<p>8 wrong would probably be a 680-690.</p>
<p>yeah, i was about to put fundamental but i over-analyzed the question and put time-consuming instead… arghh
oh and also, do you remember what the ‘unflappable’ question was? or at least the answer choices?</p>
<p>unflappable was something about a woman who was always composed no matter what</p>
<p>would anyone kindly explain why it was “cheap motels” ?</p>
<p>pr7225,
“inexpensive hotels” is correct because all the other reasons listed were dealing with the economy of the trip. “inexpensive hotels” was the only answer that directly fit.</p>

<p>what was the question for unflappable</p>

<p>what was the question for “unflappable” and other answer choices?!</p>
<p>The “unflappable” question was about the person who was always composed.</p>
<p>what’s the scaled equivalent of 5 wrong?</p>
<p>do you remember the other answer choices?
for the unflappable question</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, I immediately just recognized “unflappable” as a good match and went for it. I do remember, though, that it was the first question in the right-hand column.</p>

Do you remember the question for the “Thought process distinctive to researchers” in the lab scientist passage?
Thanks</p>
<p>I still think that for the question on cosmology,</p>
<p>Scientists were “baffled” because their observations did not match the folklore theories of their ancesters</p>
<p>instead of</p>
<p>because they could not predict the movement path</p>
<p>the hotels one was tricky. i put faster travel because it talked about less toll booths, and i relate that to faster travel. im prolly wrong, judging from this thread’s responses.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Um, I think it was just something along the lines of, “What is the author describing in lines x through y?” I’m positive I put this as the answer, though.</p>
