<p>I hated the Math. It was so hard. The English stuff wasn't so bad, but I think I bombed the Math... as always.</p>
<p>If you're talking about the chair problem with probability, I didn't thik it was so bad. You just find one instance's prob (8) and mulitply by number of chiars... I think. I didn't get the X any Y equation, tho.</p>
<p>did anyone get one about a phonecall that costs $3.96 at 6am ... and then asks, what would be the price at 6pm? or something ..... i was trying to think of at&t international call rates ... that one didnt work out to well on the math section ..</p>
<p>did any one have a Critical Reading section that has a passage about an Ethiopian mom and daughter arguing//?????
i had 4 CR sectiosn, so i'm hoping this was an experimental</p>
<p>Each chair had 6 combos, multiply it by 2 b/c there are two people. Ends up being 12^2.</p>
<p>Can you post any questions or fragments of questions in the math sections that were hard? I can try to do them and see if we get the same answer.</p>
<p>i had the phone call one...i put 5 somthing i think. and i also had the foreign mother/daughter letter. cr was haaaaard
my experimental was a writing section.</p>
<p>Why did I not get a chair question OR a phone call one?</p>
<p>I thought the phone call one was easy. But there was that stupid perimeter of the triangle question! I could swear that the answer wasn't there... If the side of the triangle was 6, then to divide it up into 3:1, one part would be 9/2 and the other would be 3/2. Since the 9/2 is the hypotenuse of the other triangle, which is 30-60-90, it equals 2x. Meaning x is 9/4. And the 60 side is 9square root 3/4. And 3 times that is 27 square root 3/4! Which wasn't there! <em>dies</em></p>
<p>@annie..im pretty sure there were different copies of the test...I didn't have anything like a chair/phone call question either...</p>
<p>was there an experimental math section</p>
<p>I thought math was incredibly hard too.
The chair problem, and the last gridin. ARHHHHGHGHHG</p>
<p>@oneday: Oh, I concur! That grid in was not fun at all!</p>
<p>barberconcerto: I had the chair question as well - once you place the first person in a chair, there are 6 chairs where the 2nd person can be. However, if you were to do it backwards (as you suggested with 2 people), the fact that the positions of X and Y are switched does not double the number of combinations, as this has already been accounted for in another "series". So I got half of your answer. Thoughts?</p>
<p>Up to this point I was pretty darn sure I had an 800 on the math. Hmm.</p>
<p>my essay was like a page and a half long but i wrote small..do they take off pointsfor length</p>
<p>I wasn't prepare for this at all, during one of the CR section, probably section 3 or 4 or something like that, I was only on number 16 when the teacher call time, so I skipped 6 questions. I hope it doesn't hurt my score. And that was on something interesting too. It was about Asian American.</p>
<p>oh yeah i said the list of words made her parents analysis sound comprehensive and systematic was that right?</p>
<p>Sweetdreams, missing 6 questions, saying that you got the rest right, will probably move you down to a 720ish. However, if you got more incorrect, say like 12, you'd be looking at a 590-540</p>
<p>for the phone call question the answer if 5.85 if the call was made at 6pm. You figure it out by setting up the ratio (my #'s might not be accurate) but after 6 PM the call cost 3.15 after a 65% discount so the ratio is</p>
<p>35 3.15
---- = ------
100 x</p>
<p>35x=315
x=9</p>
<p>then you want to find how much that call would cost if there was 35% discount instead of 65% and since since 35% off means you're paying 65% of the actual price you just do .65*9= 5.85. You can do this because the prob stipulates that the call after 6AM was in one rate zone so since that rate zone (65% off) ends at 8AM the call could have been 2 hours at most and a call from 6-8 (the most it could possibly be) falls entirely within the 35% off zone.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the problem that had choices
I a>0
II b>0
III a>b
(the signs might be switched)</p>
<p>I think i might have put all three but does anyone think they got the right answer/why?</p>
<p>@BIGKID .. this phonecall question, did the question even mention a 65% discount, cause in my question about the phonecall, there was NO MENTION OF ANY 65% DISCOUNT OR ANYTHING, literally, all it said was: at 6am the call costs $3.96, what will it cost at 6pm? no mention of any discount rates or anything ..... </p>
<p>hahahaha, but hey, i guessed ur answer of $5.85 .. so maybe i got it correct</p>
