That's what I thought when I took it. In the end I only got into Brooklyn Tech.
I was forced to take it again like a few days ago (9th grade version, not the 8th grade test). I ended up finishing the test 30 minutes early. I think I have a decent chance of getting into Bronx Science.

I remember when I took it a few years ago. I got a 450 or something around there. I think it was just enough to get into Brooklyn Tech.

[quote=WolfGrey5s]there was this one question that's like
"X has 3 cars, he parked it, find out the order he parked it in, based on the information below"
the red car can be parked to the yellow car, but not next to the blue car
the blue car can be parked next to the red car but not next to the yellow car
i got confusedd.[/quote]

That's not even possible assuming there are 3 cars, 3 parking spaces.
In order to satisfy the first point, it has to be
|RC|YC|BC|
|BC|YC|RC|
The next point does not allow this.

[quote=Reasonable]@WolfGrey5s : really? Logical reasoning was the easiest part for me in the ELA
And math was actually okay[/quote]

Math is the easiest subject[/quote]

You can't even get a 1350... the topic's SHSAT not SAT.

[quote=Reasonable]Took it last year, same happened. What'd you score? Got a 443.

OT: dude the ELA was always the hardest part for me.. those scrambled paragraphs >.<[/quote]
i didn't have any prepartion, i didn't study at all, and the scrambled paragraphs were like really really easy. most of the questions had dates within them, so it was pretty easy.

Haven't taken the test yet, although the practice tests/questions in my SHSAT study books seem fair enough
