OFFICAL 10/22 ACT thread

<p>Anyone get "Meanwhile, there are always 2 or three customers ahead of the girl who got the haircut"
OR
"But she came to realize this place wasn't only used for haircutting, also for tools or some crap"</p>

<p>yeah, i got that princeton.</p>

<p>what were the choices?</p>

<p>yup, complascient</p>

<p>don' t u hate it when it change the right to the wrong answer? or when u bubble in the wrong answer? grrrrrrrrr</p>

<p>Hey, for this test did you guys get a lot of C or D No when it asks how a specific sentence should but squeezed into the rest of paragraph? A lot of those sentences seemed arbitrary.</p>

<p>If I got half right on the science section, what will i get? I never looked at an ACT before today and tottally underestimated the difficulty of science. If i get like 29-30 on all my other sections and crap on science how will it factor into college decsisions?</p>

<p>I know I got one wrong on the reading...which sucks because I got a perfect score last time. What about the question asking which scientists would argee with the barometer higher at 6am and 6pm question?</p>

<p>haha too bad i didn't even know there was a science section on the ACT! i bombed it.</p>

<p>anyone know when we get our results?</p>

<p>english was not too bad. math easier than i expected. the reading and the science sections killed me! i was on question 27ish on reading when the supervisor told us there was 5minutes left >.>.</p>

<p>"i but both for the 6am and 6pm</p>

<p>this is because the question referred to a difference in atmospheric pressure
both of them agree that atmospheric pressure is a key component in determining the height (it pushes the mercury in the tube upwards)</p>

<p>however A believed that gravity was the force to be counteracted (it pulled the mercury down)
and B believed it was the air pressure above the mercury (pushing it down)</p>

<p>the question referred to when there was a change in atmospheric pressure ... between the times - both would think it affected their results"</p>

<p>Agreed.</p>

<p>There was one part about Louis Pasteur and Jenner, where one of the following would be least acceptable:</p>

<p>a "although"
b. "still"
c. yet </p>

<p>or such.</p>

<p>the skiing question on math.... isn't it 28!!?!?!??!?!?! I don't think 27 was one of the choices.... was it?????</p>

<p>27 was a choice. i think it was actually 27.36. but doesn't matter because i'm stupid and put 19!!!!!</p>

<p>I put although</p>

<p>It was 27. The actual length of the unknown side of the triangle was around 13. Add 6 and 8 to that and you get 27.</p>

<p>"Although" is the correct answer. It's unacceptable because it created a sentence fragment.</p>

<p>i put 27! surely its right.</p>

<p>oh snaps...i remember choosing still as the answer</p>

<p>u see.. i got 14 as the unknown side of the triangle... and when u add 14, 6 and 8, u get 28.............. <em>sigh</em></p>

<p>The two given sides of the triangle were 8 and 6. That adds to 14.. and if the other side were 14, a triangle couldn't exist, because the longest side of any triangle must be shorter than the sum of the other two sides.</p>
