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

@Chrysanthemum14 Oh I had the same one but I thought it was difficult lol. I could only come up with one solid example and the other two weren’t very strong.

@idislikethesats I said to leave it because I thought it added useful info about why baby carrots became so popular. But you could be right, I was really conflicted over that one

@royalblood are you asking about the one where the minimum was 5?

@lilypippili which essay prompt did you have?

@y0l0lsen 1) correct 2) correct 3) are you asking about the brain one? if so, the answer was no physical body changes. what question are you referring to?

@idislikethesats I agree that the paragraph still made sense without it, but I think that it provided helpful–– if not totally necessary–– insight into WHY they became popular. And what do you mean that it needed to be fixed?

I just remember the sentence talking about the parents liking it but it added something at the end about the kids liking it too and I thought something about it was grammatically incorrect. Wish I could remember the sentence. I’m probably wrong as it seems like everything said keep it the same

@16elir good news on the 2 corret :smiley: the 3rd one was in the maoi passage also. it was asking what culd be inferred from a set of lines and the lines were in passage 2 saying “every year scientists experimented on the base. one example is ____ who damaged the base with his experiments”

What were the other choices for the question where a choice was that the citizens helped?

@y0l0lsen do you remember any of the options?

@lilypippili u had the essay about listening and I talked about George Washington and the Model UN club I’m in. I couldn’t think of any books but some of my friends talked about lord of the flies which was a great example

@16elir I had the prompt about listening vs speaking

@idislikethesats those are good examples. well at least I can superscore my old writing score, I don’t think I did very well this time around

I had conflicting loyalties
I used great Gatsby, brave new world, and America during Napoleonic Wars

@y0l0lsen
the answer you selected was, “take into account what the MODERN natives said?”

Did the passage talk about modern natives? I remember them talking about some 1955 people imagining that the statues moved by themselves.

Idk about this one though. I’m most likely wrong :(. What were the other choices?

@EasyNotSoMuch123 was that the question “what did the first passage consider that hte 2nd didnt?” or was that the question “what did the people in the first passage treat the natives like”

@EasyNotSoMuch123 The passage infers that it is legend/folktale

this is late… but ohyeah xD whoops the problems a bit screwy in my head right now

@EasyNotSoMuch123 - I chose that answer too. I’m pretty sure that modern natives said that the statues moved themselves, which is why the guy chose the experiment that he did.

I also had conflicting loyalties:
I said yes they can be maintained and used Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, The Industrial Revolution (Clara Lemlich + Blancke and Harris), and the Napoleonic Wars

Does anyone remember the second to last math fill in about the measure of angle x? I can’t remember the three equations given but I think it was something like 3x, something y, and 5x-7y maybe? And it was two intersecting lines

@idislikethesats x = 40 y = 20

I have no idea what question we are talking about… If we’re talking about the thing passage 1 talked about, I didn’t think the 1955 natives were modern.

Idk though. Maybe I read it wrong:(

Yeah I think you’re confused. They were modern compared to the natives who actually built the statues and everything, and plus, the passage wasn’t written today, it was probably written around 1955. anyway, the point was that one theory took the natives’ stories into consideration and the other didn’t.

@2400ismygoal1 btw I got a response from collegeboard. They just directed me to that link someone posted earlier:
