so what'd everyone think? the general consensus around here is that the math part was ridiculously easy and the verbal part was ridiculously hard.
which section was experimental? i had 4 verbal - short passages about the word 'cool' and this author guy (which i'm hoping was experimental), something about women in antarctica, another about some william guy who was bad but had a fun childhood, and a weird thing about fruit ripening

a,b, and c are different prime numbers... how many intergers < n go into n

315 is divisble by 10 integers < 315 ... i thought <=

21. which regions represents s(1+s)=s^2+s ANSWER: D?
I thought it was A. S(1+s) was the equivalent of l x w to find the area. S^2 + S was the area of the figure by adding the areas of the two areas inside the rectangle. S^2 was the area of the smaller square, and S (Sx1) was the l x w area of the smaller rectangle.

Anonymous, I agree with all of your answers except: 13) dramatist:play-dancer:troupe ....A dramatist is one who writes plays, while a dancer is a member of a group...I THINK (unless I'm confusing questions), that i put autobiographer: memoir for this one....Otherwise, I agree with all that is said above....Now, for a couple of clarifications:
1. 8 pi or 15 pi for the circles? The wording of this question was terrible. It wasn't clear if the outside largest circle was included or not. So if anyone knows, please clarify.
2. I thought the last passage with Washington was particularly hard....Does anyone remember the questions/answers they put?- I remember there was a difficult question with two faces, and a bunch of other difficult one's as well.

1/m < 1/k < 0 -- in regards to that problem, wouldn't a possible value for k/m = 2
For example if m = -2 and k = -4, then -1/2 < -1/4 < 0, and -4/-2 = 2. Am I correct in my reasoning, or am I doing something wrong? By the way 2 was answer (E) I think in the last 10 question math section.

The Washington section was pretty damn hard. I had to half-guess about half the section because the whole passage had no point.
At first it seemed like he like his grandfather more than Washington, then he seems to glorify Washington by explaining his childhood, and then he ends with a sentence thats pretty ambiguous, imo. Does he prefer's Washingtons rambling (which is the answer i put) or his grandfather's stories, which have a point?

i put 15pi for the circle one
for washington a couple of answers (which are probably wrong) that i put are:
-affection from washington to show disparity between child/adult
-I and II for the first one
-D for the second one - i put personal experiences was only one of the ways to get info about someone
-2 faces because he wanted an insight into society
-a prophet is someone who loudly denounces perceived evil
-image is conception
-he rambled a lot
-for last one, it showed not everything in a person's life is worth talking about
-sociable is talkative

It was 1/k < 1/m < 0: k was first then m. So, since they're both less than zero, k could be -4 and m could be -2 so k/m = 2.
Washington Woodward passage:
Questions I need clarification on please
1. Why did the author write that he loved Woodward?
I put: to put in context later criticisms? I didn't really like this answer but none of the others seemed to fit...
2. What purpose did the description of the two faces serve? or something like that
I put warn of possible disaster because the intro part talked about the sickness and destruction because of a lack of spirituality.

Some of my answers:
I had A for the s(s+1)
I had 2^(2+3x) for 25 at the end of math section one.
I had 75 for lowest possible number (I thought y was median...)
I had 8 for factors, but I guess I messed that up too.
I had 8pi (I'm pretty sure that's it)
I had 4 right triangles. They would be:
3,4,5; 3,3,3sqrt(2); 3,3sqrt(3),6; 3/sqrt(2),3/sqrt(2),3 (45-45-90 with 3 as the hypotenuse)

I still remember a few of the questions about which you guys are asking:
1) The one with with the 4 circles - 16pi,9pi,4pi,n pi, respectively. Since each circle was in another, to get the entire area, which it said would not include the last circle(pi), i did 16pi - 9pi - 4pi, and got 3pi, which was answer A.
Another problem i remember was the 90 90 x x y problem. It told you the average was 83. Thus 83 x 5 = 415, which would be the sum of all numbers. Since we know 90+90 = 180, subtract and get 2x + y= 235
since the median number was 85, both x's had to be 85. Thus 235-85-85 = y = 65, which was the answer.
I also have a question. Does anyone remember the problem with 3 boys and 3 girls? What was the problem and what was the answer?

