<p>“Square pyramid comparison”… I don’t recall any questions of that sort with options 60, 240 etc. Anyone care to clarify?</p>

<p>Square pyramid comparison? Dafuq. Is that US Math exam or something?</p>

<p>Yeah exactly. Fat_Nerd, can you confirm Doctor A?</p>

<p>I put Doctor A as well, and I’m quite sure that’s correct.</p>

<p>Once again, Fat_Nerd’s rumination is correct.</p>

<p>The pyramid thingy is from the US experimental math. From the comments I read , I think it resembles a cone comparison question in one of the leaked do-not-show-on-CC tests.</p>

<p>As for the doctors - I reckon it wasn’t A (again,not sure). As far as I remember , in this question you had to search the biggest value averaged with the least number. Something like 180 hours / 30 patients.</p>

<p>Yes, Doctor A, he had the highest ratio of patients per hour which was 2.4</p>

<p>Yep, that’s it - 2.4. It’s A</p>

<p>I think it was which doctor had the most number of patients per hour. Can anyone confirm?</p>

<p>So wait, the answer was Doctor A right?</p>

<p>Yes 10charrrrr</p>

<p>Doctor A…</p>

<p>Couldn’t complete my essay on time! Wrote a good intro, 2 long body paras and … time was called. The 3rd para probably needed a sentence or two to round it off. Plus, no conclusion either. What’s the best I can manage to score?</p>

<p>Doctor A, no doubts there, it wasn’t even a difficult question.</p>

<p>Hands down, Doctor A!</p>

<p>My essay…
I didn’t even halt a single second to plan my content, for the sake of two pages.
From the past experience, I realized that the number of words is more vital than the concreteness of content to a large extent.</p>

<p>^ do you remember the short passage in the experimental section? …was that the orcas one?</p>

<p>^I got a writing experimental, and I did the orcas passage.
So the passage is definitely not experimental.</p>

<p>I think the first reading section is experimental.</p>

<p>What about writing section? The optical illusion one is experimental?</p>

<p>And some about the 20 minute math section question:</p>

<p>One is about some x+y=7 and x<=2y (something like that)
The answer is x<y?
And the parabola question, is the answer 20?
I got the first one by the method of enumeration (listed out all contingencies)
And the second one by differentiation and sum of roots (I knew later that answers can be instantly reached by the symmetrical property of parabola)</p>
