<p>yeah. it was like “she spoke about such complex issues with such clarity that her audience easily understood.” something along those lines</p>
<p>what do y’all think about a -2/3 on science? what would that be?</p>
<p>jman do you remember the choices for that question?</p>
<p>nope just the right answer, which was “easily understood.”</p>
<p>was the answer obvious because I don’t remmber anything about it lol :o</p>
<p>thecheeseman- I can’t answer this lol. I had five mins to do that one so all I did was skim throughout the passage (I had to guess on the ones about the P600 and all that b/c of the time constraint). I say that at least I got 6/10 right. All the info was there, except for the author’s answer, which was intrigued.
I found the prose fiction (usually the easiest lol) and the algae one very time consuming.</p>
<p>easily understood
understood easily
other 2 that didnt seem as probable as the other two</p>
<p>Axel0102- Haha I was the same. I had about 5 minutes left or so, saw a bunch of numbers (P600-P400) and lost all desire to actually read the passage. It was basically seemed like a science section lol</p>
<p>What’s the difference between choosing easily understood and understood easily?
And do you remember what the question was asking for</p>
<p>^person above me:</p>
<p>I don’t think those were two options. I do, however, know the answer was “easily understood.” I don’t think there would be a difference.</p>
<p>I thought the Shakespeare was the easiest. I actually knew a little bit about it before.</p>
<p>I think somebody said idiom?</p>
<p>little pavs- what did you put for the personification question?</p>
<p>it was the train’s speed, undoubtedly</p>
<p>I actually thought all the sections apart from Science were pretty easy. And I’m not uber smart or anything (I got a 1980 on the SAT if that means anything to anyone). </p>
<p>But this was my first ACT. And just the week before, I had been studying hardcore for SATs. So I think I was well prepared for the types of questions on the ACT. </p>
<p>I think the amount of time given for the Reading section is completely unreasonable but I realized that if I just jumped into the questions first and THEN read the passage, I managed my time WAY better and I was able to actually finish the section and go back and check my answers. </p>
<p>The last five or so questions on the Math section tripped me up but everything prior to that was super easy to me. </p>
<p>And I missed an entire passage on the Science section because I spent so much time thinking about a few prior questions.</p>
<p>Right now, I’m depending on my December SAT scores and hoping for the best for the ACT scores.</p>
<p>On the English section, was it “Like me,” or “Like I,”? Also “they say” or “Parmesan says”?</p>
<p>it was like me and i don’t remember the second part</p>
<p>Here are a few math questions people may still be confused about:
- the one where a chord is inscribed in a circle. I assumed and proved on the test using trignometry that the answer was the radius. Using the polygon angle formula and using cosine I determined this during the test.
- For the sin^2 question, you needed to utilize the quadratic equation and get roots. Then you do cos^-1(the root) to get your answer.</p>
<p>And to comment on the science section: I was thoroughly dissapointed that the science section stated that birds are reptile-like and we all know reptiles are cold blooded, ectothermic; however, after looking up the body temperature regulations of birds it has been settled that birds are endotherms…
Additionally some of the science questions required analysis and former information that most students who havent taken science rigorous classes would struggle with.</p>
<p>The reading section, however, was very fair. True there were a few ambiguous questions, but those are always present on tests like this. For example the question about “make sport of” really required full understanding of the question and the context. Other than that, in my opinion, everything was fully capable of bein completed with good accuracy.</p>
