June ACT English Section

<p>Oh my goodness, that teeny-tiny one STUMPED me. At the VERY last second I switched it to reduced-sized…and then back to teeny-tiny, hahaha. I just hope when scoring it, it picks up the darker mark because my eraser was awful. That happened on like 2 or 3 problems. IT’S STRESSING ME OUT!</p>

<p>^ me too. I’m worried abt the “peoples” one and the “are” one picking up wrong :/</p>

<p>yeah teeny-tiny is too colloquial for the context of the passage, thats why it was unacceptable (thus, the answer)</p>

<p>So far I appear to be at a perfect, but I am not expecting that. I’m sure I made some stupid mistake or two during this section, although I really did seem to be at the top of my game this time. </p>

<p><em>crosses fingers I put “of course” in the transition about the therapy.</em> Of course I did, of course…</p>

<p>does anyone remember the sentence for the california’s peoples and the word that came after peoples?</p>

<p>What was the answer to the ending sentence of the Calcutta one? I said the thing about them all speaking Bengali because that was what the passage was about as a whole i thought…</p>

<p>oh sorry another question…i don’t know if this was answered but what was the answer to the “its” one? I wasn’t sure</p>

<p>what’d you guys say for the “My parents moved to Delhi, where Hindi was spoken” one?</p>

<p>No change? or was it “where people speak Hindi”?</p>

<p>i think omit was an option, and I put that because it had just said in the previous sentence that Hindi was spoken in Delhi</p>

<p>^ that’s right</p>

<p>no, it was the other way around. the sentence that the question was about was first, then the acknowledgement of Hindi was in the following sentence. i dont think you could omit it because otherwise its suddenly talking about adopting Hindi and it doesnt connect back…</p>

<p>I remember something about Hindi being mentioned at the beginning of the paragraph that this question was in, so I just said to omit it.</p>

<p>I specifically went back to the beginning to see if there was something about Hindi and the language at the beginning and there was. I’m 100% sure it was omit.</p>

<p>Has anyone ever heard of -1 being a 36? Also, does taking the test in June have more of an effect on scores than, say, taking it in September?</p>

<p>I also omitted that part.</p>

<p>^yeah, can -1 still be a 36? :(</p>

<p>By the way, how can anyone actually tell if -1 is a 35? What on the score report indicates that you missed only 1 not 2?</p>

<p>^ nothing does, haha. they just look at CC forums like this and assume the concensuses are correct (which they mostly are), and figure out how many they probably got wrong from that.</p>

<p>^ no, at least I don’t, I order the thing that tells you the answers on the tests and how many you got wrong. The thing also provides you with the curve for that specific test (that’s how I knew a -1 on the science last month was a 34). I forget the name of it, but you can still order it now. It’s $18.</p>

<p>Lol! The reason I asked is because I think most people base it off the subscores. Like if someone got a 35 with subscores of 17 and 18, the say “Well I must have only missed on question” or something like that. But it also possible to get perfect subscores but not a perfect overall score in that subject so it really isn’t possible to tell that -1 is automatically a 35 is it?</p>
