<p>aight i am trying to remember some random questions...</p>
<p>mellow dude feelin the ocean breeze passage:
- spiritual connection to the ocean was from his ancestors
- initial reaction was to observe his surroundings
- lightness = weightlessness (i think)
- peaceful but slightly uneasy</p>
<p>neanderthal reading passage:
- neanderthals were an intelligent and adaptable species that evolved from an earlier human species
- brain size and hand anatomy
- shea/shia (don't remember the spelling)
- modern humans did not initially move to colder and temperate climates</p>
<p>harriet tubman passage:
- larson's first book / coauthored (i put larson's first book but wasn't sure)
- authors sought new primary sources b.c of tubman's illiteracy</p>
<p>i don't remember what the other passage was! oh well. nothing's going to change now anyway.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the actual question was that everyone got 16a as the answer for? I don't remember getting that answer and I want to see what I did.</p>
<p>I said ethanol as well. For the Larson question, I said that the book was coauthored. (I think the sentence said "she and Larson blah blah blah." So I put that.)</p>
<p>In the English section, was there supposed to be a comma after the word (although) in the phrase "Although, something something something,?" Or was it supposed to be (without a comma after Although) "Although something something something,?" I guessed the latter because a comma after although seemed too much (i wish i could remember what the sentence said.)</p>
<p>Overall, I think I did okay:</p>
<p>English- Easy</p>
<p>Math- Surprisingly pretty easy (I couldn't use my calculator...I only have a TI-89...I didn't want to cheat or anything. BUT contrary to what most people may think, you CAN complete the math section without a calculator!! I was so proud of myself! :))</p>
<p>Reading: Easy...passages weren't that bad...time limit was crazy, but I finished with time to spare. (The Neanderthal passage seemed familiar...I think it was similar to a passage from October '07)</p>
<p>Science: Easy (Thank goodness for AP Bio!!) I just did not know the physics that well. But I think I did okay overall.</p>
<p>Essay: Really simple. (standard 5 paragraphs, thesis, 2 1/4 pages long, and I qualified the essay.) I got an 11 the last time I took it. I hope I got the same or a 12 this time!</p>
<p>I'm really pressing for a 30 or above (I would love a 33+, but that's probably just wishful thinking ;))</p>
<p>did anybody run out of time for reading? questions were so easy but im a slow reader so i didn't get to read the last passage. i guessed. is that REALLY bad?</p>
<p>I was beginning to read the harriet tub man passage (last one) and answered a couple of questions and ran out of time. I guessed on like the last 8
heyli: yes, that is really bad</p>
<p>Ionization energy wasn't on the test, I was using it as an example to what akitta said. You can have a term, and the ACT really just requires you that you've learned it in your science class. Then it gives you a #, and you have to know whether a higher # is good or bad(not all the time, but what the # means). I can tell what the # meant when I put the words high and low behind the word, but I was under pressure as I was not experienced to managing time on the Reading and Science sections. My goal for September is to finish those sections with at least 2 minutes left.</p>
<p>aight i am trying to remember some random questions...</p>
<p>math
- triangle area = 6
- repeating 1/7 decimal = 1
- 16a
- 48 was length of each side of square that had 9 circles inscribed in it
- 100 was the degree measure of the angle in the circle
- 5 +/- 3ai
- -ab - cd (matrices)
- p = a/(1 + rt)
- at .63 cents each, person x bought # of pencils (forgot)</p>

<p>i don't remember what the other passage was! oh well. nothing's going to change now anyway.</p>
<p>English: easy as always
Math: medium.. but math is not my forte.. I just hope I guessed right on those last 15 or so.
Reading: easy but the prose fiction threw me off
Science: I actually understood over half of the passages this time.. although I was confused about figuring out which mitosis stage was which and some blood type thing because I couldn't find anything in the background information/experiments that talked about those.
Essay: I decided not to take it this time. I probably should have though.</p>
<p>What was the length of the other base of the traphezoid?</p>
<p>yeah..english was easy, math was easy, reading was pretty easy, science was hard, because i did not manage my time properly and had to guess on the last 3-4 questions.</p>
