<p>@acme‌ No. The instructions were pretty clear, if not obvious. You can’t use your phone at any point during the exam.</p>

1482

<p>how is it 58? explain pls</p>

1483

<p>@Yakisoba‌ the answer was -3 </p>

1484

<p>Lowest value of j? Because that’s what i got for another question but Im pretty sure A (2) was the lowest value</p>

1485

<p>how is it 58? explain pls</p>

1486

<p>@Spurs2014‌ I am from Florida, so I’m hoping for a 215 to seal the National Merit</p>

<p>@bobkop the full cube had edge lengths of 3. The total surface area is 3x3x6=54. 54-1=53 for the covered up square of the cube. 53+5=58 for the remaining exposed parts of the small cube.</p>

1488

<p>@Yakisoba‌ oh wrong question then, do you mean (k^2 + a)/4= (2b +2a)/8, what can b equal? If so the answer was 4</p>

1489

<p>@silverphi‌ for the qualification vs hypothesis, it was most definitely hypothesis. He was qualifying an observation, in other words, he was limiting and explaining why he felt that way, rather than guessing at why she felt that way.</p>

1490

<p>@smargent It was talking about the sentence, not the part of the passage.</p>

1491

<p>Yeah, that’s why qualification makes sense.</p>

1492

<p>Which passage was this qualification vs hypothesis about?</p>

<p>and what was the question, I’m having a hard time recalling</p>

1493

<p>The passage about Lorna. @altzpan262</p>

<p>As for the reason why I piked hypothesis:he didn’t know for sure, and he was guessing. I had it down between qualify (or was it qualification) and hypothesis. To me, he wasn’t refining his argument, so it couldn’t be qualify.</p>

1494

<p>And the question?</p>

1495

<p>does anyone recall the writing question with Jane Goddall? </p>

1496

<p>The question was talking about why Lorna’s husband loved in and was a reference to a certain line.</p>

1497

<p>anyone can offer clarification on how to solve the function one with f(a) and g(a)?</p>

1498

<p>@Hancockwoodcock‌ </p>

<p>F(a) = a +1
a = 1
F(1) = 2
G(1) =0</p>

1499

<p>an improving sentence question, he was not . . . . . . but for being historically significant, did anyone else get “but for being” and what were the no errors in the writing?</p>
