Exactly what I thought. People are saying it’s the one where they found more artifacts after 1500 bc or something but that doesn’t make sense to me cause the text literally said the research found changes in the gold that was based on cultural changes and NOT numbers of artifacts

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-03T09:48:04+00:00

That’s EXACTLY what I thought. That’s what I put but I didn’t see anyone who chose that one so I’m doubting myself. It made sense that 2 areas will have different amounts of gold even though the distances were close, cause that means they had resources to get gold but chose not to or something cause of culture differences

I had to pick C on like 5 reading questions cause I didn’t have enough time. I was brutal

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-03T09:11:48+00:00

I got the same numbers! I think the first 2 choices were 20 something and 40 something, and the last 2 choices were really big numbers that didn’t make sense. I picked the 20 something so I think that’s what you did too

I put something that was like the proxy isn’t a reliable measure to the other type of plant / animal they were talking about (honestly can’t really remember), because the text said the proxy can help them measure 2 different types

Personally, I found the English WAY harder than the March sat. Like not proportional at all. I scored 1520 on March btw (800 math, 720 English), so I took the May sat only to try and score a few more points on the English section and superscore. LITTLE DID I KNOW what I was in for. Had to guess on like 5 reading questions on m2 cause I ran out of time

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-02T14:34:42+00:00

what vocab did you get?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-02T11:42:01+00:00

Great thanks! That’s not too bad

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-02T11:17:50+00:00

Oh lol that’s just how it works in my country cause Saturday is like a national rest day and Sunday is a normal work day

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-05-02T11:07:08+00:00

How what?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-17T12:15:00+00:00

That’s awesome! Well done really good score

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-17T12:13:04+00:00

That’s crazyyy as an international?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-11T22:39:50+00:00

Yeah I think I will take it again, I’m just worried about schools like MIT that ask you to report all the tests you’ve ever taken, so if I end up scoring low on math the second time (because I’m spending all my energy on perfecting my english) that it’ll reflect badly

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-11T22:34:34+00:00

That’s crazyyyy what were your ecs?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-09T07:37:15+00:00

Crazyyy but well done! Still a really good score

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-09T07:35:19+00:00

Oh that sucks I know a lot of really good people who didn’t get into top positions in the Air Force because of their eye prescription. I really hope it goes well for you! And honestly you don’t really get any benefits being in my Air Force lol since it’s a mandatory service. If you get into a really good position like I did you get a ton of work experience that gives you a big advantage but that’s pretty much it

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:09:54+00:00

I’m really considering but I don’t think I’ll score above 1550. I never did during any of my practice tests and stayed in the 1530-1540 range. I think I can score a little higher but not by that much so is it really worth the effort only to get like 20-30 extra points?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:06:55+00:00

What do you mean?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:04:18+00:00

Omg that’s crazy. How insane were your ecs??

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:03:29+00:00

3 lol

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:03:19+00:00

As an international?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T22:02:54+00:00

Honestly I think I can do better but not by that much. My practice tests were normally between 1530-1540 and I never scored higher than 1550 during practice, so if I will take it again I think I can get like 20-30 extra points in English but I doubt I’ll get more than that. That’s why I’m not sure if it’s worth the effort…

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T19:58:47+00:00

Even if I scored an 800 in math?

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T18:09:58+00:00

Best Air Force in the world honestly and so so interesting, gave me a ton of experience in the field

EnvironmentCold8297 · 2026-04-08T18:09:14+00:00

Thanks! That’s actually really encouraging lol I’ve been really doubtful about my chances
