The answer is definitely 6root3</p>

a=3 and b=11 but I forgot what it was asking for. a/b? that would be 3/11</p>

That’s probably ~700, but it depends on your essays</p>
<p>Yep, number 20. Stuff like that always happens to me too, don’t feel bad.</p>
<p>I’m going to cryyy how could I make two mistakes on math and have to guess on one?? all this work for nothing…retake in May. sigh</p>
<p>@SAT128, I think it did ask for a/b, but I wasn’t sure so I just listed the a and b values here. I do remember the answers all being proper fractions, so 3/11.</p>
<p>The essay, the one about firmly held opinions, really threw me off. /;
What did you guys think of the essay?</p>
<p>And anyone know how much legibility determines your essay score?
I had 3 examples, and my writing got messy towards the end because I started rushing. As a result of that, my 3rd example was pretty weak as well. I ended up writing past the boundaries too… Don’t know if that’s okay, but I felt like I really needed to make my conclusion strong. </p>
<p>Anyone know, just off what I described of my essay, what score it will most likely receive?</p>
<p>@zfrosting
Honestly, as long as it’s competent with examples, a compelling argument, and good grammar/language you’ll probably end up with a 10. I got a 10 my first time, and a 12 second time. This third time my essay was kinda lame (talked about Caesar, Hitler, and Stalin lol with barely any detail), so I expect no more than a 10 for myself tbh. But I just plan to superscore with my 770 W from second time. You shouldn’t worry too much though, they aren’t that picky</p>
<p>oh was it the a+1/b+1 = 1/12 and something else question?</p>
<p>@megan
Yeah it was a+1/b+1 = 1/3 and a/b+1 = 1/4. What is a/b? And it’s 3/11</p>
<p>oh thank god still 3 wrong on math!! one on experimental though…</p>
<p>@megan
Well you’ll probably end up retaking this thing 3 or 4 times and realizing that random/dumb math mistakes will happen every single time. You’re talking to a professional here</p>
<p>The essay just kinda depends. On both of my earlier two, I wrote at least 1-3/4 pages with good diction and grammar. Three examples, the third typically slightly weaker. 8 and 9 respectively. Depending on what you mean by “outside the boundaries”, they likely won’t see that part. If it’s outside of the margins, it won’t be read. I’d speculate at least an 8, 10/11 at best with good diction and grammar.</p>
<p>Also @megan702, I definitely agree with SAT128. Unless you’re super observant and always have at least 7-10 minutes left in math, chances are you will make a mistake. Even with enough time to check, it’s possible. Just pray that the curve is kind to you.</p>
<p>Anyone else also miss the factors question due to misreading? Just curious >_></p>
<p>I think it was place before sentence 12, not @ the end of the paragraph, but afterwards when the idea of the time zones being rejected was introduced i think</p>
<p>On the essay I wrote about Abaraham Lincoln and the civil war, probably had some illogical fallacies in there but threw in fancy conjuctions and creative grammar to sound as credible as possible while I had no idea what the __ i was talking about</p>
<p>@Neverend, it wouldn’t have been at the end of the paragraph. It would have been at the beginning of the next one (that is, if we’re thinking of the same question) which was before sentence 14.</p>
<p>The sentence I believe was '??? introduced their own time zone model ____". I think the last two sentences before sentence 14 talked about people being against the new time zones, and why they were (Arrogance or something like that). I think it would have made much more sense to talk about that sentence before the paragraph mentions whom/why people were against the time zones</p>
<p>I think sentence 14 was about something else entirely to conclude that paragraph, or the beginning of the new paragraph. </p>
<p>but its all speculation though on my part tho. But if that sentence was placed at the beginning of the last paragraph I think that would also be strange because whom they described (i think it was a train company?) making their own time zone model was completely different from who was mentioned consistently, which I think was the president.</p>
<p>Perhaps I’m just thinking of a different question, or maybe the practice test I took last night. Sorry for the confusion, because now that you mention that it does seem right.</p>
<p>Yeah, the memory is beginning to come back to me. Although still not sure it it was the president but it was some major figure of the 1800s (winston churchill? hell if i know)</p>
<p>(11)(Leader) brought forth the idea of reform of time zones. (12) People were against these ideas (13) Some thought it would be arrogant </p>
<p>(14) new paragraph…</p>
<p>I think the described ‘train company proposed a time zone system of ?’ would fit before 12 and 13. Its a pretty irrelevant fact (other than furthering the growing idea of reform) so im not sure if it belongs in the same class of the conclusion</p>
<p>Hopefully someone with a better memory than me can seal this. Im not even sure if sentence 14 ended the last pagraph or started a new one honestly</p>
<p>I’m best at math, but it’s always the worst to take… I’m so scared of misreads and dumb mistakes. I forgot to underline what the question was asking for… whoops.</p>
