<p>i remember putting II and III for the rotating a rectangle. was that even a choice</p>

462

<p>

</p>

<p>it was two out of the three choices. i dont remember exactly which two.</p>

463

<p>I and II. Objective vs trading information? Was that the last choice where he is actually talking to himself? I remebmer the others sounded weird, like him talking to himself vs listening to a professor…</p>

464

<p>only I and II
I remember putting a dot on the corner of my test booklet and rotating it.
It worked well!</p>

465

<p>i completely agree, but was II and III also a choice</p>

466

<p>were there any other I II and III questions?</p>

467

<p>yes…about the midpoints.</p>

<p>like, there was this picture, and the midpoints werent shown. and it asked you which midpoints would be on which side.</p>

468

<p>it was I, II, and III no?</p>

469

<p>yeah, it was all of them.</p>

470

<p>can someone tell me the arc question im freaking out. it was a circle with a center point and it asked what the length of the arc was i dont remeber what i put but i think i put whatever x was (the angle in the middle)</p>

471

<p>oh ok good…cause i def put I, II, And III for that and i was getting it confused with the dots question</p>

472

<p>yeah, i put I, II, and III</p>

473

<p>i think the problem was like
A–X–B-Y–Z----C? XYZ are the mid pt</p>

474

<p>lol, I know I bombed the writing section because I didn’t finish my essay so the score would probably be a 6-8 due to incompletion. The writing questions were also a bit tricky and I ended up omitting about 5 throughout the whole section and I know I probably missed 2-3. For the CR and Math, I think I did pretty well.</p>

475

<p>Sweatpants, I think the answer was 62. The arc was 56, so x + x + 56 = 180, or 2x = 124, x = 62.</p>

476

<p>What were the answers to the Improving Paragraphs questions? There was one about newspaper and another about a desk. Was one with the desk’s answer: “Resting aside the books.”</p>

<p>If you did not have this, please tell me b/c I really want to know which writing was experimental.</p>

477

<p>the newspaper one was real, the desk one was exp.</p>

478

<p>The diagram was not drawn to scale, and there was nothing in the question or given that proved the II MUST be true, like the question asked. The real diagram/angle could have been shifted further to the right. Thus, only I and II MUST be true, like the question asked.</p>

479

<p>What were the other choices with the sardonic one?</p>

<p>Sardonic, condescending, baffled,?,?</p>

480
