<p>yeah, since when are geometry proofs on the ACt…?</p>
<p>^yeah i did some sorta complicated maneuvers on my calculator for that sector problem, and i ended up with 150. i think thats correct.</p>
<p>yeah, i mean i havent done proofs since 9th grade. i was surprised to see it on the test actually</p>
<p>me too. and same. luckily my review book i read the night before mentioned the theorems though! idk if i wouldve gotten it right (hopefully) if not…</p>
<p>Does anyone remember what the choice D was for the question with the LCD for 24, 18, and 64? I think I put E but I don’t remember clearly.</p>
<p>I just wanted to chime in on the whole GPA and ACT/SAT test scores discussion. In my opinion, I would definitely think that test scores are a good deal more important than a near perfect 4.0 GPA. Obviously it can’t be too low but the 3.7 mentioned I would think would be fine.</p>
<p>Cause here’s the thing, GPA is different for every school. It’s laughable that some students are getting 4.0’s in their schools when they aren’t the best students. Look around, every high school is different, there are killer hard ones, there are pathetic ones, but a 4.0 is a 4.0. A college can’t judge, “Oh, well so in so went to blah blah blah high school and that’s a notoriously harder school” or, “Oh well that’s a notoriously easy school, lets say that 4.0 GPA is more like a 3.8” no, all they have to go on is that GPA. </p>
<p>So this brings in standardized tests. We need them because GPA is such a variable. In addition, what brings prestige to colleges? What is the thing that we’ll all trying to get in order to get into these schools? Test scores. Test scores, (generally, we all know there are exceptions, more than I’d like to think probably), indicate the quality of the students attending the college. Higher score averages at schools make it harder for people to get into those schools, thus they have higher costs, recognition, etc. It’s those high scores that make the desirable colleges.</p>
<p>So in conclusion. I think test scores are at the top when it comes to where a student’s going to be accepted. Again, not saying GPA isn’t important, but as long as it isn’t abysmal, I think most any college would be wanting to have that student who scored a 35-36 composite to bring their score average for the school up. I think they could find it in themselves to forget the fact that a person has a 3.7 GPA in order to get a hold of that.</p>
<p>^i agree, i overheard some kid talking about having a 4.0(probably all normal level) and he got a 21 last time he took it.</p>
<p>i think gpa (for a kid with a hard course load) is way more important than test scores because gpa shows a student’s work ethic. the college will be able to see your schedule and all the ap classes your taking and having a 4.0 in that is really more important than scoring well on a stupid test (that truly just tests your reading ability, let’s be serious, this is joke math) and being lazy in school and having a low gpa.</p>
<p>on #37, where the answer was 37, WAS 37 the LARGEST answer? does anyone remember if it was D or E? E was larger than D. the question was about the red/blue/green</p>
<p>^it was the largest (and final) answer listed.</p>
<p>and i agree the GPA is important, but i’m not going to lie - my HS is hard! even on here, there are kids with 4.0s who just don’t seem up to par with the 4.0s at my HS. it’s a public school, but ranked 3rd in the state of MI. i honestly dont think i know anyone with a 4.0 unweighted. even the smartest kids i know (36 ACTs) have received A-s. that’s just the way my HS is. we have some teachers where its literally almost impossible to get that A. if i went to a lesser-quality school, im sure i’d have a 4.0. and i think my (hopefully) high ACT score this time around will demonstrate that i HAVE learned and i DO have a good work ethic. i’m taking the hardest classes available, and while i may have messed up a little freshman year (many Bs), i think i’ve redeemed myself since then.</p>
<p>No, I don’t agree with test scores holding more weight. Generally all AP students learn the same curriculum, and that’s for success on the AP exam. However, what may differ is the amount of homework one receives a night. I agree with liv4physicz, in that my HS is hard as well (This past year, I recieved generally 4 and a half hours of homework a night), and we’re the #1 ranked public high school in the state of Florida, both academically and athletically. In the class of 2011 we had 3 students going to Harvard, 2 going to Yale, 4 going to Brown, 2 going to Stanford, and 1 going to Princeton. Also, we had the #1 graduating athletic class for football (I’m the TC, however, class of 2012) in THE NATION! (Ranked my Rivals.com)</p>
<p>i dont know that they should hold more weight, but theyre more of an indicator of how much a student has actually learned. like many people say, it’s not about the grade; it’s about what you learned. if you do well on the ACT, you’ve proven you’ve learned and not just done everything right to get the A.</p>
<p>“Does anyone remember what the choice D was for the question with the LCM for 24, 18, and 64? I think I put E but I don’t remember clearly.”</p>
<p>Can someone please answer this for me?</p>
<p>I am about 85% sure that choice D was 432.</p>
<p>Ok, thanks!</p>
<p>actually, i think it was choice e. It was whatever the largest number is. because if you do it now, you’ll see that 432/64=6.75</p>
<p>Yeah, I think I chose 572. Also, do you guys remember what choice C was? Was it 382 (or something around that)?</p>
<p>Okay. Yeah I don’t remember the exact answer…but that sounds like what it was</p>
<p>For the question with the differently colored frisbees…yes i know it was a super easy question…but i didn’t get an answer choice the first time i solved it and i didn’t have enough time to try it again. was the answer 32? i got 31 the first time i tried it…so i just put 32 and moved on. I asked a few ppl at the test and it seemed like most people were thinking it was either 32 or 37</p>
<p>When will we get our scores back?</p>
