What was the answer to the “drunken peregrination” question? Shadowy outlines or blurred lights?
I had irregular meandering. Something like that @afro98
@afro98 meandering movements
anyone remember the question about what it means to “appreciate” the amoeba?
I have incredulous @zacle1234
Did anyone have a math section where at the very beginning it gives you this situation of two people who did surveys of their coworkers, and it gave you a box plot (lol wut) and bar graph of their two results, and then had 5-6 questions analyzing the data? And then it also had another question asking about the best way to get results to see if an ad changes opinions, and you had to say which method of giving a survey about the advertisement was best? So it was like A) give the survey before hand, have them watch the ad, have them take the survey again B) have half the people take the survey and half not C) etc. etc.
@zacle1234 Dismissive and inelegant. For the dismissive article the paragraph was saying how unimportant it was that they were talking about how much they looked at their email because scientist hadn’t found conclusive evidence that there was a correlation between brain activity and internet usage. He wasn’t saying that he didn’t believe their statements on their own personal internet usage
I chose the one with “nature”. @grparker21
Actually, the answer for the Zen passage was, indeed, “trace the origins of a philosophy.” NOTE: You all have confused the wording. The wording of the answer was as i have stated. Thus, it’s correct because the woman’s mother was practicing a method which she grew up around, and grew up learning with. So, her mother’s comments of how she “couldn’t get anything right” and “couldn’t do such simple tasks” and such clearly demonstrate Zen thinking. The daughter later explains the PRACTICES of the Zen, NOT ITS HISTORICAL CHRONOLOGY, as many of you have misinterpreted. The wording of the question is: “trace the origins of A PHILOSOPHY,” the philosophy here referring to the MOTHER’S philosophy. Therefore, the daughter’s paragraphs of Zen practices are born to explain her mother’s “philosophy,” to directly implant the word.
But don’t worry… I made bad mistakes on the Math section, and a dumb one or two on Writing. I’m hoping for a 2100 so bad…I just don’t think it’s there.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to provide a rebuttal.
@fishybopbop Don’t worry, that section was experimental. I had a math experimental section as well (section 4) that had a bunch of statistics related questions such as random sampling and margin of error.
How many NE’s?
@Marshmallow99 I got 3 or 4. That’s the usual amount of E’s on the writing section.
I had an experimental section that was a weird combination of the ACT reading/science. It threw me off for a little bit
what was the answer to the question about the airline and FAA?
rationale seems more rational to me
@blueberrycheese You’re not supposed to ask for docs on the thread… see post #479.
@Kelvas The mother’s practice of scolding her for missing minute details in itself is an exhibition of the Zen philosophy. Thus, the mother, by implication, does practice the Zen philosophy.
curve prediction for -2 wrong, 2 ommited?
Oh I think I had an experimental CR section? Couldn’t tell. But I did have 4 CR sections, but I couldn’t tell.
Also, did anyone get like several E’s or B’s in a row for some sections?
This might no be the thread for it, but what do you guys think this essay would get (recreated as accurately as possible): Should younger people direct all their efforts towards a single skill?
Younger people should direct their efforts towards a single skill in order to maximize and achieve their full potential. As shown by Rafael Nadal and a personal anecdote, it is better to be a master of one talent than a jack of all trades.
Rafael Nadal ultimately conquered the tennis world only because he was willing to focus solely on a single sport. The Mallorcan native played a spate of sports as a child, including tennis, football and track. His talent was immense, his work ethic diligent. However, he could only escape the tendrils of mediocrity when his uncle, Tony, decided to pull his precocious nephew out of school and relinquish his prior commitments. Tony’s faith in his nephew’s ultimate success proved to be prescient, as Rafa eventually achieved the number 1 ranking and captivated the world with his intransigent, never-say-die attitude.
In addition to Rafael Nadal’s story, a personal anecdote also demonstrates that it is indeed crucial for a child to focus on a single sport in order to maximize his or her potential for success. Pressured by the immense standards expected by today’s colleges, I attempted to flood my resume with extra-curricular activities. I competed for the tennis team; acted as a proponent for the zionist club; and directed films ranging from comedy to drama to horror. However, I felt true passion for only a single activity: writing. I realized that my quantity didn’t make up for my mediocrity in each, so I forfeited my other commitments and focused solely on writing. My work became more advanced, yet genuine, than it had ever been before. Only by committing to something I truly enjoyed and specialized in was I able to maximize my potential.
Rafael Nadal and my personal anecdote demonstrate that it is indeed imperative for a child to focus his or her efforts on a single talent. Only those that commit themselves to a single field - Albert Einstein, John Muir, Meryl Streep - become engrained in the history books.
