Form 68E Discussion

Test Preparation ACT Preparation
1

<p>I had the "purple" booklet, and everyone else in my test center had different booklets.
since everyone else on CC seems to be discussing the same test, it won't really help those who had different ones. So here's one for 68E!</p>

<p>OK, i'll start:</p>

<p>English-extremely easy
Math-extremely easy
Reading-killed me. for some reason, i ran out of time. I could blame it on the fungus passage, though.
Science-murder. I almost didn't get to the last section, and kinda ran out of steam at the end.
Essay-this one's the same, but I actually nailed it, me thinks.</p>

2

<p>Yep.. We seem to have determined that Ohioans all got different tests. I had 68F, a purplish bluish test.</p>

<p>I know I had an extremely hard math test, which I didn't finish.</p>

3

<p>hmm...interesting, they developed different shades of purple....</p>

4

<p>Apparently they developed a bunch of different shades, because my test room had basically every color of the rainbow represented. I wanted the hot pink one. :p</p>

5

<p>Ohio here also; had 68E. i prefer to think that the color was sort of maroon.</p>

<p>anyway i think i did well on every section except science. it killed me as well. it was SOOOOOOOOOOO hard.</p>

6

<p>no kidding! i didn't have time to go over the last section and guessed all of it. GAH!
Oh, and the reading was a lot harder than the Sept. test too, i think.</p>

7

<p>oh i actually felt pretty well about the reading. they were all at least somewhat interesting. except the damn mushroom one. </p>

<p>but the only science part i felt comfortable on was the first part abou the codons...something id actually learned in my joke-of-an-honors-biology-class. the rest was pretty much a foreign language</p>

8

<p>yea, the jargon was horrible. The mushroom one threw me off too. I wasn't expecting it, and I was already slim on time! The one about the kitchen god's wife by amy tan was pretty good, i've actually already read the book.</p>

9

<p>wait kitchen god? what? lol. for reading i liked the one about the architecture technology and stuff.</p>

<p>for math, what was the answer to the question about two triangles whose sides were in a ratio of 4 to 9 and the smaller one's hypotenuse 22?</p>

10

<p>The kitchen god one was the prose.</p>

<p>The math was a simple ratio of 4/9 to 22/x. cross multiply and you'd get 49.5 .
there was one math Q that i labored over. It was like #56 or smg, and it asked you to find what 'bc' is equal to.
do u know?</p>

11

<p>wow i dont even know what i was thinking for the triangle. lol. maybe i wasnt thinking. for the bc one, i think i put 20.</p>

12

<p>lol, me too. i spent the last 5 minutes going over it. good thing i had time to check over.
for the reading section, the one passage about mushrooms, where were the "rings" found? (i think it was like the 2nd to last question) Idk, i had to guess and i put 'c' down for the last four or five me thinks.</p>

13

<p>agh i dunno. sorry im of no help there</p>

14

<p>ahh i have a feeling my reading score's going down....
i had a 32 last time, and idk what to expect.</p>

15

<p>ah that sucks. i hope you do well though.</p>

<p>and what did you get for that question about g(f(x)) where some of the answer choices had imaginary numbers?</p>

16

<p>The answer where the roots were 1/2, 3/4, i and -i?</p>

<p>The answer was.. (4x-3)(2x-1)(x^2+1).</p>

17

<p>er....i don't remember that question, briguy.
are you sure the answers had imaginary numbers?
O__o</p>

18

<p>yuppers. it was a question relating to the picture of two functions on an xy plane. one of the questions asked what the distance from each vertex of the parabolas were.</p>

19

<p>could you guys post your tir for this test if you had one? please and thank you.</p>

20

<p>I’m willing to pay as much as you call.
Could I buy 68E from any of you?</p>
