ACT...Oct 23rd Official Thread

<p>I think it wouldn't hurt to have a background in Chemisty and Earth Science for the science. Im in physics and thought that it didn't have much if any physics. I know alot of you take chemistry, but Earth Science? How many take that?</p>

<p>that native american question was not B... there was nothing in the passage about it being "constraining." it was that it spread the native american culture and helped combine the ideas of different tribes or something like that</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>I think your right about that.</p>

<p>I thought this was an easier science section than I've seen in practice books or even easier than the one I took in Feb. form earlier this year. maybe it was the fact that charts were everywhere. I love charts....</p>

<p>how bout this? i'm sitting there taking the english test and the lady calls out 5 min. left, but i'm only on question 49/75, and im going, excuse me, are you kidding? this was the only test i expected to finish early, so she goes, let me count, and then she announces we have 8 minutes left. I start frantically filling in ovals, then i ask her how much time because it seems like 8 minutes is up, and she goes, you have 9 minutes, be quiet, others are testing.
I was like, WHAT? now i dont know where i started guessing, so i had to go back and start over at question 50, which sucked.</p>

<p>o yeah,
1.English
2. Reading
3. Math
4. Science</p>

<p>How can you make sure colleges see a score on the Oct 23 ACT in time for ED? is this possible?</p>

<p>does anyone remember the question: Sometimes, this can be a determining factor or a factor that determines it. it was in the english section, about the speaking spanish and english. something like that. i forgot</p>

<p>slip4: I left "determining factor" (NO CHANGE) as the answer.</p>

<p>Nike: my calculator said there were no answers also.</p>

<p>I left "determining factor", too. </p>

<p>Does anyone remember what they put for the question in English that used the word refreshed with a preposition...I don't remember exactly but I was down to these two choices:</p>

<p>refreshed in mind and body (I put this one.)</p>

<p>refreshed with mind and body</p>

<p>Am I right?</p>

<p>Also, did that tick anyone else off on the first reading passage, the pronoun error? God, I wasted a couple minutes trying to figure out how it could possibly work. It was the story about Danny and April. It confused me from the start and made me have to rush at the end. Grr...</p>

<p>Yeah, it's refreshed in mind and body. I think that one was no change too</p>

<p>How about the math question that dealt with the range...</p>

<p>The choices were something like -pi to pi, -2pi to 2p, 3, 2 , and something else.</p>

<p>I seriously could not remember this because it has been a while since I graphed sin waves and all that. I figured it was one with the pi in it so I guesed -2pi to 2pi though now I am thinking it is prob just the -pi to pi... </p>

<p>Does anyone know this answer?</p>

<p>Thx for the reply douche... I've got another math question that I think some people mentioned earlier. It was near the end of test and had a bunch of circles with bolded curves. We were supposed to figure out the distance of all the arcs. Well, I prob got this wrong because I was hustling, but what I did was check the radius which was 12pi I think and then multiply it by every curve and there were 12 curves. That gave me 144pi. However, I think a curve should be longer than the straight radius, so the answer would need to be a little greater. The next biggest number was much too big, so I put 144pi. Did I miss something in the question????</p>

<p>Everyone else seems to think it is 48pi. I must have missed something?</p>

<p>Douche? :)</p>

<p>The range is -3 to 3 I think.</p>

<p>It was 48 pi.</p>

<p>Okay, thx... :(</p>

<p>I think the native american question was B, the author said that the tribes were different and that it would be bad to combine them. I remember reading that somewhere.</p>

<p>Does anyone know they score this exactly? For example if you miss 4 math would you end up with a 32? I think it somewhat like for everyone you get wrong you drop a point, but is there an actual scale thing online anywhere?</p>

<p>For the Native American passage, did anyone pick an answer like "perpetually a beginner"?</p>

<p>hey, for the math questions, the range was -3>y>3, and the next problem is 48 pi...only 1/3 of each circle intersects, and there were onyl 6 curves that intersected; the circumference of each circle was 8pi, so 6*8pi=48pi...hurray</p>

<p>I'm starting to remember the test..hehe</p>

<p>On the question on english that wanted you to contrast..ummm it was on the story about the print shop. </p>

<p>I put "professional capacity"</p>

<p>I can't remember all the choices, but one was "my own career".</p>

<p>What was the answer?</p>
