Feb 12 ACT

<p>@nadosh: yes. I basically just applied the strategy of going straight to the questions and then finding the chart/graph/paragraph where the answer was. I was able to find every answer relatively shortly, so in my opinion, it really wasn’t that hard.</p>

<p>what was the answer to the math question asking for the ratios of the two radii in that circle inscribed in triangle inscribed in square question? </p>

<p>also, what was the answer to the math questions with the two intersecting squares (one of side length 4 and one of side length 5) where it asked you to calculate the area of the intersecting region?</p>

<p>^i’d like to know, also.</p>

<p>we can discuss questions now?</p>

<p>yeah those were pretty much the only math ones i wasn’t sure about…kinda guessed-emitated</p>

<p>The answer to radii ratio was 2:1
The two squares was 4</p>

<p>yeah thats what i got for the radii</p>

<p>ok so for the prose, the question about the birthday and the bridge, was Lydia’s name an answer choice?</p>

<p>i think i picked Michael’s name in a rush (i do prose section last)</p>

<p>E: Easiest section
M: Easy (except my calculator died on the last 12 questions…gd)
R: Medium (my calculator dying slightly impacted this score b/c I kept thinking back to math =/)
S: Medium (again, math secion…smh)
W: I liked it</p>

<p>I got a 33 w/o writing (I regret not taking it), so I retook it today. Hopefully I’ll break 30 because of my “calculator problems”? Kinda depressed. I’m still a junior though so that’s good. </p>

<p>For the record, my calculator isn’t turning on even when I put in new batteries. Texas Instruments, you befuddle me.</p>

<p>Yes, Lydia was the correct choice.</p>

<p>NICE I GOT THAT RIGHT by guesstimating!</p>

<p>Was “wilderness” or “wildlife” the answer for the fertility question in the passage about farming?</p>

<p>What was the answer for the last question on Math? I ran out of time.
English and Reading was easy. Science was a bit tougher, Math kicked my ass. I’m pretty sure I missed 5 or 6.</p>

<p>Yes, wilderness was the right answer.</p>

<p>It was .0225 I believe, and the answer was 2.25%?</p>

<p>yeah i got 2.25% for that one</p>

<p>^^^ Yes. Wilderness was the answer.
^^ Pi/4<x<Pi/2
^That’s what I got also.</p>

<p>was Pi/4<x<Pi/2 choice A?</p>

<p>^ Pretty sure it was choice E, because I think that A-D were all answers involving some negative pi number. Then again, I’m not sure if the answers are in the same order on every form, but that’s what it was for me. I had 69C</p>

<p>It wasn’t choice A. A was -Pi/4<x< (Can’t remember)</p>

<p>Everyone has the answers in different order. Choice A for you might not be Choice A for him.</p>

<p>I had form 69C so I’m assuming they are the same. I wasn’t aware that they scrambled the answers though.</p>
