***Official December 9 ACT Reading Thread****

<p>idk maybe i just remember that as a possible answer choice</p>

<p>whew i didnt get more than 2 wrong from what i've read here...a 35 or 36 would look nice next to my 610 SAT CR (i dont no vocab real good)</p>

<p>yep she was 43+</p>

<p>and i put the postman was also most liekly a newspaper editor.
overall, teh reading was easy i got finished with 10 minutes left....</p>

<p>same here cwatson</p>

<p>Wow, notsomuch, I pretty much got all the same answers as you did. Hopefully we both get a 34-36 on this section =).</p>

<p>The fact is I only read the first paragraph of the prose fiction (the one about the guy and his dad) but I nearly got all the same answers that you got. I could have sworn that I've read that passage before in a book for English! I was so relieved when I realized that, and even more relieved to find that someone else got similar answers lol.</p>

<p>what was the strained question again?</p>

<p>what was the question where the answer was strained?</p>

<p>notsomuch,</p>

<p>I was speaking with a friend today at school and explained to him your theory of how taking the ACT in December is beneficial because of more wrong answers. He told me that they(test makers) determine the curve BEFORE they give the test and receive the scores....is this true? He said that he knew for sure that the SAT 1 "curves" are determined before hand, and he was pretty sure for the ACT. What do you guys thinks?</p>

<p>yea they are determined before hand but they probably consider the type of stuff when determing the curve</p>

<p>for the spider passage what was the answer to the "order of production of fibers"?</p>

<p>it was liek " duct, channels, spinerett"....or somethign weird like that</p>

<p>do you happen to remember what letter choice that was? B, perhaps?</p>

<p>Yeah actually that I try to remember...i believe it was B. I started reading the answers to that question and one of the first ones made sense, but i read all the choices, and i remembered i went back to one of the first choices because it was the best.</p>

<p>yea i dont remember that one at all now</p>

<p>wat bout the questions in the spider asking lik the quality of sumthin and the industry produce silk??</p>
