<p>I got all of above</p>
<p>Yes.
yz > 0 because x is furthest on the left and therefore has to be negative. And since the result has to be a negative it has to be mutiplied by a positive. so yz have to be positive.
x < 0 because it is furthers on the left.
All three are odd because:</p>
<p>1(1)(1)=1 odd
1(1)(2)=2 even
1(2)(2)=4 even
2(2)(2)=8 even</p>
<p>The hat and scarves was definitely 3/2 and I can’t remember the answer choices for the xyz problem, but they all must be odd, yz > 0 and x < 0</p>
<p>it is all of the above</p>
<p>crap, after reading the boards I feel a lot less confident than I did initially. Thought I didn’t feel very confident anyway.</p>
<p>Any opinions about the “find the mistake in this sentence” question regarding the bird phenomenon? I kept coming back to the “explanation of” vs. “explanation for”. I think I ended up putting no error :/</p>
<p>I think Explanation of is correct
therefore, I put NE</p>
<p>I don’t understand why it would by halcyon/onerous instead of tedious/feckless.</p>
<p>For halycon/onerous, it does fit:
English lady found Indians life to be calm, not troublesome like everyone thought.</p>
<p>For tedious/feckless:
English lady found Indian life to be tiring, not lazy like everyone thought. </p>
<p>Couldn’t they both be right?</p>
<p>Also:
I am 99% sure that the other workers RESENTED Hari. They were afraid he was going to take their jobs. </p>
<p>And I’m 99% sure that the watchmaker apprenticing Hari showed him that he had hope for advancement</p>
<p>And wasn’t Hari stunned? After the watchmaker asked him, he “didn’t know what to say so he just nodded” So he’s too stunned to speak.</p>
<p>@mabs yeah, that makes sense. I think I’m just used to hearing “explanation for” colloquially.</p>
<p>Halycon onerous is better</p>
<p>Tiring and Lazy isnt the best contrast</p>
<p>Noooooooooooo, i did so bad. I needed above a 221 but i ain’t gettin that. I’m far from it.</p>
<p>@elain</p>
<p>I changed my answer to “explanation of” like 1 minute b4 time was called but then I remembered that explanation of could also be correct and changed right back :)</p>
<p>hope it’s right</p>
<p>Gah. I’m mad. My practice tests I got perfect CR scores, but I’ve already missed 2-3 for CR. Did horrible for math section 2 too.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the T-shirts question? D or E?</p>
<p>@chocobok I don’t think tedious/feckless works because of the other definition of feckless: ineffective; incompetent; futile</p>
<p>tedious and that definition of feckless are not direct atonyms, whereas halcyon/onerous are</p>
<p>To be quite honest, I just eliminated all the others and went with halcyn/onerous. I wasn’t even positive what their meanings were.</p>
<p>Vocabulary killed me! I think I got -5 on CR - all on vocabulary!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you’re right. </p>
<p>So now I have -3 on CR for sure. 
And that’s my best section. Definitely didn’t get National Merit Scholar…</p>
<p>I think I might have gotten a 220. That’s probably a bit of a high estimate though.</p>
<p>Wait wait wait… why is everyone quibbling over explanation of/for? I think both are grammatically correct. I was more concerned with the fact that the underlined part was actually “explanation for THE”. I thought considering the phenomenon had already been explained, shouldn’t it have been “explanation for THIS phenomenon”?</p>
<p>In any case, I put no error because those were both insignificant… but still. Have you guys considered that?</p>
<p>Man…i missed somewhere in the 4 area on the CR… I really wish they’d throw out disdain vs resentment (though I know you guys are tired of hearing that… I am too :P)</p>
<p>Man math ****ed me over. I was so sure I got a perfect score and then I realized in the partly shaded circle I accidentally used 180 degrees in lieu of 360! Yargh!!! Plus there’s still debate over whether there is another point with the same distances from X and A or B or whatever…</p>
<p>@chocobok
Don’t worry, after reading the boards I’ve seen how badly I did on the math section (probably -2 or 3)and my dreams are going down the toilet too. I guess we can just pray that everyone got dumber. :/</p>
<p>for the math question it was only I and II. it asked which of the choices MUST be true.</p>
<p>The reason why yz>0 is NOT necessarily true is because y and z could both be smaller negative numbers than x and still make xyz come out to be negative.</p>
<p>x<0 because that’s the smallest number and at least one MUST be negative.</p>
<p>@michaelwiggins
I had the same “it” versus “this” debate with the question regarding the scientist’s new discovery. I don’t remember the sentence exactly, but it goes “They discovered this new thing blah blah blah; IT has forced them…”
Shouldn’t it be THIS? I put that as the error. It drove me nuts.</p>
