<p>Do you guys remember a short passage about this girl kicking some other girl out of her house and there was a question asking why the author uses parenthesis. I also vaguely remember that the girl got a job somewhere.</p>

422

<p>Nope. That must’ve been the experimental section.</p>

423

<p>One question, can CR experimental section be different? My friend and I had different experimental sections, which is weird.</p>

424

<p>It’s 1126 because it asked for the PRODUCT of the digits = to 12.</p>

<p>1026 would equal 0 since it multiplies by 0.</p>

425

<p>What were the answers for the paragraph improvement ?</p>

<p>Can I get confirmation on any of these?
also could someone post more of writing?</p>

429

<p>what was the answer to the math question if:</p>

<p>g(k+1)=2, then what is g(k)?</p>

<p>anyone??</p>

<p>^^#17. I put “moraines”</p>

<p>For the writing, i vaguely remember something a question about shrimp
Also, “described by ____ as one of the greatest” was the answer, right?</p>

430

<p>sorry moraines is referring to #16</p>

431

<p>@ccredd for the math one i think it was something like -6? but i don’t really remember</p>

432

<p>@Bmfbham. I put 3 for that one. Does that sound familiar to you?</p>

433

<p>actually 3 does sound familiar! i think -6 was a different problem</p>

434

<p>YESS!! THANK YOU!
so maybe i didn’t completely bomb the math :)</p>

435

<p>what do i get if i missed 2 grid ins for math and 4 or 5 for critical reading? i mean what should i expect my math and crit reading scores to be?</p>

436

<p>zacattack, if everything else is right and the curve is normal, probably a 750 on each section.</p>

437

<p>what was the answer to the question: what is left after a wire that is pi(x) long, is cut in x/12 pieces? Was this part of the experimental section or not?</p>

438

<p>Something tells me I may have answered “1134” instead of “1126.” Crap.</p>

439

<p>does anyone remember the question with g(k) and g(k+2)… what was the question and what was its answer?</p>

440

<p>I’m pretty sure the cold one wasn’t impersonal…the lady was writing about her personal journey.
@zachattack last sat I missed 6 and skipped 1 on CR and made a 700, if that helps.</p>
