ACT April 4 ---- main discussion

<p>good because i had 50 as the base angle of the isoseles triangles</p>

<p>So could I still score a 31 or 32 with -1 or -2 in English, -5 or -6 in Math, -2 or -3 in Reading, and -8 or -9 in Science?</p>

<p>wow david your annoying....anywyas yeah its 130....and i thought it was 2:1 too...</p>

<p>This was my first ACT, so I technically have nothing to compare it to - however, I would say that it was considerably easier than the Pi day SAT. I had heard that the ACT would probably leave me scrambling to fill in answers from lack of time, but I actually had between 5 and 15 minutes extra for every section. Not to mention that the essay (if you took it) was CAKE. </p>

<p>There were only a few problems I wasn't sure about, but it seems I was right on most of them (like the triangle ratio 1:1, etc) - the only problem I know I got wrong was the cube-sphere one, which I missed because I didn't think about it much. </p>

<p>Oh - what was the answer to the 144-triangle one? I got -7/25, I think.</p>

<p>yeah i got -7/25 too. :D</p>

<p>I think Reading and Science are the only time crunches on the ACT. For Math, I finished it, checked through all answers, and then stared at the person in front of me for about 10 minutes.</p>

<p>I thought it was 7/25 cause it said Quad II</p>

<p>And the triangle one was a positive value, not negative. =/ Sine is positive in the 2nd quadrant.</p>

<p>7/25 sin is positive in quad II</p>

<p>there wasnt a positive anser choice for that answer....i only saw -7/25</p>

<p>no 7/25 was defiantly an answer choice</p>

<p>Meh. :( Oh well, that's still only -2 so far. I can deal.</p>

<p>EDIT: just realized that the 144-triangle problem and the tan=-7/24 one are two different problems. lol. for the 144-triangle, I think I got 144 sin (72).</p>

<p>At least we no longer have to worry about paying for college. TOPS here we come. To the lowest tier state school.</p>

<p>Son didn't bring his watch. Didn't finish math. Math is his worst subject. Will be lucky if he gets in the 20s on it.</p>

<p>At least it's his first take, but not many more chances, since he's a junior.</p>

<p>Wish they'd give it during the summer. Well, there's June, but he'll be in his brain dead mode by then.</p>

<p>That top ten school, whose name I won't mention, is going to get a good laugh when they get his scores. Yes, he wanted me to send them there. </p>

<p>Guess I won't have to worry about being able to afford it now.</p>

<p>lol you sent scores to top colleges even after hes struggling to get 20s in math?</p>

<p>Montegut, if I was your son and saw your post I'd be heartbroken (no offense)..
Have some confidence in the kid..if you don't, who will?
test scores aren't everything...</p>

<p>Was L4 the control?</p>

<p>@RonPaul, yep</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Darn. I had like, two more minutes so I put L1.</p>

<p>On the science part...was h2 56? And was the one about comet size 10-20?</p>
