February 2011 ACT RESULTS + DISCUSSION

<p>What did everyone think of it?</p>

<p>E: Much harder than usual, but not too bad.
M: Typical, but I didn't finish :(
R: Easier than usual, but still a struggle for time.
S: WAY easier than usual.</p>

<p>I hope everyone did well!</p>

<p>E:easy
M:extremely easy
R:harder than usual and not enough time (I got a 35 last time on this, but would be lucky for a 30 now)
S: kinda iffy, just hoping for a 30 but realistically will get below that</p>

<p>Overall: I went in wanting to get a 33, but now I’m just hoping to get a 31 again. Luckily, my number 1 Cornell takes the best scores from each section, so I think I did a lot better in E and M than usual. Now, it’s just time to wait the teeth clenching two weeks!!!</p>

<p>Who as a pronoun always gets me</p>

<p>i studied english like crazy do it wasn’t too bad, but you’re right. i hate who</p>

<p>Goal: 32
Prediction: 31 :frowning:
E:31 :frowning:
M:32 :frowning:
R:28
S:31</p>

<p>Hey, can someone please tell me what they predict I got in each section, assuming that I got this many wrong in each section:</p>

<p>E: 15 wrong
R: 11 wrong
M: 6 wrong
S: 5 wrong</p>

<p>Thanks so much! I’m just really worried…</p>

<p>lets get some individual section discussions going like there was for the december act. and then everyone just post the questions they remember or need help with or something</p>

<p>I’m SO scared :frowning: I went in aiming for a 34…now I’m praying for a 33. It’s my first sitting.</p>

<p>English: Unsure about 2 (Slightly harder than usual)
Math: Unsure about 2 (MUCH easier than usual)
Reading: Unsure about either 2 or 3 (Same as always)
Science; BOMBED -.- Lucky for -6 (MUCH harder than usual)</p>

<p>I got to recheck my English and Math, so I am sure I got only -2 or -3 maximum on those. Reading was super easy as well, again -2 or -3 maximum. It’s just the science that totally totally killed me. What would I get if I got the breakdown I mentioned above? How many wrong on the science do I need to get a 33? </p>

<p>Thanks so much…I’m freaking out…</p>

<p>It was my first time too. The writing and math seemed easy, reading medium, but science seemed way harder than it should be.</p>

<p>I bombed the Science =/ hopefully there will be a good curve</p>

<p>What was the answer to the one that had a square with each side 5 length, and another one with 4 length and theres a slight overlap (shaded region)?</p>

<p>I put 3 (A).</p>

<p>It was one of the last 5. Number 57 or 59 i think</p>

<p>Also another math problem. It was a tax problem. Changing 7.1% to 8.0% for $200,000. Something like that. I put 0.01% because they rounded in the beginning of the problem. I got 0.023% exactly, but the rounding changed the answer up, so 0.1% wud be the next closest</p>

<p>What did you guys put? I remember there was a 0.9% in the answers if that helps clarify which question I am talking about.</p>

<p>

^the fact that you made an account just to post this, makes you the real tool.</p>

<p>I feel that I’m on the same boat. Practice tests have been at 31 but I doubt I even got a 26.</p>

<p>sanblast, I think people have agreed the answer was 0.9% Also, the area was 4 for that question. </p>

<p>Anyone remember the last 2 in Math? I put A and A I was really pushed for time.</p>

<p>^# 60 was A. I forgot about #59, though. I think it was the 4th choice.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember that reading passage about “Euro” games? One of the last questions, I was iffy about…something about how they were gaining popularity? One of the choices was “due to online gaming”, but I think I put “although many people haven’t heard of them” does anyone remember that one?..</p>

<p>I thought the gaming online choice was most agreeable with the question.</p>

<p>I think I chose the choice that talked about not many people knowing about it, but it still being popular. The online gaming choice, I thought, was irrelevant to the passage because I think it had to be related to that specific passage.</p>
