<p>Did you guys get octane plus something something.</p>
<p>It was the only one that had octane and octane was the only one in that ball park…</p>
<p>again CLARIFICATION</p>
<p>As the y axis went up- the numbers decreased- 1 is fatter, 5 is least. so in essence as you increased you got fatter.</p>
<p>Now the x axis had increasing temp. So for the males as the temp increased, the lion get skinnier.</p>

<p>the question which had the answer “achieve commercial success”
was on the passage about the black actor who starts his own company
the question was regarding his company’s, i think, last film, which did not make much money
the passage said it “did not rake in the dough” or something like that, which obviously does not uphold the tone of the passage</p>
<p>Sam- Dont know which one exactly your talking about. But it was def 12. which narrowed the choices down to 3. I chose the one that was more uneven but had less white space… ifyou know what i mean…?</p>
<p>I put octane plus pentane I think. I remember thinking that it should only be octane and freaking out because thought I did it wrong, so I just picked the answer closest to octane.</p>
<p>i put octane plus some pentane also.</p>
<p>dnlgao, I put the same answer, I think. I don’t think I fully understood what they were talking about but my reasoning was the same as yours.</p>
<p>Sam I Am, not that it matters (because there wasn’t a question about it), but I’m pretty sure that Enrique’s memory was about a trick that was played on some apprentice, not on him.</p>
<p>exactly, because it was EXACTLY octane. So i just looked for octaine and circled it.</p>
<p>The trick was played on Enrique; it specifically said his name.</p>
<p>yeah,on Enrique, it was like flashback for a paragraph.</p>
<p>dnglao- Phew, we got the same one! I couldn’t make up my mind at first though if it was the one with 12 blocks evenly placed or unevenly placed. I mean, technically no matter which way you organize the 2.5x3 photos on an 8.5x11 piece of paper you’re going to get 12 photos with the same amount of space left over. Whether that space is here or there shouldn’t make a difference. But whatever =]</p>
<p>This is so weird; I remember the passage about the mill differently than everyone else. If this were anything else I’d just figure that the majority was right, but I haven’t gotten less than a 36 on a reading section in the past 4 tests (three practice tests, 1 real test). I believe that Enrique was having a memory about witnessing this practical joke. It was his memory, but he wasn’t necessarily the butt of the joke. Specifically, if you recall, I’m pretty sure he remembers “an apprentice” who was told to “add a bucket of air to (something)”.</p>
<p>I believe it said that Enrique was an apprentice at the time of the joke. That might be where you got mixed up.</p>
<p>No, I agree with the rest, it was Enrique’s memory about himself. That’s also why the rest of us put narrator speaking mainly about Enrique’s thoughts. The passage was mainly about Enrique remembering his own experiences as an apprentice and then saying “Well, gee, I sure didn’t like the way I was treated so I am not going to treat Tobias the same way.”</p>
<p>i think the key to the photo one was that the question said the correct answer was the one drawn to scale. technically if you had the blocks scattered randomly to scale as compared to one that uses less extra space would that have less area? (actually i have no idea if that made sense)</p>
<p>@sam i am: yeah i couldn’t decide between b and d which were both about it decreasing but b was no and d was yes. wouldn’t if be no though since the numbers between concentrations were closer so that would give the more accurate value? i’m not really sure i was rushing at that point and the question was way too wordy!</p>
<p>He was an apprentice, but the passage referred to “an apprentice” as the butt of the joke. If Enrique had been remembering something that happened to him, the passage would have referred to “him”, not “an apprentice”.</p>
<p>Anyway, there wasn’t even a question about this, so it doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>RE awkturtle: don’t get me wrong, I am not sure either. I pretty much just guessed too. When I thought it out hurriedly in the test room I had some reasons to back up my choice, but now I can’t remember any of them. =/</p>
<p>So who else besides me thought the prompt today was complete and utter bull$hit?</p>
<p>The only one I had a problem with on the english test was number 12…
it was about the black actor and how he was struggling with his movie company.</p>
<p>It said something along the lines of “he continued to work for major Hollywood movies and sunk his earnings upon his company”</p>
<p>and you were supposed to change “upon”…</p>
<p>what did everyone else put?</p>
<p>I didn’t take the writing test. The way I see it, I don’t have nearly the same level of control over how good a score I get on an essay, so I don’t want to gamble and let a bad score become attached to my overall score.</p>
<p>Sea Legs, the answer to that question was “into”. You sink earnings into a company just like you sink your teeth into a sandwich.</p>
