June 2013 ACT Thread

<p>June 8th is the date. Any one took the sat subject test last week and are facing 2 standardized tests in 2 weeks? :D</p>

<p>Yep. My mind refuses to study any more. I’ve been on summer break since late May and I haven’t even gotten to enjoy much of it because I’ve had to study</p>

<p>I took subject tests last week! And now I get to take this test on Saturday! I’m still in school though so at least I’m still in study mode.</p>

<p>Yea I’m in the same boat w/ the subject tests last week. Anyone have any documents on grammar rules frequently tested on ACT?</p>

<p>In fact, the ACT has a special administration on June 2 only in Hong Kong.</p>

<p>So, yes, I took the SAT IIs and ACT in the same week.</p>

<p>Bleh. Poor you.</p>

<p>I wish everybody luck, I take it for the second time this Saturday too. Got a 21 last time -_- now sure how all of you get 30+</p>

<p>SAT subject tests last Saturday, Finals this week, ACT Saturday. Its a long week but at least when it is done I don’t have much going on to start my summer.</p>

<p>I take the ACT and then I have finals week.</p>

<p>Hi guys, I’m having trouble with this ACT Math question taken from the booklet “Preparing for ACT 2007-2008”</p>

<p>54) For a project… Kirk is making a tablecloth for a circular table 3 feet in diameter. The finished tablecloth needs to hang down 5 inches over the edge of the table, all the way around. To finish the edge of the tablecloth, Kirk will fold under and sew down 1 inch of the material all around the edge. Kirk is going to use a single piece of rectangular fabric that is 60 inches wide. </p>

<p>What is the shortest length of fabric, in inches, Kirk could use to make the tablecloth without putting any separate pieces of fabric together?</p>

<p>F.15
G.24
H.30
J.42
K.48</p>

<p>I do not understand what the question means but from my assumption of the question, I got J. The answer is K.</p>

<p>Anyone knows how to solve this? An illustration of what the question means would help.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>@loltherock</p>

<p>The diameter of the cloth must be 3 feet (36 inches) PLUS 12 inches (6 inches on either side - 5 which will be hanging from the table, 1 which will be folded under).</p>

<p>36 + 12 = 48.</p>

<p>Since Kirk isn’t putting separate pieces of fabric together, the length can’t be any shorter than the diameter, so 48 is the answer.</p>

<p>Does that make sense?</p>

<p>This is my first time taking the ACT and just last saturday I took the SAT. I don’t know how much more I can study :confused: I took a practice test and did worse on it than I did the first time! :(</p>

<p>15 hours everyone!</p>

<p>ACT this weekend and then finals starting Tuesday… ugh :(</p>

<p>Also this will probably be my last ACT test as I’m a junior. I scored 33 on my previous one so I hope I can improve on my last try!</p>

<p>Praying for an ACT miracle</p>

<p>I haven’t gotten a chance to study due to finals hoping the test is easy tomorrow</p>

<p>I’ve done a bit of studying, but I feel confident, so I haven’t done much. I did like one full practice test, which I got a 34 on, and then a few math sections.</p>

<p>I’m doing writing, which I haven’t practiced for. I’m awesome at AP Lang argumentative essays, so it should be easy.</p>

<p>been practicing this past week and have gotten a 36 on all the sections but a 35 on science as my highest. kinda more confident. I really want the 34+ since my past two have been 33s. I wish good luck to everyone and hopefully we have a generous curve coming our way. btw the 1296 ACT book is the best.</p>

<p>The test will start in about 11.5 hours. Good luck to all of you, and may the curves be ever in your favor.</p>

<p>Finished the test.</p>

<p>Good luck to those taking it later.</p>
