<p>What was the math answer for that question with x, m, t and d?</p>

<p>Other threads suggest it might be x=m-t-d but i remember the question saying d subtracted from x. Wouldn’t that mean x= m-t+d ?</p>

<p>I’m horrible at math.</p>

<p>hey does anyone remember if the answers of the first 6 questions were all Bs (or at least 5 out of the 6 questions) for one of the CR sections?</p>

12

<p>yeah, a lot of bs on section 2 or 3 i guess (the first reading section)</p>

<p>thanks guys :slight_smile: i’m from hong kong and i just learned abt this website…i never knew there’re ppl who know the correct answers right after the test and what score to expect…i have a few doubts on my mind and i’m hoping you can clear them for me…

  1. for the flourish…central question, anyone remember the sentence (not necessarily the exact wording) and what is the word paired with peripheral?
  2. for the political passage, there’s one question that asks abt the diff between passage 1 and 2…the answer’s ‘challenges the underlying assumption’…i got that right but is there another question that asks ‘what was supported by BOTH passages?’
  3. is there a sentence completion Q which involves these pairs of choices ‘slovenly + internalize’, ‘emulate + immaculate’? is it on the experimental section? cos i reli don’t recall coming across these words lol
  4. what do you guys expect the CR curve to be like? if i get 4Qs wrong, what score should i be expecting for CR?
    Thanks loads :)</p>
16

<p>Was there a SC with the word ‘tirade’? Was it in the ‘inquisition’ question?</p>

17

<p>I still think for the decomposition passage that the “rocks eat plants” is a shocking conclusion and not a way to introduce a scientific subject. Can anyone explain to me exactly why that should be the answer?</p>
