<p>Yeah they tried to screw me over there. First time I saw the split passage thing. Anyway… on the math section, there was a question about the length being like 3 longer than the width and it had a perimeter of 36… does anyone know the right answer to that one? It seemed like a pretty simple question but whatever I was setting up did not work.</p>
<p>i put 9 i think</p>
<p>I think it was 5</p>
<p>Did anyone else think it was weird that they used letters to indicate a certain point in an English passage rather than number? And for science was it: increasing increasing? Or was it increasing decreasing as others have stated?</p>
<p>I can’t believe that when I was doing the science test, I noticed I had forgotten to bubble a question in on the math… when math was really the only section I was really trying hard to improve… but I told myself I was going to put down the letter “D”, so we’ll see in a few weeks if putting that down would have gotten me a higher score on math. I hope not.</p>
<p>@Tyler3418 It was increasing decreasing if I remember correctly</p>
<p>Dumb question but does (3x)^2 simplify to 9x^2 or 3x^2?</p>
<p>Since 2w+2l=perimeter, 2w+2(2w+3)=36</p>
<p>That’s what I did </p>
<p>@Ctesiphon I think it was l = 2w + 3 and asked for the width, and I put 5 as well.</p>
<p>@Tyler3418 I thought that was a little weird as well.
I think it was increasing - decreasing. Or decreasing - increasing, I can’t remember.</p>
<p>is the curve predetermined and what passage was the increasing-decreasing?</p>
<p>@warrenfb9 it simplifies to 9x^2 since the (3x) is in parentheses, it’s all squared. If there were no parentheses it would simply be 3x^2</p>
<p>The best curve for science that I’ve ever seen is 59-60, 57-58, 56, for 36,35,34 </p>
<p>For math*, not science</p>
<p>In the red book there’s maths where you can get 14 wrong and get a 30.</p>
<p>@warrenfb9 what test and what page?</p>
<p>There was one question about the “well defended prey” question in the natural science passage. Was the answer “hard shell” or lethal bite? Not sure I understood the question correctly.</p>
<p>hard shell. what about the math tree question #60 with the 300 feet or watever</p>
<p>50 I think</p>
<p>i got 60 </p>
