June 14 2014 ACT Discussion

<p>@IlariaCaelestis‌ sorry I dont know for sure, but it cant be too different, the difficulty has to be the same. It was probably just a different form! Try to see if the questions on this forum look familiar and if they do then you probably did!</p>

<p>Ergh… Really want a 32, but today probably wasn’t the day. I feel like I did alright on English and math (although it was much harder than the ones I’ve taken in the past), but like always, I struggled on reading (the humanities passage threw me off and I did badly on pacing). Science was meh. </p>

<p>I’m guessing by the consensus on here that the math and possibly reading will be the most favorable scales. How did everyone else feel about reading and what’s everyone’s opinion on the scales?</p>

<p>What was the reading one about photography…did he wanna get out of it or do photography of street things. It was in bombay passage</p>

<p>@VaishS‌ I haven’t taken it yet. I take it two weeks from now. I have till July 6 to finish. Do you think it would be different! </p>

<p>Was there a math question at the end about the parallelogram? The base was 11 and height was 6. You just multiply them right…? lol 66? anyone?</p>

<p>@IlariaCaelestis sorry dont know enough to be sure but they may since they know kids talk abt it :frowning: sorry</p>

<p>@nls9797 he wanted to portray Bombay from the streets. It was like the 2nd or 3rd to last paragraph that talked about all the famous photographers. One guy did sky pieces, another did still portraits of the scene, and the very end of the paragraph talked about the narrator wanting to portray the specific people (boy in the street, belt wearing person, etc)</p>

<p>tldr; portray bombay from the streets (answer D I believe)</p>

<p>@Drewp24‌ I thought math for sure and science was hard to me</p>

<p>@candy54321‌ for some reason I put 88 for that question, think I must have read it as 11 x 8 :(</p>

<p>@nls9797 do photography of street things</p>

<p>@IlariaCaelestis You’ll probably get a different test. I highly doubt that the ACT would give you the same one. </p>

<p>I thought the math on this was WAY easier than normal (2 wrong = 34) but the reading (particularly the passage with the ants) was harder than normal.</p>

<p>I think I did fine on math/science/reading, but I probably bombed the English section. It doesn’t really matter too much for me because I was happy with my SAT score and really just took this test for the hell of it, but it would be nice to have a high ACT score as well. </p>

<p>I’ll prep for the English section over the summer and retake the ACT in September if I’m not happy with my SAT II scores.</p>

<p>@nickster322 where di you get the 8 from? I’m a little paranoid that question was too easy. </p>

<p>@candy54321 Yea it was 66, </p>

<p>Did anyone else put x = 6.5 for their answer to the one about the vertical line splitting the trapezoid?</p>

<p>Oh, and on the shaded circle one I got y < -x +2 and (x-2) ^ 2 + (y-1) ^ 2 < 9 but I wasnt very sure on that one</p>

<p>@candy54321 not sure, I just remember putting 88 and that my reasoning was 11 x 8. There’s a good chance it was a 6 though, I was really flustered on math ;/</p>

<p>@unathleticasian I didn’t get to the x=6.5 one (just guessed) but according to the google docs we have going. x=6.5 was correct</p>

<p>for the shaded circle I got the same answer as you, but not sure why</p>

<p>That question where it asked where to put this sentence about how the artists made each pot uniquely, where did you put it? The only 2 logical answers were the last sentence of the paragraph or after sentence 2 of the paragraph.</p>

<p>i did after setence 2, not sure if that was right </p>

<p>32 i hope plz</p>
