SAT November

Who else took it today?

 

my brother is taking it tomorrow

 

Few of my friends will be taking it tomorrow; best of luck to everyone. I really should start studying for my test in May.

 

Oh they do it tomorrow in the US/America?

I just got home from taking it a little while ago, lol.

 

just got home from it , what was your essay topic? mine was "Should people be more accepting of mistakes?" and my experimental was critical reading with a dual passage.

 

^
Isn't it the same essay for everyone?

My packet had math as dummy.

Where do you live?

 

oh i live in china, i go to an international school. I think the essay topic varies by region. So i wouldnt be able to give it to my friends in the states

 

^
That would explain the similar titles then.
I live in South Korea, so the regions align.

Let's see if anyone posts tomorrow, lol.

 

yea lol , how was it for you? I also took january and feburary. I think this was easier out of the last two

 

I took my previous one in March, I think.

I didn't study for it, and hadn't studied for this one.
Only need 2,100 score to get into the college I want, and I figure I can do that without studying.

 

:O dam, i got a 1930 last one . I need around a 2100 too. Where are you applying

 

College in my hometown in Germany.

They're not very selective in the first place, but a decent SAT score does speed things up. (Since I'll be coming in as an international student anyway)

 

Ye, I got the same topic and along with reading as experimental.
I think I did alright:noworry:

 

Where do you live, Gilly?

Let's confirm David's hypothesis.

 

Yeah they took the test today around 8:00 AM here in the US ( West Coast ). That's strange you took it yesterday tho, as I thought that everyone worldwide took it at the same time.

 

so do you live in Seoul? if you do, do you go to SFS? I go to Shanghai American school btw. Also i think my theory should be right, otherwise people taking the test around the world could give essay topics to other people

Not Seoul, no, but one of the other Korean International Schools.

Also, couldn't we just discuss the some of the more difficult problems of the test and not just the essay?
Like, say, "when you get to the problem with the parabola and the given x-intercepts, the answer is C" ? Isn't that just as dangeous as sharing the essay?

I don't understand why everyone doesn't take it at the same time.

 

hmmm maybe cuz, most likely you can memorize at max a few lol. unless u had photographic memory you wouldnt pose much of a threat. but you give someone the essay topic, they can prepare ahead of time and write the perfect essay.

 

The answer really was C, lol.

+ There were only a few somewhat challenging math problems, so I think it's a definite unfair advantage if someone is given them in advance.

True about the essay though, besides the fact that it's not really too hard to score 10+ on it. Just fill the two pages and you're guaranteed 8 or 9.

 

yea lol, i got a 11 on my last essay :S getting a 12 is pretty much just luck lol. I think the parabola question was really the only tricky one, the writing section stumped me a bit. I found the reading passages not too hard. the one about Venice was kinda weird
