<p>What did the second explanation say?</p>
<p>the problem said that Th underwent beta decay. therefore it changes the element.</p>
<p>uhh im pretty sure beta decay only does stuff with electrons.</p>
<p>only alpha decay can change the element.</p>
<p>Wait, which question are we talking about?</p>
<p>Eh, I'll just wait for scores. This ain't gonna be pretty.</p>
<p>doesn't seem like many people made it to the last section, which was pure physics :P</p>
<p>i got to it. I thought the physics was a piece of cake, and i havent taken physics. Im pretty sure pretty much that whole section was, can you read the graph and make predictions.</p>
<p>For the Th problem, it keeps the same atomic mass, 234, and gains a proton, making it P 234/91.</p>
<p>Another answer was concerning something going to uranium 235. The answer to that is alpha decay because it lowers the atomic number.</p>
<p>Someone needs to start a "I was a Victim of October ACT Science Rape" group on facebook!</p>
<p>There is a facebook group already, "I was raped by test form 67A"</p>
<p>Is there some kind of feedback that we can send to ACT? Maybe if a few million people say it was way harder than normal they'll do something</p>
<p>Holy crap! That was my test! I don't feel so "special" anymore!</p>
<p>hey BIGTWIX, what did you get for the answer with the D/ R/ whatever? haha i completely guessed on that one. (i think it was the very last one)</p>
<p>I got 65K, I think.</p>
<p>anyone that finished, <em>*. I know no one that finished. I repeat, no one. Like those who got 33s their first time even said it was ridiculously hard. That enviromental science one sucked. Peat? Bogs? Swamps? *</em> come on. That tested nothing but how fast you can go lol</p>
<p>Great, so what I'm hearing is that the last section of science, the part that no one got to, was relatively simple? Great. I was thinking "I don't remember any physics stuff," but then I remembered filling in like 10 answers in about three seconds before the proctor called time. Once again, great.</p>
<p>hahaha my ap physics teacher was my proctor. i wish i woulda known the last section was physics, would have been cake. I totally agree, ive dominated in every single science ive taken in high school, and science will easily be my worst section (unless i guessed all right lol). </p>
<p>It wasn't even that it was hard, it was that the time was impossible. I remmeber at number 17, i had about 15 minutes left. i was like omfg, cause there was like 4 more passages(graphs, w/e they're called) to digest</p>
<p>yeah i know of no one that finished the science...</p>
<p>Ya me too. Ive known of some people (who, no offense to them, are not the smartest ones, so i think they guessed alot). Those who i expected to do well (who are like applying to Harvard and have gotten 33s already) said that it was impossibly hard. One can only hope for a unbelievable curve.</p>
<p>I finished ;)</p>
<p>It was easier than the June one, for sure.</p>
<p>Curve baby curve...disco inferno!</p>
<p>Okay, by the sound of it I didn't understand the particle decay section after all. Crap.</p>
