I took the MC relatively serious.. during writing task 2 I had really bad heart pains and had to leave for 10 minutes with the superviser and that stuffed me up for a bit, so I stayed till 1.15 and went all over my answers (however, I still made quite a few errors lol).

And for the ocean's mine was DCACC
Yeah made a mistake on that last paint question
For ocean Qs: DCACB
Post by: Mao on June 13, 2008, 05:45:37 pm
the answer should be B, a decrease in density.
temperature and salinity arent really related [they are two variables independant of each other]
however, density is a relationship between these two variables [shown by the contours]. as you go up the temperature axis, the values the contours represent becomes less and less => decrease in density.

For question 51 everyone seems to be getting C? I'm sure its B but I stand to be corrected. :)
35.0 cuts through all oceans, 35.7 seemed the best answer since it only goes through Indian and Atlantic

yeah sorry, still learning how to use this thing
when you press "quote", press "ENTER" straight afterwards and it'll take you to the bottom.
sometimes when the previous post is too long, it does not all fit in the "Quick Reply" box, and if you click the "bottom" of the box, you end up typing into the quote [very often seen :P ]

Draw a vertical line upwards, you'll see where you went wrong.

wrote about two pages for each writing task, so bad, i'll probably get like 12 for them
Post by: JL_91 on June 13, 2008, 10:21:13 pm
that one with the circles and the arrows looked too hard to i just guessed without reading the questions
wrote about two pages for each writing task, so bad, i'll probably get like 12 for them
Yeah I was talking about that question in an earlier post...it was the most annoying thing ever! I gave up on the last 2 questions about that information and guessed them, but I happened to guess one of them right lol. I wrote about 2.5 pages for each writing task. Don't worry, it's about quality more than quantity :) Last year I wrote about the same amount, and ended up with a score of 45 for written communication, so it's nothing major if you don't write that much!

That series of questions about the electronic game with the 'paint' and everything annoyed the HELL out of me. I ended up guessing two of them because I gave up. Otherwise, it wasn't that bad...I was very happy with both my written pieces. But that paint question really made me want to tear up the booklet right there and then :P
That and the postcode questions were actually quite fun to do :D

Then for the heroes piece, I said something really crazy about the fact that heroes are only human, and can't always achieve the expectations placed on them. I said something along the lines of 'lets pretend your mother is your hero. Now, hypothetically picture this situation. She must drive, no, to be more adventurous, fly, to a burning building, located 200 miles from your nearest shopping complex, in 3 minutes, all whilst trying to miraculously obtain a hose to put out the fire, and on top of that, rescue 20 different accountants from their cubicles... It is just not possible'.
Lol, I miss the GAT already!

Yeah, those types of problems can be pretty challenging, but it's actually quite easy if you take it step by step. For that question, if you consider each of the four false statements one at a time and arranging the names in some sort of ladder as you go, the problem solves itself :)

I approached it like this:
Read first false information and wrote what I could about the 2 people (ther possible positions)
Read 2nd false info... if any of this could narrow down the position of 1-4 for the first 2 people i wood cross out the non-possibilities etc
