<p>@ballet19 Yes that one was a grid-in, the answer was x = 36.</p>
<p>@tobester I thought it was confused because at first he is clearly bewildered by the quietness and questions himself… awe would be more like feeling reverential and inspired with wonder i guess…</p>
<p>I have the text of the google doc, but it won’t let me past it here because it’s too long. I can try to make another google doc that can’t be edited so we can just have that too.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the questions were for number 18-20 on the math section because I’m scared I skipped one on accident and shifted my answers :/</p>
<p>wait so is it unduly negative or the other one that i don’t remember? Sorry I am really confused. </p>
<p>I also put awe, because of the way he was talking about how surprisingly quiet it was and how the city was like a “superorganism.”</p>
<p>@sleepdeprived4 what country is the guy from the immigrant passge from? It says in the doc I think. </p>
<p>@SAT1234567890 awe definitely makes more sense to me, but we’ll see.</p>
<p>The hardest passage for me was the one about the bees. The one where it asked why the conclusion could be drawn that the bees weren’t repelled by the fragrance alone…was the answer because they were allowed to pollinate beetle free normal flowers and beetle free enchanced flowers or whatever?</p>
<p>Ok, did anyone understand that freaking question about the guy who lied about his fish???</p>
<p>Ethiopia @humbugs </p>
<p>@ballet19 Yeah I remember that grid in math question. The answer was 18. How you did it was this: There were 3 squares meet and you know that since they are squares, each of their edges have 90 degrees. You also know that there are 360 degrees in total since it is in a complete circle, so you multiply 90 X 3, since there are 3 squares and you get 270. Then you subtract 360 - 270 and you are left with 90 degrees. So you know that 2y=x and there are 2 x’s, so you do y+2y+2y=90, then 5y=90, then you divide 5 from both sides and you get 18. And to check if you do 18 X 2(18) X 2(18), you get 90.</p>
<p>There needs to be a new doc there’s a persistent ■■■■■ in the current one</p>
<p>@tobester yeah I think it could be valid also, but on CR a lot of answers seem really close. I feel like it just depends on what college board was feeling or what can be “proven” better by the text.</p>
<p>@humbugs He was from Ethiopia. The passage was actually from this book: <a href=“Cutting for Stone - Wikipedia”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_for_Stone</a>. I was surprised the SAT used the passage, because the book is really well known, I had read it before the test.</p>
<p>@tobester i had no passage about bees… perhaps that was you experimental?</p>
<p>I’m trying to find the immigrant passage online, but I can’t find it :(</p>
<p>edit: thanks @sleepdeprived4 !!</p>
<p>I swear the fish and the directional squares questions were written while someone was high</p>
<p>@tobester Well you kind of just said it yourself. He was in awe because of the quietness and the passage clearly stated that he was in shock. It never really said he was confused though. That answer is a distortion. You should just really think it through and pick the better answer and that was he was in awe.</p>
<p>@Jellybae what is an experimental exactly? Haha I’ve been hearing that word all day but I’m not sure what it means</p>
<p>@sleepdeprived4 Wait…do you remember if the question was asking for x or y? Because I think I might have solved for y and put 18. If the question was asking for x, then I made a careless error and solved for y by accident and forgot to double it.</p>