It said area not including smallest circle but INSIDE the biggest one. So the big circle (16pi) doesnt count. So you take the area of the 2nd largest circle (9pi) and subtract 1pi to get 8pi.

Hey ya'll. How did you do the pizza one???? I blanked out completely! I think the question was something similar to this:

| By Py7133 (Py7133) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 01:13 pm: Edit |
No your 8 pi answers are wrong! Think... they gave you info you didn't need - you only need the outside circle (16 pi) minus the inside circle (1 pi) to get 15 pi. You're only asked to find the area inside the largest circle that's also not inside the smallest circle.
I put 65 for lowest possible number, try it out both ways with x OR y as median = x comes out lower.
I also put tent:shelter
The 2^(2+3x) I skipped... I was so frustrated when I remembered my program on my calculator would have done it when I fumbled all over the problem!
The pizza one took me a while, but D was the answer - 27 people. If you take 18 people (18*3=54) that ate 3 slices, and 9 people (half as many that ate 3 slices, 9*2=18), you'll get 54 and 18, 54+18=72, 72 slices that they bought from 9 pizzas. I guessed in the last few minutes and got it that way. First I thought it was B though.
Also I think I bombed the verbal sections... I wished there were 4 sections instead, whereas I'm better at math anyways. Gahh... I just hope I pass 650 for GA Tech's median on Math and at least 550 for Verbal... I'm Asian and I suck don't I?

"what was the CR passage for plutocracy/wealth?"
It was an analogy, but I don't remember which CR section came after it. My gut says Women in Antarctica, though. Or maybe the Chinese daughter thing.
"1) The one with with the 4 circles - 16pi,9pi,4pi,n pi, respectively. Since each circle was in another, to get the entire area, which it said would not include the last circle(pi), i did 16pi - 9pi - 4pi, and got 3pi, which was answer A."
I read the question as the area of the big circle, including everything inside, minus the area of the smallest circle. A "circle" was defined in my review book as the set of points making up the circle, not the area inside, and so I included the biggest circle's area in my answer. I put 15 pi.
"I had 4 right triangles. They would be:
3,4,5; 3,3,3sqrt(2); 3,3sqrt(3),6; 3/sqrt(2),3/sqrt(2),3 (45-45-90 with 3 as the hypotenuse)"
I didn't think of it in terms of side length. I drew four triangles using AB as a leg of the triangle, and then when I realized it can also be the hypotenuse, I knew it was more than four.

The pizza one I actually found easy -- if x represents the people that had 2 slices each of pizza and 2x represents the people that had 3 slices each of pizza then 2(x) + 3(2x) = 72, since there were a total of 72 slices (9 pizza pies, 8 slices each pie). 2x + 6x = 72, 8x = 72, x = 9. Since 3x (from x + 2x) represents the total amount of people and x = 9, 3(9) = 27. The group contained 27 people.

I'm telling you the area was 8pi. The question explicitly stated that it counted the area INSIDE the big circle. If the question wanted to include the area of the big circle as well, the problem would have stated "what's the area of the big circle minus the smallest circle". But it didn't say that. Its the 2nd biggest circle minus the smallest circle = 8pi.

I know that makes sense, but I'm pretty sure the wording (and diagram of the problem itself) specified that it wanted the area of the circles within the large circle. If not, then that problem could have been #3 or #4 instead of #8 (which are harder problems).

SHAKA - yes the question about the circles was quite confusing,but if you were to do it your way and not count the large circle, you would get 9pi - 4pi and get 5pi. Anyway, i really didnt like that question.

The definition of a circle is the points a given distance from a central point. The area consists of the area inside of it.

