<p>zana86: what was the measurement of angle x on that figure that looked like b 2 bomber</p>

<p>70 degrees. You had to connect the “wings” of the plane to make two triangles and solve from there.</p>

<p>Wow, I was an idiot on the sentence completion section. Im pretty confident I got almost all critical reading right and everything except one on math, but I don’t know what I was thinking with sentence completion:</p>

<p>put “cajole” instead of bully</p>

<p>didn’t put cosmopolitan (when I think of that word a magazine comes into my head, so I was like no this isnt right)</p>

<p>put usurped instead of indulged, why do i assume meanings which I dont know</p>

<p>so that puts me automatically 50 points down in CR, im still hoping for around 760 math and hopefully 700+ verbal. Anyone else make the same mistakes?</p>

<p>How could you possibly have done worse on the SCs than on the passage?</p>

<p>on SC, the teacher tried to “engage” her students to participate in class right?</p>

<p>Wasn’t the degrees one 60 and not 70?</p>

<p>lmao reading all these answers i got the sc wrong too exact same mistakes as u mentioned except the bully</p>

<p>what was the measurement of angle x on that figure that looked like a b2 bomber</p>

<p>I <em>think</em> I got 60.</p>

<p>

imminent means “in the future”, so should just drop the future</p>

<p>dam lol i didnt catch that haha nice</p>

<p>gawd…i left this place for 5 hours and it grew to 46 pages!</p>

<p>which b2 bomber are u talking about, Zan?</p>

<p>So is “might be imminent…” the answer for the energy crisis in the 10th secton</p>

<p>I definitely just scanned through 43 pages this evening. It’s good to see that I got a lot of questions correct, because it makes me feel better about the ones I got wrong. </p>

<p>I can’t figure out which was my experimental section though… I had been hoping for it to be math (the section 7 in my book), but it must have been CR or writing because there was a TON of it in my book. Any West Coasters know anything about our experimentals?</p>

<p>for the question that is something like, ‘she was temperamentally suited to logic because of a _____ for _____ intricate arguments’… i believe the answer is bent/analyzing, but some would say penchant/evading (or eluding or something about avoiding)…the latter taking “temperamentally” as being unpredictably or moodily. I think the indicator is the Because: a penchant for avoiding intricate arguments wouldn’t result in being unpredictably suited to logic, or being suited to it by mood, unless you said it was because she didn’t have much experience because she always avoided them. It still seems a lot more complex than bent/analyze: looking at the Because: she had a bent for analyzing intricate arguments; as a result, she was temperamentally suited to logic. The ability to analyze the arguments constitutes a facet of the temperament that is suited to logic. I think that makes a lot of sense. Disregarding that cause/effect relationship, both could be correct uses based on the definition of ‘temperamentally,’ but because of that and since only one can be right I think it is bent/analyze. Any thoughts?</p>

<p>B2Bomber : 70.</p>

<p>re: the “B-2 bomber” one, it was an angle opening to the right with a point to the left of the endpoints inside of it, and the ends connected to that point (or at least that is how I can most easily describe it here). The leftmost angle was given as 30 degrees, and the two angles on the right as 20 (or vice versa, I forget). By dividing the area into different triangles and quadrilaterals (whose interior angles will sum to 180 and 360, respectively), you can derive the angle in question as 70 degrees.</p>

<p>i did make a correction on the imminent future one.</p>

<p>i changed it from</p>

<p>“is imminent and will occur in the future”</p>

<p>to</p>

<p>“will occur imminently in the future”</p>

<p>although it still IS redundant.</p>

<p>degrees question was 70</p>

<p>You are overanalyzing the question, luckyducky. The answer is obviouslly bent…analyzing.</p>

<p>any more comments on the imminent one?</p>
