Official ACT April 8th Thread

<p>I said D, the art of storyteling or somethign like that.</p>

<p>The answers kept having to do with "writing being easy." Did anyone else that was off topic?</p>

<p>Yeah that was definitely off-topic.</p>

<p>i feel so much better now. i thought i was the only person who thought the science was insanly hard. in prep class i always finished the science with about 5 minutes left. but i didn't even get to the last passage and guessed on half for passage 6. i'm slow at reading so the reading section killed me.</p>

<p>I'm sorry cow, but the last passage in science was the where you could have milked some easy points (Pun NOT intended, heh.) It was about the orbit of a planet around a star, and the graphs were very readable IMHO.</p>

<p>I actually managed to finish science, which was nice. I remember in eighth grade as part of the MTS I took the ACT and completely ran out of time in science reasoning...I think I bubbled in "C" for twenty answers? But hey, I managed a 20 on SR!</p>

<p>UGHHHHH... that just makes me feel worse. oh well. theres always june. i like the pun tho</p>

<p>Oh yeah, about the planet passage, what was the answer to the first (I think) question? It was the one about "how many times does a planet at such-and-such stuff cross ___" or something. It was the only one with numbers for answers, anyway. THe possibilities were one, two, three, or four or something. Heh, can't you tell I'm amazing at remembering test questions? :D</p>

<p>Twice .</p>

<p>Sorry. What I do is if I don't understand the question I just guess and try to get to the next section as fast as possible. That way the easy sections never evade you, and you have some time at the end to check your answers.</p>

<p>^twice aswell</p>

<p>Why twice, theoneo? I thought it was between once and 3 times...although perhaps I completely screwed up reading the graphs (which would be sad indeed as it was probably one of the easiest sections).</p>

<p>it was twice because if you looked at the line of .10 (the solid line), it was 30 km/sec at two points. </p>

<p>why was the answer for the nth number of dots 3?
i put 6 for some reason. i didnt really get it.</p>

<p>Argh....I'm so stupid...the curve w/o breaks...argh. I looked at the wrong curve. Boo, not cool. As far as why three works - because it's not even. If it's even, it would always go every other forever and ever and the in-between dots would never get colored.</p>

<p>ted leo/ pharmacist: btw that's an awesome band...u couldn't have an even number because eventuallly....you will be coloring the same dots over and over...it had to be odd and it wasn't five because 10 is divisible by five, so essentially only two dots would be colored.</p>

<p>lol, was five an option? I just went with the first odd number I saw...lucky the first odd number I saw wasn't five.</p>

<p>OMG... I totally bomed today's test!</p>

<p>English=easy
Math= ok/sort of hard
reading= did not have enough time ( I just guessed on like the last five questions)
science= satan</p>

<p>does anyone remember the math one with a graph that had two lines-a cost and a revenue line
the question was how much is one whatever they were selling worth</p>

<p>How can I join the ACT Chat on AOL? I dont know how to.</p>

<p>On the science, I couldnt find many of the answers, and ended up taking an educated guess.</p>

<p>As for the revenue one, it was where the lines intersected, like $10,000 I think.</p>

<p>To people who took other ACTs, was this one the hardest?
Thanks</p>

<p>I think the answer to the one you're talking about was $10...is it the one where you had to look at R(x) and the last option was "cannot be determined"?</p>

<p>Annie: Yes, 5 was an option. I chose 3 as well....</p>

<p>On the english section, did you get a lot of "No Change" answers?</p>
