<p>does anyone remember which passage had the last 6 questions on the final page?</p>

<p>Hm... short passages about how society is "cramming public space with loud music", something about how we can learn from insects and biomemical technology, and long passages about a guy talking about his half-built house and a "reflection on the nature of memory", and paired passages about how the government took away wolves and coyotes in some park and how reintroducing them has helped the wildlife.</p>

<p>Am I allowed to post the essay question?</p>

<p>hmm one of my short passages was about morse code... and one of the long ones was about this guy who was talking about being lost in a department store when he was a kid...
and my essay question was like 'can people control happiness?'
did anyone else get this one?</p>

<p>yes i got the same passages as you fitchmoose</p>

<p>Yeah I wrote the essay and didnt think it was bad. Maybe a 10 or 11. It was very good, but I kind of stretched an example. </p>

<p>.....Then I had 3 Critical Reading Sections in a Row. I was sooooo upset. Each section after the next, I felt myself rushing near the end of time because I was brain dead. Then I took the math section after that which brought my confidence up. I was sooooo tired.</p>

<p>^
TehRahk I totally agree with you. I had similar situation. but I didn't have 3 CR in a row.. I had Essay, CR, CR, Math,CR, Writing, Math, CR, Writing... 5/6 aren't math.. I think it's unfair. It should be alternating... Like Essay, Math, CR, Writing, Math, CR, Writing, and (extra section which any of the previous could be Experimental.)</p>

<p>I put -7/8 < x < -3/8 only I think that was III</p>

<p>didnt you need to find the area of the space NOT covered with the 1,4,9 squares i thought it was 36-1-4-9 ?? no? lol ****</p>

<p>haha cc doesnt let you write **** i didnt know that. btw i probably meant amal sorry for the confusion it was the choice with A whatever it was</p>

<p>36 - (1+4+9) ylhs</p>

<p>the answer to the square one was 22 right?</p>

<p>adroit do you remember how that problem (the I II and III) was exactly worded? I wanna work it out</p>

<p>I got the same answer adroit... III only. don't remember how it was worded though.</p>

<p>I could have sworn it was: |x-4|=5</p>

<p>If I recall: It said 4 was on a number line with two points five units apart from it. 4+5=9 and 4-5= -1</p>

<p>You plug in 9 and -1 for x. |9-4|=|5|=5 and |-1-4|=|-5|=5</p>

<p>If it were |x-5|=4, that would be stupid. Because then you have 1 and 9 being the number. The distance between 4 and 9 is 5, so that works. But the distance between 4 and 1 is 3.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, and I remember "prattle" being one of the answers to CR question... Something about a guy who always foolishly opened his mouth that his name became synonymous with "---"</p>

<p>no you mixed your numbers up. It was 4 units apart.</p>

<p>If it was 4 units apart, then why would a person who mentioned before me mention the number 9? He'd have to be entirely wrong as well. The numbers would have to be 0 and 8 (if distance was 4). He said 1 and 9. I said -1 and 9. Coincidence in similarity? :)</p>

<p>4 units apart from 5</p>

<p>l9-5l = 4</p>

<p>l1-5l = l-4l = 4</p>

<p>not a coincidence then =P</p>

<p>what about the question in CR with elan or whatever...was that the right answer??</p>

<p>elan is the right answer</p>
