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

<p>^ I said something along the lines of filmmaker had more responsibilities/more involvement or something.</p>

<p>It seemed as though the Reading section had far more pull-it-straight-from-the-passage questions than the SAT.</p>

<p>Was the answer to the science question about the units on R “R has no units”</p>

<p>@ silverturtle </p>

<p>The ACT is pretty much majority right-there questions with a few easy inferences. The only thing that makes it hard is the time limit.</p>

<p>I agree with Swimfan on the r1 r2 problem. Tan of angleABC = (r1)/(r1+r2). tan of the other angle was (r2)/(r1+r2). Subtract the latter from the former and you would get (r1-r2)/(r1+r2) because of common denominator .</p>

<p>And I chose the same answer as cribelle on the filmmaker vs. director question</p>

<p>Also, I noticed that the Reading section repeatedly mis-modified gerunds in their answer options.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yep, it did.</p>

<p>What did everyone get on the abs(x) less than or equal to x on the math?</p>

<p>I found a grammatical error in the English section (didn’t have to do with answers though). I was shocked!</p>

<p>@Kanan57</p>

<p>I got everything to the right of zero on the number line (all positive numbers) and zero as shaded.</p>

<p>^Lol, looks like you had high expectations.</p>

<p>What did everyone get on the abs(x) less than or equal to x on the math? </p>

<p>^ The one with all positives & 0.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Was this (E)? I believe I selected that.</p>

<p>Contradicting replies XD I chose the same thing as cribelle (again :P) But that one was really bugging me. I wonder if our precalc teacher should have gone over inequalities with us, hahahaha</p>

<p>Edit: Okies then :slight_smile: I had changed my answer to E at the last second ^^ Thank goodness</p>

<h2>ENGLISH</h2>

<p>MATH
Ellipse question— first choice x^2/169 + y^2/25 = 1?
Car with a 15 gallon tank filled twice@ 32 mph—960 miles
abs(x) less than or equal to x—??</p>

<h2>Last question - two circles and asking what the tan of one angle-- (r1-r2)/(r1+r2)</h2>

<p>READING
(*)Little Girl Moving
Dad was excited to leave, mom and girl need reassurance
Geared was her friend
They were moving to a more affluent neighborhood</p>

<p>(<em>)Scientists and Anthropomorphism

It’s hard to work with actors

Actors always “Are” because they have the Indian experience </p>

<h2>(*)Tree</h2>

<p>SCIENCE
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</p>

<p>What about the dark matter question about visible matter. Most of the answers started with “Visible matter is the most abundant but…”</p>

<p>^ can we decide what the number line one was? less than 0?</p>

<p>I believe the number line was greater or equal to zero</p>

<p>Anyone know the answer to the one about pushups per week.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I believe I put 5w+20.</p>

<p>Push-ups per week was 5w+20 because 20 is the initial amount and he does 5 more every week. I think that was the second choice? Not sure.</p>
