If you wish for SAT to keep your scores on file permanently, you may request this from the testing agency. Both ACT and SAT scores will never be shared with colleges unless the student requests this.

17 watch your time 65 minute section 52 questions 1 minute 10 seconds/? do NOT read the passage first 1. Read & underline relevant information in? s 2. Scan the for what? s are asking 3. Answer question without looking at answer choices Reading Rules some key features (p. 2) words in context command of evidence problems grounded in real world context analysis in science & history US founding documents & the great global conversation click here know the directions no penalty for guessing own the test

18 Think about it this way IMAGINE TWO CHILDREN PLAYING TAG IN A DEEP, DARK forest. Who s gonna win? A speed demon from the big city who doesn t know his way around and keeps tripping and falling? Or a slower-footed tyke who grew up in the forest and knows every root, twist, and cranny of the forest? Here s the point: Knowing the landscape can be very helpful. If the SAT s the forest, you ll have to know the nooks and crannies of the test. Source:

23 Gridding-In Answers Mark no more than one circle in any column. Only answers indicated by filling in the circle will be scored (you won t receive credit for anything written in the boxes located above the circles). It doesn't matter in which column you begin entering their answers; as long as the responses are recorded within the grid area, you ll receive credit. The grid can hold only four decimal places and can only accommodate positive numbers and zero. Unless a problem indicates otherwise, answers can be entered on the grid as a decimal or a fraction. Fractions like do not need to be reduced to their lowest terms. All mixed numbers need to be converted to improper fractions before being recorded in the grid. If the answer is a repeating decimal, students must grid the most accurate value the grid will accommodate.

24 Math Section Know your directions! Each section will begin by showing where you should be on your answer sheet. The directions will be the same in practice as they are on the test. Don t take the time to read directions.

59 Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. Even scientists know that absolute objectivity has yet to be attained. It's the same for absolute truth. But, as many newspaper reporters have observed, the idea of objectivity as a guiding principle is too valuable to be abandoned. Without it, the pursuit of knowledge is hopelessly lost. Adapted from "Focusing Our Values," Nieman Reports Assignment: Are people better at making observations, discoveries, and decisions if they remain neutral and impartial? Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
