***Official 2015 June SAT (US Only) THREAD***

@AmbitiousOrange Fixing sentences was the only one for Shakespeare. I too put that of.

So with only Mumbai and the dogs ones wrong i might be looking at only -2 for writing. Does anyone else remember any tricky ones?

Yeah I got the Mumbai one right, the dog breed one right, Shakespeare right, and I also put NE for the tree stump one. I think I put an error for the farmers market tho. I think there may have been an issue where it wasn’t clear what action “routinely” was referring to but I’m not 100% sure. I could have just illogically justified that on test day though since I tend to get really hesitant about putting NE.

Now that I’m thinking about it, I can’t remember if I ended up changing my answer to NE last minute. I think in total I had 2-3 NEs.

Yes, “Having trained for months, the marathon was easy for Jenna” wouldn’t be right because the way the sentence is structured makes it appear as if the marathon was the subject that trained instead of Jenna (Having trained for months, the marathon…)

@ekl2498 did you find the last W section really easy? i dont remember anything hard from there other than the Mumbai one.

@AmbitiousOrange look before in discussions. It’s discerned.

Oh wait there was also the “implied” error ugh I got that wrong too >:P

But Perspective shouldve been prospective right?

Also, did ppl say more fascinating or more accurate for the gut feeling/cards passage. Ive seen a lot of ppl say more fascinating, and even i thought about that one a lot, but i ended going with more accurate. This was because the previous paragraph talked about how it was the gut feeling was super helpful in making beneficial decisions, but the following paragraph said it was actually necessary to make said decisions - i thought that this was meant to be “more accurate”

@bobchillax I said fascinating idk the second experiment seemed more fascinating to me

Fascinating

is there a reason that you guys went with fascinating - was it just the author’s tone, because contextually, it seems like it should have been more accurate

@SaburosFather

I may be wrong, but I thought that implied thing was in the experimental.

No it was a writing question. I had a CR experimental. It was like she had not been implied in any wrongdoing. Apparently implied was the error.

@SaburosFather I did find the last writing to be easy. In fact, the writing portion was quite easy for me this time. The hardest questions for me was those last few on the identifying sentence errors part.

@SaburosFather haha thanks–just glad to help. -2 isn’t bad if you think you did well on the essay

For the fascinating one, does anyone remember the choices? I feel like I put fascinating but I just want to be sure.

@SaburosFather

Hm… I remember that, and I thought it was on my experiment section. I remember I put that as the error. Weird, I do remember that 2 questions after that there was another diction error with perspective, but I also clearly remember that after that question there was a passage about chicago and flower roofs… Not sure, i guess the test anxiety has messed with my memory.

Does anyone remember what section they had for the writing section? I believe my experimental was 2, while my other one was 5.

@defeat i was kinda frazzled by those two questions as I didnt even know the SAT tested diction. I supposed implied might have been used correctly in a way i was unfamiliar with, but now i know it was an error and it shouldve been implicated. For perspective buyers it iust seemed so out of place so I marked it wrong thankfully.

I put more fascinating too. I can’t remember the question that well, though, besides the fact that it was on the author introducing the passage with “Even more…” The last passage was deemed really interesting by the author, so it follows that the next study was even more interesting/fascinating.

What was the consensus on the marathon question???
