October 22 2011 ACT Math Discush

<p>@21to36 - dude, I thought that too! weird -_-</p>

<p>Math didn’t seem as hard for me this time. I’m hoping for a 27-30 :)</p>

<p>I’m crossing my fingers for a 30 composite score. That’s the average score for my first-choice college.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what number the problem with the “sum of two angles” question was?
It had the wierd shape inside</p>

<p>What if you mess up bubbling by one problem, does the ACT have a manual regrade?</p>

<p>@gsfan: this should answer your question: [ACT</a> FAQ : I don’t think my test was scored correctly. Can I have it hand-scored?](<a href=“http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/handscore.html]ACT”>http://www.actstudent.org/faq/answers/handscore.html)</p>

<p>gsfan the answer to that one was 45</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what PROBLEM number it was? Not the answer? I think I messed up bubbling from that problem to number 40. Absolutely great. :(</p>

<p>Does anyone remember how close these two problems were on the test?</p>

<ol>
<li>One was the circle with the weird shapes inside asking for the angle (approx. what number was this?)</li>
<li>One was the triangle on the coordinate plane with the circle inscribed and it asked for the center (answer was 4,3 or something) ← this was number 41</li>
</ol>

<p>Will someone please tell me? I’m freaking out lol</p>

<p>what was the answer to the investment problem? it was a #9 -___-
and for the rational one i think it was rational because i put 1 out of haste but the fractions would’ve worked as well…</p>

<p>yanks i think the rational one was x has to be rational. Both fractions would result in rational numbers but x could be any rational number for f(x) to be rational.</p>

<p>yeah i should have known that, that was just careless…but thanks…the others everybody has posted sounds right…and the other question was a #9 where it asked for the value of her investment that was a 100 shares or something…I don’t know why that gave me trouble but I had to put down an answer and move on…what was the answer to that one if anybody remembers?</p>

<p>For the investment one, she had 100 shares at $5 a piece to begin with. They went up .10 so it was 5.10. Then, they dropped by .08, so it became 5.02 a piece. Finally, they increased by .03. Therefore, the answer was 5.05x100 = $505. Correct me if I’m wrong?</p>

<p>i got 505 too</p>

<p>Okay, cool. I thought I misread the question or something. This ACT Math section was a little bit trickier than last month’s. Last month, I got a 36 on Math with about 12 minutes left over, but yesterday I only had five minutes left as well as a few problems that I thought I misread.</p>

<p>I thought it wasn’t too bad. I just forgot the equation for the sum of an arithmetic sequence >.<</p>

<p>I had the equation but I still just added them all up just to be sure >.> It was 2080, correct?</p>

<p>yep, I suppose I could’ve just put the values into a table on my calc and quad regressioned it… oh well. I guessed one of the 2000s on that one, there’s still hope for a 36.</p>

<p>I thought this month’s math was incredibly hard. There goes my chance of getting a 36 math like I was hoping for.</p>

<p>Yeah i thought the math was harder too. I never missed more than 3 in math on the Real ACT pracrice tests… But i’ve already found out that i missed, at the least, five so far :s</p>
