| So for the germans and italians... i understand you've argued about this but I'm not sure I agree. I totally get your math on each side, what I don't get is how you're interpreting the question. Here's the wording I remember. "There are 30 students in a language program. These students study italian, german, or both. If three more students total study german than italian and the number of students who study any one language is equal to the number who study both, then how many students study only italian?"
OK, so I got 9. I interpreted "any ONE language" as students studying either german OR italian only (one language, not multiple languages, so you can't look at both added together, need to pick ONE). In retrospect, however, I also understand the interpretation "ANY one language" meaning that the students had to study one language, and it could be either, just as long as you don't take two. I'm perfectly clear on the math, for the first interpretation you get 9 and for the second you get 6. What I don't understand is how I was possibly supposed to make that distinction on the test or how we've collectively overcome this semantical issue.
For reference, I got a 2340 in march. I missed two questions on the entire test, both math, one because i misgridded and the other because I messed up punching numbers into the calculator. I'm retaking for the perfect math score and I'll be pretty sad if i don't get it haha |
