December 2014 ACT Discussion Thread

<p>@Arshaanm‌ : First time. I’ve taken the SAT before, and took a few practice tests for this one. All I need is a 29. <em>fingers crossed</em></p>

<p>@godsgem322 ill be happy with 30 lol, but i feel like I’m imagining because i guessed for quite a few questions. </p>

<p>If you are confident you prob achieved your goal of 29</p>

<p>I think I got 31</p>

<p>Ok so predictions…
English: 1 - 2, 35
Math: 0, 36
Reading: 0, 36
Science: 1 - 6, In the range of 32 to 36
I might order the hand rescore service thing, I had some bubbling problems at the start. </p>

<p>@jepps23‌ were you uncertain on any sections? did you have to guess often?</p>

<p>some answers I got for math after looking at my calculator:</p>

<p>129 (forgot problem)
45.2 for lighthouse one
4 students between 88-89.</p>

<p>verify anyone?</p>

<p>It definitely wasn’t H, H was the one who introduced the narrator to the band. The passage indicated a transition in band members from Shag (left) to some other kid (joined) (i.e. the narrators friend saying he hadn’t heard any of that bands music in between Shag and Otherguy)</p>

<p>I got the students one. Guessed on lighthouse. Lol. </p>

<p>BTW, curves are wild in my prep books lol. My Barron’s is much more forgiving than 1296 ACT Questions. I’m calculating using various curves to see what I may get. Ahaha.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the english question that asked to revise a sentence to make it more specific? Question was about ironing surfaces. Choices were along the lines of “making use of whatever is available at home” or “using chairs…”</p>

<p>Oh boy. Talk about differences! For a -2 E, it varies from 34-35. But for -7E, it ranges from 29-33! Haha. Oh boy. I’m comparing different books and tests, and now I’m worried about my score. Absolute worst case composite ranges from 26 <em>gulp</em> to 29 (better). Oh curves, oh boy. O.o </p>

<p>Semitransparent or semi transparency?</p>

<p>it’s semitransparent</p>

<p>What was the answer to the English question about the purpose of stating (a private secretary of Jefferson)… Was it linking the two characters together or introducing the main characters</p>

<p>@Arshaanm‌ i felt pretty confident with all the sections-even great on some. But I definitely had my fair share of guesses haha</p>

<p>@Tyler3418‌ it was linking them bro</p>

<p>@GodsGem322‌ i got the score you wanted last time by getting E: 28, M:30, R:33, S: 23</p>

<p>i think i got E: 31-33, M: 31-33, R: 26-27, S: 28-29 based on the 1296 act book scales</p>

<p>-/3 - /3 or -1 - 1 for inequality</p>

<p>wait… how about the question on reading about how it said “I’ve never seen the band play before the time between macgregor and somebody”… on the reading passage about the boy and the band. What did that mean? </p>

<p>@xxjmodxx‌ </p>

<p>The latter i think</p>
