<p>I thought this test was alright over. it’s been a while since i took the test or any practice so the timing was the worst part of it for me. especially on the last part of the math T.T.</p>
<p>Anyways i was wondering what you guys put for the half way or equivalence point on the science section. that passage in general kinda confused me. which were you supposed to use?</p>
<p>Eh, alrighty. I don’t see why they’d want to change air resistance, though. It’s still present at higher altitudes, and will have a uniform, calculable effect on all bodies falling in the area (the results will be proportional, as well). Gravity can change bounce back height just as much as air resistance can!</p>
<p>PS-- The effect of gravity CAN change, guys ((GMm/r^2=Fg))</p>
<p>I think this question is so skewed that it doesn’t belong on the test. As you get further away from the center of the Earth, gravity decreases. Same goes for air pressure and thus air resistance. The thing is, when an object is dropped in free fall, if gravity is decreased, it will fall slower to the ground and thus have less force when it bounces up. However, when it bounces back up gravity will have less of a force on it, so it will go higher. If you can see where I’m going with this, the reduced gravity doesn’t really effect how how it bounces. Although this is all speculation, by no means am I a physics expert.</p>
<p>^yes, ethereal is corrrect</p>
<p>Only sections I legit ROCKED were Writing and English. My essay was just a work of art, I will be surprised if it is not perfect. Only thing about it was that it wasn’t 5 paragraphs, but 4. I’m hoping they won’t deduct points for that because in the prep booklet the example
“best” essay was four paragraphs also…</p>
<p>Anyway so on Math I started to panic on the last 10 questions and began sporadically bubbling. Several deep thought questions, almost on a par with SAT style math questions. Probably missed 5 to 7 questions. So like ~28-30 subscore for math.</p>
<p>Reading I messed up on timing, I got to the final passage, mangroves, and the lady called 5 minutes, so I didn’t read the passage at all and simply attempted to answer based off of looking back…<em>facepalm</em> fails everytime, but I had no choice. Did perfect on all other questions though, so I’m thinking, maybe -4-5 at most? Approx 30-32 subscore, pretty mediocre.</p>
<p>Science…oh science. I did fine on all passages except the physics ball one and the opposing viewpoints one, both due to time, frustration with unfamiliar physics terms, lack of reading the opposing viewpoints due to anger and blood and tears…by this section I was just furious at this ACT test. Anywho…probably -5. So 29-30 subscore. </p>
<p>Overall probably composite of 30, 31 if I am lucky…wow I am definitely going back to the SAT. This test sucks…doesn’t test any real capability, just the ability to answer stuff in 10 seconds and read passages in 5…</p>
<p>homogeneous = uniform solution, heterogeneous = doesn’t mix</p>
<p>yep, missed that one.</p>
<p>Back to the math problem about the rational number.
Zero is a rational number. However, when X is 0, the fraction does not exist.</p>
<p>I think the question said excluding zero, didn’t it?</p>
<p>I don’t remember the question saying it excluded 0, however, any rational number seemed to be the best fit. I don’t see why the answer would be a set number, like 2/3. The question said that the f(x) had to be rational, which means that x can = any rational number excluding 0. 2/3 fits but it isn’t the <em>only</em> number that results in a rational f(x). Maybe it did say excluding 0, that would make sense.</p>
<p>It depressing to think that -4 on the science could be a 30</p>
<p>@dfree124
But the question asks what x must be, not what x is.
However, I am not sure.</p>
<p>When we get our scores back, do we get a report of what we got right/wrong? Sorry for asking such a noobish question but I took the test for the first time today.</p>
<p>Anyone remember that English question that was either “rather than on” or “than on”? I put “rather than on” because it didn’t seem right without the “rather” in there. Can anyone confirm this?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Only of you ordered the test report (like 20 dollars extra). However, I don’t know if that was available for this test date.</p>
<p>Do you remember any other details about the “than on” question?</p>
<p>I did pretty well one the first, third and last reading, and guessed straight C’s on the second one… were there any C’s?</p>
<p>Were there different versions of this ACT? cause the questions I had in each section were completely different…</p>
<p>yea, there are different versions. I’m not sure but each time zone may get a different version, in order to reduce the amount of cheating. Most of the talk here is about form 71A, sorry if yours is different.</p>
<p>Hmm i could have sworn mine was 71A too…maybe I was wrong. It’s weird cause I usually have the same test everyone else on here has.</p>
