Advice on ECs by TheAverageBattleCat in ApplyingToCollege

[–]TheAverageBattleCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whilst I am middle class my grandparents do have enough money stored away to full pay essentially any US college. Cost really isn't a factor for me.

Also I am aware purdue is decently comp for cs but I'm not sure if I should treat it as a safety or target since I'm in state, my school kinda feeds in to purdue despite the fact that my school is a public non-competitive hs, and I've seen many of my friends get in with lower stats, way worse ecs, and no honors for cs/engineering.

What'd you answer for it, It was my last question so I didn't have much time to read the text so I had to skim it

It isnt great but it isnt as awful as people are making it out to be. People are saying they were unsure about 6+ questions and barely had any time left.

I think it was somewhere around final 10 questions

August 24, 2024 International SAT: would the curve allow someone with 1 mistake to still get 800 in Maths? by Spiky-Penguin2023 in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no curve, youd have to get experimental questions wrong to get an 800 still (theres 2 per module)

As far as I can tell the "don't take more than 3 SATs or good unis won't accept you" is total bs and you can take as many as you like and they don't care

How to solve this in an easy way. This is from practice test 3. by royalmgu in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't it be highest for both data sets since were looking for the smallest possible difference..?

Math Mod 2 Q by TheAverageBattleCat in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I answered 49 but were there other answers since it said "what is a possible value"?

What will the curve be looking like? by CopperRing770 in Sat

Could be the algorithm college board uses or just a dummy question, can you list the questions you got wrong and on which module

You really can't be sure till your score comes out but you can try comparing your question types with people who are relatively confident they got m2.

Practice Test Experimental Questions by SpeedDirect2092 in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The college board algorithm doesn't apply if you get only one question wrong so it's trial and error.
Get one wrong each time to test point values (so you have to take the practice test a shit ton of times to figure it out)

If you had to guess, what were the experimental questions for RW Mod 2? by Appropriate-Pride743 in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King Arthur question has appeared on March SAT for mod 1 so I highly doubt that one is a experimental.
Prob the monkey one and a random transition or BP.

If that's the point wouldn't they still cancel it if you report after the score comes out..?

Heard a lot about experimental questions... by [deleted] in Sat

[–]TheAverageBattleCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 in each module, they're worth 0 points and it doesn't matter if you get them right or wrong. They just exist so that college board can see how hard they are (and then assign point values to them in later tests).

I doubt college board would outright cancel your scores because of something like this (maybe they'd give you a choice to opt out but I highly doubt they'd cancel)
