<p>Rabidchickens, I think f(x-1) is on there, also. That was answer choice A, I think.</p>
<p>Is it absolutely true that spare...ornate is the answer to that one? I remember one other answer that seemed a bit better to me at the time</p>
<p>I put 'spare...ornate,' but I remember there being another answer that I was very tempted to put, so it could've been either one.</p>
<p>They said economy of writing so that would lead to sparse and then ornate being the antonym...</p>
<p>Adam32, I think I put spare...ornate for that one. I don't think the other choices fit as well as that one.</p>
<p>Yeah, I put spare...ornate</p>
<p>i also got diatribes for one of them</p>
<p>thrills, diatribes here also though I couldn't recall the definition.</p>
<p>yea i got spare/ornate and diatribes</p>
<p>I've already asked this, but I'll ask again...does one critical reading question wrong mean less than an 800?</p>
<p>Guys the teacher in that exercise was reffering to the essays as terse or opinionated I'm sure about this...spare means extra and ornate is kinda like the same...</p>
<p>And the math sections were not at all harder...there was only 1 exercise in the grid-ins that I didn't know...the slope thingie...what did you guys get? i got 0.3 I think..probably very wrong...the math in the blue book was somewhat more difficult.</p>
<p>And it was definitely volcano at the black hole...it was an analogy between the destructive and creative power of both black holes and volcanoes....black holes destroy surrounding matter but still only by their existence can new stars form. Volcanoes destroy what surrounds them...but on another continent...vecinity in 3d space it rains...so clouds are formed by direct influnce of the volcano..etc:) and the polygon was realy easy. 9 sides 100%. I'm off to bed...this test was exhaustive!</p>
<p>In the CR rap/hip-hop question, does anyone else remember the other answer choices besides trenchant?</p>
<p>nebulous, prosaic, and I can't remember the rest.</p>
<p>Ornate - Elaborately, heavily, and often excessively ornamented.</p>
<p>Spare - To use with restraint</p>
<p>I'm 99% sure it was spare/ornate</p>
<p>Also, spare also means lean/trim in addition to extra. Because the teacher wanted economy of expression, he wanted the students to write sparely...so, spare and ornate, its antonym were right.</p>
<p>wainblatrobert, spare means with restraint whereas ornate means overly extravagant in style. Thus, the answer had to be spare...ornate because the professor was advocating ECONOMY in writing style. </p>
<p>As good as my memory is on these tests, I don't remember words in the trenchant Q. I remember it was the last Q of a page, on the bottom right hand corner but that's all.</p>
<p>Math the slope was 120. Benign was also a choice with nebulous and prosaic.</p>
<p>I believe trenchant was the correct answer because (I think) the question described hip-hop and rap lyrics as "edgy" or something similar.</p>
<p>Prosaic, nebulous and benign don't fit with that.</p>
<p>there was also circtitious or something with a circ in it, i knew that trenchant meant forceful, didnt know it meant an effective argument so i think that was the right answer i didnt go for it though :(</p>
<p>oh yeah it was circumspect.</p>
