<p>reading - Forten/businessman guy and weather forecaster passages were tough. Others like constellations and women in art were pretty easy. </p>
<p>what did you think about those passages?</p>
<p>Lets discuss the critical reading sections. Did anyone have the passage about the girl who was having trouble with her art? I think I bombed this section because I didn't get to 6 of the questions and had to randomly fill them in. :( But I think I did well with the passage about the guy who had no sense of direction.</p>
<p>they said his 9th term ended in Dec 2000
im pretty sure his term began Jan 1983</p>
<p>Jan 1999 ~ Dec 2000
This is the length of one presidential term... i believe that his first term began in Jan 1983</p>
<p>take 2 yrs off from Dec 2000 for every presidential term
do that 9 times you get Dec 1982 (that's when it would have ended if he had previously served another term), so his first term begins in Jan 1983</p>
<p>i could be wrong...
did anyone have this question?</p>
<p>I had thoes same exact passages...they wernt too bad but there's always a chance I didnt do as well as i thought.</p>
<p>because for each you get wrong, you lose 1/4.</p>
<p>Miss 4 = -4</p>
<p>plus losing 4 quarters, or just 1 point.</p>
<p>which is -5 and thus a raw score of 44.</p>
<p>i thought weather forecaster was really hard
i thought Forten was rather doable while constellation was pretty tough</p>
<p>You guys it was y. The answer was 3 right?</p>
<p>Or 5</p>
<p>N e ways, how many possible ways were there for the absolute value?</p>
<p>It was like =6</p>
<p>does anyone remember some of the answers from weather forecaster passage</p>
<p>i think one of the questions was
wat would the author of passage 2 regard Larry from passage 1 as</p>
<p>hmm I had different passages...anyone have the one with the hispanic girl who wants to finish HS and promises not to marry?</p>
<p>timing was the issue for me with the art reading passage. does anyone remember any of the answers for this one?</p>
<p>fitz for the absolute value one it was 0 absolute value cant equal a negative</p>
<p>The number was equal to a negative? Dang.</p>
<p>Just2Fitz, the answer was 5, not 3, because it's 2^2 + 2^2 + 1^2 = 9, SO 2+2+1 = 5.</p>
<p>I thought the absolute value question was "none" because it's something along the line of |6 - etc.| = a negative number (pretty sure it's -6). So it's zero. Unless I read it wrong.</p>
<p>On the form with the weather forecaster and two math grid-in sections, a few things:</p>
<p>[ul]
[<em>]Section V (math) was really really really really hard. There were some problems where using calculus was the most direct and fastest solution method. I think this one's equating
[</em>]There was this vocab word that appeared and then appeared later in the weather forecasting passage. I can't remember what word it was, but the choices were like "wrongheaded...(this word) and misguided...remonstrating". Something about politicians? Maybe?
[li]Section X featured a weird sentence that had to do with a Black history month in February. I can't remember the details, but it was between (B) and (C).[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>oh, and it's 1983 for the math grid-in</p>
<p>anyone remember exactly what the West Coast essay prompt was? something about "are current rules sufficient to guide people's real-life behavior?"</p>
<p>I had a Writing experimental section.</p>
<p>You guys, what did you get for the question that said for each prime squared starting with 1. </p>
<p>So it was like </p>
<p>1, 5, 25,49,81,....</p>
<p>What's the difference between the 8 and 9</p>
<p>that was 64</p>
<p>For the prime problem, it was 17^2 - 15^2 = 64.</p>
<p>who is holding the aim chat right now? How do i get in?</p>
<p>that aim chat is a mess its just a thousand people asking questions at once the forum is so much better</p>
