I don't really understand the geometry of the problem. specifically, "rectangular solids of 7x6x3 placing together" could you clarify it for me?

I don't see why using a venn diagram would make this any more convenient. 22 got A's. 78 out of 100 students left. 1/4 of 78 is 19.5. 22+19.5 or maybe 22+20 since you can't have half a student.

I ran out of time on the quants. I tried to give 30 minutes for first 15 questions, but that strategy left me horribly behind. had to randomly guess on the last 6 or 7 i'm gonna retake it. im just really bummed cuz I wanted an 800. What i'm really asking for is suggestions to learn the timing of the test. Take lots of tests?

wtf? I don't see a shortcut to the first problem. Any help would be awesome. Alternating Harmonic Series -- from Wolfram MathWorld but the the PP question stops at 10

Here's my attempt: The author begins his argument by stating that five years prior, the residents of Morganton voted to keep Scott Woods in a natural state. When consideration of this issue was brought up again, the author falsely assumes that since the majority vote five years ago supported the author's beliefs, he now speaks for the residents of Morganton as a whole. This sentiment is notably conveyed through the tone of statements like "There would be no better use of land in our community," and "Our thinking was that..." The author provides no evidence that the residents of Morganton voted for the author's specific reasons. The second claim the author makes is that the vote five years prior was based off the idea that a lack of shopping centers or houses, and a natural parkland would be of benefit to the community. The author uses the term "benefit" in a subjective sense, without justifying why the lack of houses or a natural parkland would in any way benefit a community. The third claim is a correlation with causation confusion. The idea that if the land was a school site, no shopping centers or houses could be built there is unjustified. There is no description to the size of the Scott Woods parkland, meaning both schools as well as shopping centers and houses could be built on that site. There is no mention of the city planners exact plans. The author states that the planning committee would like to build a school, but based on a committee wanting to construct a school, it cannot be deduced that that same committee, as a result, does not want to build other things as well. The fourth assumption that substantial acreage would be devoted to athletic fields is not buttressed by any evidence. Perhaps there are already sufficient athletic fields in the community? The author mentions no restriction on the city planners to build an athletic field, or for that matter, not build shopping centers and houses. In sum, it is clear that the author provides no evidence that the community agrees with the authors reconsideration of the vote passed five years prior even though he speaks with that assumption. In his argument, he makes several assumptions about the intentions of the city planners beyond what is specifically stated. These issues such as not building shopping centers and houses and building athletic fields is a subject to be debated and voted on, and not assumed.

Haha, I was just about to post a topic asking someone to comment on my Scott Woods argument analysis. Instead, I'll give my attempt at a critique of yours (realize I've only written one argument analysis so far and am inexperienced), and then maybe you can critique mine. Or other people can critique both of ours? I wasn't sure if I should post a new topic. "First of all" Paragraph: I don't understand how the author providing evidence about the number of schools in the area would affect the argument? The planning committee's proposal is to build a school nevertheless. "Secondly," paragraph: are you saying that building a school would harm the community instead of benefit it? I think this is a counterargument to the author's argument. And, if I understand correctly, we are supposed to analyze how well the argument is made or the fallacies the author commits? "Finally," paragraph: I think this is a great point (I'm biased cuz I wrote about this :)) But its the mistake that the author assumes he knows what Morganton's residents think. I think you should elaborate more on this.

