<p>The second, easier grid-in section was real.</p>

<p>At least, that's what another CCer said on a different thread - the math grid-ins were sections 5&7 and the only test that matches that above says 5 was equating.</p>

<p>Why did I just get one grid-in?
And I didn't get the "mars" and "japanese art" passage for CR?
I'm so confused, did I take a wrong one?</p>

<p>..................... There were upwards of five versions, don't worry.</p>

<p>Based upon taking the test myself and reading this entire thread, there were two versions of the test in the US and one international version. Hoganwan did you have one of these?</p>

<p>VERSION 1:</p>

<ol>
<li>Effects of music on children</li>
<li>Art History with Michelangelo</li>
<li>Human tendency to complete images</li>
<li>Two weathermen</li>
<li>James Forten - African American businessman in Philadelphia</li>
</ol>

<p>VERSION 2:
1. Stand up comedians
2. Getting Lost
3. Mars - did it have water
4. Struggling Japanese artist</p>

<p>INTERNATIONAL VERSION
1. Was a work of art painted by Van Eyck
2. Japanese poetry/haikus
3. Paired Passage on the West
4. The search of extraterrestrial intelligence</p>

<p>'Version 2' is mostly in the eastern US, while 'Version 1' was mainly given in the West.</p>

<p>international version here..
sunnyboy thanks a lot for naming the comprehensions/passages..
clears a lotta confusion..</p>

<p>I had Vers. 2</p>

<p>i had version 2</p>

<p>version 2.....and I'm at West Coast.....?? It's was pretty easy, i guess, except for that one question about the Khyber Pass...what did you guys put for that one? I decided on 'Remote and Exotic' after wasting five minutes on the question.....</p>

<p>i put remote and exotic location, and really believe its right. however, im in the minority. </p>

<p>i posted my explanation somewhere else, and don't feel like looking for it. however, as soon as i read the question, it seemed perfectly clear to me that "remote and exotic" was the answer. however, nobody can know for sure until the grades come out.</p>

<p>Oh about that question about what does "trade" mean, I think it really is commerce. Because I remember someone said that commerce was a trick answer, but the trick answer is actually "exchange", a choice I remember.</p>

<p>Oh and for the people with the Forten/constellations test, there was a sentence completion question about someone who wanted to run a marathon in a desert or something. Did you put debilitated and disheartened or was the answer dehydrated? I put the former but the other one seemed correct too.</p>

<p>Version 1... Does anyone know which section is removed? I really hope that will be two weathermen... I was not feeling well when I was taking that section...</p>

<p>it was section 5 which was an easy writing unfortuneately :(</p>

<p>yeah I had version 2, as well.</p>

<p>I took this from the other thread:</p>

<p>Someone said: "Triangle Only- grid in question asking which shaded shape was similar to the original"</p>

<p>I'm saying: I don't think that question was a grid-in, this was the problem with the isoceles triangle, the square, and the rectangle that all had 2 inches cut off the from the bottom? and it asked which figures would be the similar to the original?</p>

<p>I think it was the triangle and rectangle, because when you cut off 2 inches from the triangle you can see it'll still be isoceles and when you cut 2 inches off of the rectangle it's still a rectangle</p>

<p>what did everyone else put?</p>

<p>i put the triangle only because the triangle stays the same but the rectangle becomes a rectangle but with different dimensions</p>

<p>rectangle doesnt work becaue the proportion is no longer the same
isosceles stilll works</p>

<p>yeah, it's just triangle.</p>

<p>but the rectangle still stays a rectangle, doesn't it? doesn't that mean it's similiar?</p>

<p>the triangle stays an isoceles triangle</p>

<p>the square becomes a rectabgle</p>

<p>and the rectangle stays a rectangle ... sorry I'm not understanding this :(</p>

<p>yes it's still a rectangle, but it's length and width will differ proportionally compared to each other (you're not changing the width, but you're changing the length when you cut the 2 inches off). As a result, they're not similar.</p>
