<p>so im slightly confused- if i had three math sections that means one of my reading was experimental? </p>
<p>i thought the three math sections were pretty easy-
except that one w,x,y,z systems of equations problem
and there was the one with the volume of the cone with a height of 6 and radius 3- and a cylinder with the same measurements- and you had to find the depth of what the cones volume would be in the cylinder.
i messed that up i think. </p>
<p>the essay was crap. but i did what i could. </p>
<p>passages were fine- i thought the sea/ocean one was pretty straightforward… </p>
<p>gah someone please tell me what my exp. section would be then.</p>
<p>If you had 10 total sections, one is experimental, if you only had 3 maths then you did not have math experimental, although this was the June format, May and January had the same exact format, so assuming they use the same exact format (sections that are experimental) from test to test> I had experimental Math both in January and May, and both times it was section # 3 and it was the same for June. CB website still only has the June one, maybe by tomorrow or Monday it will be updated for this test</p>
<p>i know this has been asked, but does anybody know the experimental section. i had four CR sections. There was the 20 minute section second from last about the universality of science or something…but i doubt thats it. Its either the first, second or third one. does anybody know anything about this
thanksss</p>
<p>yeah the 25th so they’ll go straight to the colleges you sent your scores to for the EA and you’ll just have to send it to other colleges if you want before nov 1.</p>
<p>CRITICAL READING EXPERIMENTAL
i only had 3 critical reading sections…i don’t remember the breakdown but i had passages about the universality of science, the grandmother in the dark, the unreliability etc of history, the men in the boat, African Amer photography (may have been in writing section, can’t remember)…that’s all i remember, but hope that helps</p>
<p>Out of the 10 sections, only 9 are graded; the one that isn’t is used by the ETS so they can see how we do on different types of questions. Or something. It’s all for statistical purposes. The problem with that is we just don’t know which one won’t be graded, so we have to work through all of them >(</p>
<p>my sections went like this:
essay, math, reading, reading, math, reading, writing, math, reading, writing.
so i’m guessing my fourth section was the experimental since they usually put different subjects at least one section apart from each other… and that section was about the boat i believe… man i did well on that and horrible on the other ones =(</p>
<p>tcjables24: experimental is they just put it in but it doesn’t count towards ur score at all. it’s just for them to introduce new types of questions and see if it works well or w/e… you don’t even see wat u get on it so no need to worry about it. man i wish they’d exclude experimental… cuz it’s just making the test longer and the test takers more burned out/confused… =[</p>
<p>for the essay… i talked about ppl who made decisions that weren’t the norm of the time… does that count as original? hahahha</p>
<p>danggit i got the x+y+w=z question wrong… well i skipped it. how do u use it as a matrix? </p>
<p>eilatan175: u don’t need pre-calc to do the triangle prob. it was basically a 30-60-90 triangle plus a 45-45-90 triangle if u draw down an altitude line and it gives u the 10 so u can find that the answer’s 5sqroot3+5</p>
<p>crazypilovee: you can solve the w x y z system by simply adding all the 3 equations together - then you get 3z=6, all the rest are cancelled out.</p>
<p>My son took the test, so I don’t know what the essay question was about exactly–but I thought my son’s choice of who to write about on his essay was innovative;–he chose to discuss Osama bin Laden.</p>
<p>P.S. I’ve edited my own response so I don’t discuss the question in detail here.</p>
<p>Yeah I LOVED the math and the writing (although I probably missed 2 or 3)
but the 1st CR section was lame.</p>
<p>Aunt Sylvie? I don’t know what she liked about her home! Jeez.</p>
<p>And the science one at the end. It was like “what did the minority in part 2 feel about the … blah blah in part 1”. That was confusing. Because the ‘minority’ wasn’t angry or skeptical. They just acted upon stuff. Yeah I don’t know. Screw that question.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the Aunt Sylvie “ev-e-ning” question? I chose “she wanted to reveal a strange aspect about her aunt’s character,” but I think the last choice was pretty tempting too.</p>
