<p>Can we start a reading discussion? I am a little worried about this section...</p>
<p>I probably spend 10 minutes on the 1st passage just to answer 5 questions and finally decided to skip it and come back. I ended up finishing all of the other passages and only had to guess on 2 from the 1st passage.</p>
<p>Omg same with me! I took 10 minutes on the first, and then whipped through the second passage in like 5 minutes to get back on track. It was stressful.</p>
<p>best reading i’ve ever done. Easiest section of the day for sure.</p>
<p>Yeah. I was literally about to give up on it. I did that on my first ACT (October) and only answered 1 passage. Somehow, I still managed to get a 23 for the reading even though I just guessed on the rest. I ended up with a 30 composite on that one.</p>
<p>I think that the reading is the worst because something about the break makes the fatigue from the exam start to set in and, to make it worse, I just flat out hate reading. I just sucked it up though and am happy with my decision to do so!</p>
<p>It amazes me how people can say that reading is their easiest section… It is by FAR my hardest. I could probably do the math section blindfolded, but I just cannot seem to comprehend the passages well enough in the reading section.</p>
<p>@wcc I am the exact same way. Let’s discuss some answers. I can’t think of any off the top of my head…</p>
<p>As for me, I go in this order:</p>
<p>Prose fic -> Natural Science -> Social Science -> Humanities.</p>
<p>In ascending order(time).</p>
<p>I think I did pretty well. Not 100% sure though. I definitely missed 1+ I think.</p>
<p>hardest one (if any) was definately the natural science not prose lol.</p>
<p>@nba, I can’t either… The only questions I remember are the math ones lol</p>
<p>@wcc Haha, we are the same.</p>
<p>No i meant easiest was prose lol. Hardest for me was humanities, though I think Natural Science is the part that I missed one on.</p>
<p>@Iris Do you remember some of the answers? If you only missed one can you spit out all of your responses that you remember?</p>
<p>@nbasuns2
I meant there’s one that I’M SURE that I missed. Sorry for the misunderstanding</p>
<p>Prose fiction was the lady from Kashmir, right?
These are not verbatim</p>
<p>I put:</p>
<ul>
<li>She probably lives separately from her children.</li>
<li>It did NOT mention Iker(spelling?) payed a lot of money for the bulb.</li>
<li>She was satisfied that her house symbolized her family’s life or something.</li>
<li>She compares her family to Roots</li>
<li>Not used to being isolated</li>
<li>Interwining memories of past and the present</li>
<li>It infers that she favorted stability over something</li>
</ul>
<p>Humanities (The comedy one?):</p>
<ul>
<li>He was receiving less money</li>
<li>He got dumped by Mini(name?)</li>
<li>He made up(ad-libbed) the statement on the stage</li>
<li>“it” refers to his new partnership</li>
<li>It did NOT state whether OTHER GUY was a straight man.</li>
<li>The meeting between OTHER guy and author was something like coincidential because the OTHER guy was missing a straight man or something.</li>
<li>Short meant missing</li>
</ul>
<p>Social Science:</p>
<ul>
<li>Shows problems that states had drafting their constitution</li>
<li>Illustrations answering several/few questions.</li>
<li>It was a “slap in the face” because they did not even try to draft a constitution</li>
<li>The last paragraph meant that they’ll be able to mark a new something in the history (not sure about this one)</li>
</ul>
<p>Natural Science</p>
<ul>
<li>He was interested in the extra tissue in the v. rat’s mouth</li>
<li>They all developed similar characteristics despite the geographical difference</li>
<li>The passage was about plants and animals something in salt something (I can’t remember the wording, but I Remember the “idea”)</li>
</ul>
<p>I’ll update when I think of more.</p>
<p>yep iris i got all those exact answers</p>
<p>On the comedian passage, did anyone get an answer like “In a low moment of his career at a low moment, he unexpectedly found Rocky… blah blah.” I think it was A. I felt like it was the only one that made sense but it definitely said “low moment” twice…</p>
<p>i think the surprised one for the natural science was that it tore the salt off the leaf. it said word for word “i was astonished that it took the salt right off”</p>
<p>I’m sure about mark a new page in history (i’m not sure about wording), but i’m sure that was the right answer.</p>
<p>also are you sure in the comedy one it was the start of a new partnership? I put a start of his sub in for the other guy… not sure though. I changed my answer between those two a couple times…
also for the same passage did you guys get one of the answers to an except question that was “whether he had ever been a strait man before”</p>
<p>no , for the natural science one the astonished part dealt with the speed the thing tore it off. I spent a while on this question, and I’m pretty confident.</p>
<p>@greenmamba i got that too i think. something about how it tore it off quickly.</p>
<p>@ncdukie yeah i got the “whether he had ever been a straight man”.</p>
