<p>Thanks,

2

<p>uhhh....HOW did you remember all those</p>

3

<p>Hmmm.... VB scripting doesn't work? Was I suppose to use < and >
<bold> Test </bold>
Test</p>

<p>Anyways reviewing these answers, I missed 2 grid-ins and left 1 blank for Math.
I hope 760 or 780?</p>

<p>Verbal - I hope 680?</p>

4

<p>lol.... I'm no pyschic, I went through all 1200+ threads on the SAT I thing and took all the question/answers I found.</p>

<p>hehe I figured out what I did wrong for VB
Yay</p>

5

<p>im hoping for 780 math, and just anywhere 650 or above for verbal</p>

6

<p>im pretty sure the answer to "14) implore:ask and :: inquire:question" was plead:request...</p>

7

<p>I don't agree with </p>

<p>14) implore:ask and :: inquire:question I'd say (pled : request)</p>

<p>and (CR) </p>

<p>3) A Fair Adavntage
Answer: Radical Principle (something about a misguided notion)</p>

<p>I'm not sure what the consensus was in the big thread.</p>

8

<p>Fair Advantage, anyone else disagree about the answer as radical principle? (This is what I put)</p>

<p>I'm positive implore:ask is inquire:question
Implore means to ask
Inquire means to question
Plead means to request (I didn't choose this one because of the intensity of plead to request)</p>

9

<p>i put misguided idea</p>

10

<p>yeah I second the Misguided notion</p>

11

<p>question...the 23n/17...was that E or D. I can't remember, but I know I put down 23 something...was it E?</p>

12

<p>61, 63</p>

<p>I still think it's 41, 43 because BOTH are prime</p>

13

<p>how about the one with that addition
PQR
+RQP
= NTN</p>

<p>it was a quantative comparison, and i got it wrong on last year's test, hopefully i learned from my silly mistake. It asked P+R+2Q and 20 was the other part.</p>

14

<p>forever,
it said something about the first number being prime..and the second to next odd number is prime too.. it then went on to ask which of these pairs made this statement not correct. 61 (prime)...63 (divisible)</p>

15

<p>I said 20 was greater:</p>

<p>314+</p>

<h2>413</h2>

<p>727</p>

<p>4+3+2(1) = 9 <20</p>

16

<p>tongos, i just put D...I wasn't quite sure..and it didn't make sense to me...but I've heard the answer is B too...it just made no sense :@ I could have done something stupid though...</p>

17

<p>Ok misguided notion then. I will change it later.</p>

<p>23n/17, I'm positive that was D not E.</p>

<p>

[/quote]

41, 43 are both prime so it doesn't work.
The question wants a pair with the first number being prime, and the next number not being prime. 61, 63 is the answer</p>

18

<p>argh, that QC digit problem was my 1 error on the math section. really stupid error too. i hope i don't lose my 800 becuz of this.</p>

19

<p>i put that too 20 is greater (yay), geez is it a coincidence that this was the same exact test that i took last time??? or is this normal?</p>

20

<p>The QC with the addition of variables and the number 20:</p>

<p>Since P + R had no remainder and the first and last digits were equal of the sum that means Q + Q also has no remainder. Which means they add up to less than 20 or else one of them would have a remainder when adding.</p>
