<p>I felt the whole thing was alot easier the 2nd time around. Last time I took it was in October '08. Maybe because it was fresh to me. Not sure. Got a 26. My math score brought everything down a bit. This one I feel pretty confident that it'll be alot higher. Here's to hoping for a 30! :) </p>
<p>The reading was really fun. And the science this time. The math....was so much tougher. English was easy too.</p>
<p>I agree with the 'fun' aspect. I was genuinely interested in the passages.</p>
<p><em>snores</em> huh??? what'd you say??? it was fun???</p>
<p>well in all reality, i think the flower one was a good one.... but the rest i was just kinda... eh.</p>
<p>Ugh, I really rushed the sci section, didn't even read the charts for the last section, the proctor said 5 minutes are left and I started guessing because I was still on the second to last. When the 5 minutes were up, she said oh my bad, there's 5 minutes left NOW. So yeah. Everything else was good though.</p>
<p>It said somewhere in the beginning of the passage that it was the final set. 1:1</p>
<p>I enjoyed the flower one.. it actually gave me some confidence, because every question had an obvious answer, so I know that I got every one on that passage right.</p>
<p>I was distracted during the first passage, because 3 people in my test room arrived late from the break, and one of them sat in front of me, so hearing him sit down and going through the test book took all my focus off the test.</p>
<p>Luckily, the flower one brought me back. I didn't have time to read the last passage but I was able to answer a majority of the questions from the text with no problem... I had to bubble in C for the remaining 5 or so that I didn't get to.
Overall, this has been one of my better ACT reading experiences.</p>
<p>I also assumed that there was a 3rd set, since the first sentence in the passage stated that set 2 was done.</p>
<p>is his wife, vera,... correct?</p>
<p>yes.........</p>

<p>SHUT UP. </p>
<p>It's just as easy and less annoying to say bump 10char</p>
<p>wat did everyone say of the ratio of one sector of the triangle to another??</p>
<p>i believe i put 2:1</p>
<p>The answer to that was 1:1.</p>
<p>oh goodness....wasnt the ratio of each side 1:2:3</p>
<p>Hopefully 1:1 is correct</p>
<p>and wat was the answer to the external angle question.....the one where many of the sides were congruent</p>
<p>That was the ratio of the perimeters. The question only asked for ratio of the first triangle side to A FRAGMENT of the second triangle's side. </p>
<p>One side of Tri1:Tri2 is 1:2. Since they took only a FRAGMENT of Tri2's side, then logically, the measure of Tri2's side fragment MUST be less than 2, and Tri1's side is still 1.</p>
<p>1:1 is the only answer that fits this. But I definitely thought that it was a confusing/pointless problem...more of an SAT-style question than an ACT one.</p>
<p>ok and for the external angle question?? answer..</p>
<p>I didn't really think it was confusing. I am not sure if I am right or not (I put 1:1) but I think everyone got wrapped up in the ratios of the triangles given in the problem. The line fragments looked exactly identical. I don't care if ACT claims their diagrams aren't drawn to scale; they pretty much are.</p>
<p>i put 130 degrees for that one... (or whatever was the 2nd greatest angle)</p>
<p>exteral angle question answer??</p>
<p>130 degrees</p>
