<p>You have a much better memory than I do. I can remember a lot of the CR and writing but not math…</p>

<p>here’s others I remember:</p>

<ol>
<li>2x + 15 = 5k(x + 1)</li>
<li> 14…the one with x was greater than y by 5 and z by 4</li>
<li>wasn’t there one about a quadrilateral and asking for a vertex but I cant remember (like 0,4 and 2, w)</li>
<li>2750 (8 bus question) </li>
<li>xy=10</li>
</ol>

<p>I can’t remember #8 k=2/4 ( what was that one?) </p>

<p>Nepotism passagehttp://books.google.com/books?id=z8wSCZG9O6AC&pg=PA11&lpg=PA11&dq=nepotism+conventional+definition&source=bl&ots=uR3FxCEkwr&sig=Pk8RUjpk4muVEZKYX1G2a7-k0a8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=KoO7UKqBM4K-2wWk74HwBw&ved=0CCsQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=nepotism%20conventional%20definition&f=false</p>

<p>also, on writing I remember</p>

<ol>
<li>Were the air conditioner…</li>
<li>mouth should have been mouths</li>
<li>sleep is a state IN WHICH (not that)</li>
<li>one with each and you had to know it was singular</li>
<li>exclusive should have been exclusively ( or some similar word)</li>
</ol>

<p>do you remember any other hard ones?</p>

<p>maybe we should post this on the other thread ( the SAt one) so more people will chip in).i dont know how to do that though…</p>

<p>Yes I remember all those writing questions</p>

<p>The other thread is for the Sat Test–I think this is a better thread to post in. Try posting in the regular thread and see what happens.</p>

<p>I meant we should do it under “SAT Preparation” instead of “SAT and ACT Tests and Test preparation”</p>

<p>DO you remember any other Hard Writing questions? Also what was the K math question- I can’t remember it!</p>

<p>That was the last grid in. It was like: what value of k will make the equation have no solution. The answer was k = 2/5 or 0.4</p>

<p>Could a moderator move this to the SAT forum?</p>

<p>I remember the Whoopie Goldberg writing question. What did you put for that (it was the last question of the test)?</p>

<p>was whoopie the one that was she was known for something not so much for something as for something? </p>

<p>the consturction is not so much for…as for…</p>

<p>any other hard ones???</p>

<p>Yes that’s what I got. I remember being stuck between two choices:</p>

<p>Construction 1: “They recognized her not so much for her talent as for her advocacy.”</p>

<p>Construction 2: “They recognized her not so much for her talent as they did her advocacy.”</p>

<p>I picked 1 because 2 gives a false comparison: you can’t compare a person to a talent, you need to compare a talent to a talent.</p>

<p>I don’t remember any other difficult ones.
I am worried about the Whoopie one most.</p>

<p>I believe construction (1) was choice D. Did you get that?</p>

<p>1 is definitely correct…no doubt</p>

<p>Was that choice D?</p>
