<p>Exp. sections:
Writing thorton marshall?? (I had that and the museum)
CR--disneyland, whale question, crazy archaelogist
M--question with three chairs and people sitting next to another</p>

<hr>

<p>What were the questions corresponding to numbers 9, 10 and 11 on the grid-in?
Also, what was the similar triangle question with answer 6?</p>

882

<p>I got 3 writing sections. 2 full ones and 1 shorter one. You think one is experimental?</p>

883

<p>anyone remember the problem with the gas emissions or something, something about adding 5.1 two times to the chart.. was the answer, median would be the same?</p>

884

<p>Experimental Math section was the one with the drawing of the packs of pencils and also the one with the drawing of the three chairs and also with the code numbers for WATER.</p>

885

<p>you dont get penalized for wrong grid ins, right</p>

886

<p>Does "liberating revelation" sound familiar for the radio passage?</p>

887

<p>thanks spiffy. what were the harder problems in that section?? i dont remember the three chairs though.</p>

888

<p>no...i got the water one and i only have 3 math section</p>

889

<p>Keane fan, I think that was the experimental section.
gnrfan, if you had 3 writing, then one of the 35 question one was an experimental.
lobgent: I know 11 on the math was the one with the triangle, one w/side 3, and asked for the perimeter of the triangle. The triangle was equilateral. I can't for the life of me remember 9 and 10 sry.</p>

890

<p>the secret word one in the math i believe was (D), i thought it was the asnwer that had 9 and 7 first. Maybe that was answer (c), but i dunno.</p>

<p>also, in the grid in section, the answer 12 for the second one ( what was the question for it)</p>

891

<p>hey..how do we find teh test center number/</p>

892

<p>WATER question was not part of the experimental. Both my friend and I had the question, but while I had 4 math sections, he had 4 writing sections.</p>

893

<p>what? so i didnt get an experimental math? oh i hope to god i did, lol. what other probs were with the chair one</p>

894

<p>oh... DANG it LOL. sucks for me...</p>

<p>How did you figure out how to decipher the WATER code anyway? I'm dying to know, because I just stared at it for like 5 secs and was like "screw this, i'm skipping it"</p>

895

<p>Was the vegetable planting math problem part of the experimental -- you know, the one with tomatoes and beans?</p>

896

<p>There was another one in the exp. about the car payments w/ a graph,
also there was a drawing of the triangular prism, and there were two diagonals going across to the back of it with an equilateral triangle as the base. I'm pretty sure this was the experimental because my other friend didn't have it.</p>

897

<p>could someone explain how scroing works for the SAt</p>

898

<p>oh i figured out that water one in the last seconds. the other choices with the last 2 3 8 i eliminated had numbers that didnt correspond with spelling water</p>

899

<p>You find TER, and then you make sure the first two numbers weren't already taken by a letter in SECRET CODE.</p>

900

<p>OHHH that car payments one, was that with the chart with the X's... was the answer Median?? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
