<p>^i dont remember the “are” question…care to refresh my memory?</p>
<p>and it asked which choice expressed the landscape’s uniqueness/visual excitement best.</p>
<p>what’d you guys say for the question asking whether or not the info about how the teens were recruited to paint the murals? i said to keep it, because it says why the teens were doing it. anyone else?</p>
<p>yeah, i wasnt sure, but then the next sentence started talking about it being a genetic disease, so i thought it was a better way to compare males to females and was kind of like a transition into the genetics aspect</p>
<p>no, i think the horseback riding patient positions WAS necessary. act loves to add in specific details to enhance essays, it seems.</p>
<p>@liv4physicz i said to keep it, is that the choice that said it explained how they got involved? thats what i put i believe.</p>
<p>and yeah i said that the positions were necessary as well</p>
<p>@liv4physicz</p>
<p>Yeah but what through me off was the explanations for keeping the details/leaving them out. The one for leaving out the details said something along the lines of “because it detracts from the main idea of the essay” which I thought made sense because the specific positions did not add any meaning to the essay as a whole. But I understand why being specific is good too.</p>
<p>The are one, I think we previously established it was right. It said something like:</p>
<p>5% of men are color-blind while only .4% of women are.</p>
<p>I also said keep the kids because it stated why they were there. For the mural visuals I said no change I think.</p>
<p>volleyball: yep, thats what i said. 'cause otherwise it doesnt really say how the teens ended up there. and the other reasoning for the “no” answer (not to delete it) was because “it was mentioned earlier in the paragraph,” which it wasnt…</p>
<p>For the “are” question, I originally had to keep it, but I also felt that it was too abrupt to suddenly talk about in the next sentence how it made sense genetically that men were more susceptible to colorblindness before even establishing that colorblindness is hereditary.</p>
<p>^yeah it definitely was not mentioned earlier in the paragraph, so i think i got the same thing as you!</p>
<p>“5% of men are color-blind while only .4% of women are”.</p>
<p>thanks jalli, YES thats what i put. adding the stuff at the end is redundant/wordy!</p>
<p>@ajeck513 i agree, it didnt make much sense without stating that. and i feel that although many people would use just “are” normally, i think that the ACT would more likely want the answer that said something about genetics…i could be wrong though</p>
<p>do you guys remember in some passage, a statement that used “they” when the “they” couldve referred to either party, so you ended up replacing it with the specific noun (not pronoun)? …or was that just on a practice test i took earlier?</p>
<p>wait, what exactly did the genetics comment say? someone jog my memory haha, yesterday morning seems so long ago</p>
<p>@JalliDalli, there better be a lenient curve, I mean if CCers found the test difficult, then there is a problem. If the test doesn’t have a lenient curve, then I’m on the next flight out to Iowa, and having a little chat with you know who.</p>
<p>hahahahaha</p>
<p>The practice tests in the ACT red book seemed like a walk in the park compared to this June ACT. In the red book I was constantly receiving a 36, but on the June test, well we all know where that one went.</p>
<p>Does anyone else feel the same way? That the OFFICIAL tests in the red book seemed WAY EASIER than the June test.</p>
<p>@liv4physicz
i dont remember that question, but i agree, the test seems so long ago that i am having trouble remembering a lot of the questions. </p>
<p>as for the genetic option, i dont clearly remember the wording haha</p>
<p>^Stanford, what exactly did you find hard?</p>
<p>this test was definitely WAY more challenging than any other ACT that I have ever seen. so there better be a lenient curve, and the one in september better be a lot easier. but i really dont want to wait that long to improve my score…:(</p>
