Official February 11th ACT Test Thread

<p>vikingmar08, I put "people who think they know everything" because she thought that people were being rude to her I think.. I don't remember exactly</p>

<p>Repeating what a lot of people have said, I got -cos^2(a)+3cos(a) for the last math one.</p>

<p>Rwave, I got 55 as the answer for the math problem about the french/chemistry as well.</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure I got 55. </p>

<p>Also, that cos one helped me since we just learned in Calc that sin^2x = -cos^2x or whatever so I picked the only one that had that choice lol</p>

<p>i got that too that was an easy question. it took me like 2 seconds to get that answer</p>

<p>Sorry, that was my daughter. I'm done taking tests : )</p>

<p>When is the soonest we can access our scores online?</p>

<p>Morning of February 21st online w/ the fee.</p>

<p>Wow! That's not too far away...I think I'll pay the 5 dollars, then use my score to decide whether to try the SAT in April (Need to register by Feb. 24th) or to take the ACT again :(</p>

<p>what did you guys put on the question on the english with lied, lain, what was it</p>

<p>That was my first time taking the ACT, and I was really worried about time. I was very relieved though when I finished every section before the 5 minute warning.</p>

<p>I put "lay".</p>

<p>i put lay, i'm pretty sure that's right</p>

<p>It is possible to still get a 36 on some math scoring scales with one question wrong, right?</p>

<p>do you guys remember the question, i looked up the work lain in the dictionary and it said past tense of lay</p>

<p>i know the passage was in the past tense and they didn't mean lie (like not telling the truth) but lying down</p>

<p>Yeah, that plane question is probably going to screw up the math curve towards our benefit lol.</p>

<p>Ugh.... I thought it was "lied."</p>

<p>You can "lay" an object down. But when a person is the subject..... it's "lie." Then, I think there is an exception when it's in the past tense, making it "lay" again. ****. I forgot completely.</p>

<p>ya, i think johnnydr87 might be right about the exception. When I answered the question, I thought I remembered some exception about using lay in the past tense, which is why I put that as the answer on the test. I could be wrong though.</p>

<p>according to the table on this website <a href="http://www.chompchomp.com/rules/irregularrules02.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.chompchomp.com/rules/irregularrules02.htm&lt;/a>
lay is the simple past tense of the verb "lie", so it does seem to be an exception. All this **** just confuses people. It's retarded.</p>

<p>I agree - I'm pretty sure it was lay.</p>

<p>I wish I remembered what I put down for that one.</p>

<p>Shoot... I definitely put "lied." I totally forgot about the "lay" exception... well there goes one point, lol. </p>

<p>Oh well, I have a few more questions English section...</p>

<p>At the end of the excerpt w/ the lady reminiscing about the beach.. the first sentence of the last paragraph.. did you put "Meanwhile" or just "OMIT" where the transition should be?...Anyone remember?</p>

<p>Also, just before that question, the pretty long sentence with the babies bundled on the pier while their parents are fishing and then about the fish they reel in... did you leave it with the comma or put a semicolon? Or something else?</p>

<p>go look up the work lain</p>

<p>lain is the past tense of lay</p>
