“It was though new zealand had fostered music for decades,”
i think.</p>

<p>also, 36 is correcet</p>

<p>No the new zealand one was like “when” b/c it should have been “that”</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer to the writing question ‘Each of the architects(?) had finished to present/ had finished presenting~’?</p>

<p>@tmfdk6146 You are right. It was E. It was something like: After the architects had finished presenting, the counsel had decided…</p>

<p>If anyone wants to feel better about their essays. Read this example I found of a “1” essay for a good laugh and self appreciation :slight_smile: Really though, I feel for this person.</p>

<p>In this essay I am writing about that school should have grading system. I think that school should be doing grading because it will help you how you when you do exam. The school with grade will help you get away pressure. The school with grade would be helpful in students. I think that if you go to school with grades you learn how to relax and enjoy school and have time. School could help you out of most anything that you want to do in this world. School could teach you how to be relaxed and enjoy. By going to school with grades is a good thing because you do not have to study as much and work on exams or have to work hard too much. To have grades means that you get marks easier and you do that thing you do best and how well you do at it. </p>

<p>I think that grades in school could teach you how to have experience in everything you are doing. I know that to go to school you have to choice to go to school because nobody can make you go to school. I know that school are not for everyone but I think that every children should go to school because with grades you are easier in studying and can relax. I know that when you have an education it is a good thing. School is a place where you could learn a lot of different that you don’t know. I know that I learn a lot of thing I didn’t know but I know them. By going to school you make new friends, and you see a lot of different people like people that is not from the your country. At school you do class work and do all type of assignment your teacher told you to do but grades are easier. I believe that every students should want to be in graded school because you need to educate but not so much work and pressure. I think that every students should like going to school.</p>

<p>tmfdk6 - it was ‘each of the architects had finished presenting’</p>

<p>@classof2012 ^^ Haha</p>

<p>@Nurture
Thanks!! I got it right :)</p>

<p>Anyone want to share what you chose as examples for essay?</p>

<p>I used Henry David Thoreau (He literally fits every SAT prompt out there, all practice tests, PR course essays, real SAT’s) and examples of anti-church renaissance and reformation humanism</p>

<p>I chose enlightenment scientists and Thomas Alva Edison.</p>

<p>Anyone remember this question in the writing section : Neither this nor that (was) or (were)?</p>

<p>Does anyone know how to do the math problem where its ab > 10^5</p>

<p>What does [a + (1/b)]/5 equal?</p>

<p>the choices were .1 .2 .3 .4 .5
I have 0 idea how you do this!</p>

<p>I’m sure it was B .2</p>

<p>@shootyoup just take a huge number like 200000 and divide it by two and plug it into a and b</p>

<p>any number >10^5 works</p>

<p>@shootyoup</p>

<p>if you know calculus limits the concept is very easy, but in general basically you assume that a and b are both really big numbers. </p>

<p>[big number] + [1/big number] / 5 [big number] is about the same as 1/5 because the 1/big number is close to 0.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for #18 on the grid in Math section; something like n is a multiple of 24 and 10 and it is also k^2 (if k is a integer), and what is the smallest possible integer value for n.</p>

<p>if you algebrically simplify it, you get ab/5ab which is 1/5 or .2</p>

<p>smallest value for n= 3600</p>

<p>3600… 10char</p>

<p>@nurture answer was 3600.</p>
