OFFICAL 10/22 ACT thread

<p>do u guys think the ACT grading scale for math would be a little flexible... of all tests I've taken, this math test was the most difficult.. a lot of them required more time and thought.... especiallly the last few.... </p>

<p>What did everyone get for the complex numbers with imaginary for x-axis and real # for the y-axis?</p>

<p>also, how about the book problem? something about the school by 186 books... 250 students and wanting to buy 5% more than required... and that for every student, there must be 4 books..</p>

<p>also, how about the book problem? something about the school <em>buying</em> 186 books... 250 students.... and wanting to buy 5% more than required... and that for every student, there must be 4 books.. </p>

<p>I think it was eight hundred something...</p>

<p>the pineapple passage in science was a pain in the buttt!!!!!!! half the stuff didn't make sense ... but what was worse was the passage with the dumb bars and the years.. (1985, 1945, and some other stuff)</p>

<p>for that x.y coordinate one it got</p>

<p>(a+b)+(c+d)i</p>

<p>or something along that lines. I added the two.</p>

<p>i am not sure though....</p>

<p>what about expanding the 3a^2 + something expression?</p>

<p>Im positive it was an inscribed angle, I spent waaay to much time on that question.</p>

<p>It was 4 books per student and 250 students. The total would be 1000 books, and 1000 multiplied by 1.05 resulted in the desired total of books. Then you have to subtract 183 from that total to get the answer.</p>

<p>what about the very last one on the english section??</p>

<p>i put something like they supported the young painters in florida by teaching them or something like that</p>

<p>the books one was like 1050 i think
because you had to multiply 4 books per student and they had like 250 students</p>

<p>and then you had to take 5% of that which was 50, hence 1050</p>

<p>I think i put (a+b)+(c+d)i also... or atleast along that line... </p>

<p>Ivy, can u elaborate on that question?</p>

<p>i don't see how you got that...they wanted to have 5% more books than required, and the required was 4 per student</p>

<p>4*250=1000</p>

<p>1000 required</p>

<p>5% of a 1000=50</p>

<p>1000+50=1050</p>

<p>am i missing something here?</p>

<p>I remember figuring out the book one, it was one of the last one's I did, I multipled the number of books needed of the number of students by 105% and subtracted what they were ordering for what they already had...Can't remember exactly which answer it was though. </p>

<p>I had to randomly guess on the last 4, didn't have enough time to do "em. </p>

<p>Also guessed on the pineapple, it looked like a pain so I mostly bubbled random answers and did the one's that I could do...Science is a pain, I can get the answers right in about 1 min 15 sec, and you have like 45 seconds for each one...It was easier then it was in May though.</p>

<p>o o o o o o how about that one with the rectangle reflecting for the y-axis, and it asked for the coordinates of the two points on the rectangle..</p>

<p>thats what I orginally thought, but then I noticed that they already have 186 books..</p>

<p>I think I put the 867? one</p>

<h2>The question was toward the way begining. It was just expanding an expression and finding the two root equations "(3a+...) (something +/- something).</h2>

<p>On the first english passage what did you write about inserting the "Hobby" sentence?</p>

<p>Yeah you find out the desired number of books first. Then it states that they still need 183 (or something similar) more books. You subtract and get 867 or something.</p>

<p>i evidently misread the question</p>

<p>dam, i knew that one was too easy for being one of the last ones</p>

<p>the book question.. i ORGINALLY put 1050, but that answer didn't make sense.. because the question asked how many books the school orginally had....... they should END UP having 1050, and or in other words... after the addition of 186 (something around that number) books to the numbers of books they already had should equal 1050, which is an equivilent of 5% of the required amounts... right? </p>

<p>Personally, I'm not sure... but that was my logic</p>

<p>Yeah that's right...You just subtract the number they were ordering from that for the number they already had.</p>

<p>is that hobby one refering to the hair cutting shop (I forgot the correct term)? if so... I said not to insert it... but forgot the reason.</p>
