May 2013 SAT Discussion Thread

<p>@ilovediannaagron I put “replace ‘entrance’ with ‘to enter’” for that question.</p>

<p>but why couldn’t it be the one with “insert had immediately…”</p>

<p>also what about the shift in verb tense ISE</p>

<p>Anyone remember the question for the math fill in with the answer 2?</p>

<p>guys what was the question/answer for the vocab with answer choices arcane/sacrosanct</p>

<p>also can people post other vocab questions they remember</p>

<p>Would -2 on grid in and maybe -2 in MC be around 740?</p>

<p>Was the answer to one of the paragraphs, “however” or am I thinking of the experimental?</p>

<p>@5am6996 that would be around 720.</p>

<p>Yep, it was in the cooking article. It might be experimental. I had 2 writing sections.</p>

<p>Anyone else for the n+2/n question? Does anyone remember what it asked? I am still convinced it said the numerator was 2 less or the denominator was 2 greater or something.</p>

<p>Denominator 2 less than the numerator was the question.</p>

<p>Did anyone get a reading experimental? If u did which one did u think it was…</p>

<p>F<strong><em>!!! That automatically takes me down to like a 770, looks like i’m taking it again during my senior year to get that easy but extremely elusive 800 in math. F</em></strong> this, every time there’s some stupid mistake that prevents me from getting them all right.</p>

<p>As someone aiming for a 2300 (2160 in January), the fact that I lose 30 points for misreading one question out of like 54 ****es me off.</p>

<p>The curve better make a -1 be like a 790 because it looks like there were some ambiguous questions this time.</p>

<p>Is there any chance at all of still getting an 800 even with one wrong in math?</p>

<p>Could anyone tell me what they think my score would be?
Math: -1 on grid in and 0 omitted
CR: 1 omitted / Could you also tell me what -2 MC and 1 omitted would be (just in case)
Writing: Probably about -5 on MC and I would conservatively say a 8 or 9 essay</p>

<p>I think some years a -1 has been an 800 but it’s extremely unlikely because the curve is ridiculously stupid.</p>

<p>Can someone please explain how you got 96 for the hexagon? How did you figure out that the little sides were length 2?</p>

<p>@swimmer24,
770~790
790
~730
@Yakisoba, the sides were 1/3 the length of a side of the hexagon…you can tell by the way the lines were drawn.</p>
