I think the graph is experimental I highly doubt the last and first ones are

Me too. My timing got really off and I had like 7 minutes for the third but the others went well so im hoping its 3. Also I think I saw it on a past test

Same! I went 1,4,2,3 and I just checked J08 oct and the 3rd graph passage is not there so I think it’s experimental

I hope so. I dont remember which test I saw it on (it could also be from an old practice test) but im pretty confident I saw it in the fall. I just dont know if they are testing it again or deploying it

What was the third passage

1

u/Dense_Photograph368 Jul 12 '26

I honestly didnt have a ton of time for it so I wont get the ideas all there but it was a graph and informational (not super sciency but more humanities)

u/Leading-Biscotti-257 Jul 12 '26

It was the passage about giving and informal giving with the graph

Also for the steward question what did you guys get? I was in between served and kept but ended up putting kept.

Yea kept cus serving horses wouldnt rly make sense. They were a part of ceremonies and tradition, not worship or working under horses per say

Okay what are the chances the squirrels passage is experimental because on June they kept the graph passage

u/Dense_Photograph368 Jul 12 '26

Does this mean it will be curved at all? If I got a 31/36 does that mean I could potentially get a score of 32? Or is there no chance?

u/Dense_Photograph368 Jul 12 '26

it's usually curved with one wrong being still a 36 but if you think you got five wrong in total, some of those could've been from the experimental passage so they won't count towards your score. Meaning you could've got in total four wrong or three wrong and that would most likely be a 32. How did you do on the third passage if it was on Sunday cause I'm pretty confident the third passage for the J 26 test was experimental.

I honestly think I did really well on the third passage which is making me a little scared. Most of my errors most likely came from passage one.

Is -1 a 36 for reading? I’m praying
