<p>I know I missed a certain SC questions 
which makes me ****ed because I usually get them all right. Dammit, I forgot that I skipped number 12 (general question) and noticed it a minute before time was called, but by then I didn’t have time to do what I normally did because it was a pretty hard question with ambiguous answer choices. There was another question I was unsure of on the same section, so assuming I get that wrong (which I probably will), I’d get about 3-4 questions wrong. What do you guys think -4 on the CR will amount to?</p>
<p>I joined to vent :D</p>
<p>ADHFLKASDHLAKFHALKJH. GRAMMAR IS EVIL :B I USUALLY GET -1 OR -0 BUT I THOUGHT THE REAL ONE WAS THE EXPERIMENTAL JUST BECAUSE IT WAS HARDER THAN THE EXPERIMENTAL ONE SO I WAS NONCHALANT TOWARD IT AND I GOT 5 NO ERRORS. FAIL FAIL FAIL. MATH… YOU SO CRUELLLL I MISREAD THE 6,8, X>90 TRIANGLE. GAH <em>HEAD SMASH</em> <em>HEAD SMASH</em> CR. you are fine. :)</p>
<p>/end vent. Thank you.</p>
<p>I really should have put all of my other stuff on the back burner for the week and come up with decent essay examples. Ugggh… it was so incoherent. And I’m pretty sure I didn’t do so hot on the actual Writing portion either… :S</p>
<p>i completely screwed up the essay. majorly bombed. i couldn’t think of any examples. i actually might get a 6 on it. and critical reading, my only strength, was AWFUL this time. i don’t want to even see my scores</p>
<p>Critical Reading: I panicked at first for the first three CR sections but finished strongly at the end (fairly confident that I got 20/20 for the last CR section). So 700 - 750.</p>
<p>Math: Forgot 6/9. ■■■. Probably 770 or 780, but I really don’t care. I already have an 800 in this section (from previous SAT)</p>
<p>Writing: I couldn’t fill up the two pages and almost ran out of time writing my 4th paragraph/conclusion. Probably 9 - 11. MC - never felt more confident in my life.
I’m praying for an 800.</p>
<p>venting is good for the soul…like chicken soup :D</p>
<p>First time taking the official SAT, essay time constraint was a rude awakening
Math - missed the stupid band leader 1, thought there were 4 bands instead of 5, -1 hoping for nice curve, 770-800
Writing - essay sucked, hoping for 9-11, mc -0 or -1, feeling 770-800
Cr - Bombed, forgot almost all my vocab, probably missed 6 - 10 hoping for a really nice curve. I want a 740, 750 but I’m probably going to get 670-720, I dont really care though as long as my math and writing turn out alright, I’ll just focus more on the cr when I take the sat for the second time</p>
<p>Bring it on essay prompt!. Result: none of my preplanned essay topics apply ■■■ or any books i have ever read for that matter.!</p>
<p>I’m actually gonna go the other way now and say what I’m happy about: I think I wrote the best essay of my life! It was brutally intense, I talked about how society needs to focus on what is essential to the survival of the human race, and I actually got to write “THE WEAK DIE AND THE STRONG SURVIVE!” Only without caps and the exclamation point, I felt like such a boss!</p>
<p>Guhhh I just hope I get at least a 2100 on this one… I did practice tests and I didn’t really improve… I got a 1900 on my March SAT and I keep getting 1900s on the practice tests! It sucks being really borderline on being eligible for elite colleges.</p>
<p>I have mixed feelings on this one. This was the second SAT I I’ve taken, and on the first one I got a 2220 (740 CR, 720 Math, 760 Writing). On that March test, I omitted only one math problem (the final grid-in). This time, I omitted one vocab question (the one with “benign” and “munificient” as options, it was number 6 for me), and 3 math problems (the only one I remember was the one with the graph, f(x) with the big curvy line and 5 variables between 0 and 1…da fwah?). So if I got the same number wrong, I did worse, because I skipped 4 times as many. But I feel like I guessed less and got fewer wrong this time, so I’m hoping for improvement in at least one subject so I can mix and match. What are the chances that I get, say, 1 wrong on math, with the 3 omitted, and still get over a 720? Is it plausible?</p>
