***Oct 2014 SAT (US ONLY)***

<p>Collegeboard doesn’t care about people discussing the SAT yet ACT gave us multiple warnings about discussing the ACT. </p>

<p>What the heck?</p>

<p>Hey guys I drew the x + y with two triangles and a square. Anyone remember if there were any opposite vertex angles? (I remember there being none, but I’m biased because that would mean my answer (120) was right)</p>

<p>If it looked like the first one, means answer was 120, second one means answer was 135</p>

<p>I think it was 120 because one pair of the opposite angles weren’t congruent </p>

<p>how is it 4 no errors, it should have just been the dancing one, the one about electric consumption, and the squirrel</p>

<p>Is the experimental section the one that has 2 machines pumping into a pool question??! </p>

<p>no that section wasn’t experimental</p>

<p>@hindu11‌ exactly what i got. do you remember what you put for the big writing section question 10? </p>

<h1>4noerror</h1>

<p>@sat2014 I got A for both 10 and 11 on the big writing section</p>

<p>what were the other choices other than her being candid?</p>

<p>Let’s make this easy, like my comment if you got 4 no error on writing</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the find the error writing question about stress and laughter?
I chose the “from stress” underlined part</p>

<p>and also for the median between 1-100 inclusive math question, i put has to be less than 96 is that wrong?</p>

<p>@scarlettlovesivy‌ what other no error did you get aside from the squirrel, electrical appliances, and dancing</p>

<p>@hindu11‌ for 10 i put A for 11 i put B it talked about 2 things which is why i chose B or WERE. i got 13 wrong on the last writing secion. should be greatly affected. redundant error. What about improving paragraphs? what did you put for 35?</p>

<p>WAIT I thought experimental was reading about the origin of european farmers… It had really weirdly phrased questions where they asked you to make a claim and then the following question was find the textual evidence that supports your claim above… Did you guys get that one? </p>

<p>for 35 i put the conclusion sentence about how varied exercises can be good for normal people, but athletes have to carefully consider them (forget the letter answer)</p>

<p>wait someone remember the stress question?</p>

<p>@sat2014 the last question(11) is usually the hardest one and were seemed to be obvious so I picked A. Can’t remember what number 35 was</p>
