What were the choices in order of the trapezoid question. I remember thinking to negate the original slop but I can’t remember if I chose 5/3.
I think there was another choice that was slightly better than the helping one…I can’t remember it tho. If I remeber correctly he wasn’t necessarily trying to help the amoebas (or whatever they were), he just felt that he was so big compared to them that he was in another world so to speak…like they were just so distant I guess. That’s a bad way to put it but you know what I mean.
I might have gotten it wrong.
@TheEpic2401Man thanks.
If I got the gullivers one wrong, I’m definitely not getting an 800
What attempt # was this for you guys?
Attempt #3
I was sick 1st attempt and the 2nd attempt was the dreadful June 6th SAT.
I assume this was your final attempt, my final will be november, can explain what you’ve learned from taking it 3 times? Especially like what was different between the second time and third time??
score prediction?
-2 math
-3 CR
-2 Writing
12 essay
btw this was my first time taking it…should i take it again in november or december?
@TheEpic2401Man 780 CR 760 M 800 W
guys?
@Hermit9 isn’t -2 on math usually 740?
My answer was something about shipwreck. There was a footnote defining a term as a “shipwreck”. Many others, that were on this page last night, reaffirmed this answer. I really hope it’s right.
Sorry this has been said like 40 times but what was the consensus about the ptolemey one ?
@Pghimire I put shipwreck as well, though many people have dismissed it I still think it’s correct tbh.
What did you put for the one about the teacher where she said she calues the overall work but yet still nags her students on details?
@TheEpic2401Man Yes this is my final attempt.
CR has gotten significantly easier for me. I’ve gotten drastic increases in scores without studying. I have no idea why lol. One of the things I have noticed is that there is no need to speed read like you have to for AP Lang. You will have sufficient time if you read the passage normally and you will have a greater comprehension–you’ll have a greater understanding of the passage which makes questions that are a little more implicit easier. I didn’t think this would work but this time I pretended that I was very interested in the passages. It definitely made the process easier in my opinion and helped with understanding.
Math has gotten slightly easier, but I’ve always been a math person. You just notice things they ask and get used to the type of thinking you need. Also, you realize the type of errors you make. For me, it wasn’t that I couldn’t figure the problems out, it’s just that I would make simple calculation errors or misread the problems. The only studying I did was some problems in the blue book the night before and I read over some of the text in the beginning of the book. Also, if you have time left, attempt to view your work for every problem. I had significant time left over on this SAT and could have been looking for mistakes; I did nothing and it turns out I made 2 stupid errors.
The writing has never been my thing. I get 10 essays, but the identifying sentence errors always gets me. I could have studied harder for that but never found the time. I would do major practice for that until you get good–I’ve heard writing is easy to increase scores if you really practice.
Lastly, if you know a section is 100% experimental, don’t waste your energy on it. It’s useless doing that.
@TheEpic2401Man Depends on the curve. I’ve had -2 740 and -3 740.
@TheEpic2401Man Also, you do NOT need literary, historical, scientific, or any scholarly-sounding examples to get a 10 essay.
I’ve never done that and have gotten straight 10s.
All my examples are hypotheticals lol. I just use really high-level vocabulary and sentence structure in my essays and they seem to like it.
I got a CR experimental section and man! that was hard! Most of the passage questions were generalized and I had to read the entire thing before I could answer a single question!
