ACT Sept 2012 MATH

<p>I’m almost positive it was K, because i graphed it on my calc and was like ■■ yes.</p>

<p>Yyeeeeeahhhhhhh!!!</p>

<p>I don’t know what happened, but I graphed all the answer choices in my calculator and they were all just plain old parabolas opening up :(</p>

<p>Okay for the statement given to us:
Is the girl worked on Friday, she did not have to work Saturday.</p>

<p>I put the answer as “If she did not work Saturday, then she worked Friday.”
but I just read some posts where they put another answer like “is she did work saturday, then she didn’t work on Friday.”</p>

<p>whattt?? I think my answer is straightforward and has no assumptions from the given statement. for those who did not choose the same answer as me and chose the other option, can u guys explain?<br>
ugh…so far i missed 3 questions on math. not happy.</p>

<p>@Nivers</p>

<p>I think I answered with the latter, or at least whatever answer choice K was.</p>

<p>You can not say that because in the real world she could have been off both days. I read a whole website about how that logic staments can fall out in the real world. I think the answer was almost the same as the question most people picked a answer before reading all the options.</p>

<p>Okay…omg. SO I missed 4 questions??? this can’t be happening. I thought this math section, last page specifcally was hard. ugh. Noooo…so where does that bring me? 32-33?</p>

<p>@nivers</p>

<p>Last page is meant to be hard lol</p>

<p>and yea, just about</p>

<p>You could still get a 34 if it curves nice.</p>

<p>@kevy Okay, I know that it gets easiest to hardest. I’m familiar with the format. what i meant was this was harder than most tests I’ve taken. -.-</p>

<p>@nivers its a contrapositive lol</p>

<p>if p then q
if notq then not p</p>

<p>if not p then q
if not q then p</p>

<p>you negate both statements and flip them</p>

<p>Wow…geometry memories from freshman year…
of course they throw this kind of question in when there were no questions like it on any practice test I took.</p>

<p>Yea math was a bit harder than the ones I took in Real ACT Prep… so **** you ACT</p>

<p>“Wait, wan’t the baseball average one easy? Or was there some trick to it that I missed??”</p>

<p>I messed up my math, I believe.</p>

<p>anyone remember how many A’s they put for the end of math? like the last 13 questions? i messed up my timing and had to guess</p>

<p>Nivers, u prolly got 32 on math. Even though the math was “slightly” harder, there will be a LOT of perfect scores for math. I’m think the curve will be 60-36, 59-35, 58-34…so on</p>

<p>i just remembered a question that i may have severely screwed. It was order of operations type question where you basically had 2 polynomials in parenthesis but one of the polynomials had a power outside of it. So did you have to multiply the two terms first or were you supposed to raise the second term to its indicated power first? </p>

<p>Example of the structure of the problem (probably not the actual numbers/letters):
(X^5 + Y^2)(X^3 + Y^4)^4</p>

<p>Nooo…I just remembered 2 more questions that I guessed on… I mightve gotten those wrong as well. UGH NO! NOT HAPPY. so that 5-6 wrong. im gonna cry. math is my strongest section…but on this ACT, WHAT HAPPENED???</p>
