**Official April ACT English 2013

<p>I’m not sure… I just think that if they say where the whales migrated to (like Nova Scotia or something) it makes sense to say where they migrated from.</p>

<p>It said they were north atlantic whales which is a name not necessarily where they migrated from. due to parallelism, i agree with cbatar.</p>

<p>yeah I think whether to keep the phrase about location of whales was the hardest question in the exam, i put that they should keep it since it is specific information that would tell you the location of the whales or whatever it was. I understand you people saying that it should be removed since it was already mentioned North Atalantic but I don’t think that is the right answer since if thats the reasoning that they wanted then they would have specifically put that the location of the whales has already been mentioned and this is repeated informatioin, but that was not an answer choice. thereform i believe the answer is to keep it for specific, this is my reasoning</p>

<p>^^^ I thought the same. North Atlantic doesn’t say where they migrated from.</p>

<p>But I thought Georgia wouldn’t be considered a part of the “North Atlantic” so it would confuse the reader as to where the whales truly came from.</p>

<p>I honestly think there could be a strong case made either way; ACT questions are often quite subjective.</p>

<p>i think the whole “North Atlantic” thing was referring to something else because i know the clause was something like “florida and georgia” is where they come from and those aren’t even close to the North atlantic. The north atlantic thing was probably reffering to something else, not sure what exactly. If they gave names of states in the north atlantic like Maine or New Hampshire then it would make sense to remove the clause, but it didnt</p>

<p>I think you’re right actsat2400.</p>

<p>thanks cbatarseh, if i got this question right then im 99% confident that I got a 36 unless i made some other careless mistake</p>

<p>If I got this right, there are about 4 others that I’m unsure about. So, hopefully with a good curve and some great luck I can pull off a 33.</p>

<p>there were a couple of questions I was unsure about as well but according to everyone else’s posts it looks like i am correct on those questions :slight_smile: wish you good luck in getting the score you want</p>

<p>^ I put No Change</p>

<p>I too put no change</p>

<p>@actsat2400 I could’ve sworn the original sentence mentioned that the whales came from the North Atlantic and it was not underlined. Because Florida and Georgia aren’t close to the North Atlantic, I chose that the underlined portion should be omitted because it could confuse readers. That’s just my reasoning behind it. ): I just want my scoresss.</p>

<p>Did you guys put that she would “achieve her goal over and over” or No Change (She was recognized as a racer at age 26) for the concluding sentence?</p>

<p>it could have possibly said that the whales are FROM the North atlantic, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they MIGRATE from their as well. For example (human example), I could be BORN/FROM Florida, but I like to MIGRATE from california to new york. Just because they are from a place doesnt mean they have to migrate from there or stay there forever. Idk, we’ll see what happens, i want my scores as well</p>

<p>oh that was another hard question, the racer one, i put “achiever her goal over and over” because her main goal wasnt really to become a professional racer, it was just to race. She had some medical condition so she knew she wouldn’t become professional anyways and just wanted to be able to have fun by racing.</p>

<p>Personally, I added in Georgia and Florida. Also, I put no change on the last question of the dog racing passage</p>

<p>What were the others options for the goal achieving one? I can’t remember that question!</p>

<p>all the options sounded weird to put at the end of that sentence, which is why it was a hard question, the only 2 possible right answers were the goal answer and the professional career answer</p>
