Just got back from the test, which was a disaster.... verbal was NOT what I thought it would be....

So I'm sitting in the lab, and praying for my next test, which I wanna schedule one month later...

here is what I got....

AWA:

issue: 1.leaders should maintain the highest ethical standards...
         2. only through mistakes could get to new discoveries and progress...

Arguement:

The following appeared in a memo from the vice president of a company that builds shopping malls throughout the country.
"The surface of a section of Route 101, paved two years ago byMcAdam Road Builders, is now badly cracked and marred by dangerouspotholes. In another part of the state, a section of Route 66, paved byAppian Roadways more than four years ago, is still in good condition.Appian Roadways has recently purchased state-of-the-art pavingmachinery, and it has hired a new quality-control manager. Because ofits superior work and commitment to quality, we should contract withAppian Roadways rather than McAdam Road Builders to construct theaccess roads for all our new shopping malls."

Verbal:

Anatomy
Flux: which I am not sure about... since there was "stasis" and "reliability" among the choices...

and I think there is rococo:

really can't remember any of the analogies...

Reading:first one talks about how a female writer argues that her writing was not similar to the other, however, the author considered them "mother & daughter" comparable...

the long one talks about how famine strategy undertaken by the government works...  I guess I wasted too much time on the first several questions, which left me no time to read through the latter two...

Maths:

Go to Indian website, they almost had it all...

There are a lot that are D... relationship can't be determined...

like (-t)r(-s) and t(-r)s, something like this... x-20 and x+100...

100<x<225, find out the relationship between square root x+20 and square root (900+x) ==> can't be determined!

a circle inscribed in a square (circle in the square), given the the diagonal of the square, ask for the area of the circle.

a circle that is divided by two line, which intersects at a point outside the circle, and the angle formed by the two lines was 60 degree, given the circle area where the lines define was 27 pi, ask for the circumference of the entire circle. solve: since the angle was 60 degree outside the circle, then the two lines defined within the circle should be 120 degree, which is one third of the total area, then you have it... 27pi*3 = 81pi, which would be the entire area, so radius would be 9, then circumference is 18 pi

find out the best interpretation on a graph that <2x+2<10

one student had to choose 12 books from a collection of 15, no order considered C(12,15) = C(3,15) = 455

graph questions are not so tricky but try to be more careful

for the maths part, treat it careful! other than that, u'll score an 800 in no time!
