what was the answer to like the 6th question on the last writing section. i just remember the question having the word “being” underlined
@takemetochurch I hope so! I feel like I did worse than I did a year ago and I got a 760 last year
@Baikster I know my numbers were off but it’s still 83. The equation was:
$6.95 - $2.27 = $0.06 (x-5)
$4.68 = $0.06 (x-5)
78 = x-5
83 = x
Does anybody know the answer to the writing question (the 35 question section) that went along the lines of “I have observed this year that more people went to the local market I go to regularly…” Is the “have observed” incorrect or correct? I’ve been turning this one over and over in my head and can’t seem to figure it out
Anything else that people have to add on to this?

@VanillaBean22 Pretty sure it was regularly. It should’ve been annually.
@Chrysanthemum14 The Helvetica v. Baskerville Font Study, experimental
@Cheesusrice Darn! Thanks for the help
@Chrysanthemum14 I had one about the different genes in Squids/japanese fish
Why would it be annually? That makes no sense.
@Chrysanthemum14 FDR letter/speech on American Gov’t, experimental
@Chrysanthemum14 What’d you get for that question?
@vanillabean22 I put no error for that, I believe have observed is correct.
@dsfsadfsf the one with being underlined is correct i believ? might be a different question
@y0l0lsen I put no error as well
@y0l0lsen hmmmmm okay, I was choosing between no error and have observed. i might have overthought it though and convinced myself that “have observed” should have just been observed
@VanillaBean22 Either NE or something that came later in the sentence.
There is no way that regularly should be replaced by annually. There were already two diction errors that popped up in yesterday’s Writing section. It’s rare enough to get ONE diction error… a third seems like too much.
Was I the only one to get a writing section about Citizen Science? It made me absolutely furious. The layout was bizarre: One enormous essay where you had to edit each sentence
Are experimentals always obvious? Or did anyone get sections that seemed typical to the SAT as experimentals?
@CeruleanShadow
I had that type of experimental section on the November SAT. Looked exactly like an ACT English section…and it even came with graphs.
@MusicManatee I know the math one was extremely obvious for yesterday’s test since they’re completely switching it up for the 2016 SAT… I’m not too sure about reading and writing though. I couldn’t tell the difference between experimental and real test on my first SAT (yesterday was my second sitting)
