Official December 10th ACT Science Discussion

<p>By the way I aced the CaCo3 section and the periodic table one (AP CHEM FTW) so if anyone remembers the questions ill try and answwer.
@josht3t: for those questions I dont think ANY of them had battery as answer. was either capacitor charged or uncharged. for q=0 capacitor is uncharged. If you looked at the defined variable in the passage Q is CAPACITOR current/voltage. The battery remained constant at either 4v or 10v
@for the -4m/s it is because car Y is in the middle of the other 2 and both of them are coming in at -2 m/s so you add them together to get -4.</p>

<p>Plain and simple science section was hard.
Here are the answers I remember.
Passage1 Pretty easy
7. Was none of the experiments unsupported the hypothesis
Passage 2 average
Upsloping graph
10 minutes runoff time
Climate was the controlled variable
High grazed, less vegetation, less protection to erosion
Passage 3
10v
Increasing for q when switch is closed
Decreasing when discharging
Capacitor was uncharged
Passage iv
Increasing and decreAsing ion radius as the atomic number increases
Aluminum liquid sodium glasses
Upsloping curve
Passage 5
Single and 0 Percent
One Parent walnut one parent other d this is the One where I had 3dj answers
Passage 6
Away and toward
10 meters
-4m/s
Passage 7 hardest one!!!
26and30
Between 80 something
All was caco3 in the substance
Last one I put b</p>

<p>i also put climate,then toward and away
this section was pretty difficult…</p>

<p>For the phenotypes one I didn’t do any punnett squares or anything. I thought you could just use Table 1 for all the possibilities. Also, it’s been two years since bio (never took the ap), but is homozygous recessive rrpp?</p>

<p>@dsus444 yeah you could use the table for all the possibilties. more specifically, the alleles of the parents it gives you matched with the table. POE eliminates all but D I THINK. And yes homozygous recessive is rrpp and answer is single and 0%</p>

<p>CACO3 i remember an answer was A, something makes it finish react quicker.</p>

<p>I feel slightly better about my answers now… with the exception of the last passage. Did anyone else find it interesting that there was no conflicting view points passage?</p>

<p>@dfree124 omg i was kind of mad tbh.</p>

<p>Haha, I wasn’t. I hate those! I think I did better than I initially thought. If I could pull out a 34 or 33 on sci I would be so happy!</p>

<p>I was happy there was no conflicting viewpoints – if there were, i would’ve been 100% screwed. hoping for a 32 AT THE VERY LEAST</p>

<p>For the last 4 questions, does anybody remember what they got?</p>

<p>I guessed and put 37) C/H 38)C/H 39)J/D 40)A/F or B/G (I don’t remember what I put for #40)</p>

<p>Does this match up with anybody??</p>

<p>What did you guys get for the average runoff time?</p>

<p>I think I divided seconds wrong…</p>

<p>data:
1st 300
2nd 600
3rd 600
4th 390</p>

<p>is it…10 mins?</p>

<p>yeah it’s 10 min</p>

<p>oh crap! I changed it to 15min on accident. I saw 10.5 min in my division and thought that the answer was 15 <em>facepalm</em></p>

<p>anybody get C/H as any of their last 4 answers?</p>

<p>Was the avg runoff question the one where it’s like “the simluated rainfall is 75mm/45min” one? Or is that different question :/</p>

<p>science was way too hard. out of all of the real act tests ive taken, this was the hardest</p>

<p>I’ve taken time practice science tests and scored 34 in the past finishing everything. I legitimately had five minutes left to answer the last twelve questions, and I was forced to guess on the last nine. I’m done for.</p>

<p>all i can say is thank god for AP bio and AP chem… I’m feeling the 36 science</p>

<p>im pretty sure for the vegetion one it was B. because it said the one with higher graze or whatever had: and it should be more vegetation</p>

<p>And it’s funny because usually i walk out of the test feeling great and end up being disappointed, but for this one it’s the exact opposite. Through the threads im getting a lot right that i was unsure of. Thanks guys</p>
