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

did you guys get 2 No Errors in a row in the identifying sentence errors (35 section)? It was the choreographers trope and the one about the books being sold ??

Was there a question about the unimportance of details, and another about being uninterested in details??

HELP I TOOK THE TEST TODAY ON A SCHOOL DAY I WANT TO SHARE ANSWERS

i wish i could have done that. You literally have all the answers at your disposal.

@CCswami I’m pretty sure CB doesn’t reuse tests in the U.S.
@dominican809 What were your CR passages about?

8 days left. :smiley:

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.

So far I know I got 3 wrong in CR…I put dainty instead of finicky, despair instead of unease, and I missed one of the Atlantis passage questions…can someone jog my memory on what exactly was the question? It had something to do with determining whether the guy who wrote the whole book contributed to that particular mythology or not…and if possible list the other answer choices. Thnx!

@JuicyMango I’m guessing you’re referring to the question that asked how Plato creating the myth affected it. The answer was he had little effect on its popularity. Can’t remember the other choices sorry

@IneffableMind: Thank you, that was the question I was referring to. I think I got it wrong though…I only remember putting something with"discussion" in it, like just the discussion of the myth in the book helped its popularity.

Oh yeah and I also remember why I put that. I think in the passage it mentioned something like “the extensive discussion of the myth in Plato’s book helped its popularity” but the test was so long ago, I may be imagining things.

I don’t think they said that but I remember putting the answer because the passage said something like “Plato created the story BUT(wasnt actually in caps but it’s what triggered my answer) the story was mainly spread by word of mouth.”
“extensive discussion” sounds familiar but I’m pretty sure they didn’t directly say that it helped the story’s popularity.

one week

@IneffableMind Not true, I took the SAT in December 2014 and apparently certain sections of it were identical to some of those used in the November 2013 SAT.

Also I think this math was easy compared to other SAT’s. I have taken the SAT 3 times and this was by far the easiest math of the 3.

what time next week will they be out?

@doodlesack414 the 24

early morning next Thursday. The exact time depends on what time zone you are in.

What happened with Collegeboard site? I found it is down. Maybe they released the score early?
