<p>lol same topic akahmed… i didnt know if we could discuss it yet, but did you actually use _<strong><em>? i used it about once, and that was saying no </em></strong> = _______. I sort of implied the rest.</p>
<p>Yeah I did the same
I used the American Revolution
and the Early Transcendentalist Movement</p>
<p>Ended with “Give me liberty or Give me death” drama, I love it</p>
<p>Also, in my American Rev answers, I mentioned I can appreciate choices having a family background from Africa and India. Sort of personal experience thing.</p>
<p>that’s weird, i said that freedom to choose will ultimately cause unfulfillment in life because you are left with so many choices that you will eventually be directed wayward. nevertheless, i think i backed it up well so…haha.</p>
<p>so as today draws to a close…we’re missing like 3 questions on CR.
and a bunch on writing/math haha.</p>
<p>Critical Reading

. Resignation when he talked with the fisherman
. Dumbfounded when fisherman is consulted on something so important
. Father is sociable-reserved

<p>Writing
. Were we to change = correct — currently under debate
. Diction error = insure — assure
. the editor “would have followed her instincts and run the story if not for the legal trouble” The problem gave “ran”, but it needs to be “run” since it goes with “have”
. Life as a Dog: I think no error - “had he adopted an adult POV” is correct as is
TWO NO ERRORS</p>
<p>Math
. Honeycomb = equilateral triangle…sure it was a hexagon, but not regular
. Upside down parabolas — c = -17 c as in c the constant, but the choice is e.
. Constant of 5 sequence (1243) 28th digit = 3

. Root 153 was distance between intercepts
. Rectangle box = volume of 15000
. Diamond formed by radii within two intersecting circles, perimeter = 20
. 2 points where abs (g(x)) > f(x)
. 2z = 4z, so 8z = 0
. x/p, x/r, x/t, where p, r, t are prime numbers and x/p, x/r are integers…x = pr^2
. 0.N and 0.M5 — sum = 7
. 5 integers sum to 100, smallest = 10, largest = 54
. 3p = 4m, p cannot = 2 for m to be an integer
. Adding square and triangle gives area of 21
. 3a + b = 19, a+b = 7
. 2 hours distance = 4a + 8</p>
<p>For math…</p>
<p>I remember one it was like what is the median age
and they give ages of men and women
i got the answer 50</p>
<p>also.. there was one that said
what is the number between 3.0 and 4.0 on the number line
3.5 (maybe this is a trick question or something)</p>
<p>In the one about the courts, one question had me thinking for about 5 minutes on.</p>
<p>Question was like how does the author feel about american’s court system ways?</p>
<p>Choice 1: Unorthodox strategy
Choice 2: Problematic practice</p>
<p>Those seemed too close, I ended up choosing Problematic practice. =/</p>
<p>And 1 post said -3 on math is a 720? Is that about right, I thought it’d be a little higher.</p>
<p>problematic is what i answered</p>
<p>i put problematic, i think. </p>
<p>-3 in math on a typical curve should be a 740. However, a -3 in october was a 730.</p>
<p>-3 is a 720 on math? jeezus</p>
<p>man I was feeling good about math and bad about CR and now it’s opposite after going through this topic. DAMNIT!!!</p>
<p>littleduck, i really doubt that a -3 on nov’s test will be a 720. if anything it’ll be a 730 at worst.</p>
<p>is there any way someone can explain these problems
ABCD with rectangle and 2 congruent triangles= what are total
Length of rectangle with length 3x and width x in yards = ?
answer to median age one?
3a+b ? do you know the whole problem</p>
<p>descartes dignified means- he created it? or he added to it?</p>
<p>2 authors think of dualism as blank and blank</p>
<p>circumstantial requirements for a building- either maximum legal height or how can u built it to get more people(i put that because i thought it was circumstancial if it was the owners purpose)</p>
<p>thanks a ton any answers would be appreciated</p>
<p>dqmaster, the explanations are scattered throughout the thread.</p>
<p>what is the number between 3.0 and 4.0 on the number line
3.5 (maybe this is a trick question or something)</p>
<p>i want confirmation on this</p>
<p>I thought it said .3 and .4?</p>
<p>yeah it did</p>
<p>math will probably be</p>
<p>0 800
-1 780
-2 750
-3 730</p>
<p>yea they are art star but i couldnt find some of the explanations for them
a one sentance one would be fine
thanks</p>
<p>WHat the **** is wrong with Math conversion chart!! Where is 790 ,780,770?? It’s either 800 or 780. That’s why ACT is way better test.</p>
<p>hmm.. by the way, May SAT was -6 =700 for math</p>
