Test Preparation
221

<p>should we have an aim chatroom so we can discuss?</p>

222

<p>sarorah</p>

<p>for heartache, i put that it compares scientific to poetic
and i think i put conceive also</p>

<p>and yah i was having a blast during the math sections!!!! woooohoooooo lol</p>

223

<p>I don't know that either..does anybody have last year's qualifying scores? I think ours was like 215 (ohio)</p>

224

<br>


<br>

<p>Am I the only one that put 7.5% for this one? As of right now, I'm certain I have every problem right and seeing several people with 13.333% are damaging my hopes for an 80 a bit<<</p>

<p>So can anyone explain how you do this problem. I know I eliminated anything below 10%. I think I put E. 15%</p>

225

<p>hey ilovemath...did you get 30 for the one with 2 in the unit digit?</p>

226

<p>Dangggg, does anybody have a photographic memory and remember what was on the pie chart and the car maintenance question?</p>

227

<p>made in china:</p>

<p>maintenance was 10% The amount she pays (since insurance is 25%) is 75%. find the % of a %:</p>

<p>.10/.75 = .1333</p>

228

<br>


<br>

<p>Thank God my state's national merit qualifyinf score is like 208 or some where in the low 200s. That gives me a year to raise my score atleast by 50 points</p>

229

<p>Yes. She didn't have to pay insurance which was 25%. That left 75% for her to pay. Maintenace was 10% of the original. So 10% of the 75% she pays is 10/75=13.333</p>

230

<p>I live like down the road from WV .. I wish I lived there, but no.. I had to live in Virginia damn i know i'm gonna do bad </p>

<p>i put 13.333%
missed juxtapose too :(
and i put 30 for #19 before the #20 with the arc
and listen sr6622 i left 3 blank on the math so .. dont feel terribly bad
i thought it was "compare a scientific image to a poetic one" too for soo long arrggh and i changed it at the last sec .. shoulda known that extreme answers are not right
yeah i'm up for a chat room if you all wanna do that</p>

<p>oh yeah what about the one with the "paradigm" answer in the sentence completion .. with Venus flytraps and plants eating animals and vice versa?</p>

<p>and i put abated - inured (workers and the noise), is that wrong?</p>

231

<p>For the a>b>c triangle problem, I think the answer is only I since the angles could be 61 for a, 59 for b, and c would have to be 60, but C has to be less than 45.</p>

232

<p>Oooooh now I see, I took 10% of 75</p>

<p>....>_<</p>

233

<br>


<br>

<p>maintenance was 10% The amount she pays (since insurance is 25%) is 75%. find the % of a %:</p>

<p>.10/.75 = .1333<<</p>

<p>Thanks. I tried to make it harder than what it really was. I was typing bs into my calculator like mad</p>

234

<p>Wait, what was the sultry one?</p>

235

<p>A lot of people were asking for the 2 math questions on the pie chart:</p>

<p>the first was asked for what the missing x percentage was => add up the others and subtract from 100% => I think I got 35%. </p>

<p>The second one had tricky wording. the answer I got was 10%/75% = 13.3333%.</p>

236

<p>flamestrike - </p>

<p>its I and III</p>

<p>C can be greater than 45 but has to be less than 60: </p>

<p>62>60>58</p>

237

<p>The number of posts is 230+...I wish that was my score....</p>

<p>Hey what do you guys think the curves are?</p>

238

<p>"juxtapose is like to combine, which was right answer</p>

<p>the heartache is "to compare a scientific image to a poetic one""</p>

<p>juxtapose does mean to combine, but I think the answer was complement, because it said side by side in the question.</p>

<p>If juxtapose was the right answer, I'm going to be really mad, because I knew what all the words meant!!!</p>

239

<p>yes fiddlesticks i got 30 for that.. i think</p>

240

<p>Yes, please, we need a curve discussion! How will it differ from the practice booklet scale. I know nothing of these matters and rely on smart CCers to figure it out for me.</p>
