@Mango920452 yeah i left it as A, but i remember that i changed it at the last minute. i forgot the context of the problem, sorry 
@alexphan202020 I think that was choice A I put choice B i forgot what it was though
@Terraform me too!
nooooooo was it actually 3999?
Any estimations as to the CR curve this time around? It’s usually my best section but I’m already seeing 2-3 I got wrong on here.
@Orioles20 Don’t worry about that too much, most readers aren’t history experts and will most likely not notice simple mistakes.
on the essay if you have several inaccuracies is that okay? i alluded to several obscure people in my intro, but i realized later that my facts weren’t exactly right. i only mentioned them is one sentence though, will the scorers dock my essay score?
@navywinter so do you believe it was A. I said A, but I’m not sure if it was correct.
@StingRayLuis I am not sure, but I think it said “positive even.”
@alexphan202020 I put extended comparison instead of hypothetical musings because there was like a 3:1 ratio of comparisons to musings (the one musing was maybe the dream one, which also doubled as a comparison). For the CR my strategy was always to count the number of techniques/devices and compare them because they often contain multiple techniques but stipulate only “heavily” or “primary” techniques as the answers.
@apscholar123 I believe so the even integers between 2 and 1000 inclusive is 4999 with 0 it is 5000 thus 4999-1000=3999 unless i’m bad
There are 5000 terms in the set of even numbers from 2 to 10000.
an = a1 + (n - 1)d
10000 = 2 + 2(n - 1)
n = 5000
@alexphan202020 it was choice B, which is extended analogy. i put hypothetical musings first, but it wasn’t really hypothetical, while on the other hand the author extends the image of the dream (a metaphor for his perception of it) throughout the passage.
@dogeater then its 4,000
As for essays, I’ve heard that people fabricate examples in terms of minute details, like talk about a general that never existed etc, so I’m sure you’re okay with inaccurate trivial details missing as they speed through it in 2 minutes anyway.
@Terraform Yea my point was that from 2 to 10000 the positive even integers are 4999 from 0 to 10000 it WOULD’VE been 5000
Goddamn I swear if it’s 3999 I will have words with…well, no one but I will be annoyed.
@Mango920452 yeah i think it was A. i just remember reasoning that the other choice was missing the word “proven,” but i might be wrong XD
I sure hope it is A
Ok, to clear the math thing out.
Solution 1:
G = {p|p = 2a} (1<=a<=5000)
F = {q|q = 5b} (1<=b<=2000)
For an element to be in G but not in F, it should be an even non-multiple-of-5 integer.
Which is,
either 2mod10, 4mod10, 6mod10, or 8mod10.
There are 10000/10 = 1000 options for 2mod10, another 1000 for 4mod10, 1000 for 6mod10, and 1000 for 8mod10.
So, 1000+1000+1000+1000 = 4000.
Solution 2:
Or you could have simply taken your time to write them all out: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, 18, 22, … 9992, 9994, 9996, 9998.
There are 4000 numbers if you actually count.
@navywinter what is A?
