<p>Lakshya M, that was the experimental section. My version of the test is obviosly the same as yours… and btw I’ve got 70^2 on the computer problem. pfuuu thank god is experimental :)</p>

<p>Yeah, ok so tell me was the question about a line 3x + 4y =5 and…
in that section? I made a mistake in that so I hope its experimental.</p>

<p>yeah…never got that question either</p>

<p>you mean you didnt see a question about a line 3x + 4y = 5 and another line perpendicular to it passing through the origin and also (12,k)…???</p>

<p>Sorry for asking again I just want to make sure coz i only made a mistake in this and another q’ so it would be great if the question is frm an exp section!!</p>

<p>Yea, that section is definitely experimental. I never saw that 12,k or the computer question. You are in luck, Lakshya. </p>

<p>Unfortunately the opposite happened to me for CR…</p>

<p>Lakshya M: I never got that question, nor did I get a computer problem that everyone seems to be discussing</p>

<p>Lakshya M, u r correct the question was exactly in this section… it was pretty easy, though. The answer was 3/5 i think, but i’m having the hardest time to remember</p>

<p>Yayy!!!
Now the only possibility(for that not to be a exp) left is that maybe our papers were different coz im in the UAE!!</p>

<p>I know I am a pessimist!</p>

<p>to martin: The answer was 16 though and i checked -16</p>

<p>dont worry, as I said our papers are obviously the same - the 4th section is exp…
btw what do u think about the other portions of the test ?</p>

<p>to Lakshya M, as I said i can’t remember :)</p>

<p>thx man!
Math was really good for me (since now my tally of mistakes comes down to 1, Yayy!)
CR was INSANE and writing was fine</p>

<p>What was your essay topic??</p>

<p>About the computer problem: The answer was 70^2, because the question asked how many TIMES greater is the number of 6-character strings than the number of 4-character strings…which means you had to divide.</p>

<p>It was how many TIMES…aww crap I was under the impression that it was by HOW MUCH is it greater…
Well, thank god that section is exp
Phew!!</p>

<p>if y is inversely related to x than 1/x^2 is directly related to:</p>

<p>1/y, y, y^2, 1/y^2</p>

<p>AND</p>

<p>what is the sum of the first 50 terms of the sequence 1/(2<em>3), 1/(3</em>4),
1/(4*5), . . .</p>

<p>i remember two choices were 50/51 and one was 49/50, i put 50/51</p>

<p>anyone remember these two questions???/</p>

<p>jpps1 , u r rightthis was the last question right? anyway I’ve got 70^2 too. I also remember some answers for the first section something like
6$/square/</p>

<p>Lakshya M: my topic was: ‘Do u think that people should put more efforts in order to protect their privacy’ - sth like that…btw I’m not quite sure, but isn’t it south Africa on the same degree of latitude as Bulgaria ?! There’s a little probability that we might have taken the test simultaneously</p>

<p>to fattermit: Nope i don’t remember those questions
but the answer to the first question should be y^2.</p>

<p>just to check, martin did u get the questions that fattermit got in his math sections?</p>

<p>alright, one question, im not gonna talk about the writing essay, but I was gonna ask if you get marked down if you don’t use like specific examples and kinda go into generalities, for example (NOT FROM THE ESSAY, THIS IS JUST A GENERAL EXAMPLE), if i talked about rap music in my essay and how it affects people, if i didn’t name any specific time that this happened or didnt’ use any specific names, would that severly bring my score down?</p>

<p>woow, no dont remember them. He must have gotten different version</p>

<p>funkmasta, I really think that if u have written it well, fluently and persuasively you’ll achive high score.</p>

<p>no…you must have examples. period.
i wrote a whole essay w/ generalities and fake scenarios last time and got an 8. my friend, who just used 3 lame historical examples got a 12.</p>
