<p>I have grammatix and believe that statement is wrong. RocketReview says order of difficulty does matter. </p>
<p>Not to mention 5 seems too obvious when it says "what's the smallest" and five is the smallest in the list of the choices. ETS would plan that "average kids" who saw that the question said when he counts by 5 "he has none left" would've automatically pick 5. It's a trap. 25 would require the correct amount of thought ETS planned students to do.</p>
<p>nalcon, that is a matter of interpretation... i think it means one or the other, adding and subracting are two different things done at different times... one at a time= one or the other, not both at the same time... its all about how you understood the question</p>
<p>I don't think you can say "three's and four's" because that also makes it vague in the sense that you're counting a few three's, then a few four's...</p>
<p>but wait... they have to say three OR four, because the oly other way to say it is "he counted his crayons by threes and fours.. which is.. vague... wait, i am losing my train of thought. anyway my point is that i hope 25 is the answer</p>
<p>can anyone provide the exact (or close to) wording of that question?</p>
<p>How difficult were the CR and Writing sections compared to the Kaplan/Princeton/CB practice tests? Is it just me or are some of the kaplans critical reading questions impossible?</p>
<p>this question is causing much debate! I really believe both answers could be interpreted as correct.. with 5 being a little better...</p>
<p>so... wat copeland said is what i meant lol</p>
<p>yea there is no point in arguing, what's done is done... just wait till we get the scores and see what cb thought... then the complaing will begin (haha)</p>
<p>that would be great if someone remebered the the question exactly</p>
<p>cause i thought the Q was lke "when bob or w/e counted the crayons by threes OR when he counted them by fours, he had one left over" the OR is not a one-or-the-other-only or, but an or that incudes both... does that make any sense... lol</p>
<p>guys, is it better to complain now .. or after you get your scores?? I really think a lot of people should complain .... unless you believe you are 100% right .. personally I see both sides of the coin and believed CB worded it wrong ... wht do u think?</p>
<p>i trust my instincts, so im pretty sure i am right... but i have been known to make stupid mistakes very once in a while, im just hoping its not the case with this stupid question (die, question, die!)</p>

<p>isn't it phrased like:</p>
<p>"there's one left over when he counts 3 or 4" for that math question you were talking about?</p>
<p>was this question in section 2 or 4?</p>
<p>i am writing them an email right now</p>
<p>Which Question again?</p>
<p>the one about the man and the crayon</p>
<p>yeah um. I don't think CB worded it wrong.</p>
<p>It doesn't make sense in the context of the question.</p>
<p>The kid counting the crayons would be pretty screwy to not know whether something was 1 mod 3 or 1 mod 4.</p>
