ACT...Oct 23rd Official Thread

<p>Math: I think it was asking for the height of the tower and you were given the shadow length. Maybe it was the other way around though. Either way it was undeterminable.</p>

<p>Reading: The cause of 'death' was wind.</p>

<p>I don't remember the science one very clearly, but I believe in table one the phosphorous content of pine needles was zero and therefore it absorbed none. I believe the soil actually absorbed the phos.</p>

<p>Yes, the phosphorous content of the pine needles was zero, so i'm pretty sure it had to be just "soil."</p>

<p><em>sighhh</em> so anyone remember the LETTER answers to #38 and 39 on reading?
annnd how about that science? hehe a -6-7 would be around?? Thanks!</p>

<p>I'm still looking for the curve info.</p>

<p>-6 or 7 on the science is gonna be a 27-28 i think</p>

<p>Here's a little helpful info:</p>

<p>do colleges see your subscores like math, science, reading, and english scores?</p>

<p>Anyone up for predicting your scores?</p>

<p>I think I got :</p>

<p>36 English
28 Math
34 Reading
25 Science</p>

<p>Here is some great info:</p>

<p>There is a scale!</p>

<p>For the alice question I think I said she became more "comprehendible".</p>

<p>Dang it!!!! I didn't put indeterminable.. ah!! Hopefully that was the only math error I made.</p>

<p>I'm going for a 35...</p>

<p>Last time I got a 33 but didn't get one second of sleep the night before the test because I was addicted to online poker at the time...</p>

<p>I think "comprehendible" is correct</p>

<p>I put that also, Jaina. </p>

<p>Also, if I take the december 11th ACT, and my college apps are due Jan 1st, do i have to specify colleges on the day of the test? Or can i wait to see what i got and then send it?</p>

<p>What was the one about the width of the trees? I put that the width stayed the same up until 200m or something like that.</p>

<p>Moo, it would be best if you contacted the colleges or sent them a note and let them know you were taking the ACT again.</p>

<p>I think you have to specify ahead of time</p>

<p>My predictions:
English:34
Math:32
Reading:32
Science:36</p>

<p>well, it is until I everyone mentions all of the other ones I got wrong :)</p>

<p>I put the width decreased drastically for that one.</p>

<p>In the paragraph it didn't emphasize a large change in size but it did say the size was about half at 200 feet up.</p>

<p>80% sure that was the correct answer.</p>

<p>K, thanks. I was originally shooting for a 34, based on the practice tests I took, but after making stupid mistakes and going too slow, I'm hoping for a 30 lol...</p>

<p>no, the width one wasn't constant until 200m... it said in the reading something about how it base is 40 something meters and it gets smaller</p>