I hope so! that's the section I'm pretty sure I got all right on. I thought our time ended 10 min earlier so I ran through all the problems just to find out I had 10 min so I made sure they were right...
I can't believe I got the triangle one wrong. I put more than four and then changed it to three usin' the horrible logic: base AB, side AB, hyp AB.
For the k/m one, logical process would be:
negative/negative = positve
so there goes -2 and -1/2 or w/e it was so we had 0, 1/2 and 2 left.
|k|>|n| so it is possible for it to be a whole number but not a fraction (<1).

Smandel...Actually, you can make 6: Two on each side of the segment with the segement BEING the base (4), and two if you count the segment as the HYPOTENUSE of the triangle for each side.

Does anyone remember what letter was the answer for the last mc math question on the non-quantitative comparison, non-short section? I'm so annoyed...i destroyed the test. Then glanced back at the 1st section and noticed i'd filled in 26 ovals...but somehow i didn't skip any...so i'm wondering if there's any chance i randomly filled in an oval for which their was no question...if not, i could potentially get as low as 650 or so on math instead of the 760+ i was sure i had.

Crypto, I had the same line of reasoning as you. Also, E (more than 4) seemed to be too obvious.
However, you've only stated 30,60,90s, and 45,45,90's. There can be right angles with other measures. I hope the answer was D, although it seems to point to the contrary.

Compare your test form to mine. If you had the same test as me, then the experimental and regular sections will be as follows:
1. Verbal - 30 minute, 35 questions
2. Math - 30 minute, 25 questions MC
3. Math - 30 minute, 25 questions QC/SPR
4. Verbal - 30 minute, 30 questions
5. Verbal - 30 minute, 35 questions, a mini Passage 1 and 2 comparing viewpoints of stand-up comedians, a mini passage about a person's "eccentric" habits, and a longer passage about agricultural techniques used by the Mayans. It also had an analogy on there IMPECCABLE:IMPROVEMENT -- This one I believe is experimental!!
6. Verbal - 15 minute, 13 questions about Washington Woodward or Woodwork -- who cares about him anyway??
7. Math - 15 minute, 10 questions that were poorly worded

I'm thinking that i accidentally filled it into number 26 in the first math section. I think I may have a 1600.

"For Plutocracy:Wealth, the answer is Monarchy:Ruler. A plutocracy is a form of government ruled by the wealthy, just as a monarchy is a form of government ruled by a single ruler."
I thought meritocracy : talent was a more appropriate answer. A plutocracy gives power/position to those with money. A meritocracy gives power/postition to those with talent.

Could someone please estimate which verbal section was experimental because I remember the secion before the Washington Story (which was extremely hard), which was also very hard. Was that the experimental? Another question, those who are saying that they probably got 1600, 1400, 1500...what do you do to prepare? Kaplan classes, private tutor? Tell me more.

For the last quantitative you'll come up, work with them, and you'll find you're comparing
-xz to -xy - yz, I believe (I put A)
I think section 3 was experimental (math). It had a logic question in it (if Mary promised her mother ...), and I don't recall there being logic questions on the old SAT, but I may be wrong.
Possible 800 if 3 is the experimental. Hopefully it is, seeing as I blew off it off, then thought later it may not be ^^;.
I thought the math wasn't bad, though the circle pi question is bugging me now, but the verbal atroicious.
Also, what was the answer to the last question in section 3 (math)
ABC is a triangle and D lies on AC. BD is perpendicular to AC. AB = 10, BD = 5, measure of angle ABC = 110. What's measure of angle BCA?

Best Wr: That's correct
In Need Of Help:
(I think the problem said X&y+y&z)
A&B means A-B-AB
Z > Y > X >0
[ X&Z ] [ X&Y + Y&Z ]
My Solution:
X&Z: X-Z-XZ
X&Y - Y&Z: X-Y-XY+Y-Z-YZ (the two y's cancel)
X&Y - Y&Z: X-Z-YZ-XY
just from that you should tell A is greater.

There is one question where a triangle is inside the circle. The area of the shade part of the circle is like 7/10. They ask for the degree of X. Whats the answer? I put like 36.

the sixth grid-in had an isoscolese triangle with base 10 and legs 13, and said a segment from the top would connect to a point on the base between the ends, and asked for a possible lenght of that segment. The segment had to less than 13 and greater than or equal to 12, so i put 12, since its the only acceptable integer.

In a plutocracy, people gain power through their wealth. In a meritocracy, people gain power through their talent. I can also see the logic in choosing monarchy ruler, but the reason I didnt put it was this: In a monarchy, the ruler is defined to have power. Being a rule is not a characteristic of a person that would give him power. If it was something like monarchy:birth. I would have picked it, as in a monarchy you get power via birthright.
I put the the contrast was between moral problem and pragmatism -- the first author argued how men shouldnt keep this all to themselves/regressed into neanderthalism etc. the second offered practical reasons why women aren't allowed.

On the shaded circle, 7/10 was shaded so 3/10 wasn't. (3/10) * 360 would give you the angle, so I think it's 108.

The whole 15 pi 8 pi question comes down to wording. Clearly, if the question was asking for the area of the entire circle, minus the smallest one, the answer was 15. But if the question was asking for the area of the outer ring, i guess it was 8 pi. I think the question asked for the area of the entire circle, minus the smallest one, though.

I guessed 40 on that, but I thought that because BD was perpendicular to AC, that BD must be the angle bisector, that'd mean that D is the midpoint of AC and ABC is isosceles. That'd mean that BCA = (180-110)/2 = 35, but 35 wasn't a choice, ugh.
---------------------------
And the last analogy, I knew I should've chosen meritocracy, dang it. I was thinking plutocracy = system of government based on wealth, blah.
---------------------------
Dumbya1206, it couldn't be enumerating, a lot of information doesn't produce more mystery.
---------------------------
The "how many right triangles" had to be infinite, yeah.
---------------------------
Last QC:
"A&B means A-B-AB
Z > Y > X >0
X&Z | | X&Y [+] Y&Z"(it was +, not -)
X&Z = X-Z-XZ
-----
X&Y - Y&Z = X-Y-XY+(Y-Z-YZ)
X-Y-XY+Y-Z-YZ
X-Z-XY-YZ
-----
compare them as "equal"
X-Z-XZ = X-Z-XY-YZ
-XZ = -XY-YZ
Since X, Y, and Z, are positive, I figured that D is the trap, and it obviously wasn't C, so it had to be A.
Now that I think about it, I know why as well :p
-XZ = -XY-YZ
-XZ = -Y(X+Z)
Y is larger than X, so YZ > XZ, let alone Y(X+Z). However, since the opposite is being taken, -XZ is closer to 0 than -Y(X+Z)
Thus, it's A

So I am pretty sure that whole section was experimental.
Also, it is 15 pi, and it wasn't that easy because they purposely told you the area of all those other circles to distract you, and make you think you needed to use them just like half of you have done, and thus got 8pi and thus got it wrong.

Flameball63 "The word 'image' in line# most early means: one of the answer was conception, the other was description. The former is right.
Eecs For the 'ain't' i put it was a side track and shows author's habit of self-mockery, about 80% sure.

"1) Squeak: I put down something along the lines of "the refusal to expand english to include new words? " something like that. ANYONE RECALL? " I think it said something like "frustration or annoyance at the refusal to include new words or something like that and yes , thats what i put..
a couple of other clarifications
-for aint, I put it was a humurous look at something, can we clarify that that's correct?
- I also put "popular usage"

BAS (Antarctica)

The Chinese Girl passage was probably experimental.

Crap - I forget whether or not the plutocracy:wealth problem was in the passage with the chinese lady or not. For some reason I think it was - it was section 5 for me (I had 3 verbals in a row...) and I think section 5 was the experimental.

