<p>oct 24th is when scores come back online</p>
<p>i dont think it was mendacious.</p>
<p>is there a way to rush the scores back so you find out earlier?</p>
<p>Re: the cylinder question, the fact that it is a 3d shape is irrelevant: the distance from the center of one base to an exterior point on the other is the hypotenuse of a triangle whose base is the radius of a cylinder base (circle) and whose height is that of the cylinder. The distance was sqrt ( r^2 + h^2 ) = sqrt 29.</p>
<p>Who else had the question with a regular hexagon surrounded by six triangles? The triangles had a base the length of one side of the hexagon, and the other sides of the triangles were 2 x that length. It asked for the ratio of the sum of the areas of the triangles to the area of the hexagon. I got 2 as an answer (the solution involves a lot of 30-60-90 triangles; I derived the formula for interior angles in a regular polygon to figure it out).</p>
<p>Another question asked about the relationship between x and y where (xy)^-1 = x^-1 - y^-1. I said that x - y = -1 (for example, say x = 2 and y = 3; 6^-1 = 2^-1 - 3^-1 -> 1/6 = 1/2 - 1/3 -> 1/6 = 3/6 - 2/6 = 1/6.) Is this what everyone else got?</p>
<p>scores are out on 10/24</p>
<p>was there the one that had “inhuman” and “inhumane” in writing sec?
i thought that was a typo and put inhuman…</p>
<p>Did anyone get for one of the last cecil passage questions that “somebody might try to interrupt the marriage” or something along those lines</p>
<p>commodity as well</p>
<p>what about the penchant/bent one? was it penchant… or bent, then analyzed?</p>
<p>HOLY GOOD GOD! 1st of all: LAMEST ESSAY QUESTION EVER TO HAPPEN! I was looking forward to writing a really cool essay and delving into some hard core philosophy, but i couldn’t, because the essay topic was SO LAME. it was seriously the easiest and most obnoxious topic ever. </p>
<p>anyway, that’s not my real issue. I’m not a fan of the reading section, so naturally i put all my faith in math, right? Anyway - I realized that I got 1 SINGLE QUESTION WRONG. This may sound obnoxious on my part, but when I’m taking multi variable calculus at dartmouth in highschool, i shouldn’t be getting them wrong. Ever. What annoys me the most is that i simply misread the question… It was 5n+3<=14 (less than or equal to), and whats the prob. that a posative less that OR EQUAL TO 10 is chosen at random satisfies said equation. Anyway, previously, i got one question wrong too, and it was because I DIDN’T READ THE EQUAL TO PART, JUST LESS THAN. anyway, i knew that i did it right, and so that i’d look out for things like that in the future, which i clearly didn’t. and that makes me very mad.</p>
<p>there’s my sat rant for now… peace</p>
<p>on math grid-ins, did anybody get 3.1 as their answer to the 3rd or 4th last question which was right before the 47*53 one?</p>
<p>For the math question about cups and plates did you guys get 11?</p>
<p>And the one about sqrt 29, wheren’t the dimensions 4 and 5, making it sqrt 41?</p>
<p>Reykjavic, you are one weird person</p>
<p>If i put down 23.3 instead of 70/3 i’m good rite?</p>
<p>What did u guys get for one of the first SC questions. I felt so stupid when I couldn’t get it.
It was like:
The teacher attempted to ____ her students into learning…
indulge was a choice, i don’t remember what i wound up putting.</p>
<p>and for the SC that was between bent/penchant, the answer was bent</p>
<p>yes, 47<em>53 is right. stop asking questions about 47</em>53 and fire truck. it’s 6</p>
<p>Also:</p>
<p>There was a Writing sentence correction question involving large quantities of air pollution “concentrated in” cities being visible as smog. Did anyone say “concentrated in” was an error? To me, this seemed to imply that the pollution was in cities rather than rural and suburban areas, which was irrelevant to the topic and was otherwise somewhat redundant; I marked it as an error, I think. How about you?</p>
<p>what was the word after penchant?</p>
<p>on math experimental. First critcal reading sentence completions had questions i swear i’ve seen before word to word. Does anyone remember doing the same exact problems? I am so sueing ETS. maybe</p>
<p>what’s dummy writing?</p>