<p>Also, I took a risk on the essay: I didn’t take a side. Instead, I qualified the contention, saying it depended on the goal of education. If the goal was to produce a more worldly and informed populace, then yes, creative arts are absolutely neccessary, but if the goal was to fuel our industry to compete with the rest of the world and enable citizens to get jobs and support themselves, than no it was not. Is this a major no-no, or can you pull that off if it’s well written enough? I’m not super worried because I scored so highly on the writing last time, but w/e.</p>
<p>Also, any cumulative score projections for me? I don’t know whether to vent or cheer!</p>
<p>I did it too!! For my math I was thinking the correct answer but my stupid hand wrote the wrong answers twice! Ruining my 800!!!</p>
<p>And for sentence completion I had the right answer for two of them and changed it!!! The crazier thing is i knew all the meaning of the vocab!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!</p>
<p>Don’t worry about math because of the one of sections is exiperimental:). As the for the essay, although you gave both sides of the arguement, picking one side and defending it would of been your best bet. I’m pretty sure that the readers are looking for you defend your position on why you agree or disagree on a topic. With that being said, your essay could still recieve a decent store depending on the coherency and overall content.</p>
<p>experimental? explain. i did notice it seemed like there was an extra math section…2 grid-in sections? i have no idea what any of this is about but when i came home and researched it i got worried there was some kind of glitch.</p>
<p>yeah, i’m regretting my decision, i bet i’ll get less than the 9 i got on the last essay. but most colleges let you mix and match sections, right? and the essay is only 30% of your grade, and I’m hopeful I was nearly perfect on the writing MC. Thanks!</p>
<p>Experimental is like, gratuitous section that they include to mindgame you, does not apply to the legit score that you receive.</p>
<p>I JUST WANT TO VENT THAT IVE BEEN PREPPING FOR SAT FOR TOO LONG</p>
<p>FFFF. im hoping to hit 2300+</p>
<p>All I want is a 2100. I am good at math. I am decent in CR and W. But I never have a good feel for how many I miss in CR/W.</p>
<p>So I’m a bit worried. But I also feel like my problem is so tedious and ridiculous that I shouldn’t even be thinking about it. However, I will share. </p>
<p>This time around, I made sure to go back over each section (I’m a super fast test-taker, and had at least five minutes left on each section), to reread each question and answer it again. Most of the time, my answers matched up. However, a few times, I noticed a discrepancy (or just a plan ol’ screw up by your’s truly) and changed my answer. Unfortunately, I hadn’t chosen the best pencil to use, and therefore the erasing was a bit smudged. Or a lot smudged. I tried to keep my new answers as dark as possible and hope that it will be picked up by the computer. I only did this a few times (at most, like, four), but I know that adding those mess-ups to the questions I already may have gotten wrong will not be good for my score (and I am most definitely not taking this again; this testing session was my all or nothing, besides my June test, I guess). Am I right to be worried? Or should I get over myself?</p>
<p>Other than that, I feel pretty good about yesterday. When I took the test in June, I had worked late the night before, and was super tired. This time, however, I went to bed early and wasn’t the least bit tired. I worked slowly, checked all of my answers, and wrote a fairly decent essay. I want to hit a 2000, so I guess we will see in a few weeks :)</p>
<p>

<p>Probably not. The question wasn’t as difficult as everyone makes it out to be, assuming you have a bit of knowledge about probabiltiy and statistics. My girlfriend told me about the question while we were on our way to lunch afterwards, and within about fifteen seconds, I asked her “was one of the choices 1/54?”</p>
<p>You had to realize you couldn’t just multiply (1/6)<em>(1/6)</em>(2/6). You had to take into account all possible dice combinations and figure out how many gave you 17 or 18. But I’m guessing you know this by now.</p>
<p>And only you would be panicked about not getting a 2300+.</p>
<p>2400 or i will suicide yay</p>
