*OFFICIAL* June 2012 ACT Reading Section discussion

<p>Yeah that question I’m also not sure… I put religious writing as well. The question is ask what’s Latin-English dictionary used for</p>

<p>Did you guys say that the fires burned in autumn?</p>

<p>yup and how often did you guys say they burned? once a year?</p>

<p>Its supposed to be every 4-7 years. The passage said that nature burns the fires every 4 to 7 years, and that the firemen people initiated the fire as nature would.</p>

<p>Passage 1 answers? Number 1: grandmother wanted to learn more about the people</p>

<p>4-7 years was the answer I believe.</p>

<p>Yeah i said every 4-7 years as well.</p>

<p>Once every 4-7 years.
It said so in the paragraph describing the history of the fires, and how they burned every 4-7 years.</p>

<p>It also helps that I work/volunteer at the Pinebush (a local preserve where they do the exact same thing to fight off invasive species) and hear this stuff 24/7 haha.</p>

<p>there goes the 36 probably…I thought it was every autumn</p>

<p>Was the answer choice for that one b for 4-7?</p>

<p>Anyone else have to take 2 readings tests? Our group did! The 2nd reading section had 18 questions.</p>

<p>@terinzak
Did you take the ACT with or without writing?
I think the fifth section for us was another Math section, but none of us took it because we were a Writing group.</p>

<p>We were without writing…I guess this is something new…Will they count both sections?</p>

<p>@quickerthanswift, what was the ‘grandmother wanted to learn more about the people’ question?</p>

<p>@yankeedood</p>

<p>I think it was the one that asked why she went to the beach</p>

<p>It was the first question. I narrowed it down to the P-something people or she wanted to sing</p>

<p>She went to the beach to play with the other children…</p>

<p>@terinzak
I have no idea!
I got worried when I was flipping through the book during science and saw some section 5 math. It’s probably similar to the SAT, where they have fake sections mixed into the test to test questions out for future tests. Except the SAT camouflages their sections a lot better apparently haha.</p>

<p>@yankeedood1202
Yeah, I got confused about that too. What’s a -1 for Reading? I think I guessed “watched the birds” but only now do I realize that it was probably the other answer…</p>

<p>@shazam that’s it</p>

<p>-1 in reading is almost always 35. I speak from experience.</p>
