another or maybe the same one had the one about the probability of choosing inside a shaded area of a rectangle I think.

i got 5/8, and i believe it was the probability of unshaded.</p>

<p>5 if you were REALLY perfect.</p>

<p>exactly how i feel, and its tempting to cancel my scores so i dont have to be burdened by them</p>

<p>Can you say, 400? (Loads gun, ***** it, starts listening to "The Outsider" by Perfect Circle)</p>

<p>Damn it, stop discussing the stupidly easy math section, that question was 12pi and blah blah blah.</p>

<p>What did everyone put for the question that asked why the man included the description of how the theaters were demolished. Did you say that it was to deprecate the practice or poke lighthearted fun at it?</p>

<p>It wasn't so easy. By and large, it wasn't bad, but there were a few tricky ones that made me think and panic a little. I'm alright at math - 800 on the SAT II Math IC in Dec, so none of the material was new or anything - but I thought that compared to the practice tests in the CB book, the math was a little trickier.</p>

<p>The math curve always seems to suck, though.</p>

<p>Now THAT'S sad.</p>

<p>I mean sorry. :)</p>

<p>The question about the author's ideal (last question) -- was it to hope that they resolve their differences more quickly or was it to merge their opinions? Does anyone remember the answer choices more clearly?</p>

<p>And this was an the experimental passage right?</p>

<p>I was mad that they didn't have any combination or permutation problems...</p>

<p>I put deprecate, I don't think he ever "pokes lighthearted fun" at anything</p>

<p>I put poke lighthearted fun at it, I thought deprecate was too harsh.</p>

<p>i said deprecate</p>

<p>I don't think it was lighthearted fun... I don't remember what I put, but between those two, I'd put to deprecate the practice.</p>

<p>Sigh...I bought a PR book but the Prep course that I took used the Cambridge book, so PR fell by the wayside...Sadly, the PR book was the book of choice, most similar to the actual test. :(</p>

<p>I don't think it was either...</p>

<p>But my memory sucks right now.</p>

<p>Well, it might just be the fact that I had devoted the entire week before the test (my spring break, btw. Shows you how committed I am. Either that, or how oppressive my parents are. ;)) doing mostly verbal sections, but I found the math section to be tricky. Several math questions had me stumbling around, like the one with the inequalities of the different power functions of x. However, I think I caught most... and hopefully all of the tricky ones.</p>

<p>Yeah, for one of them my eraser left an ugly but pretty light smudge. I found I had a nice standalone eraser (not Pink Pearl...it was white, and nicer, too) that erased things much more effectively than any of my pencils/mechanical pencils.</p>

<p>Dang. Looks like I got it wrong, then. Again, does anyone remember this grammar question? I "The coral reefs are a home to over 25% of the ocean's animals, yet they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities." I thought that maybe 'but' could have replaced 'yet' since 'yet' sounded a little awkward, but I chose "correct as is" because I thought it was technically correct.</p>

<p>Merge. </p>

<p>Kinda obvious.</p>

<p>Pink Pearl? They have names for erasers now? Oh boy, I'm glad I use pens. I should be a rebel and use pens on scantron and see what colleges think.</p>
