#2

<p>did everyone have these 2 formats of tests? it seemed like ppl had more than 2 versions.</p>

#3

<p>i had the latter one for the Sat. test... YAY .. section 5 got removed</p>

#4

<p>was section 5 the one on the feminine vs masculine words?</p>

#5

<p>probably because I didn't have that.</p>

#6

<p>By the way, the October math section is taken from two sources (one from 2002 March, one from 2003 November), depending on which version you get; the math is pretty EASY this time; i pretty sure the top math curve will be (I'm at least 90% confident):</p>

<p>raw scale
60 800
59 790
58 770
57 750
56 730
55 720
54 710
53 700</p>

#7

<p>How did you know what exams they were taken from? Were these released exams??</p>

#8

<p>those are not released exams, the CB recycled them to the october test. well, i know for sure because my private SAT tutor told me. although he is still a junior in college, he has taken ALL SAT's (seven times a year) for the past four years. i guess he has good memory or something like that. he had received 12 1600's and 17 1590's........unbelievable!</p>

#9

<p>wow, how does he take all of them? does he take them even as a college student?</p>

#10

<p>acutally, according to the SAT rule; anybody who doesn't have a undergraduate diploma can take SAT as many times as he/she wish</p>

#11

<ul>
<li>math (regular 5-choice questions)</li>
<li><p>verbal (long reading passage)</p></li>
<li><p>equating (the one that doesn't count toward your score) ---> Is it the section about art illusion ? </p></li>
<li><p>math (QC and SPR questions)</p></li>
<li><p>verbal (2 reading passages)</p></li>
<li><p>math (regular 5-choice questions)</p></li>
<li><p>verbal (long reading passage)</p></li>
</ul>

#12

<p>did anyone that had the mvmmvmv remember if the question about how many 3 digit numbers 3 and 4 can make if you have to use each on at least once was in the exprimental second math equating section that didn't count or not?</p>

#13

<p>hoanginc, that was a math section. I clearly remember one of the questions for the 3rd equating section had to do with 7/10 of the area of a circle, and the circle had a triangle inscirbed in it, maybe that'll help you guys remember more about that section...</p>

#14

<p>for my section 5 verbal that I believe got removed, I had something about Chinese emigrants</p>

#15

<p>Aerospacegirl, it was not my math section, I had 4 verbal sections and clearly remember that I got 2 35 minute verbal sections.</p>

#16

<p>Omg, so the woodward passage is counted towards the verbal score?</p>

#17

<p>christinadwan do you have to post that everywhere?</p>

#18

<p>yeah christinadwan, stop putting your ridiculous claims everywhere</p>

#19

<p>my form didn't follow any of the above. i had my equating math first. and the second math section i took was the real thing. i'm pretty sure of this because the first math i took was super easy, but the second one i took was harder (and contained the infamous 15pi, 8pi question). it kinda sucks because i thought for sure that the second math would be experimental, so i took my time until i realized it was harder so it was the real thing. o well.</p>
