Official February 2012 ACT Discussion Thread

<p>@dfire28 and others
What ramp question are you talking about?</p>

<p>The one where she had to buy the covering?</p>

<p>Iris,</p>

<p>I put depressing, since she compared it to an old dog. I did bad though, so…</p>

<p>What was the answer for the probability math question about the dice?</p>

<p>atothelexa, I think it was 2/3, or the biggest probability there. I’m not sure if thats what i put, though</p>

<p>@inTheoWeTrust</p>

<p>I think you may be right. I put depressing at first, then I saw something like : “…, but it’s one and only leading up to…” so I was like “…”… then I ended up changing my answer… -sigh-</p>

<p>do you mean the 1,1,1,6,6,6 sided dice? It was 1/2 chance to get 7.</p>

<p>Oh, the dice I remember. It was what’s the probability that shows 7 showing up right?</p>

<pre><code> 1 1 1 6 6 6
</code></pre>

<p>1 2 2 1 7 7 7
1 " " " " " "
1 " " " " " "
6 7 7 7 12 12 12
6 " " " " " "
6 " " " " " "</p>

<p>I think I put 1/2… But I’m not sure if I did/read it right. Proctor took my watch and I was going crazy…</p>

<p>A general question: I heard you can take the ACT up to 12 times. Then, can you hide everything but like 2 and colleges only think you took it twice? is there a disadvantage to taking it so many times?</p>

<p>^yes, you go crazy taking it that many times.</p>

<p>inTheoWeTrust</p>

<p>I think it depends on the colleges. Some may want you to show all, but some may not.
Sorry for the iffy answer lol</p>

<p>Darn. I read the dice problem wrong, you guys seem right</p>

<p>The house with the Kashmiri lady was satisfied because it got use I believe. I think she compared it fondly to an old dog but I’m not quite sure.</p>

<p>@faux it was compared to an old dog definitely and i put satisfied as well</p>

<p>@fauxfrutfilling,</p>

<p>That’s what I put because it said… “,but it’s the one and only leading to…”,
but then at the end, she compared it to a constant, an old dog…
So, I have no idea… lol</p>

<p>… every single problem i was iffy about was wrong. ■■■.</p>

<p>Oh yeah, on the math section:</p>

<p>The triangle inside a circle inside the square,</p>

<p>it was 18, wasn’t it?</p>

<p>Or not, I think I read the question wrong…
I think I measured the white space instead of the shaded space…</p>

<p>what was the kamishi lady question where it asks what the passage was about? (first question of that section)</p>

<p>yep. Took me a while but you could have put everything shaded to one side of the square so it would have been half of 36.</p>

<p>“Straight man” in comedy club pasage:

  • “a mouse in a cheese factory? You’re living the dream!” Was this (a) memorized from Carter’s script or (b) Made up on the spot by the narrator
    I said b because it said something about carter suddenly launching into adlibbing, but I don’t know what adlibbing is. I figured it was like madlibs?
    -Which is NOT revealed about carter? I said whether or not he also has been a straight man before
    -“it” in line 2 refers to what?
    -“but this what not the case” refers to the narrator getting less than half the salary</p>

<p>Confirm anyone?</p>

<p>Yeah the circle one was 18.
Did anybody get the electrical resistance question on science?</p>
