After seeing this post, I googled “SAT experimental section”. In spring 2017, some kids who did not take the essay got a 20 minute section after the Math with Calculator section. College Board says it does not count towards the score. They are testing new types of questions. That being said, it was suggested that kids don’t just blow it off. I read something about, if the student does well on the rest of the test and then bombs the extra section, it might be a red flag to CB that the test wasn’t a good one. I cannot even imagine how they would determine that.

S19 isn’t home yet from the test so I don’t know if he got this section. I had no idea it even existed to warn him about it. At least it was at the end of the test so it shouldn’t have affected the first four sections of the real test.
