<p>hey guys,
What did you all say about the julia butterfly passage. was the WRONG choice (aka the answer we should have marked) "ascended up?" i felt like "ascended" and "ascended up" is kind've ambiguous.</p>

<p>aux, yea a) was scaled my bad I also put ascended up</p>

<p>auxsoleil, the answer to the last question was 9.72, which i think was B)</p>

<p>its' = not a real word</p>

<p>math section, there was 3 questions in package and all the answers were E. anyone agree? (wasnt sure about the first) I dont remember the question though</p>

<p>hmmm i put "ascended" because it implies that she physically lifted the tree up, rather than just climbed it. ...right?</p>

<p>wait so was the answer "ascended" or "ascended up" ???</p>

<p>peach, after reading ur comment, i am not sure about ascended up anymore =(</p>

<p>ascended up. ascended does not imply the tree itself was lifted up...i'm not sure why you would think that. if i ascended the mountain, i didn't lift it up...i climbed it.</p>

<p>so ascended up is wrong because it's redundant?</p>

<p>what's 7 wrong in reading and 7 wrong in sceince?</p>

<p>I think I did as well..weren't they related? I think it was the charts with the childcare thing. I was running out of time and put C for each, then came back last minute and realized it was easy. I know I at least had 2 E's, and I believe a third? Not so sure though..</p>

<p>and the its'..I think it was just its</p>

<p>it has to be ascended up. </p>

<p>does anyone remember what the other answers were to why the photographer became famous?(in addition to the "correct" one of his technology?")</p>

<p>Math killed me
I guess on like 7
Science was pretty bad this time too. They better have a nice curve, no stupid crappy dropoffs, like 40/40 =36, and then 39/40=34
none of that crap i hope
But yeah
i got a 30 last time on science, and i have a feeling i did worse on it this time</p>

<p>I didn't put "its'" ... and my best section is always writing (35 last time)... I'm almost positive I'm right.</p>

<p>I put "ascended up" E... it's just not right. The choices were: Keep it, climbed, climbed up, ascended, ascended up ... it asked what would be LEAST correct... Plus, ascended never means to pick up, it means to climb. "Ascended up" is not a common phrase, while climbed up is (even though it's also redundant)</p>

<p>Senluck: I got 2^2 * 5 also. It was prime factorization. 2 of the answer choices had #'s that weren't prime. One just didn't = the # in the eq.</p>

<p>for the one about the thunderheads in the reading section, did anyone else say they represented the rapidity of change?</p>

<p>ascended up is definitely wrong (so choosing it would get you a right answer)...the next couple sentences down, the passage states "when she descended". It wasn't "when she descended down". So basically they consider the "up" redundant.</p>

<p>And yes, I said the thunderstorms were rapidity of change. But I ran outta time on the fiction (I worked backwards because science is my strongest reading) and basically guessed which one sounded right.</p>

<p>I've taken a lot of practice math tests, and I've never had a huge issue with time. I've only had to guess on 2 or 3 at most and get around a 32. Today I had to guess on about 8!
What's weird is I always have issues with time on reading and science. Today I got through most of it. I don't think I did so well on them though.</p>

<p>"it has to be ascended up. "
Yeah that was correct (as the wrong answer. the other 3 were better)
You can climb a mountain(mountain is assumed to be sloped, so climbing a mountain infers up)
You can climb up a mountain(climb up is still appropriate)</p>

<p>You can ascend a mountain (go up it)
But you cannot ascend up something
It is complete, useless redundancy.</p>

<p>liveinlove, yes i put that as well.
i put ascended up.
ahh can anybody tell me about the 7 wrong on reading and science thing yet, NOT looking at the curve bigtwix mentioned?</p>

<p>also, should the addition of "age of twentythree" be made?</p>
