<p>OK good. How long until we get our results?</p>
<p>I think they said either 3-7 weeks or 4-7 weeks? You can check online for MC scores for an $8 fee starting 10/4 I believe.</p>
<p>i thought all the sections are fairly rushed... sat. was my second time taking it so i was prepared for that, ut it still sucked...</p>
<p>math seemed fairly easy except for the last 5 questions... i didn't remember anything about matrixes and i didn't even think that was a require high school topic? and that weird and or question think, i wasn't going to waste my time on that...</p>
<p>did not have enough time to finish the last section of the science...</p>
<p>some of the grammar stuff... i didn't like any of the answer choices... does anybody remember a question where the only answer choice that made any sense would have had the sentence have four ands in it? that was crap...</p>
<p>well good luck to everyone...</p>
<p>about the colons... it's definitely not word, word: word word. that makes absolutely no sense. colons aren't used like that. someone please back me up.</p>
<p>and for the "atop, on top, upon, top of" questoin.. i don't remember it. what was the genreal context?</p>
<p>and can someone confirm -3 for matrices?</p>
<p>roadrunner: you are correct about the colon issue.
the top of question was one of the more obvious ones, im sure you got it.
as for the matrix question, i put -4.</p>
<p>by any chance do you remember the letter to that? C? D?</p>
<p>I think the question was something like, here are 3 points, (1,2) (2,4) (-1,3).</p>
<p>That converted into a matrix is:
|1 2 -1 |
|2 4 3 |</p>
<p>After performing some translation, it ended up with something like:</p>
<p>|0 1 -2 |
|-4 -2 k |</p>
<p>I made up the numbers, but in this case, wouldn't K be -3?</p>
<p>Oh sorry, SEMIcolon, not colon. You can use it in listing things.
For ex. I like apples and oranges if they're ripe; vegetables if they're soft and cooked; breads, and sometimes nuts. Or something like that. Note the semicolon in the middle. I just remember reading something about it the day before the test.</p>
<p>For the matrices question, I picked -4... roadrunner, what is ur reasoning for -3?</p>
<p>i might have picked -4. i picked whatever was C.</p>
<p>-3 seemed perfectly logical because all the y-translations were by an increment of a constant number, and so i just subtracted w/e the constant was from w/e the y value was and got -3. or -4. C.</p>
<p>o... okie.. my thought process was very similar too..</p>
<p>semicolon isnt right. there was a preposition linking them as well, and you dont have a semicolon and a preposition together.</p>
<p>no there wasn't a preposition. I remeber thinking that the word "of" should have been repeated, but it wasn't, and so it made the other choices seem sort of awkward. The only choice that didn't make the absence of a preposition seem incorrect was the semicolon.</p>
<p>I don't think I put a colon, so I must have put a semicolon. </p>
<p>I said that the author was middle age.</p>
<p>I said "size up."</p>
<p>i put -3 for the matrices because the difference in each y-coordinate was -1 so 1 from -2=-3 which was answer C. i dont know how i remember that it was C but it was, i answered that one last.</p>
<p>also for the last question with the 18 degree sector in the circle, does anyone remember that answer. i put 1/10 pi cause that would be 18 d in radians but i think i might have misread the question.</p>
<p>Math was harder that usual. I usually have 15+ minutes left over after i'm done, I only had 5.
English and reading seemed easy.
I think I messed up on the second to last passage on science. Wierd lasers and protons and blah.</p>
<p>sir orlando "el duque" hernandez:</p>
<p>I completely agree with your answer and your reasoning for the matrices problem. Does anyone else?</p>
<p>Also, I dont remember getting 1/10 pi.</p>
<p>For the matrix problem, i foundthe area of the first triangle using the matrix solution (A=+/- 1/2 [matrix]) and then i did it for the second matrix too, except i plugged in the points for k. but yeah, i got -3.</p>
<p>sweeeet. my confidence has just soared. thanks chillaxin and elduque.</p>
