<p>the venus passage was experimental.</p>
<p>I GOT THE MATH EXPERIMENTAL SECTION.</p>
<p>GOT ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PUMPED</p>
<p>I think i only missed 1 in critical reading… so i might have a chance at a 2400 :D</p>
<p>was I the only one who got celebrity public rights as CR? also, did everyone get the polymath question on the sentence completion, or was that part of the experimental…</p>
<p>What was the answer to the math question that was like a number line with like 50 in the middle and a and c on the endpoints. And ab=ac</p>
<p>never mind /10char</p>
<p>LOL peteeee i think it was 25 in the middle and the answer was 50</p>
<p>25-x = y - 25
so x+y = 50</p>
<p>i got 50 for that one…</p>
<p>what was 1/8th an answer for?</p>
<p>Hey guys.
I am freaking out over here about the essay.
Mine was “Should people care about people in other countries?”</p>
<p>I spent my whole summer preparing example banks but I couldn’t really think of anything…</p>
<p>So I wrote about Fritz Haber, a German scientist who invented fertilizer & chlorine gas bomb around WW1.</p>
<p>I wrote that the fertilizer saves many lives around the world by improving crop harvesting etc. but when he used a similar chemical method to invent the bomb he took many lives of soldiers from other countries away. Before the bomb happening he recieved Nobel Prize and had a good rep but after he ruthlessly killed people he no longer was known for good things. And plus Germany was condembed by other countries, eventually leading to defeat.</p>
<p>In my conclusion paragraph I tried to tie back to the prompt by saying that we should care about people in other countries because it promotes world peace, makes our country stronger and builds rep. </p>
<p>Does this make sense?
I’m afraid my example wasn’t on topic.
I’m aware that you get a 0 if your essay’s not on topic…</p>
<p>The prompt was broad enough that I thought I could narrow the “people” down to people with power (in this case knowledge is the power) & care would be being considerate, not “nurture.”</p>
<p>AHG IM SO SCARED.
What’s the standard of “not on topic”?
A bad example or a complete deviation such as “I love America because we are diverse”?</p>
<p>i think if u interpret the prompt in a certain way, the essay graders just run with it.</p>
<p>ur example seems on topic enuff. pray for a 12!</p>
<p>1/8 was the answer for how many humpback whales recorded out of all the whales</p>
<p>1.) do you guys remember a CR passage about a foreign intern coming to America?
2.) what was the consensus on the paper bags? Is it true that you cant have “that” after a comma?</p>
<p>GrapelsGreat, I got the same writing topic! Haha. It’s weird because most CCer’s on here seem to have gotten a different topic. My mind when blank when I saw that topic. I couldn’t think of which examples to use and how to tackle the prompt. I ended up using Mao Zedong in an opposition paragraph, Steve Jobs, Bill Clinton, and Mother Teresa. I wrote roughly 6 paragraphs. However, I couldn’t finish my conclusion. I wrote like two sentences for the conclusion and ran out of time. I had about 4 lines left.</p>
<p>i think the plastic bags one had an error in “when”. if you think about it, when would create another appositive so the beginning phrase “something something 1982” wouldnt have a verb to complete it and it would just be phrase… i read it by replacing “when” with “that”, but you could substitute with “which” or something…</p>
<p>Was the venus one the easiest do you think though out of all the critical reading passages? @IHAVEBIGHUANG</p>
<p>i didnt have it.
i got the math equating section.</p>
<p>Did anyone else get 50 on the math question with a number line labeled A, B, and C. B had 25. AB=BC A+C=?</p>
<p>Hey Haphazard!
Yeah my mind definitely went blank too. You seem like you had a ton of examples! Good for you. I’m sure you did fine with your intro & body paragraphs since you seem to know alot (or enough to discuss) about your examples.
I think if your sentence stops in the middle the graders would know you ran out of time… But idk what they’ll do about it in terms of score.
I only had one line left when I finished my conclusion, but I also only had one example (about Haber) so I’m not so sure how I did!</p>
<p>Best luck for both of us :)</p>
<p>Btw for math, does anyone remember a question about line being tangent to 2 circles…? You had to draw a triangle out of each point of tangent and find the perimeter. I think i got 8+8root3 or something like that</p>
<p>How did you get that number? All the radii where whole numbers…?</p>
<p>Grape, I had that too… I think it was experimental… because that was one of the harder questions and noone has seemed to mention it so far.</p>
