<p>Did anyone else have trouble with the “identifying sentence errors” questions (somewhere around questions 21-34) in the writing section? I skipped a lot of them because I didn’t want to have too many no errors.</p>
<p>ax^2+bx+c=50
x^2+bx +c=0
Answer was 3</p>
<p>Triangle split question was 9
By area it was (12<em>9)/(4</em>3) three to remain similar.</p>
<p>The square pyramid answer was 100+50sqrt3 other choices were 200, 100+25sqrt3, and two others that used 150 rather than 100 (you would get that if you counted the square sides as though it was a cube)</p>
<p>Simile is correct…sorry. </p>
<p>anyone remember the other 5 sentence completions/ i assume they were really easy since I can’t remember them!</p>
<p>@jjatty</p>
<p>I can vaguely recall that one of the SC answers was voluntary.</p>
<p>sorry but why is it simile?</p>
<p>because a simile is a comparison using “like” or “as” and the line you quoted specifically say the math functions AS… Therefore it is a simile…</p>
<p>an analogy can use like or as, too. and that was a choice.</p>
<p>also, it wasn’t directly comparing math to those things, it said math could function as those things.</p>
<p>I went with simile, but I think the question was just confusing in general. This sat better have a good curve!</p>
<p>i agree! this was my first one so i dont know how difficult it was relative to others, though.</p>
<p>Also, to illustrate my point a little more:</p>
<p>Example: A spoon functions as a tool for eating.</p>
<p>“as” can also show purpose, not just comparison.</p>
<p>To me, the confusing part is that “as” shows purpose, yet it seems like an analogy almost because it says it functions “as” a telescope or a sieve.</p>
<p>Is it actually possible there could be a -4 curve</p>
<p>i think that the curve will definitely be generous after seeing what people have said here about the difficulty</p>
<p>Maybe it’s just us worrying…
How low can the curve be though</p>
<p>Reading was not that hard… There’s no way it’s -4 80. no way. it could possibly be -2 80, but it’s more likely that it’s -2 78 and -3 (after the .75 deduction) 75 or 74. </p>
<p>Writing curve will probably be average</p>
<p>Math curve will be harsh.</p>
<p>hum, i guess i dont remember analogy being an answer choice</p>
<p>anyone remember any others?GRID IN’s:</p>
<p>1) 6
2) 875
3) 7 (Perimeter triangle 24,sides 10, x, x. x = 7)(
4) 1/9
5) 3/8 (about books)
6) 36 (3 + 1/x = 9.Therefore, x = 1/6.x^-2, which would be 36).
7) 25- (Fan angle degrees)
8) 1999 (x+y/x-y) greatest value
9) 4
10) ax^2+bx+c=50
x^2+bx +c=0
Answer was 3</p>
<p>Multiple Choice:</p>
<p>1) Triangle split question answer was 9
By area it was (12<em>9)/(4</em>3) three to remain similar.</p>
<p>2) The square pyramid answer was 100+50root3</p>
<p>3) 44%</p>
<p>5) .67 the one between like 5/8 and 11/16?</p>
<p>7) k=anything between 3 and 5</p>
<p>8) 7 people both newspapers and candy</p>
<p>9) 124 different people</p>
<p>10) 180 different four-digit numbers</p>
<p>11) x=180-y-z</p>
<p>What was 1/9 again? Which question</p>
<p>9,3,1 find the fith number.Each term after the first term is equal to its previous term divide by 3</p>
<p>what was the question for answer 6.cant remember it and something like I II III one HOPE THAT I CAN GET QUESTIONS</p>
<p>Oh ya. thanks I got 1/9</p>
<p>@jasoncaa1 It was 2 more than 4 times a number is 26. x=6.</p>
