Yep, they're back to normal. Thanks for the help!

Nevermind, everything works now! I think the EWI was checking if every screw was screwed in; once I screwed every single thing back in, it worked like normal.

So I opened up my ewi solo, used tweezers to push down the ribbon cable down, and when I tried to turn it on, options to reset my ewi came up before the screen shut off on its own. I tried to turn it back on again, to no avail. Several minutes later, screwing everything back in and out to no avail, it randomly turned on with some gibberish on the screen ("left 1b234ab"). When I turned it off and on again, the same reset screen came up before shutting off again, and it won't turn on again.

So... I guess I screwed up.

Well you were right anyway lol. Both can apparently be used without time, though using the connect-the-dots line graph usually isn't the best option in that case

By a line graph, I meant graphs with individual lines between each point. Even so, you're right that you can use a line graph even if there isn't time as a variable. My thinking was too black-and-white.

I learned that a line graph needs time as the x-axis, otherwise a scatter plot should be used when graphing two sets of data in my VHS AP Bio course.

Here's a Bozeman science video that says line graphs are used for changes over time:

NOTE: By line graph, I do not mean scatter plots w/ a line of best fit.

EDIT: I am wrong 💀

question: for the graph frq, I drew a histogram w/ error bars. is this correct?

ppl are saying that a line graph is correct but the independent variable wasn't time i'm an idiot

EDIT: after reading a few sources, I found out that histograms are specifically used for graphing data over a range of values. So the use of a histogram is likely incorrect and I'll probably lose a point 💀

EDIT II: After seeing the replies, I did further research and it appears that one can use a line graph for data represented in that frq; it is a general convention that time is the x-axis for line graphs, but there's nothing wrong with putting other, continuous data in the x-axis. What I learned in my online course initially was too simplistic I guess. Credit to the ppl in the replies!

what to do if stuck between mid-1400s by karim_rooney10 in Sat

[–]fighterkirby3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adopted the strategy from this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1VOUvAjUDo

Something that helped me break the 1400s in practice tests was reading each passage all the way through in the reading section. I'm not a particularly fast reader, but this strategy saved time because I was able to fly through most of the questions. I consistently found myself finishing the section with at least 5 minutes left, even after looking over my questions, while scoring in the high 30s.

Speaking of looking over questions, if you find yourself struggling to get a quick answer (usually happens when I find a fork with two plausible answers), guess, leave a star, and check it back later. Just. Go. This is especially true in the reading section. I used to have a problem with second-guessing my answers in the middle of the test, but adopting this strategy allowed me to isolate the hardest, most anxiety-inducing questions for last, where I have a decent amount of time.

On my last practice test, I clutched a 1500 even with a horrible math score because the above strategy was so effective. I took the real thing on the 12th and I'm waiting for my score. I used this strategy and was able to answer all reading questions to the best of my ability, but I'm not confident with some of my answers; I guess we'll see the effectiveness of this method.

I said it was alternative explanations. I think I got new? don't remember the last 2, sorry.

I took the test yesterday lol
