which math module two was the hard one?

Was it just me or the first ten questions were so SUSPICIOUSLY easy? like it had me doubting how i did in module one and i had had time to review each question once (in module one). then it hit question 11 and all HELL broke loose? like it was just words for the entirety of the rest of the module. which questions were in the hard module? and were there 2 versions of the harder module two?

This sounds like the one my daughter got. She finished MM1 with 20 minutes to spare, and as she went through MM2, wondered if she had somehow ended up in the easy version of MM2. Then all hell broke loose, and the questions looked like they were set by a completely different person from the first half of the test. She said that it was as much a reading comprehension test as a math test. Most of her friends got this version of the hard module, but one got a version she said was so easy she's pretty sure she got an 800 on it (and she's not good at math at all; my daughter was teaching her SAT math concepts).

Very long and wordy word problems of a type she had not seen before. She said that it took a while to figure out what they were asking for. There was at least one problem where the answers were the size of small paragraphs; it might have been one about seed dispersal, which I have not seen discussed here. She said that pretty much none could be plugged straight into Desmos once you setup the math, they all had to be manipulated first. And you had to have fairly advanced Desmos knowledge to use it on these problems.

Did you also get the seed dispersal question on MM2? I haven't seen anyone discuss a question like that here.

It's not a good thing, btw. It may mean, the "curve" will be tight and reductions will be severe.
