<p>About the thing about the guy in reading...
there was something about him being Canaian too, if that helps your memory.</p>
<p>EDIT:necrophiliac, can you explain your edit about my post? it confused me...</p>
<p>TMAC_09, what you wrote is entirely correct.
"All I've done is grown up" works for that. "grown" implies a past progressive tense that is entirely appropriate with "have," which is also past progressive. However, "is grown" was not an option. "is grow" is perfect present. "was grow" is the closest possible choice.</p>
<p>And yeah, I remember something about Canadian but it was a lengthy answer choice so I don't remember it exactly. I remember guessing between the commercial and Canadian answer choices. Can't say for sure, but I think I went with the commercial because those two words (commercial and the scientist's name) are the furthest apart xD</p>
<p>About the reaing question with the scientist....
Wasn't the guy a scientist named Wood? And the question asked which the passage did not mention. I think one was about him being one of few (i think 14) of some fly guy (insect guy) in Canada. one about him volunteering there. One about him recently starting to work there at the special park in thew Smokey Mountains, and there was another.....</p>
<p>NICE! great memory Student-123. The last one is that he's a commercial bio[something]. And this they discussed earlier, describing it as the profession where pharmacists try to find a cure for tumors or something to that effect.</p>
<p>lol, necrophiliac, i dont think you understood my post...i put which ever has is in the answer...jeez, we've discussed this so much im getting confused lol.</p>
<p>look at what you wrote:
"Its deffinately is grown
All I have done was grow...doesnt make sense.
It would be..
All I HAD done was grow...
Therefore...
It's All I have done is grow.
Since I've=I have and I'd=I had"</p>
<p>the opening sentence is "is grown." You just proved to yourself that I'm right.</p>
<p>Um...the person said "It's definitely 'is grow'"...how is that proving you right?</p>
<p>I know...let's all ask our English teachers tomorrow and see what they say. But really, what difference does it make at this point?</p>
<p>Okay, so what exactly was the question...the EXACT question, and options.</p>
<p>It's funny; I don't remember this particular question at all. I remember another question about how the narrator's changes aren't that big of a deal because she's only grown up, while her aunt's changes (diabetes forcing her to retire from teaching) were much more...significant? Painful? Something to that effect.</p>
<p>Or wasn't there a question about the beginning of that sentence, where the answer was AFTER ALL, all I've done...grow up?</p>
<p>guys read what you wrote. "Is grown" =/="is grow" How many times do I need to prove my point?</p>
<p>asked my AP language and composition teacher. It's "was growing" for the reasons I listed.</p>
<p>"All I've done was growing." </p>
<p>?? No.</p>
<p>I put "was grow". Geez, I don't even care anymore, I just want to know my score lol.</p>
<p>All I've done was growing makes no sense and was not an answer choice
All I've done was grow makes perfect sense and is consistent in tense.</p>
<p>Anyone remember more reading questions? That's my worst section :/</p>
<p>I disagree. :)</p>
<p>Haha...this is getting rather amusing from my end. I vote we put this one to rest and move on to another question.</p>
<p>There was the question in the English in the passage about the photographer that went along the lines of:</p>
<p>He knew the power of his photographs. In order to make sure his pictures had an impact, he added captions...</p>
<p>It asked you to pick whichever most correctly modified the previous statement. I had leave as is at first, because i figured "power" and "impact" were differing nouns. Then I changed it to the answer that was something like: "In order to strengthen the impact of his pictures, he added understated captions..."</p>
<p>Ideas?</p>
<p>see, I had trouble on that one. I didn't consider the captions understated. Sure, it said that they were simple, but did that equal understated?</p>
<p>I chose the "understated" one, because I thought about it for a while and decided that the rest of the answers would be slightly redundant since they'd already said that he understood the power of his photos.</p>
<p>My Score Estimates:</p>
<p>English - Perfect
Math - Super super perfect!</p>
<p>Reading - 0 (guessed all) XD
Science - 0 (guessed all) XD</p>
<p>Writing - Perfect!</p>
<p>Overall Composite - 18 Hehehe...</p>
<p>To the one above, it was not "understated." Understated means... when something is being understated... lol... The power of the photo was not being understated. I picked he used concise and powerful captions or something like that. I think I got what jengaman got.</p>
<p>necrophiliac: I agree with you. I was searching for "was growing" but it wasn't on there. Therefore I considered "grow up" as a noun, although it doesn't have a hyphen (stupid ACT!).</p>
<p>Ahhhh who cares I'm happy with moi excellent excellent good good SAT~ I am just taking ACT for fun because I can travel 5 miles to some farm to take the test. (sigh... ACT isn't that popular here in Canada's West Coast - 1 test centre in the whole Greater Vancouver Area)...</p>
<p>An understated performance is often the most powerful performance of all.</p>
