<p>"For the passage about Ray Bradbury, what was the answer to the question asking whether he struggled to find the meaning of words to him or he often discarded words that were not conductive to meaningful writing?</p>

<p>And in the Bombay passage was the city a metaphor or was it personification?</p>

<p>I’m like 99% sure he struggled to find meaning. Idk but based on the image of Bradbury I got from the passage, I don’t think he would “discard” words that he didn’t like; rather, he would struggle to work with them until he came up with stories. But that question sort of threw me off</p>

<p>& personification</p>

162

<p>That was a harder test… The math was a lot harder than expected… Anyone agree? </p>

163

<p>so that test difficulty wasn’t the norm? might actually retake it then</p>

<p>does the SAT/ACT study prep material help on both tests?</p>

164

<p>no he didn’t struggle to find meaning because that would be like what he did when he was a young writer. Trying to pound ideas in to his head. </p>

165

<p>Hey could you guys explain what was up with test 5? Our director person didn’t say anything, just that we had 20 mins. I don’t remember doing that the first time.</p>

166

<p>was test 5 only for ppl with no wirting section??</p>

167

<p>we didnt have to do the test 5…</p>

168

<p>what happened to the google doc</p>

169

<p>i think someone will keep wiping the google doc until at least everyone’s taken the test. west coast kids still have two hours to go.</p>

<p>or someone’s just being an ■■■■■■■. one or the other.</p>

170

<p>anonymous elephant deleted everything</p>

171

<p>the 20 question part 5 won’t affect your score, its just something new they’re testing</p>

<p>kinda like being a beta tester. my guess is they are trying different types of wording in problems or something</p>

<p>and anonymous ELEPHANT keeps deleting the google doc, so if whoever made it can ban him that’d be fantastic</p>

172

<p>Does anyone know if my test will be different? Because of my disease I have special testing for the ACT. I can take it over a period of 3 weeks and I can schedule my tests however I want. Will be test be different from this one? I would think so but I don’t know…help?</p>

173

<p>Wow I’m glad that doesn’t effect the score. Thanks for the info.</p>

174

<p>Also the last question for the Mount Fuji passage was about whether this could be interpreted about a story of facing difficulties, what did you guys get for that? I feel like none of the answers really worked</p>

175

<p>So do you guys think that the curve will be more favorable this time? It seems like many found the exam difficult. </p>

176

<p>yeah it was cuz it showed challenges that they had</p>

177

<p>@akrupinski‌ I struggled with that one. I finally put “agree because it mentioned various difficulties they faced”.</p>

<p>Having to wear heavy clothes, attaching flash lights to thsemselves, only being able to move a few steps at a time, the trek taking an entire day effectively, etc.</p>

<p>The passage didn’t really emphasize any of it as struggles/difficulties, but it kinda had to be inferred I thought</p>

178

<p>Can someone answer my question? I’m not sure if my exam will be the same as you guys</p>

179

<p>The curve better be good. Def retaking in september</p>

180

<p>@IlariaCaelestis‌ I have no idea to help you, sorry. I’ve never spoken to anyone who had any special testing. </p>

<p>Best of luck</p>
