<p>Me too. I made a chart. See, I can remember things if they're forcibly recalled to memory, but I can't come up with them on my own. Guess I'm getting old.</p>
<p>Which reading passage was the prose fiction?</p>
<p>I made a chart too. I felt it was not worth trying to come up with a formula or something where I would probably get it wrong. The chart was easy and fast. </p>
<p>I also can barely remember anything from the test. There was about five questions that I remembered and now I can't remember a thing. I don't remember any science questions specifically, but then again I really didn't understand any science questions while I was taking the test either!</p>
<p>The prose fiction was the one with the boy and his grandfather, wasn't it? Or was that humanities?</p>
<p>I hated the maya lin passage. It was the hardest for me</p>
<p>prose: grandfather
humanities: the two sisters
social science: conservatism and liberalism
science: bird egg and reptiles</p>
<p>Does anybody know the question "Which of the quadrilaterals' diagnols bisect each other?"</p>
<p>answers were:
square
parallelogram
trapezoid
rhombus
rectangle</p>
<p>(I put trapezoid)</p>
<p>I feel really stupid for not knowing this, as I just blazed through the rest of the math test with no problems.</p>
<p>I thought the reading was very hard. I was still trying to decipher that horrid, horrid liberal-republican government essay when 5 minutes was called. I still had that equally awful bird-reptile egg essay to read through.</p>
<p>I also thought the science was somewhat difficult. I think they tricked me with that (mm^-1), and if they did, I'm going to become ferocious and burn down the ACT headquarters. :mad:</p>
<p>As for the writing, I thought it was pretty easy.</p>
<p>i thought the prose was the sisters and the humanitites was the grandfather</p>
<p>Trapezoid, thats what most of us put</p>
<p>I put paralleogram, but I don't know why :(</p>
<p>for the mm-1 I put because volume is cubed and area is squared, what's the answer? What is prose fiction anyways?</p>
<p>prose fiction is a made up piece of writing without a "structure", unlike a poem. </p>
<p>I put the same as far as the area and volume question</p>
<p>Actually, I think they're both prose. The ACT test makers wanted to be evil, and knowing skim-reading prose is...well, unpleasant, they slipped in another prose under the guise of humanities. Just wait - there'll be a passage from Atlas Shrugged and an Isaac Asimov story next.</p>
<p>The volume is cubed. The area is squared. Prose fiction is, I think, writing that's not like, "So he was all, 'yo, that's not cool,' and she was like, 'oh my god, you're like, so totally right!'"</p>
<p>"for the mm-1 I put because volume is cubed and area is squared, what's the answer?"</p>
<p>that was the only right answer (well, duh!). You could have gotten that without looking at the graph/table/experiment. The other choices were like "volume is squared, area is cubed, etc."</p>
<p>I think I saw the word 'Humanities' somewhere in the two sisters essay.</p>
<p>Oh and as for the mm^-1 part, I wasn't talking about the s^2/v^3 question. I was talking about the other questions that dealt with it. For some reason I felt that I had been tricked. I'm sure these fears are irrational.</p>
<p>I hated that one. It was kind of weird.</p>
<p>It is that area is squared and volume cubed. It was S/V = SurfaceArea/Volume, so mm^2/mm^3 cancels out to 1/mm^1 = mm^-1</p>
<p>I'm thinking definite retake in June. <em>shakes fist</em> darn you mathematics!</p>
<p>yup exactly. and i LOVED MYA LIN!!!!</p>
<p>I personally had a mya lin passage, but I dont recall a dinosaur and eggs passage, perhaps there was more than one test?</p>
<p>Oh wait I think I remember, Mya Lin was on the English section.</p>
<p>dinosaur was science and eggs were reading, if that clarifies anything</p>
<p>The dinosaur passage was in Science. The egg passage was in reading. The Mya Lin passage was in Writing.</p>
<p>It seems an odd coincidence that we were talking about Mya Lin's Vietnam Memorial in American History yesterday. :)</p>
