<p>Can someone remind me what the question with aggregate was…? I don’t remember that for some reason…</p>

<p>Also, the poetry sentence completion. I changed that to poems because poetry is singular.</p>

<p>The answer was 25. (5/6)180 = 150. 6 sections of the fan. 150/6 = 25.</p>

<p>@nicobella - Wow, I’m an idiot…that makes so much sense now that I have a clear mind. I guess my 80 in math is ruined. :open_mouth: But thanks for the explanation!</p>

<p>lol yeah i was so dumb i divided by 5 instead of 6!</p>

<p>The fans question was 25… But what about the error identification that was like “Although she wrote many blah blah blah, it is her musical compositions that are most praised” or something
Is “it is” correct or not? :o I know someone has already asked this but no one really answered! I put no error for this one but idk :o</p>

<p>answer is 25</p>

<p>The woman sentence completion one had a correct answer of passive…balk.</p>

<p>passive–accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance.</p>

<p>balk-- to suddenly show that you do not want to do something : to refuse to do what someone else wants you to do.</p>

<p>Thus: The woman was not accustomed to having a passive role at the school board meetings, so she did not balk when she was asked to speak on behalf of the parents.</p>

<p>It’s a double negative sentence, so it would be the same as saying:</p>

<p>The woman was accustomed to having an active role at the school board meeting, so she willingly spoke on behalf of the parents.</p>

<p>If you have an active role, like the woman did, you would want to speak as much as possible.</p>

<p>I think I put no error…</p>

<p>What did you guys all put for the cow questions? So much controversy…</p>

<p>Yeah I got passive…balk for that one too</p>

<p>Wait, math is great??? Can I have more context on that too.</p>

<p>darn, i got a bunch of wrong on math from dumb mistakes…</p>

<p>you guys think 5 wrong math, 2 wrong reading, 2 wrong writing could come out to a 214 total?</p>

<p>same i put no error</p>

<p>if I got like 8 wrong in CR and say 5 wrong in writing what would that be?</p>

<p>Can someone please explain the one math problem with students at lab during periods? I think I got that one wrong i got 140 something.</p>

<p>did anyone get “note an incongruity” for a CR question?</p>

<p>cant remember question lol</p>

<p>scores come out in december right?</p>

<p>@college talk, yeah it was that</p>

<p>oh and for the one about the third paragraph, in the math passage in cr… did you put main idea was to show how math brings out truths or similarity between signals or whatever… i think it was the second one bc he actually says nothing about math in the paragraph… its tricky cuz it only asks about that one specific paragraph not the whole thing</p>

<p>The passive/balk question didn’t have a ‘not’ in the first part so it wasnt that answer.</p>

<p>Yeah, I put the incongruity too.</p>
