Official 2012 June ACT Math Test discussion

<p>@pat That’s how much you save on 3. Divide by 3 to get .19, which was an answer.</p>

<p>@Pat: They wanted to know the difference between the price of 1, not 3. I got a little confused on that too.</p>

<p>Pat it wanted you to divide 3.90 by 3 to find the price of a single one. Then subtract from 1.49. The answer was 19 cents.</p>

<p>If -4 was a 35, I’d be so happy.</p>

<p>I got the taxi one wrong, that’s it so far. -1 36 please!!!</p>

The question was asking for price saved per melon.
If $.57 was saved for 3 melons, then the amount saved per melon would be divided by 3 ($.19 if I remember correctly)</p>

Wow, I didn’t know the curve was that lenient!
Did you think that the April Math section was harder or easier than the June?</p>

<p>@Wolverine and @NCduckie
Also praying for a -1 = 36!
Darn question 50 -__-</p>

<p>@chillin: I’m pretty sure I got -4 on the math in April and I got a 34. Math curves aren’t too harsh usually. I think the math on this ACT was harder than that of the April ACT too.</p>

<p>@skylimits @mets thanks for the replies! one of the tests in the real ACT review book had that ridiculous curve of -2= 36, -4=35, -6=34, and i didn’t think that section was as hard as this one. let’s hope the curve is good!</p>

<p>Man I’m not feeling too good on this section, things were different from the other practices imo. Hoping that my scores for the other sections make up for it.</p>

<p>@meatkabob, i definitely thought april math was harder, but i kind of had a panic attack during it because i didnt feel well and my calc got all messed up. if i had to put both tests next to each other id say the one today may have been a bit easier. either that or i was much calmer</p>

<p>11 pages already? I just got back from eating after my test. Comeon yall.</p>

<p>Eh it was ok. I got stuck on 5
The 4 semi circle ones (I put 25. 50 was the radius or something)
The rhombus one
I forgot the others</p>

<p>Magnet was complete BS but if it was 6rad2 then im goin in for that 36 BABAYY</p>

<p>What was the cone one?</p>

<p>can someone explain to me how 12 was the radius in the cone question? i thought it said if the triangle was rotated about the vertical leg? wouldnt that make 5 the radius and 12 the height?</p>

<p>@Bucky: 240pi!</p>

<p>@chillin
These types of questions show up on almost every Math II Sat Subject Test.
Basically you pretend that the vertical leg is the height of the triangle and you spin the rest of it around that height, making a giant, flat cone.
It’s hard to explain haha.</p>

<p>@meatkabob damn that sucks. awfully worded question</p>

<p>@chillin
Yeah, those spinning trianges to make cones can be pretty tricky, but if you ever take the Math II SAT you’ll have it down pat!</p>

<p>@meatkabob…the sad thing is the dame exact question came up on the math 2 test last weekend…and I totally f’ed it up…-.-</p>
