<p>math- easy
science- medium
english- medium
reading- difficult
essay- piece of cake</p>
<p>i don't see how anyone gets good scores on the reading</p>
<p>Wait... On the science question about which animal was most important for the tick (or something like that), can someone please explain to me why it wasn't deer? It said that deer was the preferred host, and the chart showed no correlation between mice and infection (I think).</p>
<p>I put human...is that right?</p>
<p>Hey betterday, where'd you take the test at in Oklahoma?</p>
<p>What is all this speculation I hear about June being the easy date? What makes it easier than the rest?</p>
<p>Eek, not a good test to make your ACT debut. :(</p>
<p>Frame: I think it did. The first host for the tick eggs said only "mice"</p>
<p>Every other stage in its life cycle listed "humans, mice, or other domestic animals"</p>
<p>So I put mice because it seemed like it was the only one that was "required"</p>
<p>For the pen passage in English, there was a rhetorical skills question dealing with finding pens under his pillow or something. What'd you guys put for that? Yes/no and reason?</p>
<p>yes, becasue it is relevant <--but i'm not sure</p>
<p>in the same passage, what was the answer to the question asking whether or not the first paragraph ("'Give me my pen back,' my friend said gently . . . ") should be in there?</p>
<p>and what was the indirect/direct relationship question on math?
and the direction of the current on science?</p>
<p>No, because it detracts from the focus of the paragraph.</p>
<p>I remember wondering why that sentence was in there because the rest of the paragraph had something specifically to do with the pens on the table. Definitely not 100% sure though.</p>
<p>i said no also, if i remember correctly, he said that if he had to write something in the middle of the night(paraphrased), then he'll have the pens right there, who would wake up and look under their pillow for something.</p>
<p>yes because it flowed into the next sentence....</p>
<p>My math section is doing quite well.
My reading section could be really good, or just plain ok.
English is taking some hits, but is probably ok.
Science is in freefall.</p>
<p>im 100 percent sure, the sentence with the pen under the pillow must be there. it flowed right into the next sentence. yes the paragraph was about the pens on the tables but the statement must be there</p>
<p>I put the sentence about pens under the pillow was not needed, because it detracted from the main focus of the paragraph. I finished the rest of the English with 10 minutes left and used nearly all of that to answer this question. I finally decided that a. the sentence was not needed because the next sentence still made perfect sense without it(waking up in the middle of the night and needing pens, whether at the table or under the pillow) and b. it detracted from the main focus of the paragraph, which was pens at the bedside. It just seemed to me that the word "bedside" was a really crappy hint as to the importance of the pillow sentence-If the paragraph was about pens at the bedside, then pens under the pillow is detracting from the main topic. </p>
<p>Just my two cents.</p>
<p>well i actually chose to include the sentence... because the instructions stated that "assuming the following is true" thus it was even true that at times the narrator had found pens beneath his/her pillow... therefore it was relevant to that specific paragraph...
also anyone know how to specifically figure out the miles +10 problem with the two girls?</p>
<p>I think I put no on the pillow pen question. That's one on the English I sat on for a long time. I might have changed it though.. I can't remember. Putting the sentence IN sounded like it filled out the paragraph more (providing examples), but then.. it also didn't seem to have to do with the first sentance (I find pens by my bedside table or whatever)</p>
<p>That test was one gigantic mess. First of all, the proctor for it did not call out the times, which was rather annoying since i'd been expecting it. I'm just lucky I brought a watch. Second, she only gave us a 5 min break in the middle (I think they're supposed to give 10). I was so wiped out I could have fallen asleep or pass out, whichever came first.</p>
<p>About the actual test. Estimates:
English: 1-4
Math: 7-12
Reading: 6-12
Science: 8-14</p>
<p>English was a breeze. I was fired up and ready to go. Math was a little harder than I expected. Not my strong point obviously, but I still finished in time. At this point I started getting really tired.</p>
<p>Reading is where I got screwed. My watch didn't register when the test started and I ended up missing about three minutes and then forgetting it. Yeah, I was really tired. So when 'put your pencils down' came, I still had two answers unfilled that hadn't even been GUESSED at, since the proctor didn't call the time. Grr.</p>
<p>Science? It didn't seem that much harder to me compared to the practice tests... maybe because the Lyme disease passage and asteroid (or whatever it was) passages were right up my interest alley. I was still strapped for time though, and the proctor's clock was apparently fast, because I still had one unfilled answer to guess on when she called time. (still had about 20 secs on my watch) Lots and lots of educated guesstimates on that.</p>
<p>It'll be a miracle if I even get a 30 on it. I guess on the bright side though, I don't think I could have done any worse. It'll be something to improve on for the June test.</p>
<p>I'm also 100% sure that the pens under the pillow needed to be INCLUDED, and the reason was that it provides information necessary for comprehension of the following sentence.</p>
<p>The reason I put yes was the pillow followed with the dreams and stuff he was talking about after. And how he wanted to jot stuff down.</p>
<p>what about the sealab sentence? i didn't include it b/c it was already described, but that one gave me trouble</p>
<p>I thought is was not needed. The sentence before it read something like I have a handful of pens on my night table. Then the sentence after it read, although I haven't had any good ideas in bed, it is good that the pens are there. There is a direct link between the 1st and 3rd sentence. The second sentence does not belong. If you sometimes find pens under your pillow, you don't always find pens under your pillows. Therefore, if you were to have an idea in bed, you would reach to the night stand where there is a 100% chance of pens instead of under the pillow, where you only have some chance of a pen. That was my reasoning, but whatever</p>
<p>What were the 2 no answer choices. (I think I put the one that said it was vague and not needed)</p>
