Anyone remember the specfics of the question?
Something about 20cm? 5000 years?

Air bubbles will form at 50m snow depth with snow falling at 20cm/year. How old is air bubbles when snow is 5000 years?
That's the best i can recall

Edit: I did that only once as an option

For the question about those sleeping problems in the self report of kids and parent report

 

[Crow]

Did you guys get quite a few questions where the answer was "cannot be concluded from the information given" or something along those lines? I think I put that 3 times altogether which seemed a bit too many times so feeling a bit uneasy about that :/

Yeah, there was one about the percentages of certain age groups of people and how long they were expected to live, and I put this for a question in that stem iirc.

 

[Lear]

yea 4750, as snow forms first and must get to sufficient depth for bubble formation. This also meant in the subsequent questions that the air bubbles were always younger than the snow and the last question of the stem, I got the area with heavy snowfall would have bubbles forming first or something, so those airbubbles would be older?

I think i had same answers

I did areas with more snowfall will have air bubbles closer to the age of surrounding snow (since sufficient snow to trap air bubbles would happen quicker than places with low snowfall)

Ooo I think I did too but forgot the question :/

restrained defiance for ‘tyvm’
3% for immunisation
avoiding anxiety for comic question (i think the question was, what was his ‘comfort zone’ or something so i chose avoiding anxiety.. just didnt make sense for him being rejected and lonely to be his ‘comfort zone’)
home and away question was really easy imo - i remember the Q being: the 5th game is 0A and only one game was 2A? my answer is away and away for 2nd and 3rd games. (i can explain if needed)
quadtree questions were also easy but cant remember the questions lol
for mixing question: got 6 for max layers (lol), I only
air bubbles was 4750 years old, def have to be younger than the snow falling age since they form later

did you guys get 3% for the disease immunisation question? The last question of the stem where it asked which option would decrease susceptibility the most, I put D(?) which was something like immunising the already immunised population with a second shot and also immunising the unimmunised population? something like that? sorry guys if this is real fuzzy

3% as 2.5% + 0.5%

I probably messed that one up but pretty sure i picked 99.99 immunised with double dose

also 99.99 as it would equal 9999

there was also snow aging air bubble qs for s1, did u guys get 4750 or 5250?

4750 as it has to be younger than snow

 

[Trinhcent]

I did areas with more snowfall will have air bubbles closer to the age of surrounding snow (since sufficient snow to trap air bubbles would happen quicker than places with low snowfall)

ah yup that was it, the areas with more snowfall would have air bubbles closer to the age

did you guys get section 2 question on pregnant mother in which there was a sentence "believe you me". was that a typo?

 

[keksdee]

That one didn't actually have a cannot be concluded one, didn't it ask how many of the parent-reported kids became healthy in 2008 after 2007? answers were at least x, at least y, 300 something, or something else (apologies - numbers always slip my mind).

Think we got different questions, that was the second question in the stem for me.

 

[Trinhcent]

for the juggling question, did you guys get that the 3rd ball would be thrown to the Right hand on the 11th beat for the (5,3) part of that question?

 

[Crow]

Not a typo, but I thought it was meant to be reassuring.

I put something about her argument being persuasive for this one.

 

[Trinhcent]

Not a typo, but I thought it was meant to be reassuring.

yea that one threw me off a little, I forgot what the options were but I was more uncertain on that one

did you guys get section 2 question on pregnant mother in which there was a sentence "believe you me". was that a typo?

It's real English.

It's based on archaic English grammar, e.g., phrases like "Hear ye me". You can basically ignore the you in the middle of it.

 

[kimjim]

ahdfjlas I was feeling semi-confident coming out of that test despite guessing a few but after reading all these posts, I'm starting to question my answers A LOT
I guess I'll be going back next year

“Believe you me” is an idiosyncratic speech pattern. It can be interpreted many ways, but tends to be quite a ‘strong’ or ‘authoritative’ way of saying something. It’s not a typo.

If anyone can remember more of the question, please let me know!
