<p>i take mine at 9. call me lol</p>

<p>All I can say is 'wow'. The first math section was by the easiest section. The hardest was the first CR section.</p>

<p>Anyways did anyone else get 1600 for that train one, 0 for the grid in, 3.5 for that find the area one....</p>

<p>I got 0 and 3.5, but 1200 for the train one because it it said the train started with the front just entering the tunnel and after x seconds the back of the train was leaving the tunnel, so you have to subract 200 from 1400 to get the length</p>

<p>are you sure it was 1200?? Because if it was then IM SCREWED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1</p>

<p>yep, it was definitely 1200</p>

<p>I also got 3.5</p>

<p>CR was sooooo gay</p>

<p>I'll be ****ed if I don't get 80 math and 80 or maybe -1 or 2 on WS (which could still be an 80!)</p>

<p>dang it. i put 1400 for the train one...</p>

<p>yea, they're tricky like that</p>

<p>1st math section, last question. Was it B, 3.5 for the area of the quad? I thought the 1st CR section was a breeze but the 2nd one was killed my score.</p>

<p>I got 4 for the area one</p>

<p>The bottom half was 2, but the top half threw me off...it was drawn to scale though, so I estimated and it looked like 2 to me. Anyone else get 4? And I got 1200 for the train one too. Also, was the area of the rectangular box one the square root of rst ?</p>

<p>yea i got sq. root rst. For the area of the Quad, I got distance of the line segments and started making triangles and rectangles. Is -1 on the Math automatically drop u down to 76?</p>

<p>I can state, confidently, the area of the quad was 4.5. To find out: find the dist. b/w (0,0) and the other point in the upper right. Then find the dist from (0,0) and the point in the upper left, and double that number. Find out the area of the triangle, using the numbers you got. That would give you 5.12 or something like that. The sub. the approx. value of the triangle in the upper left quad, b/c it's the same triangle part in the lower right. That should give you 4.5. Hope you understood that.</p>

<p>Well I can state, confidently, that the answer was 3.5
All you need to do is.
1. Draw a rectangle around the whole 4x2 region
2. Subtract 4 right triangles to get the figure</p>

<p>u get 8-2-.5-1-1=3.5</p>

<p>Never thought of doing it that way. My answer answer was 3.39 or something so I picked 3.5. In my opinon, that was the hardest question on the test.</p>

<p>Does anyone konw the answer to the writing question about the mask with interchangable parts.
Was tehre an error (it would be "its" appearance).
Tahnks</p>

<p>u could divide the thing into a trapezoid and a weird looking triangle
the trap had area 2, and the triangle 1.5 = 3.5</p>

<p>Also, could someone post the answers to the first crit reading section?</p>

<p>I also got 3.5.
Broke the figure into 2 parts: a triangle with a base of 3 units and a height of 1, and a trapezoid with one base of 3 units and another base 1 unit with a height of 1 also. Found the areas of those figures and added them up with a result of 3.5.
The math and writing was easier than I expected. But the first CR section was difficult.</p>

<p>What did you guys put for teh sentence completions?</p>

<p>Please answers!!!!!!!</p>

<p>MATH
this is what I remember
1200 (train)
125 (odd numbers)
0 (x-k)
6007 or something liek hatt
3.5</p>
