December ACT 2008 Science

<p>I put B. 110, 120</p>

<p>It was 100, 110, 120</p>

<p>100 110 120</p>

<p>Anybody remember the letter choice for the last question (the speed of light one)?</p>

<p>Wasn't C the the speed of light aka the time it took for the thing to capture the distance? So it was time/distance or c/d, then you had to multiply by 2 to get the time going back.</p>

<p>@sean256 – that was by far the issue here. Unless you're taking the AP classes in all of those areas (my high school offers 1 AP class, and only Seniors are allowed to take it, no exceptions) trying to sort out all of that information in less than a minute is insane. On past ACT exams I could do what petlee said, but there was just too much this time around =/</p>

<p>I thought I was going to finally break the 30 point mark.......and then I saw the science section. Definitely ruined my chances. That section has got to be the hardest section I have ever taken on a standardized test! When I receive my score, I think I'm gonna cry.</p>

<p>So what do u all think the curve is?
How many wrong would you say you can get for a ~30?</p>

<p>^ same here. That test was impossible!</p>

<p>any predictions for the curve?</p>

<p>Science test was ridiculous... i mean ***</p>

<p>Seriously, if anyone correctly answered all 40 questions on that test, he/she is amazing. That being said, I think -2 will still be a 36 on this one. -2 was a 36 in June science and I actually think this one was harder. I posted a prediction like this in another thread:</p>

<p>36 -1/-2
35 -3
34 -4
33 -5/-6
32 -7
31 -8
30 -9
29 -10
28 -11
27 -12</p>

<p>No. C is m/s or distance over time. We were looking for time, so we would divide C by distance and multiply by two.</p>

<p>What about the crossover one RR and TT. How are you supposed to know that if you have'nt taken biology yet?</p>

<p>haha ok.. lemme settle this light problem down...
d= distance (m)
C=light of speed (m/s)
In order to get time, it has to be T=2D/c because if u look at the units, its m/(m/s)= s
its 2D because its a round trip. fo sho!
I believe the Uranium was alpha decay because both X and Z of Uranium changes and beta decay changes only Z I think</p>

<p>Guys I hate to say it but I might be in ur test, killin ur curve. I found science pretty easy today, hopefully I'll exceed my 30 comp from october...</p>

<p>I LOVED that one on uranium decay, and the baseball one was pretty fun too. I'm seriously not being sarcastic; I'm a freakin' nerd :D</p>

<p>I think it was Rr Tt</p>

<p>i think i got owned even if the curve is as good as guitarman's</p>

<p>:)</p>

<p>Oh. LOL. You are completely correct Metlife. Sorry, I am wiped. I did put 2d/c because that was the smallest answer, and the time would be very small.. Don't know what I was thinking in that reply-- lol.</p>

<p>What were the letters for the 2dc one. I remember one was A and one was D, but I dont remember which was which</p>
