April ACT: What did you think?

<p>yeah they talked about the garden problem a while back...but I got 8 rows and so did a few other people. i agree that the real ACT was harder than the practice tests...it was my first one too</p>

<p>For the graph question of the ball, how would the graph be a parabola going up when the kinetic energy eventually goes to 0 when the ball stops?</p>

<p>Ok good, I got 8 too. I tried to do it so many different ways and I kept getting 6 or 7 at first.</p>

<p>jengaman, the kinetic energy is going up because the ball is gaining velocity (KE=.5mv^2). It is the potential energy that is going down, but that wasn't used in the graphs.</p>

<p>jengaman,</p>

<p>for the parabla the ball started rolling down, which means KE increases, then it went into free-fall, which means KE increase even steeper, and it was most when it made impact, so i guess the graph didnt show after that</p>

<p>basically, none of the other graphs showed a increase that kept getting steeper...i think</p>

<p>English and the writing were incredibly easy for me. For the English, I actually had time to double check all the questions plus some. Science was brutal, though. CR would have been better if the proctor wasn't 5 minutes off on the time. All of a sudden he just went "oh oops, you have two minutes left" when we all thought we had seven. So frenzied guessing on that. Math was okay, but I couldn't figure out two or three problems (the 11 rows?). I think a 36 for English, 29 for Math, 33 for CR, and 25 for science for a nice 30-31. Haha.</p>

<p>on the rectangle rotation question was -4,-7 even a choice? i'm not sure if it put 4,-7 or -4,-7 but my answer had a 4 and a 7</p>

<p>im pretty sure both of them were options. i got 4,-7</p>

<p>what was the answer to the first reading question? (martha and ola share all of the following except..)</p>

<p>Also, if english was very easy for everyone, is it possible that -1=34? Has anyone heard of such a harsh curve?</p>

<p>on the rectangle one, did anyone notice a pattern?
just an example, like Point A was (2,3) B (4,3), C (2,6), D (4,6)
I dunno something like that, the numbers were repeated in some, so for rectangle 2, you just had to match point B with whichever corresponded with it.</p>

<p>tritium: it was when they paused before they ____</p>

<p>well yeah. if you plot those points theyll make a rectangle. two points are gonne have the same x and two are gonna have the same y.</p>

<p>yeah, what michelle said. the answer is 4,-7 when you graph it. it shows you precisely where you need the other point</p>

<p>did density, mass, and volume change for that one experiment.</p>

<p>density and volume i think</p>

<p>I said only volume and density changed or something? Or maybe just volume. I don't remember. I do know that I didn't think mass changed (conservation of mass, right?)</p>

<p>****. was the rectangle choice c or h? the 3rd one?</p>

<p>what was the original point A and B and transformed A in the rectangle math problem</p>

<p>For the flower garden one...there was this one extreeemely simple question that stumped me because I couldn't tell whether they were talking about the entire fenced area as a whole or just the area where vegetables could be planted.</p>

<p>Was the answer 104 square feet (I think? 8 x 13) or 150?</p>

<p>i think it was the whole fenced area. i remember checking to make sure.
there was one about the area of a trapezoid that i just couldnt get to work. i think i said something that was in between 50 and 70</p>
