<p>fruitcake: good idea, i will start compiling.......</p>

<p>^^
nice!</p>

<p>In the math MC,
was the answer to the square root problem (3 less than the square root of x is 8, what is x-1) 120?</p>

<p>andreaaaaaa,</p>

<p>Yes, there was an error in the idiom. It should have been "inspired by", not "inspired from"</p>

<p>^ Why not? Many reporters are indifferent/impartial in their articles, yet still frequently write them.</p>

<hr>

<p>The answer to the square root problem was 120.</p>

<p>talkin gabout the no errors thing.....
I felt sooo bad for the kid in front of me.......
He could just not spot the errors....
he was freaking out and you could tell.......
I was talkn to him later and he said he put no error for 95 percent of them.........
I felt bad</p>

<p>t can't be indifferent because if he was indifferent... he wouldn thave been writing about it</p>

<p>^
he was indifferent to the other guy's opinion/view</p>

<p>but for SAT PASSAGES they probally wont be indifferent</p>

<p>thats true, but it's still possible; just not very likely. i put indifferent though because it didn't seem like he cared at all about hte guy, and had a scarcastic remark at the end.</p>

<p>I think it was indifferent because the author responded by saying something about a walk being adventurous also or something like that.. which doesn't really show criticism, but rather humorous indifference.</p>

<p>"but for SAT PASSAGES they probally wont be indifferent"</p>

<p>Hmmm, I don't think you can really make that assumption...</p>

<p>anybody remember any other CR and writing questions? we've been debating this indifferent/critical thing for a long time now</p>

<p>So what do you guys think of the curve in writing?</p>

<p>This year's section seemed pretty easy</p>

<p>does anybody know about what the cut off will be for national merit semi-finalist this year for washington state?</p>

<p>yea writing seemed easy even though i kno i missed 2-3 already -_-</p>

<p>daneshk, no one knows until around fall......the 2005 cutoff just came out and it was 219.....the range for next year will probably be around 218-223.</p>

<p>for the math question where it aksed about c, d, e, f, and which was greater than which, was the answer E</p>

<p>math was by far the easiest section..</p>

<p>yes it was e</p>

<p>^agreed</p>

<p>I think I got "e>d>c>f", dunno which choice that was.</p>
