***October 2015 SAT (US Only) Thread***

@ALibertarian I don’t consider myself particularly stubborn about being wrong, and will not question my other wrong answers, as those are entirely my fault. However, every dictionary I’ve tried has listed finicky and dainty has synonyms. If only primary definitions were tested, I would wholeheartedly agree with you, but since the SAT emphasizes tertiary definitions, dainty would work equally well. I’ve never seen the Collegeboard offer two answer choices that were synonyms, so I am hoping this is actually a mistake.

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.

How would we know if our petition was successful?

@rahulk For future reference, just use college panda’s calculator. It says your scores are likely 720 CR, 680 Math, 760 writing, 2160 composite. Congrats, that’s a great score!

Is the answer to the first college dorm question something like “the experience will be a surprise to many, but my rommate won’t ebe one of them” ?

@Zasdil11 thats what i put, crossing my fingers

@Zasdil11 I thought it was the other way… I remember that one did not make that much sense in context

Thanks @thetex and @ambitionsquared

Final questions before the cancel date. Did anybody get 5 b’s in a row in writing? I know I got sufficiently enough wrong I hope one of them was this problem. And also one of the math problems answer was 555? I don’t remember this was this a grid in? Finally about the sophisticated and fundamentally flawed question, was one of the answer choices grounded by the knowledge given at that time or something along those lines because I put that

@Marshmallow99 I think other answer choices have “them” and only the answer I mentioned explains “them”- the people who are about to meet their roomates

@JuicyMango would you like me to petition as well?

did people put ADEPT or AMPLE for the microscope passage. It was describing his view.

Also, what was the answer to the paradox question? And was it ominous or general confusion? If someone could answer these three that would be lovely.

Thanks so much

Adept and ominous

Are we sure it is ominous? I think it is genuine confusion. What about the paradox? What was that full question and answer

@joeweller Yes, the more the merrier.

Can someone answer #2107???

I got ominous and paradoxical

Was paradoxical an answer i thought that was the question

It was the question what was the answer???
