<p>does anyone remember the specific stuff in this test?</p>

<p>Essay (discovery)
Math (includes SPR questions)
Writing (the one about antartica)
Reading (includes 2 long passages) (i have no clue what these passages were)
Equating (the one that doesn't count toward your score) ( i had a CR experimental but i dont remember what it was)</p>

<p>Math (dont remember any specifics)
Reading (dont remember any specifics)
Math (dont remember any specifics)
Reading (dont remember any specifics)
Writing ( the 10 question, sentence correction)</p>

1082

<p>oh i had that test form.
but somehow I don't remember anything. sorry</p>

1083

<p>On the Georgia passage, was "double standard" one of the answers?</p>

1084

<p>the last WS question</p>

<p>Beaches are often overrun by sewage, which can last for several days.</p>

<p>Why can that not be right? It's the SEWAGE that lasts for several days</p>

1085

<p>No, it's the condition of pollution that lasts for several days.</p>

<p>The right answer had semi-colon.</p>

1086

<p>Yes, the correct answer was E, the one with a semicolon. What was the answer to the last "identify the error" question? It was the one about the Gazette. I said B, since i think it need "has lost", not just "lost". Anyone remember what I'm talking about?</p>

1087

<p>Yep, Darkruler.</p>

<p>You got it right. I was definitely the "lost" part that was incorrect. </p>

<p>There was one about some author that confused me:</p>

<p>It was something like "In writing for fives years, .... " </p>

<p>It sounded weird to me.</p>

1088

<p>Ooops</p>

<p>*it</p>

1089

<p>Which question was that?</p>

1090

<p>Crap, you may be right. It was certainly an odd sentence.</p>

1091

<p>I think that's what I put too. Was that the equating section?</p>

1092

<p>maybe, i don't remember it.</p>

1093

<p>do any of you remember a sentence completion with aggrandize as one of the answer choices? or am i completely out of my mind.</p>

1094

<p>What was the full question about the "has lost" question?</p>

1095

<p>Does anyone remember if "ostentatious" was the answer to one of the sentence completion questions? That was one I guessed on.</p>

1096

<p>The last WS question had to be the semicolon because otherwise "which can last for several days" modifies "ocean", which isn't right.</p>

<p>"Lost" had to be "has lost" because I remember there was a "since" in there, which means you have to put it in the perfect tense.</p>

<p>The thing about the author I believe was no error. Some of it might have sounded weird but I think it was grammatically correct. Anyone have the full sentence? It was something about a biographer who made himself immortal right?</p>

<p>I don't remember aggrandize or ostentatious. Those may have been in the experimental section.</p>

1097

<p>I remember ostentatious as a choice to an answer (I didn't have CR experimental). I'm 90% sure it wasn't the answer.</p>

<p>OH i think it was that question about the kids who were BLANK in the morning, but they began to talk and laugh a lot as time progressed.</p>

<p>The answer was reticent, which I got wrong. I THINK ostentatious was one of the choices, but I might be 1000000% wrong.</p>

1098

<p>Yeah it wasn't in a CR experimental. I don't remember the question, but I remember guessing that as the answer. Does anybody remember the question?</p>

1099

<p>ya, i remember reticent</p>

1100

<p>i put ostentatious as well but that night when i went home i checked the dictionary and reticent was the answer</p>
