<p>Did anyone else get 3 Ds in a row on the last writing column?</p>
<p>"Answers I'm positive on are:
1. manifesto
2.secular/..
3.caustic
4.edifying/..
5. execrate (? ) not POSTIVE about this one though"</p>
<p>I agree with all 5, including the execrate (all I remembered was that when you take a crap, you "excrete", so...).</p>
<p>I had "to endeavor" too</p>
<p>On the second page of the sentence corrections, I got like 3 no errors in a row, in the first row on the right.</p>
<p>What about the a=x+3 question? I put a(a+3) because I had NO idea whatsoever.</p>
<p>ctgirl: no, but I got a lot of fluctuating between d's and e's....</p>
<p>liberalistic: I think where you're talking about, I'm guessing, from my calculator answers, that part I got 4, 5, 5, 4, which corresponds to D, E, E, D respectively. And for the a=whatever, I think I got a(a+6) just plug in numbers.</p>
<p>Someone said that the intersecting triangles problem was 9, but I am pretty sure it was 18. What did everyone else put? </p>
<p>Second question: The tests that will be administered on the other date are different than the ones we took today correct? And if that is the case, anyone know how that affects the score distributions for both tests?</p>
<p>My entire county is scheduled to take the test on the 20th because our fall break covers all the testing dates, but I will be in california then. What test do they get?</p>
<p>the overlapping triangles was 9 because the perimeter of one triangle was 90, the other was 81 so the difference was 9.</p>
<p>i think that was right</p>
<p>easy way to check is just to plug in numbers</p>
<p>i plugged in 10 and 0.... a(a+3) worked for both so that must be it</p>
<p>What about the a=x+3 question? I put a(a+3) because I had NO idea whatsoever.
The answer is a(a+6), because (x^2 - 9) is equal to (x+3)(x-3), and a=x-3.</p>
<p>It was 66 and 48 and the difference is 18.</p>
<p>Someone said that the intersecting triangles problem was 9, but I am pretty sure it was 18. What did everyone else put?</p>
<p>9, because there were, I believe, 4 "small" equilateral triangles from which you could derive both perimeters. Big one=90, small one=81, difference=9.</p>
<p>what was the question for "execrete"?</p>
<p>what was the question for "execrete"?</p>
<p>You needed a synonym for "despicable" or "abhorrent."</p>
<p>As I recall, the internal segments of one triangle were 14 10 and 9 and the other were 7 6 and 11. Add them together and multiply by two to find the perimeter of the entire triangle. Then subtract the two to get 18. Please tell me that I did not misread the question.</p>
<p>BNHrobotics, sorry dude, the side of the smaller equilateral was 27, the bigger triangle had a side of 30.</p>
<p>difference of 3</p>
<p>3 * 3 = 9.</p>
<p>what did you put for four lines on a point.... with lengths of 13...11... and total 20 or something
i think i put 5</p>
<p>Are we talking about the same question?</p>
<p>The Grid-in, right?</p>
<p>100% sure that it was 9, not 18.</p>
<p>Who totally cannot wait two months for their scores?</p>
<p>what did you put for four lines on a point.... with lengths of 13...11... and total 20 or something i think i put 5</p>
<p>I think that one was simply 13-8=5. If not, I have just forgotten - but I remember that one being REALLY easy.</p>
