**Official April ACT English 2013

<p>I thought that the harsh conditions paralleled the obstacles she had to overcome (i.e. her illness and her dogs’ viral infection)</p>

<p>idk i didnt like these questions, some of these could’ve had 2 answers. It wasnt really clear cut</p>

<p>I put that she was an expert, instead of her doing it over and over again. Personally, I feel that based on the previous sentence, which mentioned her winning with very harsh conditions, that it seems she would be a well established, expert racer. That’s my reasoning behind the answer. Does anyone else agree, or is the other choice more likely to be correct?</p>

<p>^agreed actsat</p>

<p>THat’s my reason.</p>

<p>@actsat2400 I didn’t think of it like that… Shoot…</p>

<p>see it all depends on her goal: i thought her goal was to be able to complete the race- which is why i put my answer and it is correct if that is her goal. If her goal was to become an expert at racing then your guys’ answer is correct- she wanted to become a professional. It wasn’t clear what her goal really was. I put that her goal was to just complete the race since she had a medical condition and had a helper and everything so she couldn’t really become a professional</p>

<p>ok so she wanted to compete in the race so that she can complete it. So the goal answer should be right then. It doesn’t say that she wanted to do this as a career or specialize in this racing so you cant assume she wants to become a proffessional but you can assume she wants to do it again since that was her original goal</p>

<p>actsat2400, I think you’re right. The logic behind your answer seems better than mine.</p>

<p>cbatarseh, i hope so, i wish they’d release scores earlier :frowning: ill make sure to message you about my scores once i found out about them</p>

<p>Me too! I wish they could like grade them in a week lol. Cool, I’ll message you mine too!</p>

<p>So what do u think the curve will be?</p>

<p>I thought the February test was significantly easier than April’s. I finished it with about 20 minutes to spare, and there were no questions that tripped me up. I believe I missed one question but still got a 36 (which I think is sort of unusual, using -1 is 35).</p>

<p>This time, I only finished with 5-10 minutes to spare, and there were at least five questions where I was debating between two choices. There were more weird grammar things on this test. I’m hoping 72-74/75 is still a 35, like some of the tests in the red book. The test was still pretty easy, but those few tougher questions made it feel slightly harder than usual. I hope a lot of other people feel the same way!</p>

<p>yup i do as well, it was overall easy but those 1/2 tricky questions are going to completely mess up the whole curves and everyones scores</p>

<p>there was question that said something like “His pride in his country and in his music was/were the driving force/forces behind…”</p>

<p>The answer is was and force. The subject of the sentence is “pride”. Don’t be confused by the intervening prepositional phrase.</p>

<p>Near the beginning there was a question about the dog coming when called. Does anyone remember the answer to this?</p>

<p>i put make the addition/ keep the phrase because it showed what the dog’s reponse to the guy calling it was</p>

<p>Do you guys remember the answer to the question with “via” in it?</p>

<p>I put No Change so I left it with “via”</p>