Okay- so it seems the only passage we havent dealt with a ton was the ripening fruit passage. Does anyone remeber any question from there? Here's the asnwers I remember:
- amiguous- creation and destruction
-something else- creation and destruction

they wouldn't put an analogy in experimental anyway.
They're testing for the new sat.
do you think i could get 1 wrong on math and still get 800?
For the verbal, does anybody think this will be a 78,77,76,75,74,73 to 800 version like some in 10 reals? I think it was harder than usual.

| By Liface (Liface) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 05:50 pm: Edit |
I DIDN'T HAVE THE PASSAGE ABOUT "COOL" IF THAT HELPS ANYONE.
I had a short (6 line) paragraph about someone's aunt sitting in the dark. She liked the evening and pronounced it with 3 syllables. She sat in the dark because she wanted to reflect that it was dark outside.
Did anyone else have this?
| By Misfit6toy (Misfit6toy) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 05:52 pm: Edit |
oh and there was an analogy i wasnt sure about -
sanguine : optimism :: (my guess) tenacious : persistence?
i wasnt really certain because i figured "sanguine - great amount of optimism" and "tenacious - great amount of persistence" but then "obtuse - great amount of complexity" also worked. anybody know?
| By Metra (Metra) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 05:52 pm: Edit |
No, liface, thats an experimental.
| By Crypto86 (Crypto86) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 05:54 pm: Edit |
I had tenacious:persistence
i think obtuse is more a definition of something "slow" or confusing rather than complexity

Did anyone have a SC that went something along the lines of.. "A woman considers her _____ as a strategy because if she doesn't trust people they can't hurt her." I know this was a stupid one, but i was unsure about whether it was insincerity or misanthropity..? Was this by any chance experimental?
Also there was a SC about a senator.. and it was something about him being discerning. It was a double blank SC. I was unsure between two choices.. criticized for judiciousness or noted for discrimination?
| By Crypto86 (Crypto86) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 05:57 pm: Edit |
How about this analogy?
Ambedextrious:Hand
I had bipartisan:politics

EXPERIMENTAL:
English- section 3- something about food and ripening- had entree as one of the answers.
I got a 1210 the first time I took the test because I blacked out during a few sections and didn't cancel it thinking that I would atleast pass the 1300 line. So, now that I was awake, I am hoping that I am between the 1400-1550 line (720V, 780M is the goal).
How is that going to look on a transcript? Excellent for improvement or lazy for not trying harder the first time?

FOR ANTARCTICA
the one question about "ethos"...was the correspoding quote from passage one somethin about "pristine place"? or was it the one about "members of club" or somethin??
| By Athlonmj (Athlonmj) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:17 pm: Edit |
ambiguous means open to more than 1 interpretation so the ripening of the fruit can be viewed as creation when it becomes ripe and nourishing animals and destruction when it is eaten just like how cooks create their food to be eaten

NETMET: Relax because that section was experimental!
| By Desira (Desira) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:18 pm: Edit |

the cooking passage wasn't experimental....
| By Arangatan (Arangatan) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:20 pm: Edit |
Oh yea i wasnt sure about that. I put pristine, because it means pure, so i figured keeping women out meant keeping the place pure? but i could also see why it might be members of club.. because they all shared in the work. i really wasnt sure.
There was also a question about why they work well together.. did you put because they have the same experience?
| By Netmet (Netmet) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:21 pm: Edit |
Yes, members of the club is the answer....And srkkadz: That section is not experimental. You must be confusing sections...My experimental was math.

Give me the lowdown on experimental sections.
1. If you get questions wrong on experimental sections, do they still count against (1/4 off) your score?
2. Are these sections taken out entirely from your score?
3. Is there 1 total, or one of verbal and math?
| By Misfit6toy (Misfit6toy) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:24 pm: Edit |
netmet - i also got creation and destruction (but only once, idk) and insight into ordinary objects
hmm for other ripening questions i think i got they both provide nourishment for the last one and "agents" help reproduction of their kind - i dont remember that much - id say the ones u mentioned were the only ambiguous ones

