@garfield
Can you explain a bit more on how I calculate it. What percentage are you talking about? I’m anticipating to get 70/100 MC and 10/14 FRQ</p>

Does it matter the gender? and thanks!!! omg I put that. Are you sure? Someone said before that it was variable ratio.</p>

,@whatslife
I thought it was variable ratio.</p>

cards was variable ratio for sure. For the creativity, i thought it was normative and divergent. it seems normative means something like not totally wacky, so i guess that fits the bill. plus, how can an idea be valuable?</p>

that was def VARIABLE RATIO. 100 PERCENT POSITIVE</p>

My book is constantly talking about Divergent thinking and creativity…</p>

I thought the FRQs were 8 points each…why is everyone doing them out of 7?</p>

I got variable ratio instead. </p>

Same thinking and usernameinvalid for the creativity one.</p>

i still don’t see how normative with anything works. dictionary.com says normative means anything to do with the norm. that’s not creative. to me its still original and valuable. similar to “novel and valubalbe” which is exact definition from my book</p>

You guys killed my hopes lolol. Okay >.<</p>

@FullMetalx</p>

So MC is worth 100 pts and FRQ 50. So you get (70/100)<em>100=70 points from the MC and (10/14)</em>50=35.7 pts from FRQ, so they add to 105.7, which is a very high 4 according to both 2004 and 2009 curves, but MAY be a 5 on this exam(if it’s harder)</p>

@ Fullmetalx</p>

70 MC x 1 =70
10 FRQ points x 3.125=31.25</p>

70+31.25=101.25 points</p>

does any1 else agree with me for creativity???</p>

It sounds like divergent was the distractor. Ugh.</p>

@garfield</p>

Ohhh! I feel like an idiot. For some reason I was multiplying it by 66.6</p>

But original? If you never heard of an idea before, like a backscratcher, but had the idea for one, thats still creative even though its not original</p>

I thought FRQ points=3.125???</p>

that would be original…</p>

Lol whoops, it was variable ratio. I was thinking of the other one I put first (I changed it to variable ratio after thinking it over)</p>

Sorry about that!
I’ll go change it to not confuse people.</p>

The definition for creativity in my textbook is “novel and valuable”</p>
