<p>Oh, and on the mirror question, I put 55. It was one of those I went back to. I think I went around the edges of the shape and started solving each "strike" angle, so it became clear after that.</p>
<p>what letter was 55</p>
<p>I think it was the B (the second choice) for 55. This is assuming I remember accurately and that the choices went from lowest to highest.</p>
<p>First time taking ACT (though I think I've taken Explore or somethin before):</p>
<p>English--This was pretty easy.
Math--I couldn't get the angle problem but sortof "guestimated" by drawing a horizontal line to make a right angle with the vertical part of the angle. Then I tried to imagine where 45 degrees would be, and it seemed like the actual line (the other part of the angle) was close to half-way in between 45 degrees and my drawn-in line, so I put 70 (Sorry if none of <<that makes any sense). Also, now that I've read this thread, I think I missed the garden question as well.
Reading--I didn't think this was too bad--there were two or three where I was iffy.
Science--I definitely underestimated the level of difficulty for this section. In preparing for the ACT, I only practiced the science section once and thought that I would be fine. I definitely had to bubble in at least five questions as C. This section is definitely going to bring down my score.</p>
<p>for the mirror, i think i saw a pattern in which the reflection split it into a 40-X-40 angle, so i followed the arrows until the depicted angle and it was 70.</p>
<p>Figures aren't neccessarily drawn to scale, however.</p>
<p>for lense cap im pretty sure its insecurity cuz whenever she mentioned it she noted that she was nervous.</p>
<p>Ptranium: thats true, but i read that it is drawn to scale from princeton review. the ACT just says it doesn't. but anyway i actually had no idea how to solve it, i just noted a pattern. oh and i got the answer was 70.</p>
<p>Not to sound like an ***hole, but if you guys read the problem, it said that the angle that the light strikes a mirror is the same angle it leaves. Thus, the 40-X-40 conclusion is correct; you continue along the sides until you get enough angles to find 3 of the quadrilateral's angles. Then, you do 360-angle to get a second angle for the first triangle. 180 - that angle is your angle. I don't remember the answer, however. Although, for some reason, I BELIEVE I got 70. Just seems familiar.</p>
<p>This question on science bugged me.</p>
<p>It was the final question dealing with voltage. It asked something along the lines of "Because of the position of something, the students made the assumption that"</p>
<p>Nearly all of the voltage passed through the wire was the correct answer, I think. Was that the second choice (B or G)?</p>
<p>that was the current went through the test wire</p>
<p>awesome! i just guessed that answer. actually i just guessed the entire science portion. it stinks cause it was like 1/2 physics, which i can't take until senior year...</p>
<p>Hah, when I was taking it today, I was under the assumption that pictures weren't <em>necessarily</em> drawn to scale, but I did it like that anyway just because I couldn't think of any surefire way to do it.</p>
<p>But thanks for letting me/us know, Procrastination.</p>
<p>I'm guessing -0=36 for english -1=36 for reading, -1=36 for math, and -2=36 for science. what do people think?</p>
<p>AWESOME XD That was what I put because I resorted to thinking that since the middle wire was closer to the metal wire than the little circle, then the voltage must've gone through the test wire-if that made any sense.</p>
<p>I agree. 10char</p>
<p>in the second and third columm of english part(anwering sheet) did you guys get a lot of repeating letters like 2 d's followed by 3 c's- something like this?</p>
<p>thats what i thought as well... ugh not feeling too good cuz thats what i did for the whole passage.</p>
<p>was the graph a parabola in the science passage talking about a sphere falling down</p>