This is my first attempt so, please DO be harsh :D. Any suggestions are deeply appreciated. I realize I need to work on how to write an introduction, transitions, and cogency. I hope no one is offended by my naive first paragraph =/ ISSUE:"The media (books, film, music, television, for example) tend to create rather than reflect the values of a society." The comparison of different societies, and an analysis of television and music lead to the conclusion that the media tends to more often reflect than create social values. Social values stem from historical origins at the macroscopic scale, and parental methods at the microscopic scale. It is clear when contrasting social values of Western European societies, including the United States, and Eastern societies, notably including the Middle Eastern societies, that you often come upon disparate social values. For example, when examining social standing differences between men and women, there are stark differences. Statistics show Middle Eastern women occupy far less jobs than men, fomented by the social idea that women should adhere to specific gender roles. In contrast, women in Western European societies continually fight and have progressed significantly towards equality among men and women. These differences stem from historical movements, and it has been argued historically that the lack of an analogous Industrial Revolution and Enlightenment in the 17th and 18th centuries has left Middle Eastern societies with starkly different gender roles. At the microscopic level, it has been claimed by many that parental participation and influence in a child's social values produces the highest degree of molding of social values. For example, in the realm of economic success, economists and sociologists have shown that parental interest in educational success is the primary component to economic success in the future. Television shows in particular, although their influence on society is non-trivial, is rather less significant in the creation of social values. The economic model of television lends itself to ultimately producing shows that its viewers demand. These are measured by ratings. In this regard, it can be argued that TV shows are only a reflection of already established social values. PBS, and other viewer-funded networks, whose aim is to provide objective, erudite debates that have the ability to challenge current assumptions about social values, are direly unsuccessful compared to major television networks. Music, as well as literature, in several respects reflect social values of its time. During the era of Langston Hughes and the Harlem literary revolution, these books reflected the passionate struggle of the black community fighting towards equality, as did the Hip Hop revolution of the 1960s. This musical era provided an outlet for the social values of the time. The question of whether media molds or reflects social values is ultimately deeply nuanced. It can be conceded that, based off the argument that parents influence the values of the next generation most significantly, television shows can provide a contradiction to the parental values taught and alter the values of certain individuals, however, the author's argument that television is the main proponent of social values is not applicable here [unfinished]

Hi all, What is the policy on scratch paper? Get unlimited amounts before hand? Are the new question types on the november GRE? If someone could direct me to an official ETS statement, that would be much appreciated. What happens if you run out of time on the last question and you've selected an answer but didn't press confirm? Or if you pressed next but not confirm? Similarly, on the analytic portion, if you don't finish the essay before time runs out and push finished, will it take whatever you have written? How much are you deducted for not answering a question? I've heard its more penalizing than getting an answer wrong. Correct? thanks!

take sqrt(x^2) = x if you let x = +3, you get 3 = 3 if you let x = -3, you get 3 = -3 which is impossible sqrt's output positive numbers

Robin and Terry want to invite five of their friends to their wedding. Robin has seven friends and Terry has six, and Robin and Terry have no friends in common. If at least one of Robin’s friends and at least one of Terry’s friends must be invited, how many different groups of friends could Robin and Terry invite to their wedding? 462 924 1260 2520 151,200 answer choices may be incorrect. This is from Princeton Review CAT tests, and I already found one error in their answer explanations

You can find N in two ways, 1) using the formula for remainders a=qd+r or 2) just plugging in the first two cases a=qd+r (q is quotient, r is remainder, a and d are numbers) given d=7, and r=4. q=0 => a = 4, and q=1 => a=11 for a = 4, 16+5 = 21/7 = 3 r 0 for a = 11 121+5 = 126/7 = 18 r 0 r = 0 edit: guess someone answered before i finished posting. But anyway, you can choose 4/7 = 0 remainder 4. Makes calculations much easier

3. 40 is correct. C. order doesn't matter when you have 3 students. 4. C. If you take some arbitrary number ax ax*ax = cx^2 where c is some number cx^2 * ax = dx^3 Units digit of N^3 will be x^3 7. At first I thought it was D, because the units digit will always be an even number. But then if you divide by 6, the only time you would have remainder 4 is if you get a 0 in the units digit, and by inspection of the first few, I get 2, 6, 2, 6 in the units digit. So the remainder wil always be less than 4. so B. Verify this someone? I'll try to verify it.

yea, but I don't understand the bridge

I'm not sure if i should make a new thread for each question. Could you guys help me with another one: VOLATILE : TEMPER :: (b) ready : wit © catastrophic : disaster
