Does anyone else think the sinuous question can be petitioned? What about dainty vs. finicky, is that fine or could that also be petitioned?
Hi.
For the essay, my thesis was “through the well-known classic novel by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and through the history of Great Britain, it is shown that young people should not only perfect one talent, but develop many.”
I mentioned the name of the author (Fyodor Dostoyevsky) in the thesis, but I don’t think I mentioned the book title (Crime and Punishment) in my body paragraph’s topic sentence. If I forgot to mention the book title, will it affect my essay score by a lot? I was hoping to get around a 10.
It definitely can be petitioned. Even if you put the wrong choice anyways, and petition for a choice other than your choice, and the question gets removed, you won’t get any points off for it.
@grunterbaum1
It was something like “With 200,000 just in Montreal, ice rinks are quickly becoming a ____ entity”
Ubiquitous was correct
So the Art Noveua thing wasn’t no error?
Thanks dude/dudette! @thetex
@JuicyMango I definitely think dainty vs finicky could be petitioned. Or maybe my bias (chose dainty) is making me delusional lol. I already sent a complaint, I would advise you do the same. I already made two mistakes (choosing origins and determined to push students) so I need to get this vocab question overturned for an 800.
@MALABARCOAST2014 Yeah based on past curves I don’t think it’s likely at all given it was so easy. I remember on my last SAT I just skipped one question and it bumped me down to a 750.
Is college confidential on the general consensus that the correct answers were provide a rationale and emphasizes relative unimportance of details?
@ambitionsquared: I also already missed 2 questions, so if I can successfully petition this question I can still get an 800. What do you think about the sinuous question? Do you think it is able to be petitioned due to the reason @thetex has provided? “Which” being ambiguous sounds pretty unfair to me, and I see his reasoning. Also, how do you petition a question, I’m clueless :P.
@JuicyMango Which two have you missed? I went on the college board, logged into my account, and went to the bottom right in which you’ll find “give us feedback”. Also, I’m not sure about sinuous. I chose no error, which still seems correct to me, but if you can find a valid reason, I’m sure you have a shot.
so you guys think we’ll get a harsh curve for the math section?
@JuicyMango
not allowed to provide links, so…
go to google and search up “email collegeboard sat”
pick the first option, then write them an email on why that question was unfair.
@catepillargiraf no. I think -1 will be 780-800, since this time math was relatively hard.
Depends on the link. In this case it’s OK
Can someone give me a score?

For the grammar section with the roommate, what was the consensus on the question about “the experience will be a surprise”?
I don’t think it should be petitioned. There are rarely ever any two true synonyms, as there are always nuances in meaning, and in this case finicky was the more concise answer in context.
Does anyone remember the question about the sum of 3 positive numbers is 32,… evens/odds/evens and odds? What was the answer?
