***OCTOBER 2015 ACT DISCUSSION THREAD***

LOL our anxiety for scores turned into a homework help session :))

omg so i just logged into my ACT account and i screamed cause i thought my score came out but it was september L O L g o od byE

I was hoping I was wrong when I guessed trig because I suck at it. well, not that bad but compared to everything else its pretty bad. I go to a small school with a bunch of retards so but when I have to tutor people i trig it makes me feel retarded trying to explain it.

I’m a Senior also and I run out of time in every exam that I had taken. So, Maybe it’s because Engish isn’t my first language. Anyway, good luck for everybody.

@SugarSmarts what did you get.

@songmino
:(( :)) that is simultaneously awful and hilarious

@DaPueo if you’re not that great at trig and you still have extra time to sit for the SAT, I’d strongly recommend that you do - SAT has no trig at all and focuses on logic or simple concepts. If you’re EA/ED/aren’t confident that you can camp down and study in the upcoming weeks, just stick with whatever you get on this ACT and polish other aspects of your app

I have literally not had time to study for any of my standarized tests

35 :slight_smile:

@picuberoot YOU GOT YOUR SCORE??
(congrats ugh im so jealous)

@songmino no omg. I meant that as 35 MINUTES REMAINING! I wish I got a 35 though!!

I drew the unit circle
then I decided sin(x) must just mean SOH, so the .4 is opposite/hypotenuse
then I made my triangle so the hypotenuse was always 1 (which is every time since it’s the radius anyways) and the y value always .4
then I guess you can use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the other side (x) and then you can figure out the angle based on where I drew the triangle…?
Idk does that sound right
@DaPueo

@polarknut Family of seven with a disabled parent and a income of 20K, I do a lot of EC’s and I have to work so I tuor at school, do yardwork and work at a restaurant so I dont have time to study.

@picuberoot that was the biggest heart attack ever. I am dead

L O L o goOdbye
idk im so anxious right now i cant think straight
you almost gave me a heart attack omg

listen to Alexander Hamilton (the musical) soundtrack on youtube while waiting!

@polarknut sorry I scared you guys! :)) Hope that jolted all of you awake though!

@DaPueo I’d honestly say you’re fine. Hopefully you took up the chance with QuestBridge and applied with them, but if not, you’re still fine. Best of luck in the admissions process!

great musical!

Best of luck to you!! :slight_smile:
