<p>Eh, I still don’t get why question 44 on the math is 8 lines. I’m pretty sure it’s 16. =</p>
<p>There are 8 lines of symmetry… if u are counting 16 the other 8 are the SECOND half of the same line. ( hope that helps) unless you are doing something completely different idk</p>
<p>I divided the triangle things in half 8 times. Then I was able to divide another 8 times at the vertices where the triangles met each other.</p>
<p>Heh, it’s funny I actually got this one right (you got 35, I got 28).</p>
<p>I’d say just draw 8 lines naturally, and then try to do the vertices. It shouldn’t look right (I don’t have the actual test with me atm)</p>
<p>Splitting each triangle in half makes sense, right as both sides are the same. That’s 8 ways I think. Then cutting it where the vertices connect also makes equal sides, unless i’m missing something here.</p>
<p>Lol, this question is one of the hardest question the test to me with the exception of i think #44, or so, the square and the triangles that’s like shaded. That one got me. :P</p>
<p>lol I got that one right too.</p>
<p>That’s so wierd.</p>
<p>^^We should combine our brains together and take the test in September.</p>
<p>The 3rd one that I couldn’t do was number 55 or something. It was a triangle with equal sides, but 2 different angles, 70 and 110… I didn’t know they could have the same area. >.></p>
<p>How do you even mathmatically prove it… :o</p>
<p>missed that one. :(</p>
<p>I really hate tests like this. I would probably rather just have easy questions with a harsh curve than a really easy curve for a really hard test.</p>
<p>^Hehe, take the SAT then? :o Most of the questions beyond like #20 are really easy, you just have to get used to the wording.</p>
<p>Like on the last SAT I took, the hardest question was finding the permutations of making a 7 letter words with like A-Z, or something. I was exepecting an easy 800, but somehow got a 700 (note that I got a 730 in 8th, now that’s embarrassing)… It wasn’t hard though, just a bunch of misreads. I’m sure there’s a lot of people who can get really high SAT math scores, but are hindered by the SAT’s test format. It keeps the test easier though, because people who should be getting 800s get 700s instead, making the curve less harsh for people who are good at noticing what I call “fineprint”. If you’re good at that stuff, then, maybe you’ll fare better with it.</p>
<p>Oh and if you’re interested in why you got some problem wrong on the last ACT, you can post it, assuming it’s not that line symmetry one. :D</p>
<p>Well, I actually do like SAT math. I don’t like it more than ACT math (when it isn’t this hard as usual).</p>
<p>You said before that you couldn’t imagine taking the ACT math before any precal, and that’s what I did. I am almost finished with precal, and I know how to do pretty much all of the ones I missed.</p>
<p>Recently, I have been scoring 32+ in math, because of all the new weapons at my arsenal.</p>
<p>Egbert, maybe you can help me out lol…
I scored a 32 on the math section -.-
Fairly pathetic when you consider all my scores:</p>
<p>English: 33 (-5)
Math: 32 (-7)
Reading: 35 (-1)
Science: 34 (-2)
Writing: 8/12
Comp: 34
ACT + W Comp: 30 </p>
<p>Can someone recommend a good book for studying the mathematics stuff???
My subscores were:
Pre-Al/Elem. Al: 17
Al/Coord Geo: 17
Plane Geo/Trig: 15</p>
<p>I ALSO FIND IT EXTREMELY CURIOUS THAT I GOT A 35 ON READING AND AN 18 ON BOTH MY SUBSCORES!!! X.X</p>
<p>Lol, a book can’t help you if you already have a 34.</p>
<p>^ Sometimes it can, my friend. Try Barron’s 36, an ideal book for this situation.</p>
<p>"I ALSO FIND IT EXTREMELY CURIOUS THAT I GOT A 35 ON READING AND AN 18 ON BOTH MY SUBSCORES!!! X.X "</p>
<p>The curve will allow a less than perfect subscore be 18 (just like a 36 could be -2)</p>
