<p>The egg one was in the reading section, but maya lin was in english.</p>
<p>Dinosaur and eggs passage? Perhaps there was more than one test, but there was definitely one about bird eggs/reptilian eggs for me. There wasn't a dinosaur one - it was a dimetrodon, which technically isn't a dinosaur.</p>
<p>I don't care what I get. I am not retaking unless I get an awful SAT score, and even then, I might just retake the SATs. No way am I subjecting myself to the rapid fire science section ever again. Two PSATs, SAT, ACT. I want to be DONE.</p>
<p>First time I finished math, except I had trapezoid down, but then switched to parrellogram because I was unsure what they meant by bisect.</p>
<p>First time I did not a finish a reading test it was definitely longer than usual.</p>
<p>The science had many more passages than I'm accustomed too, did anyone else notice this?</p>
<p>English was good, except the Othello question.</p>
<p>I think the question was:
Ingo, "the object of tragedy Othello," attempted to do in General Othello by telling him that one of his men was attracted to his wife.</p>
<p>I didn't know how to correct it; I thought it was an error.</p>
<p>i learned about mya lin in fourth grade. and it stuck!</p>
<p>I didn't know what bisect meant either. I too put trapezoid then switched to paralleogram. Wasn't it like The object of Othello's tragedy?</p>
<p>I don't recall seeing that answer choice, but perhaps it was there and I was too paranoid to see it.</p>
<p>I don't recall that question, lol. the answer is trapezoid. bisect means to intersect into two equal lengths...</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure it dealt with the apostrophe.</p>
<p>The answer choices were something like:</p>
<p>Othellos'
Othellos
Othello's</p>
<p>(obviously it's Othello's, but the subtleness of the answers might have been confusing)</p>
<p>yay I was right! <em>shakes booty</em> I would be shocked if english wasn't my highest.</p>
<p>oh...othello's...lol it's possessive</p>
<p>Science always has seven passages.</p>
<p>The Othello question definitely said 'the tragedy Othello'; I know this because I recall (or think I do :D) Othello being in italics. It wasn't Ingo, the object of the tragedy Othello, though...it took a paragraph to get to the point.</p>
<p>I think all the answer choices had to do with comma/semicolon placement, and its error was that it either lacked a comma or had one where there wasn't supposed to be one...forget which.</p>
<p>Looking at other people's posts, I think I might have just mis-remembered the passage entirely.</p>
<p>it was with an apostrophe and its placement</p>
<p>it was about shakespeare influencing words/phrases that we use today. it was poorly written, as every passage was.</p>
<p>it was very poorly written. I was half-way through reading it when I figured it was about shakespeare influencing us</p>
<p>I thought they were remarkably well-written, compared to the practice ones I've been doing...so it wasn't like, "OH MY GOD, THESE PASSAGES SUCK!" but rather, "Oh. my. god. The people who wrote these passages knew english!"</p>
<p>For instance, anyone who's done the Barron's practice ACTs should recall the following line:</p>

<p>Even as a mistake that's terrible.</p>
<p>I used the official book. I thought it was pretty good. I hate the pr books though. Joe bloggs.</p>
<p>Curiously, I didn't even know the official book existed until someone mentioned it on the CC boards. I couldn't find it in the aisles at B&N.</p>
<p>that's exactly where I got it! :p</p>
<p>reading was much harder...i took a practice exam directly from the real ACT book and got a 34, on today's, i'd be surpised if i scored above a 29, the math and english were easy</p>
<p>Wow. My browsing skills aren't as sharp as they used to be.</p>
