October 2010 ACT Science Thread

<p>@WongTongTong: Yes, that’s what I put for both of those.</p>

<p>I guessed on a lot as well…like the last passage–I didnt even get to look at what it was about. I just randomly filled in answers because time was almost over and i went to try to answer them for real and wasnt able to because time expired.</p>

<p>Anyone remember the Chicken Genetics Question? From what I understand, it had something to do about rose combs. I don’t need the answer, I just want to know what the question was about.</p>

<p>ETA-- Oh, go figure. It’s a whole stinking passage on chicken genetics.</p>

<p>Well, bar misbubbling possiblities, I’d say I got a 36 on science.</p>

<p>This section was much more difficult than in the past, but once you got past the wordiness and confusion, it was relatively easy.</p>

<p>For the 2 questions back to back in the last experiment with carbonate that dealed with assumptions. Didn’t they both essentially ask the same thing?</p>

<p>In the voltage capacitor passage, did anyone remember 2 questions that asked the exact same thing (and had the same answer)? The answer was like “increased only” for both of them. The first time it was asked simply, but then the second time it told you to look at Study 1 Table 2 but essentially asked the same thing. Anyone remember this?</p>

<p>Yes socceryan…I think the were both increasing…well that’s what I put anyways lol :/</p>

<p>Geez, this was an unusually hard Science portion this time around.</p>

<p>@Scocer Ryan-</p>

<p>Yes, the first time ,Q, the charge increased as the capacitor was getting charged. At 0 sec, the Capacitor was uncharged. Then, when it was getting uncharged in the second time, they were measuring amperes, or current.</p>

<p>CV = Q </p>

<p>So Current and Voltage are inversely proportional, so when it was being charged, the Q went up so the Voltage increased.</p>

<p>When it was being uncharged, the Current decreased so the Charge decreased.</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the 2nd question?</p>

<p>At the end I put that the capacitor was fully uncharged.</p>

<p>That’s what I put anyway, I am currently taking AP Physics and we havent gotten to capacitors and resistors yet…so I’m not sure.</p>

<p>Anyone else? </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>also, in the second time, it said as done in Study 2, and it told you to refer to Study 1 Table 2</p>

<p>^ great website for that question</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question that said that “the reason the terraces were in the same mountainous regions was to have which variable as similar as possible” or something like that? I put climate because all the terraces in the mountainous region were in all the same altitude. So climate works no?</p>

<p>The answer was definitely climate.</p>

<p>last 6 questions:</p>

<p>C A C B A C</p>

<p>YES!?!?!? PLEASE SOMEONE VERIFY THIS</p>

<p>…
No one remembers the letters lol…</p>

<p>^^^agreed, I don’t usually memorize them…</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what letters they put for the first 3 questions. Was it something like A, A, A? or B B B… I think I bubbled 3 in a row?</p>

<p>the first 3 were a a a</p>

<p>Yay! I got the first 3 right lol. I put A A A for sure.</p>

<p>^Im not sure what I put for the first 3 but I know I got them right.</p>
