2012 April ACT General Discussion

<p>Ok, me as well.
Thanks @simplybtw</p>

<p>For the passage about the creek walking. I believe it was the second question where it included the end of a sentence, a period, and “the water”. So it looked like “something. The water” and went off to say it ran clear. I choose to keep it as is, with the period, because I thought supplanting “.The water” with “,which water” would require the second portion “runs clear” to be “runs clearly”. Or was I overanalyzing? What’d you guys get?</p>

<p>I kept the period as well! Then next was like “the water ran clear…” anybody else?</p>

<p>in regards to the earlier discussion, Hank the tank was definitely his father. I quote “…Hank the Tank’s son”</p>

<p>oh. and the control group was 2 because the first chart had nothing added to it</p>

<p>@actstudent and Pattyrick You guys are right. They should be two separate sentences.</p>

<p>@act and @bmw Thanks, I feel a lot better now. It had been bugging me after the test.</p>

<p>And for the science question about dependent vs independent variable was it a dependent variable?</p>

<p>English average
Math hard (a few extra tricky questions)
Reading below average
Science above average</p>

<p>FFor the colon question I believe I only had to use it twice. There was one question about jewels in the reading passage and you could either use a semicolon or colon but I used the colon because it went into a detailed description of the jewels.</p>

<p>Did anyone find the math section to be insanely difficult? I got a 32 on math last time I took it and found it to be a breeze (December). However, this time despite how much I paced myself I couldn’t finish. I had to bubble in like 6 or 7 questions in the last minute because I didn’t have enough time to think them through. Do you think that curve for this math section will be lenient? I’m hoping I can pull at least a 30 with 7 or 8 wrong because it was so difficult.</p>

<p>what did you guys get for the blue plate question (the one in the parentheses). ALso, what were the answer choices for “the narrator refuses to comment on…” for the 1st reding passage?</p>

<p>for the blue plate question i put it was comparing the old restaurants to the new one or something</p>

<p>the blue plate question was to clarify the name used previously in the sentence
and idk all the choices but he refused to comment on who would do the worst in the family business</p>

<p>Needed blue plate to clarify something said earlier in sentence. And for not clarifying it was about who had toughest job.
For the spiked head thing, if the author took out… “so nails fly around it” or something what would it lose?
"Reason why there in whateve city mythology?</p>

<p>For the blue plate I said that it was providing a description to a previous claim. <- something to that extent. It was basically explaining where the meaning of “blue plate” came from.</p>

<p>yeah, it would have lost the mythology explanation</p>

<p>was the answer to the last science question yes or no?</p>

<p>Was the variable independent va dependent??</p>

<p>also, did u guys put no change to the farmed salmon question</p>

<p>It was dependent.</p>
