<p>Ihateschool007, you're referring to the last grid-in. The answer was 120. </p>

<p>I'm trying to remember the grid-in w/ the answer 5 too. I know there was one MC that had an answer of 5. It was like 5/x = 5 + a/x+a and it asked for x. I don't think that's what you're talking about though, matrixrebloated.</p>

<p>ok if it was grind in then i couldht have gotten -120. yay,i knew i got 120 but didnt kno if it was negative or not</p>

<p>Julina, I put reluctance to leave job because all the descriptions seemed so exaggerate it...and it asked for the primary reason. 10 Chars means the 10 character rule.</p>

<p>I still want to know the 8000 Math MC! Even if it was easy, I seriously don't remember it.</p>

<p>gxing - I totally agree with you.</p>

<p>It was A and B, and you had to subtract one from the other. 20000-12000 i think...sorry can't remember much.</p>

<p>The MC that had 8000 was a table that said population and number of people per sq mile. You had to figure out how much bigger country A was than country B.</p>

<p>The actual answer was something like 8137 and you had to pick the closest value.</p>

<p>wat were the other choices in that question... i cant remember if i put trenchant or something else</p>

<p>what did u all get for the second question in the identify errors section. I was deciding between E and "means of" it was like "it was a means of..." i thought that since "a" is singular it would be "a mean of" instead of "a means of"</p>

<p>OH! Now I remember, I think A was like 19000 and B was like 11000. Well, thanks guy. =]</p>

<p>I had E for that one. Means is used as a singular noun in the context.</p>

<p>The correct idiom is "means of" for both singular & plural nouns, I believe.</p>

<p>does anyone kno the otther choices in teh trenchant rappers question</p>

<p>One of them was prosaic i think...</p>

<p>Nebulous and circumvent were two of the choices I believe.</p>

<p>The last one was benign.</p>

<p>yes, i put trenchant, thanks a lot.... i jsut realized i didnt know wat trenchant meant but cancelled out all the other ones.</p>

<p>did any of u get like 12 pi for the one with the 2 semi circles and it asked for hte length of the curvy line</p>

<p>Yes it's 12pi. Because each circumference of semicircle is radius x pi. And the radii added up to 12, so it had to be 12pi.</p>

<p>There was a question about REAL NUMBERS? I think it had I II III and it's possibly the question that was talked about (7, 8.5, 10).</p>

<p>Wasn't it I II and III because they said real numberS?</p>

<p>was part of the question like the mode is 3 and median is 6?</p>

<p>was this in the experminetal section because i dont remember having this question and i had one extra
CR section.</p>

<p>no, it was something about a book long in the writing. the lesser students would probably have chosen long in the writing as the mistake... i put mistrust with because that isjust wrong... </p>

<p>was this a writing question in the section with the african paragraph at the end? cuz if it was, it was experimental cuz the only writing section i had was the one with antartica</p>
