<p>ok..guys, i believe anything on section 6, despite its writing, reading, or math, is experimental...</p>
<p>Yep, which is good for me because I actually ommitted a problem in that section.:D</p>
<p>Hmph. I think I kinda liked section 6. I suppose it doesn't really matter though. I liked all of the math sections.</p>
<p>I think it was 75</p>
<p>i was just reading thru this thread.. and the question with x<0, was that really teh correct answer? i remember doing this problem but i thought it had to be x<y or y<x i can't remember because even if x<0, y could also be <0 and then the rules would not be satisfied... or am i wrong?</p>
<p>ok...so does anyone have the question that was like X^(4/3) and X^(2)...i dont remeber what is was asking but was the answer 8/3</p>
<p>i think i got like a 660 math 710 verbal 710 writing</p>
<p>well my test was the chairs grid in, the graph with the elm tree and the other trees, and the many squares inscribed in each other, for my shorter section which i think also had the graph with the phone calls at different times</p>
<p>"Hmm... another problem was something like.. they gave a drawing of a step shaped thing and they had several variables on it. And based on the information they asked which variable you couldn't find based on the information.</p>
<p>I think I put A for that one."</p>
<p>i dont remember what choice it was but i think it was definatley the length of the bottom side that was closest to us because they didnt give you all of the top lengths of the steps</p>
<p>the question was thus: </p>
<p>if x^(2/3)=y, what does x^4 equal in terms of y?</p>
<p>I should've seen that really this question was not that hard at all, although I got it wrong. The correct answer is y^6, because if you think about it, (x^(2/3))^6) is the same as x^4. damn.</p>
<p>alright I've got a question. The pail question has been discussed a lot on this thread, but what hasn't been mentioned is what the question was asking. I understood the question, but am worried I answered something it didn't ask. I was under the impression that the question was "what is 8 units in length?" (not exact, I mean I thought it was referring to what the 8 referred to.)</p>
<p>I did a stupid mistake on my test. I didn't omit, anything. at all. granted I wasn't that pressed for time, but omitting one would have gotten me full points for another. I wish the questions would decrease in difficulty over the course of a section rather than increase, which it is cited by the collegeboard book as definitely doing.</p>
<p>what u mean omitting one would get you full points for another?</p>
<p>The pail question asked what the 2 in the equation represented.</p>
<p>i put c or e for that pail question cause i narrowed it down to 2 but i dont remember which one i put. I think i put C. Is that right?</p>
<p>dr pepper - I mean if I hadn't tried to split my time between getting two questions half done and nearly guessing on both, I could have had time to answer one and gotten it right while simply omitting the other. I honestly don't think that with enough time there were any math questions I couldn't answer. Thus, instead of potentially losing points on two problems, I could have gotten full points for one and not lost any for the second.</p>
<p>wow you people should read the previous posts. the pail one has been discussed like 40 times, there's been like 3 hundred and 15 posts...now 16. I mentioned the only facet that hadn't been mentioned. anyhow, yes, the general consensus is C. which, unfortunately, is not what I put. ah well.</p>
<p>oh yeah i see what u mean now</p>
<p>can someone explain the cheese cube one that gets cut into 8 pieces?
Thanks</p>
<p>crazyla- </p>
<p>basically, you start out with a cube of side 1 cm (I'm not sure it was centimeters, but it was 1 unit, so whatever)</p>
<p>surface area of the cube is attained by getting the area of 1 side, and then multiplying it by 6 faces. so, 1^2 is 1, times 6 = 6 cm surface area. BUT, when you divide it into 8 cubes, there's a bunch more surface area because now parts of the cube that previously were not exposed to air, are. SO</p>
<p>let's find the surface area of 1 cube and then multiply it by 8, shall we?</p>
<p>the side of 1 mini cube is .5 cm, since it was halved three times (1 time for each side...if you don't understand that, whatever. It's hard to describe without a model.)</p>
<p>so, .5^2 = .25
multiply that by 6 faces, so therefore = 1.5
then multiply that by 8 mini cubes, and you get 12. The question asked how much MORE surface area is there when you have 8 mini cubes, so subtract 6 from 12, and BOOM. you get 6.</p>
<p>Yes. The answer was 6.</p>
<p>However - wouldn't there be NINE mini cubes?</p>
