Illinois ACT Thread. Silverturtle, want to help get a full list? = D

<p>English:</p>

<p>elude or allude? i put elude</p>

<p>and there was a quesstion about a guy’s last name that ended with an s. I can’t remember the exact name, so let’s say it was “Phillips”. if “phillips” is in possesion of something, is it “phillips’ " or phillips’s”? i put "phillips’ " </p>

<p>someone plz answer… I’m looking at you silverturtle ;)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, I heard this as well. I cannot comment on its validity, though.</p>

<p>And good luck everyone!! Ohh and also, is it true that the curve for PSAE ACT is more generous than most? Someone told me that and I wasn’t sure if it was just rumor. </p>

<p>^ It’d be nice if that was true. xD</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>“elude” is correct. “allude to” means to indirectly refer to.</p>

<p>Elude, because elude means to avoid. Allude means to refer.</p>

<p>Also around that area on the passage was there an answer that was Nevertheless? I can’t remember xD</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>The only name that I recall requiring punctuation was “Cackerell” or something like that. I don’t recall there being an “s” at the end of a name, though several students at my school recall a situation similar to what you cite. Maybe I misread something.</p>

<p>^ That is what I remember as well. Were there honestly different forms? I have never heard of different forms on an ACT. Then again more ppl are taking it today than any other day…</p>

<p>@johnk2011 the answer was “conkerell’s.” Don’t know if the last name is correct but it was definitely singular possessive.</p>

<p>I’m feeling reasonably confident on everything but math… From what has been discussed so far I think I have 3 or 4 wrong… eek!</p>

<p>^^ agree. </p>

<p>^ = ( you still have a chance for a 35.</p>

<p>I’ll be satisfied with any 30 to be honest… I actually went into the test pretty sick… whether I have allergies or just got a cold, I don’t know, but hopefully I’ll be better prepared and 100% in terms of health when I take it again in June.</p>

<p>For all you Illinoisians out there, the ACT DOES impact your PSAE score. The score that shows up on your transcript is the culmination of the 2 days of testing.</p>

<p>Here’s a link.</p>

<p>olleger,</p>

<p>The following is from the “Questions and Answers for Parents of Illinois Students” pamphlet published by the Illinois State Board of Education:</p>

<p>I really don’t mind if my ACT score affects my PSAE score, as long as it’s not the other way around >__<</p>

Last question - two circles and asking what the tan of one angle-- (r1-r2)/(r1+r2)

Enclosed area for inequalities: semicircle and diameter
Must be point 2 units from A and 3 units from B

area of shape that looked like a house: 24+2sqrt(41)
Spiderweb divided into 12— 30 degrees
-1-cos^2 = ? The answer was sin^2.

<p>Reading</p>

<p>(*)Little Girl Moving
Dad was excited to leave, mom and girl were reluctant
Gerard was her friend
They were moving to a more affluent neighborhood
Soothing but she did not understand what her father was reading to her
Leather chair was most significant as a symbol
Role as friend’s protector was ironic</p>

<p>(*)Scientists and Anthropomorphism
the animals bit them because they were being handled</p>

<p>(*)Native American Filmmaker
Directors have a narrower focus
It’s hard to work with actors
Uses typical shots because the audience needs to understand
Actors always “Are” because they have the Indian experience
Filmmaker was not ogolulu (his wife was)</p>

<p>(*)Tree
the sequoia grew 100 times faster
“Neighbor” means another tree in the forest
trees in lusher environments are more likely to get diseases</p>

<p>Science</p>

<p>Star X has 16 times brighter than Y temp = 5k and what is the temp of Y? 10k
Relationship q–There is a certain amount of visible matter, it is less than all matter in world
R is a ratio, it has no units
acids and bases, the answer was II and III (baking soda and lye)
You can’t distinguish fructose from sucrose
Empirical formula was C27 H30 O6
L had a lower wrong turn rate than l. The allele causes more wrong turns so the maze-bright mice must have had a higher count of whatever

<p>Silver, thought the ACT isn’t directly stated, the PSAE SCORE is the combination of your ACT score and your work keys test. It is all explained on the link I posted, that was posted by PSAE.</p>

<p>^ Yes, but I thought that what I posted was helpful for clarification purposes.</p>

<p>It’s kind of strange looking at this thread. If I hadn’t moved, I would have been posting all over this thread.</p>

<p>What scores are you guys hoping for?</p>

<p>36.</p>

<p>lol = D</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>As long as I get “Meets Expectations” for each section of the PSAE overall, I’ll be content.</p>
