<p>Im scared now...not because of darkzeroman's post....but because i think i did not do as good as I wanted 2 now :-(</p>
<p>Anyone else have anxiety about whether they bubbled the answer sheet correctly? Like if you thought the answer was B but you accidentally put C or put the answer in the wrong slot? eeeeee</p>
<p>ok so, i admit, i just skipped to the end of the thread because i didn't feel like reading all of it.</p>
<p>i put radiate, because i feel like that means something inside of it was causing the glow, versus something reflecting off of it.</p>
<p>i thought the essay was the absolute worst topic imaginable because there's no way you could put any historical or scientific information to back your point. i have a really hard time writing essays when i don't have "concrete details" to back what i'm saying.</p>
<p>and, thankfully, science is my strongest subject, so i was fine with the whirwind passage, but i can definitely understand how it would be hard to read.</p>
<p>oh and i ran out of time on the math :(, which is the reason i retook. i was hoping to finish in time and bump up my math score, but i think i fared even worse this time. the questions were just really wordy and i had to think through them a lot.</p>
<p>oh, and yes, i got increases only for two answers in a row (if i remember correctly)</p>
<p>ALSO, this one question made me second guess myself a thousand times. in the one about the cradleboard program, what did you guys say for "not only added but also improved" (or something like that). just say keep it as is, or did you said "not only added, but also improved, the..." i was stuck for so long and i ended up adding the commas, but now i think i was wrong.</p>
<p>On the cradleboard passage what was the answer for the one that was like "untouched, genuine." I put "natural" because all of the other ones sounded repetitive.</p>
<p>yeah, i put natural too</p>
<p>darkzeroman, you are going to buy me a new keyboard. because after reading your post, I spray-spit my coke all over my keyboard.</p>
<p>hahahaha ^^^^</p>
<p>bluetissues - that question bothered me too! And I also put your answer. I was looking for a phrase like "not only added, but also improved" (without the comma at the end) but I couldn't find it. argghhh~I think I got it wrong too.</p>
<p>same!! i just asked my mom, to see someone else's opinion and she agreed with us on both counts. she thinks there should've been one comma and not two, but she says she would've put the answer we both put, with the two commas. let's just hope we were right, but i'm still doubting myself...</p>
<p>do you know if we can get the actual test back with this particular testing date? i did for the last time i took the ACT (so i could see exactly which questions i got wrong), but i don't know if you can always get the test back.. like with the SAT, you can only see the actual test from certain testing dates.</p>
<p>You cant get the test back for the September testing date. I belive you can get it back for dates between Dec - June..</p>
<p>What cradleboard passage? I forget ..? describe what went on</p>
<p>it was about a woman starting an educational program about native american culture in a school, and she called it cradleboard. there was one question where they asked about commas and such in a sentence that was something like "she not only added to but also improved the current curriculum" and it asked if you should keep it the same or (the other answer i was deciding between) change it to say "she not only added to, but also improved, the current curriuculum." i was really hoping for an option where there was a comma after to but not one after improved. so yeah, Dream and i both struggled between those two answers and we both ended up picking the one with commas.</p>
<p>Yes the answer with the comma is what i put i believe</p>
<p>Yeah, I put the one with two commas. I had the same issue you guys speak of, but eventually decided that " she not only added to, but also improved, the current curriuculum." was correct :)</p>
<p>i want to disagree since the comma should be used only to set apart the two independent clauses with the conjunction but.</p>
<p>the correct answer to this comma/but question is WITHOUT the commas</p>
<p>Example
I wanted to go but could not get my car started. </p>
<p>The last example does not have two independent clauses (it has just one subject and two verbs); therefore, no comma is needed.</p>
<p>exactly....i saw this similar question in the baron's act book</p>
<p>awww shucks. well, i'll keep that in mind next time i encounter a question like that somewhere.</p>
<p>Just a general question--
Does anyone remember getting a lot of B/G's in the English section?</p>
<p>Adman, Yes I do..</p>
