<p>i think i had a multiple choice math experiemental
anyone else have the same one as me?</p>

22

<p>yes, harrypotter…
but i just cant connect the identifying sentence errors questions with the essay questions in the section…so i do not know which section i have screwed…
stupid me!</p>

23

<p>If I had 2 grid-ins is one of them expirimental.</p>

<p>I aced one, the other I had about 5 blanks.</p>

24

<p>I had two grid-in math sections too. My first one was section 2, and the second one was like the 7th section. I reallllly hope section 7 was experimental for me.</p>

25

<p>I HOPE 7 WAS EXPERIMENTAL ALSO. That is the one that I had about 5 blank grid-ins! I have not seen this discussed anywhere else on CC though.</p>

26

<p>yeah, a lot of people say they had CR or writing. I see more people discussing the grid-INS from section 2, so I’m pretty sure 7 was experimental.</p>

27

<p>I was so nervous about this section. I don’t even remember any of the questions at all from this section, but I left nearly all of the grids blank. - I think I only missed three on the regular one.</p>

28

<p>Do you guys know by any chance if the following vocab question was in the experimental section?</p>

<p>The university ____ even though their computer system was old and _____.</p>

<p>a) Thrived, antediluvian
b) languished, archaic</p>

<p>I believe I answered (b) and that was obviously wrong, so I’m hoping that the section may have been experimental…</p>

29

<p>sorry personofawesome
but this one appeared on my test too and i had an extra writing section…</p>

30

<p>I have writing experimental section too . I have 2 writing sections , one of which i did really badly .>.<</p>

31

<p>icandoit.
did you have two writing section in a row? i had them in section 6 and 7 and i did really bad at the 7</p>

32

<p>a) Thrived, antediluvian</p>

33

<p>I’m SO confused…plz. help: </p>

<p>I don’t think I had the math experimental–since I only had one grid-in section–which leaves either writing or reading</p>

<p>I don’t think I had writing—because I only wrote one essay and I only had one improving paragraph section (the one about soap operas)–if I had an experimental writing, then I would have had two improving paragraphs right?</p>

<p>sooo…that leaves reading:
i had the poetry passage, alu in africa, the two environment short passages, lady finding a rock, elephant art–which one was experimental?</p>

34

<p>did anyone have two writing section in a row for section 6 and 7? which one had the opera essay?</p>

35

<p>Here is what counted:

  1. One paragraph on bioluminescence
  2. One paragraph on Post World War II junk food
  3. Mini-Pair on Comics (both authors were positive)
  4. Big Pair on artistic elephants
  5. Passage on Alu finding the Pasteur book
  6. Passage on a hiker who found an ancient artifact
  7. Passage on how poets increasingly write for themselves and not a broad market</p>

<p>That’s it. Everything else was experimental!</p>

36

<p>***. then what didnt count?</p>

37

<p>did the section with the word “engender” count as experimental?</p>

38

<p>diablo, sec 6 was the one about the soap operas</p>

39

<p>lithium369,
i screwed section 7. are you sure? if that’s true i will be happy as a freak!!!</p>

40

<p>what did you guys choose for the first question about poets? that was the only one i omitted…</p>
