Feb 2009 ACT Science

<p>...yeah discuss.</p>

<p>this section was less difficult than the December one.</p>

<p>lol I totally agree
this was my first time taking it and I was like "so this is the legendary science section?"
XD</p>

<p>After the December test (my first ACT), this science section seemed SO MUCH easier,
even though I still got a few wrong.
Atleast I finished on time with this science section.</p>

<p>The only other time I've taken the Science section was the December ACT. I somehow managed to get a 28 even though I ran out of time and had to completely guess on the last section.</p>

<p>So yeah, MUCH easier this time. Huge relief. I easily finished.</p>

<p>I couldn't tell if this month's test was easier or if I was just better prepared...</p>

<p>how harsh of a curve do u think this science section will get? i remember taking a practice test in the Real ACT book and one of the science curves was -1= 34 and -3=30 and the science test today was only a bit harder than the one in the book</p>

<p>It felt like the reading and science were a little bit easier to understand. I didn't really get the one with the river sediments and stuff.</p>

<p>^Same! It took me a while to understand, since their was "river blahblahblah" on the first table, and also on the initial diagram. My brain went nuts; then again, it always does on the Science :(</p>

<p>yeah,by the time I get to science, I'm very tired and hungry.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question in the first passage about what would have to be assumed for the scientist to make this prediction? What did you guys get for that?</p>

<p>Oh yeah that gave me a little trouble. I remember my answer had something to do with weight control or weight gain/loss.</p>

<p>I got stuck on a few of the questions, but I also thought it was a good bit easier than the practice tests that I've taken. Many of the harder questions were still just common sense.</p>

<p>I got stuck on the question that asked about the river speed opposite the sandbar.
I put moving faster and removes sediment, but can anyone confirm this answer?</p>

<p>I don't know, for that I put moving slower and depositing, because the whole wording was pretty confusing.</p>

<p>I put moving faster and removing sediment, and I am very confident with that answer. If you think about it, something that is eroded has less sediment(or whatever) than before it started to erode. And a faster river would remove more sediment in a certain amount of time than a slower river would.</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the first question on the last passage? The answer choices all had kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy, but one was added;one subtracted;one multiplied; one divided. This gave me more trouble than it should have.</p>

<p>I think I got subtracted</p>

<p>subtracted.</p>

<p>i got so lost on the question, to find the chemical compound of the solution 1 X1.
how were we supposed to figure out? all we know is the BR (?) numbers.
I ended up guessing C.
what was the correct one?</p>

<p>subtracted and faster, removes more sediment</p>

<p>I think I put B for the chemical compound of solution 1 X1, but I do not remember my reasoning.</p>