i had 4 math sections and section 3 (before the qc and fill ins) was the experimental - from what i hear the verbal experimental was the one with short passages and something about "cool"
experimental sections do not count against u in any way, they are not computed in ur score - if u got 4 math sections then math was ur experimental - 4 verbal, then that was ur experimental
| By Misfit6toy (Misfit6toy) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:30 pm: Edit |
i think a lot of people got A for the last QC - check the previous posts
| By Netmet (Netmet) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 06:31 pm: Edit |
thanks misfit: Yeah- I put the propgation of reproduction or whatever that was....I remember there being some question about science being "reductive" that could have been tough, but I don't really remember the question that specifically....And liface: experimental section does not count at all; it's dropped.

4. feminine and masculine qualities assigned to inanimate objects

also, shouldn't the answer be incongruous instead of viruperative since viruperative is censuring someone, like verbal abuse, while incongruous is being inconsistent, thus unfair in judging someone?

topics I remember on CR sections so we can finally figure out which verbal was experimental:
1. BAS- arctic- definitely not experimental
2. food- reductive science
3. grammar
4. feminine and masculine qualities assigned to inanimate objects- loved it, but I think it was experimental
5. woodward- hated it, killed my V score to a great extent

vtran: this was not an analogy, it was a sentence completion- #10
It said that the critic judged her unfairly and harshly and I think they were looking for a synonym for unfairly. So, I put incongruous since it is being inconsistent and not fair to everyone, but most people say it is viruperative, which is censuring someone, as in verbal abuse.

Srkkadz; however, it is vituperative, because within the sentence it used the word "invective" as what the judge was doing. And that word is a synonym of vituperative.

Netmet, for the analogy...
ambidextrous : hand
the answer is... bilingual : language
If you are ambidextruous you can use both hands equally and if you are bilingual you can speak two languages equally. The relationship for bipartisan : politics would be like a "two party government". (We just went over that stuff in AP Gov.)

I thought the answer was vituperative because of the word harsh. nad if you are vituperative oyu tend not to be fair. you cna be incongruous wihtout being harsh
I didn't even know incongruous meant that... I thought of two shapes not congruent. lol

I think I may have skipped the squeak question because I dont remember it, could someone describe it in more detail. I also remember getting surpassed and spawned for the light question
| By Ranibaybee (Ranibaybee) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 07:40 pm: Edit |
as far as i know....it was 8 pi for the circle one, four or more triangles for the line AB one, 1/3 for the 3x=3y+1, 65 for the test scores with 85 as the median, and 1/5 for the bo girl one...that seems to be the only ones ppl re arguing....
about the 8pi....thats definitely right...i guess its how u interpret it...but u have to really look at the question. they said that the area of the LARGEST circle was 16pi...so when it says the area INSIDE the largest circle...that means that u dont include that circle...so u subtract 1pi (the smallest circle) from 9pi..the area inside the largest circle....yea

Did anyone get a math question about three people who were either a doctor, a teacher and a judge? Was that section experimental?
| By Simplyloved (Simplyloved) on Saturday, October 09, 2004 - 08:13 pm: Edit |
so the spanglish one (the one i call grammar) was not experimental? was the BAS the only CR in it's section or were there more? was the fruit ripening the only CR in it's section, or were there more?
I didn't get the math problem with the 3 ppl so that must have been xperimental cuz i had ex. verbal.

What did everyone get for that QC that had x, y, and 5, where x was positive (something like 5 is x more than y) and you had to compare x and y?

Ranibaybee: \In"side`, a. 1. Being within; included or inclosed in anything; contained; interior; internal;
The definition states "included or inclosed IN ANYTHING" ('anything' being the circumference of the largest circle OR the area of the circle, which is - in part - what makes this question controversial). A circle is the locus of all points equidistant from a
central point (essentially, its CIRCUMFERENCE is what constitutes the circle). There are, however, arguments against this regarding SIDES of a circle (or lack thereof) as they/it relate to the "inside" of the circle, which which is why I've come to the conclusion that this question was simply unreasonable. Such is the world of ETS I suppose...
