abravesone: Very roughly:
M: 720-790
CR: 720-780
W: 760-800</p>

<p>@Xaari: On the other hand, having a 1600 CR/W may make me stand out from other applicants who aren’t as strong in non-math subjects. I’m sure even science-focused colleges want well-rounded students. And it’s not like a 750 M is a terrible score or anything :stuck_out_tongue: So it may be silly to risk losing an 800 CR, but of course that’s assuming I get it in the first place. We shall just have to wait patiently…</p>

<p>Thank you SO much!</p>

<p>Hi, this is sort of irrelevant, but can anyone tell me where to find the CC link someone posted that contained a chart of several past SAT test scores by month and assigned them levels of difficulty? Thanks</p>

<p>what did u guys put for the question that asked the tone of the author for the article on why children now are defendless towards advertising.
i put rightous something</p>

<p>Thank you ^!</p>

<p>No problem. We should really sticky that link or something.</p>

<p>For the Pie chart one is it alright that I put x= 41.5 because the question never stated that it had to be an integer. This would make each y= 19.5, and satisfy the equation 2p<x<3p</p>

<p>Am i right?</p>

<p>I got a fair many no errors for the writing. I think i got 3 in each (one was experimental).
As for those who were discussing people aiming for 2400s… I agree, but am also aiming high. I want to go Ivy but I’ve seen the people on the board and I definitely am not that ambitious(/crazy?). I’m just curious as to what score you’re aiming for, as well as where you plan to go.</p>

<p>Yes d12345, I believe that is acceptable.</p>

<p>This might sound stupid, but what is the “experimental” section? This is my first time taking the SAT so I’m a little in the dark. Thanks. :)</p>

<p>^ It’s a section on the test that doesn’t count towards you score. It’s used to determine how smart the particular group of test-takers is.</p>

<p>Oh, so it’s just a random section that no one knows what it is?</p>
