Does anyone know some of the questions and answers to the psychological passage? I feel like that was the hardest CR passage and I screwed up on it.
Also on writing was it perspective?
I don’t remember exactly what the one where the answer was self-evident said, but it was kind of a platitude like “People in countries are the ones who get things done.” Sorry, that might be somewhat off… But the point is, is that it was something that wasn’t a misguided claim, because it was clearly true/obvious.
I, II, III percent question at end of math section?
@Chrysanthemum14 except it can’t be self-evident because the author disagrees with the textbooks
b% of a
(ab)% would work also @Chrysanthemum14
@fidnslsdfjio
This makes zero sense. It’s not talking about overall. The question was just about this simple interjection. A sarcastic interjection where the previous statement was stupidly obvious.
he’s still disagreeing w/ how it was written
he’s pointing out that the conclusion was overly obvious and not thoughtful because of its obviousness
@Newdle
How?
I used 50 = a, 100 = b
a% of b = 50% of 100 = 50
b% of a = 100% of 50 = 50
(ab)% = 5000%
@mathislife how did you get that? it seemed so easy and was the only math question I wasn’t sure about
Do you think CB is gonna at least address the issue within the next 24 hours? I don’t care either way if it’s going to count or I’m gonna have to retake it but I just want to find out!
Edit: Now that I think about it, if they aren’t going to cancel it I doubt they will even acknowledge the misprint and just pretend it never happened.
@curlypie99
I explained it on the previous page.
All I’m worried about is that I forgot to erase a bubble in the 4th section when I was at the beginning of the 6th section, and quickly went to do that, covertly of course. Really hoping the proctors didn’t see… Ugh…
50=a, 100=b
b% of a is the same
But if you do (ab)% and say it’s 5000%… 5000% of what?
So shouldn’t it be 50 * 100 * .01?
% can be treated as .01 if you think about it.
@DonQixote Yup, it had to be positive since the min was positive and it couldn’t have been 0
@ALibertarian don’t worry about it. Unless they caught you and called you out during the administration it’s not a problem
@curlypie99 well you needed to find a common ratio for a:b and b:c. and b was given=20. you could have set this up with all numbers equal to 20. or a=10 and c=40. etc… when you multiplied it out, (abc) you get 8000. this was an inverse proportional question if you would like to the the topic to help yourself further
@Chrysanthemum14 - I think he meant 1% of ab, which was one of the choices
@jkates Yeah, whatever it was… I said one was wrong, and the other two were right. The one with 2 was wrong.
Wait is there actually a chance that our scores will be voided and we’ll have to take it again???
