I picked the “separate storage facilities” answer. This was a very aggravating question.</p>
<p>Didnt that question have some element of “undisplayed art is kept in storage with blank, which can damage the art”.</p>
<p>it was environmental controls. The question specifically said: assuming the following are all true, blah blah</p>
<p>…question one on english. Was it countless or numbered? I put countless first then numbered -___-
so many first choices I changed, and they ended up right…</p>
<p>countless was right I’m afraid</p>
<p>The answer was environmental control because the question asked which of the following provide the best transition to the next sentence (or something like that) and the next sentence was about how one of the advantages of this new way of storage was it could properly control the temperature whereas the old way (the answer in the question) had poor temperature controls.</p>

I think the author was different because other immigrants wrote in their native language and he wrote in English.</p>
<p>^ Those are two different questions I think. He was different because he wrote in his native language but he was the same because he was away from his homeland (they were phrased differently)</p>
<p>Do you mean he was different because he didn’t write in his native language when Ezra Pound and others did? I agree with you on the second part about how they’re similar.</p>
<p>Anyone know if national test and international tests are different or not?
I checked the discussion pages up there, and I figured I couldn’t recognize most of them (I took it out of the US)…</p>
<p>What do you think of this line of reasoning:</p>
<p>Air pressure can be controlled in a lab at any altitude. Gravity can only be controlled by changing altitude. (I would think that controlling air resistance by locating a lab at high altitude may not be cost-effective. But then that’s economics.) If the goal is to measure the effect of insignificant (ideally, no) air resistance, there may be better experiment designs to do that. (For instance, in a vacuum.) So it seems more likely that they are testing the hypothesis about gravitational pull at different altitudes.</p>
<p>@spectralfish Yeah that’s what I meant he wrote in english rather than his native language.</p>
<p>fncdad that’s what I was thinking. Why would they move to a high altitude when they could just change the air pressure in a lab back home, at a lower altitude. I don’t even know how they would change the gravity other than by relocating further up. This question sucks.</p>
<p>Does anyone remember the question about why they washing the plants (science section)? Was it to remove extra debris so that it wouldn’t skew the mass?</p>
<p>@fncdad</p>
<p>Yup, I thought the exact same thing!</p>
<p>I wonder, is it possible to email the ACT peeps with that, and pray for the question to be thrown out/ease the curve? In my mind, it’s a clear argument, and actually requires more thought and knowledge than picking “air resistance.”</p>
<p>Oh and remember the passage about the biker? Does anyone remember the questions from that one? I had a mediocre time with that story and I can’t remember any questions… Just answers :/</p>

Maybe some of us could email them! Anonymously of course…</p>
<p>@mada and @pink: Unfortunately, I’m not sure if this is 100% true, but the ACT never throws out questions on a test unless there is a misprint in some of the booklets…And the curve is determined even before people take it…</p>
<p>On the dot triangle math question (the one with 1 subscript 64), I just typed that junk in my calculator, haha. 64 + 63 + 62 + 61… I got the highest answer choice, I believe it was 2080. I know it’s right though XD I feel like this test was easier than September’s, definitely. I finished every section with time to spare, and that’s never happened for me before. Before it’s asked, I’m a senior, and this is my seventh and final time taking the test.</p>
<p>I don’t think the answer to the actor passage in English was “countless.” Because the question asked about which word would best illustrate how FEW there were… Therefore, I put “numbered”.</p>
