<p>@jattkc, I forgot the shapes, but I had rational numbers, integers, then natural numbers, like each one emcompasses the other with the natural number being the smallest shape.</p>

<p>What did you guys have for the PH one in the science section? Where it asks which PH the catalyse was active?</p>

<p>Natural numbers within integers and integers within rationals</p>

<p>Wait so nobody remembers if the question involving digging into a hole on Math (#59) that we already said the answer was (v/lw) - d was answer choice E or not? Because I put E, but that correct answer may have been a different choice.</p>

<p>@Matthew, it was (v/lw) - d = x
Because v = lw(d+x), so you just solve for x.
I think it was a C or a D because I don’t remember it being on the ends.</p>

<p>It was d for that one</p>

<p>Yeah that answer was D, I guessed on that one but I think I chose D.</p>

<p>ph one was 6 to 10 i believe</p>

<p>Natural numbers within integers and integers within rationals</p>

<p>Overall I didn’t think it was terrible. I’m for sure going to retake it as I want to get at least a 30 and I’m pretty sure I was 2-3 points off. If I had to predict how I did this is my best guess:</p>

<p>English: 26
Math: 27
Reading: 34
Science: 24</p>

<p>Composite: 28</p>

<p>I thought the English was pretty easy, I’m guessing a 34-35.
Math was easy, except for ~5 questions I thought were ridiculously hard. #18, #19, #55 & #59 were the ones I had no clue on. I think I’ll get 32-34.
I was running out of time on Reading and didn’t have much time left, but I think I did well in spite of that. Probably a 31-33.
Science had 5 really easy passages (yay for 2 physics passages!) and two hard ones (the cataleses and PLL ones). Probably a 30-32, though the curve is harder to predict on science IMo so who knows.
Writing prompt wasn’t horrible, but not great either. Probably a 9, just like my last ACT. </p>

<p>I was hoping for a 32+. I definitely think I have a good shot at it!</p>

<p>I thought exactly the opposite about the science haha. I thought the physics ones were so hard and the PLL and catalyse ones were easiest!</p>

<p>English was stupidly easy. Math was the hardest to me. Some of the hard questions came in early, makes me think the curve will be nice. Reading was pretty good. Science was easy other than the one with the atom cutting or whatever with the r values. The prompt was okay, the time got to me though. I predict over a 30 composite (: (29 on last)</p>

<p>English wasn’t hard for me. I probably struggled a bit on 3-4 questions and 1 of those questions I got right (according to CC though). I would say optimistically 34+, but realistically 31+.</p>

<p>Math wasn’t bad either. I guessed on around 5-8 questions and I probably made a few simple mistakes here and there, so I will say optimistically 32+, realistically 29+</p>

<p>Reading was alright. The first passage was a mess, but the rest wasn’t too bad. Optimistically 33+, realistically 30+.</p>

<p>Science was alright also. I struggled understanding what some of the questions were asking and where to find those answers. I would optimistically 31+, realistically 27+. </p>

<p>Composite: Optimistically 33, realistically 29 or 30.</p>

<p>anyone can predict on curves? particularly in reading math and english?</p>

<p>I honestly hate myself, **** the world. Goal was 33</p>

<p>Got a 32 last time 30, 33, 35, 28. (So improving science and English would be best)</p>

<p>I felt like those two subjects massively improved this time to 32-34.</p>

<p>Easy 33 this time right? I got *<strong><em>ed on reading (35 last time) because I started writing the answers on the science section on accident and had to go back and fix it. i honestly hate myself, and probably got somewhere in the 20s this time. *</em></strong> me</p>

<p>i dont want to **** you tho…:(</p>

<p>I think I did well in the MC sections. But my essay stinked. I’m not hoping for better than a 7 or 8.</p>

<p>What did u guys get for the science section where it asked what would be the amperes if the circuit was blah blah answer choices were 0.0000 0.0001something idk</p>

<p>i got 0 ohms for one answer. and the one where it talked about density i just put the first experiment because thats where the volume was all the same. anyone agree?</p>
