March 2009 SAT discussion

<p>@giftedgothic- Well, you should be able to tell after you take the test. There are 10 sections, which breaks down to 3 that count for each, and 1 that doesn’t count. The 1 that doesn’t count should be an extra section of either subject: Critical Reading, Writing, or Math.</p>

<p>I had two CR sections in a row and a total of four, which means on one of my CR sections was experimental.</p>

<p>wow, how u get the 41.5, i swear i saw it and skipped, i only had like 3 min, and i did not think i could do that one.</p>

<p>Oh, I see… I’ll have to tell my friends about this. I don’t think they know, haha. I either had CR or W. I know I didn’t have four sections of math. I would have died.</p>

<p>^ lol. I was just glad not to get a reading experimental.</p>

<p>Ugh, I did ^</p>

<p>this is a pretty rough estimate…</p>

<p>math 760-780 …1 confirmed wrong (my best section)</p>

<p>reading (700-800)… usually my worst section by a mile, but surprisingly only 1 confirmed wrong</p>

<p>writing (750-800) none confirmed wrong…but still not my best section</p>

<p>math: 700
writing: 650
reading: 650</p>

<p>hoping to break 2000 :)</p>

<p>What could I get if i get
2 grid ins wrong on math
2-3 CR wrong
and 1 or 2 writing wrong with an 10 essay?
thanks</p>

<p>2 grid ins wrong would probably be a 770, due to this March test’s proclaimed math difficulty. 2-3 wrong in CR would be 790 or 800, and Writing would probably be 780-800. Nice job, if that’s all you missed.</p>

<p>Math - 800 (so far nothing wrong, I’m just hoping I didn’t get one of the silly questions wrong)
Writing - 750 (10-12 on the essay for sure. Missed 5 or less on MC)
CR - 650? (I can never gague CR correctly :/)</p>

<p>Total - 2200</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>math: 750
cr: 800
writing: 700</p>

<p>^those are rough estimates</p>

<p>^ Only 700 with 1-2 wrong with 10 essay? That sounds a little harsh - there’s a thread here where someone got an 800 with one wrong and a 10 essay.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You sound almost exactly like me. :)</p>

<p>did anyone remember if they got a 7.5 at all for the grid in? im almost sure i flipped the 3:4 to a 4:3 on the triangles question (13.33 i think), but i have a hope that it could be a diff one.</p>

<p>also, anyone remember the sentence completion that talked about hemingway? his style of writing was like straightforward in contrast to others that are ______? something like that, florid?</p>

<p>I put down lucid for that one. I had it down between lucid and florid. I didn’t know what either term meant.</p>

<p>the answer was florid.
florid = elaborate
lucid = clear, easily understood</p>

<p>for those talking about the essay, I think the Hitler example is fine as long as you had more than one example (ie more than one paragraph besides intro/conclusion). I personally used Nixon and Gatsby as my examples.</p>

<p>Question: will we ever get our test booklets back?</p>

<p>^ No. Usually you can if you order QAS, but there’s no QAS available for March.</p>

<p>I don’t understand why for important tests such as the SAT, collegeboard does not send our test booklets back while they send your PSAT booklet back!! stupid…</p>

<p>why no qas for march? high volume of test takers?</p>
