<p>John,
I had whimsical and conversational. My reasoning was that though he was personal there was no way he was reflexive. He was definately conversational and whimsical can work because whimsical means capricious, extravagant, making odd or fanciful notions; the whole anology with the highway and detour was a bit whimsical in my opinion , you didnt know what he was gonna say next in the passage or what new anaology he would create</p>
<p>but he was serious, not dismissing the thought of the highway as some lofty idea. he was the one who described it and coined the term, lol. why would he dismiss his own idea?</p>
<p>I was debating between the two, put down conversational and whimsical, not sure if I switched it in the end. I would say whimsical makes sense since he was making fanciful analogies, but I wasn’t too sure about conversational. Personal and reflective seemed right but at the time I thought he just gave his personal anecdote and then never returned to a personal topic.</p>
<p>Meh. I don’t even know which one I put, but right now I’d be more inclined to think it’s reflective since the passage was based on his reflection on his anecdote, although after that he did not specifically return to the personal.</p>
<p>I said “tried but found wanting” because he says something to the effect of, “we have all this green stuff but we still burn 400 million tons of coal every year.” The green alternatives have been tried but are not enough to curb coal consumption. While he does mention finances, I don’t think there is any indication that they were “underestimated.”</p>
<p>I did terrible on CR. And no, not typical CC terrible. I probably got a 500. I got the math experimental section, which was pretty hard.</p>
<p>what would a -4 three skipped be on the math? Will there be a generous curve? any chance for a 700?</p>
<p>i did! i think is wrong though everyone is saying 3600</p>
<p>Has anyone come up with a good method to solve the “3600 question”. All I did was square every multiple of 10 until I found a number…</p>
<p>LoseYourself/ I posted up the easier method in my thread “just curious…”</p>
<p>^ the roots of 24 are 2,2,2,3.
the roots of 10 are 2,5. </p>
<p>Thus you have to multiply 24<em>10 by 3</em>5 because there will be exactly even numbers of each root. (2<em>2</em>2<em>3</em>2<em>5</em>3<em>5=3600, there are four 2’s, two 3’s, and two 5’s.) When you take the square root of that number, the answer would be 2</em>2<em>3</em>5, an integer k.</p>
<p>Oh rational reasoning! Where were you during the SAT?</p>
<p>I put ‘tried and wanting’.</p>
<p>@alkab94:
Yes! Will you give me an explanation for the 96 pi+64?
I put 96 pi.</p>
<p>I took the SAT for the first time yesterday. I think I got a 12 on the essay, but just for worst case scenario, I’ll say I got a 10. For the writing, I’m pretty sure I got between 1-2 wrong, but I’ll say 3-4 WCS. Math I omitted 9-11, and got 3-5 wrong. Critical reading I think I got 3-4 wrong, but I’ll say 7-10 WCS. What would my scores be most likely be?</p>
<p>For the Thoreau short passage, could someone explain what it was talking about? (In a sentence or two.) I got completely different answers. I’m wondering whether I misunderstood the entire passage or not. </p>
<p>And I put down the detour representing as “guide for life” because it asked what the author was trying to represent detour within that LINE. (line 51, I still remember.) and there was not a single word about its difference from everyday life, but rather, the line read “it is a detour that leads us to return back to our journey, which may be altered because of the detour’s effects.” or something similar like that. Please explain why it can’t be a guide. It specifically said it will “lead” or “bring” us back to our journey.</p>
<p>What was the answer to the second question on the art is a detour passage? Something about what it means.</p>
<p>@drummer
There was a rectangle with side length 6 and 12 (it specified double the length of the 6 side) and a semi-circle on the end of the rectangle with radius 3. There was a semicircle shaped white area inside the rectangle and it asked to find the area of the rest of the rectangle and the semicircle outside the rectangle. Since you know the semicircles have the same area, you can technically move the semicircle on the outside to cover the missing area inside the rectangle, making a full 12x6 rectangle. Thus, the answer is 72</p>

<p>was the mondays question(9) or the sweater and hat pair (4/5) on the math experimental??</p>
<p>UGHH this one was terrible… anyone wanna predict my score? 3 wrong in math, 3 wrong in reading, and 1 wrong in writing/predicted 10-12 essay.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question with the circle and two pieces were shaded and two were not? And it asked for x degrees?</p>
