<li>what's the subtext of her friend's comment that there's no servants to clean (comment on change in social class)----> I put something else</li>
<li>what does mrs. d's daughter (angel?) mean when she says that having mrs, d do housework may give offense? (housework not suited for lady of her social class)-----> I put something else</li>
<li><p>what caused mrs. d's reaction to the comment about the new ppl that moved into the grocery store (was it a veiled insult? i'm not sure about this one)----> I put misrepresentation of the mean and evil people who burned old sign</p></li>
<li><p>The friend of the woman was basically being sarcastic and was like, "oh i'm sorry, we dont' have maids here." This was basically used to show how the social calss of the woman has changed</p></li>
<li><p>It wasn't offense. She was basically saying, "look, you're rich now, let the maids do it."</p></li>
<li><p>I said liek implicit insult or something liek that...I remember it being A?</p></li>

<p>i have a feeling that some of you don't think it's easy, and perhaps post to bolster your own egos, not all of you, but some</p>
<p>AHHH! did ANYONE else have the stupidest essay prompt in the world? yu all seemed to have a good one...
ours was "do you think that creativity is needed more than ever in the world today?"
HOW STUPID...it wasn't even possible to use academic examples...</p>
<p>why is it that no one else seemed to have this prompt? or did you?</p>
<p>you should've been creative and just said no... and written "and for that reason, i am not, and will not write this essay"</p>
<p>i didnt get the question about the 50 teachers...maybe that was another kind of experimental one...for the people that had the same format of the test than me (posted at the beginning of the thread), which one is the experimental...5 or 7???...</p>
<p>West Coast people apparently had it. I wrote an essay on...inventions, a Shakespearean play...bad memory, I don't remember the play....I don't remember my last example</p>
<p>i_lose: The math problem you're referring to (yin yang circle)...the radius was = 6, right? And ultimately, it was asking for the circumference of half a circle...(1/2)(2)(6)(pi) = 6pi.</p>
<p>Celebrian: I would say to definitely buy the book. I'm not sure I did as good as I did on my practice tests or not, but either way -- I took all eight out of the book & I felt like I was taking one at home. Very very similar.</p>
<p>But if, for example, there's something you don't totally get...CB book will not help you learn anything, just practice.</p>
<p>yeah i didnt have the cubes either so that was experimental too...there were 2 experimental maths...which one was the experimental for ppl with my order of sections????</p>
<p>claridge, ur forgetting the border to the inside parts of the thing... it's 12pi</p>
<p>I thought it was circumference of the shaded region?</p>
<p>I almost ran out of space, too. :) But I had about 3/4 inch left on the last line. No cramping.
I made up a STUPID example for majority opinions--teenage bullies and blah. Then my creativity turned on and I wrote about the Plessy vs. Ferguson case--segregation.</p>
<p>Claridge. No. You are looking for half of a circle + the whole cirumference of the shaded one. 12pi. I did 9pi, but I realize my mistake.</p>
<p>yea i thought u just plug the half of the small circle that was extended into the white space below the diameter and put it into the white space above the diameter to just get the circumfrence of half the circle which is 6pi</p>
<p>i also got 6pi...some people are saying 12pi but i thought it was the circumference of the shaded region and therefore should have been 6pi
because you divide 12pi/2</p>
<p>also...i_lose...i wrote about how creativity and something about individuality and wow...i don't even know. but since it said "in our world today" it was hard to use history or novels</p>
<p>No, I don't think so.</p>
<p>For one side of the semicircle, a chunk was missing. On the other half of the semicircle, there was an "additional chunk" added on. Ultimately, that means that it was 1 semicircle if you add the "additional chunk" to the missing "chunk." That gives you 6pi.</p>
<p>pimpa i think i got the same version test as you. do you remember which questions were on which sections?</p>
<p>I had four CR sections. Is there any chance the passage with the old woman narrative was experimental? Must experimental be the same for all people?</p>
<p>If it was not experimental- I am massively and unbelievably screwed...all that preparation for a crappy passage that kills you...</p>
<p>i missed 2.. tnx
hate pacing..</p>
<p>I wrote what could probably be the most horrible essay on this exam. I disagreed to the idea of majority opinion being poorly guided. I used our election system, but I used the election where Clinton was inaugurated and subtly criticized Bush Sr. as the key detail. That was my only example and my only body paragraph. I had to rush my conclusion too because I had around 20 seconds when i started to write it. My critical reading was pretty bad too. I omited 4, but they were all from one passage. A lot of the passage questions gave me a little trouble. As for the math and the rest of the writing, i think i did pretty well in them. Should I cancel?</p>
