********Official June 9th 2007 ACT Science Thread********

<p>I thought that it wasn't that bad. Even the vapor pressure passage wasn't that bad. Then again, I'm in AP Chem, so that may be why. Although I thought it was funny that there was a question asking whether Frogs and Toads were Mammals, Reptiles, Fish, or Amphibians.</p>

<p>**** the science man.</p>

<p>I thought the science was pretty easy...I had time to go over most of my answers.</p>

<p>I don't know. I thought it was pretty easy. A lot of people were complaining about the sediment passage but I found it easy. There was nothing to infer just straight graph analyzing. I usually end up making careless mistakes though, like reading a word wrong or something which is why I am worried about the curve.</p>

<p>The curve is different each time depending on the percentiles made by the students. This test was the hardest of the 4 today and the hardest science out of the 1 real and 3 practice tests I've taken so far. I was really confident going in because the others had been relatively easy but the science was SO HARD!</p>

<p>I was under the impression that you didn't actually need to know "facts" for this test. just be able to interpret data. There were several questions that required your knowledge of scientific facts. I knew them all though. :)</p>

<p>fhqwgads-Which ones were they? I dont remember any requiring outside knowledge :&lt;/p>

<p>You think the curve will be like 1 wrong is a 36, 2 wrong is a 35, 3 wrong is a 34?</p>

<p>You had to know what frogs were....and that kinetic energy = temperature</p>

<p>Yeah that wasn't fair however, I took AP Physics thank god.</p>

<p>I though the science was the hardest of the 4. Thank god I took it this year(sophomore year) to get a feel for it next year. I would have been in for a shock otherwise. I am gonna spend most of my summer going through the PR strategy stuff and then do a practice from the real act that I haven't done yet.</p>

<p>was there a conflicting scientist view point passage and i missed it or don't remember it? don't they usually have one?</p>

<p>i tried to give myself 5 minutes for each passage and i still ran out of time on the last two.</p>

<p>There was kind of a conflicting scientist one, but a lot of it was based on a graph I think. A hybrid in a sense?</p>

<p>For the KE one it was highest at the beginning. My sense of logic was that as temp decreases such as at absolute zero particles are not moving and there is 0 KE energy since KE=1/2(m)(v^2). So the highest KE must be at higher temps right? </p>

<p>The frog one was easy though. Its obvously amphibians. Who would actually get taht wrong?</p>

<p>The definition of the word "temperature" is:</p>

<p>"The average kinetic energy."</p>

<p>at collegehopeful78: my friend got the amphibians wrong.. he put reptiles and for the amylase one.. he put like circulatory. Im like are u like retarded? he took AP bio...and still got both wrong..</p>

<p>I thought it was alright. I never took any practice tests for the Science Section, maybe thats why I felt that it was easy..</p>

<p>On the first page there was a question talking about which circuit would give the highest voltage if resistance was the same. After finishing with 10 mins remaining I looked through the data and was confused on how they could expect someone to know that IR=V. Thankfully I had just taken AP Physics, but I don't see that being fair for most, how did you guys solve that without physics, because I don't think I saw anything even in the text after looking for 10 mins that would explain the relationship between current and voltage.</p>

<p>I just thought the higher the whatever, the more voltage there is. (So was the answer the one with the highest I?)</p>

<p>Higher I means higher voltage, since the question said resistance was constant. V = kI....so greatest current made greatest voltage</p>

<p>what was the amylse one and the vapor pressure question</p>
