Official 12/11 ACT Discussion

<p>just sparrow is what i got, but I got 14 because i saw the drop of the graph at 3 and 17 so I did 17-3 = 14. I looked at 19 but it seemed fishy to me, like one of those answers they try to trick you with. I was in a rush so I dont remember the problem too well.</p>

<p>14 for the period problem. Others on here got 11.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question about led to, lead to, something like that?
Also, how abou the third reading passage, what was the answer about euclid?</p>

<p>the period..</p>

<p>I tought the science quest. was like 16-5=11</p>

<p>Oh yeah I put led to, but is that even gramatically correct?</p>

<p>led to -- why wouldn't it be correct??</p>

<p>elucid one.. hmm I had trouble with this one.. I was stuck between two.. It was choice d (with scholar something) and one else.. I put the other one.</p>

<p>I dont think it was scholarship, I put the other answer that made sense as well.</p>

<p>For the euclid problem I said something like it housed scholarship, dont remember exactly</p>

<p>yeah, avanex.. that's the one I didn't choose..</p>

<p>And this think you're right on this one.. sigh..</p>

<p>Hmmm.. I put the answer with the conical bill. Probably just me overthinking the damn test. I figured that since the "house sparrow" isn't too conventional a term, it needed something accompanying it. Then again, the shortest answer is almost always best. I'm just p-o'ed because I'm coming off a 36 eng.</p>

<p>Anyway- the Science one I was rushing through and I put 19- though I thought this was too much the "obvious" answer.</p>

<p>Well the passage said that Euclid completed his book "elements" there. Therefore the logical conclusion would be that the library was a place where the great minds did their work or scholarship. Hmm there arent enough people to debunk any one answer as there are on the SAT :(</p>

<p>ddcleric I didnt choose nineteen because I thought thats what Joe Bloggs would put :)</p>

<p>does anyone remember the one on science for phytoplankton that asked which student would have supported the statement about global warming?</p>

<p>avanex, I think you're right..</p>

<p>dcleric, I'm also really ****ed that my eng is going to drop. What the hell is run-of-a-mill? Sigh.. I just left it.</p>

<p>Knavish, I know exactly what you mean. When I saw the run of a mill I was like wtf??? I think I might have changed it, not sure :(</p>

<p>Damn- just realized I may have "overthought" on the reading as well. I think for the question about what the paragraph describes- I put that it described Ramirez doing "something that hadn't happened and would never be topped" or something to that effect. While the paragraph kind of implied that- the reading section really wants EXACTLY what the passage says. And I think I did that for more than one.</p>

<p>Dammit- not liking this test.</p>

<p>knavish, that run-of-the-mill was No change. wow, you haven't heard of run-of-the-mill? it means "it isn't your ordinary blah blah"</p>

<p>avanex - yea, I put what you did. the passage/question implied the library was so great that it attracted brilliant minds, like Euclid, to work there</p>

<p>how about the sentence in english about choosing between than, then. i completely missed the spelling,i was going fast.</p>

<p>ryan- do you remember the question in more detail? I think I know what you're talking about.</p>
