<p>Carolinaaa, I put verve. Pretty sure that was it.
“enthusiasm or vigor, as in literary or artistic work; spirit: Her latest novel lacks verve.
I don’t remember any choices other than that and fortitude either, but I remember I had them all crossed out and was stuck between those too because I wasnt 100% sure what verve meant.</p>

<p>I put facile interview, because it was kinda one-sided. I really hope there’s a huge curve for reading. I think I got 6/7 wrong max. If I’m lucky maybe only 3 lol…</p>

<p>i think it was the group vs individual i remember having 2 reading sections in a row, my friend had a math section while i was having the group vs individual passage. i messed up on that one that one but do you remember more specifically what the group and individual passage was about?</p>

<p>How do you know which one is experimental? I’m not really sure which one I had was experimental but whatever. I think I did well, but there was one critical reading section with a bunch of hard words in the first like 8 questions. I guessed on a bunch of those. I think I did worst in critical reading. My essay was sick though, considering I was most worried about that. I don’t think I got anything wrong in math. I think I pulled a 2150ish.</p>

<p>@ Nihility
Idk if its correct but I got 7 on that one. if that’s the units digit I think all
you had to do was do 3^7.</p>

<p>yea i had experimental MATH and the group vs individual i did NOT read about. i also dont remember any Writing questions on HOTEL MANAGEMENT so thats experimental (i had 4 math sections)</p>

<p>i put facile interview too, but for the subtle one i think i put commonplace. also, did anyone put “merely” for the question,“in lines…, what does simply mean”??? i think it was in the behavior reinforcement passage</p>

<p>ohh i remember that one. I don’t think i put merely though. What were the other answer choices?</p>

<p>Simply was merely.
edit: Also, I refuse to believe it was humor for defense. Just saying.</p>

<p>What about that question in the reading passage where the guy carves ducks or w.e, with elaine, etc. The related part of the passage was like “Parents were gracious, if a touch cool” or something, and the question was asking about what the word cool meant? idr the answer choices except the one i put, which was casual</p>

<p>Otsuichi- simply should’ve been sincerely- it made more sense in context</p>

<p>no, simply was definitely merely</p>

<p>sincerely made more sense in context, because he meant it as saying- We don’t HONESTLY believe that humans are lesser than animals, or something to that effect- merely doesn’t work as well as sincerely</p>

<p>Does anyone know the answer to the “cool” question from the marraige passage? I think the choices were like reserved/careful.I’m unsure of that one and the Zora passage which asked for “her ____ for friendship” Choices were like capacity, suitability, preference.</p>

<p>i put casual and suitability respectively</p>

<p>i thought it was merely b/c it said “we dont simple believe that theyre lesser human; that’s just a symptom. by reinforcing behavior, we pull the roots of human behavior blahblahblah” so i thought it was like “not only do we believe they’re lesser human, but also we completely destroy human will” … so i thought it was merely…</p>

<p>Cr was extremly easy, exept, perhaps for a couple fo sen. comp. ( ie bon.and clide, egg )</p>

<p>Math was ok., easy overall. Was the circle with 7 points 21?</p>

<p>Writing was a bit hard. Esp. the identifing errors. may have got 2 wrong </p>

<p>My experimental section was writing. </p>

<p>Grand canyon was not experimantal</p>

<p>Essay : Bad people get what they want because good p allow them to </p>

<p>2300 or more</p>

<p>i put reserved and suitability
i wasnt sure about the suitability thing it was so weird!
and btw that one math section with the equation at t=0, f(t)=200
was the answer 15 for that?
i dont remember whether it asked for when the population reached 600 or grew 600…does any remember?</p>

<p>I think he was reinforcing given his previous statement.</p>

<p>@ifailatsats it was 15, i am pretty sure</p>

<p>ok thank goodness it would suck to get one wrong in math :stuck_out_tongue:
does anyone rememebr the answer to the crit reading vocab about how out of 20k penguins, only 159 went out of their houses or something? i put atavism, is that correct?</p>
