Official December 10th ACT Reading Discussion

<p>sorry, mixed optical abberation up with transient phenomenon. im pretty sure i put transient phenomenon or the meteor one (if that was a choice)</p>

<p>the meteor one would have been out automatically cause meteors and asteroids are not the same thing.</p>

<p>In the last passage about craters, does anyone remember all the answer choices for what happened first?</p>

<ul>
<li>The magazine was published</li>
<li>Clementine went on its mission</li>
<li>Scientist heard from her colleague </li>
<li>???</li>
</ul>

<p>I realize it’s the second option, but I want to know the last option I’m missing.</p>

<p>I think the ACT was shockingly easy. It was shocking to me because I didn’t do any full practice tests. All the questions I had time for I know I answered correctly. Compared to the SAT Critical Reading section, ACT Reading is as easy as 1-2-3, in my opinion. It’s just those last 2-7 questions in each section that required random bubbling on my part due to time constraint -___- My goal was a 31, but after how many questions I ran out of time to answer correctly, I’d be grateful for a 30. Anyone feel loosely the same way? My SAT score is 2040.</p>

<p>The ACT English and Reading is MUCH, MUCH, easier than the SAT CR. Mostly, I think, is because the ACT does not test you on vocabulary, which killed my CR score.</p>

<p>If I wanted to take the ACT, the only thing I would change is pacing. If I mastered that, then a 36 wouldn’t be a challenge. :expressionless: I wish I had taken practice tests. While I had several minutes remaining in the math sections of the SAT I, I ran out of time before I could finish the last 3-4 questions :(</p>

<p>other questions</p>

<p>did people pick the customer thought the seller was trying to get more money out of the buyer but in fact the seller just didn’t want to sell the item</p>

<p>in the same passage, there was a question about which isn’t explicitly stated in the essay. the only answer that seemed plausible …uh oh, ijust realized i may have made a mistake…

  • the question said which one isnt explicitly stated in the essay. options were what time the person woke up (i think that is the answer now), if he wanted to open the store (he did, it said), and what time the first customer came in(it also said that the first customer came in at 3 something) and the final choice, what i put, was why he was Okay with something…i put D. can someone shed some insight on this question?</p>

<p>also, the decried stuff…i’m so lost as to what the debate is…because…i think it was actually 2 consecutive questions. decried WAS one of the correct answers. and someone before said that maybe most people on CC misread the answer choice - which is a pretty silly thing to say, IMO. i feel like the next question talked about caricature but this one didn’t. Also, we established that he didnt like the caricatures but he did use them/was able to use them. i still dont understand the whole argument about this question / these questions.</p>

<p>I said the customer was thought the seller was trying to get more money. The other one was the last choice, it was why he felt good that day or something. He woke up at 10:30, if I’m not mistaken.</p>

<p>In the passage it said something like he talked against them but he wasn’t above using it… Meaning he used it</p>

<p>…I don’t know how I can make my argument any clearer. I was pretty straightforward with what I was saying. And it was only one question, not two consecutive ones. D;</p>

<p>The one for the which one was not explicitly said in the passage about the junk shop owner was that okay choice.
I also put that he thought the customer was trying to negotiate the price or something.</p>

<p>the thing i was unsure about…did it say that he normally wakes up at 10:30 or something? and that he woke up at a dif time or something and thats why he said that “he still felt okay” (not relating to answer choice D on the other question…or maybe it is?).</p>

<p>a question later talks about what time he normally wkaes up and it was like morning to early morning or something…</p>

<p>No, for that question, the answer choice was “what time he woke up that morning” and such, it was very general. Though i don’t recall the question you’re talking about…
And he doesn’t normally wake up at 10:30, he said he woke up late.
The question about when he normally wakes up → early morning to mid-morning</p>

<p>these are the answers to the radio passage:
early to mid-morning
the customer thought he was negotiating, he had no intention to
ignorance
metaphorically compares brain to memories, what did you guys put?
10. applied the notion faithfully or something like that.</p>

<p>Correct (I believe) answers I remember:</p>

<ul>
<li>Why he felt surprisingly okay.</li>
<li>Metaphorically compares brains to attics</li>
<li>Ignorance</li>
<li>Early to mid-morning</li>
</ul>

<p>the one question with transient phenomena or meteorite which one was it?
Boggti concluded that Stuart was conservative?
memories or ignorance?</p>

<p>Wait I thought he compared brains to memories…</p>

<p>I had to gruesomely guess the last 7 questions for reading… Could someone tell me what your choices were for the last passage?</p>

<p>Brain was to attic. It was a bit tricky, but if you looked back the metaphor was apparent.</p>

<p>somewhere I thought it was brains to memories also, not attic!!!</p>

<p>I picked attic because it was clearly stated in the 1st line on the 2nd page of the passage.</p>
