Official Sept. 16 ACT Reflection

<p>it would be realitive to what version of the test you had but i didnt pay attention</p>

<p>for the one that used the distance formula did anyone get radical 65</p>

<p>I got root 65 too.</p>

<p>One comma would have been the worst option--for one comma to work, you have to complete the first part, like "not only added to the current curriculum, but also improved it." Two commas are still pretty bad. The answer without commas is correct.</p>

<p>Speaking of one comma being the worst option, what the F U C K was up with those questions where it was like "What's the worst possible way to fix this part of the sentence?" That ****ed me off so much, especially since that was in none of the prep books I checked out.</p>

<p>those were the easiest. did you make the mistake of not reading hte question???</p>

<p>Also what is the answer the the english passage on butterfly gardens..it was " butterfly's are used in weddings to throw rice"</p>

<p>was the answer it fits by providing mroe examples to the passage
or it doesnt fit in with the history of butterflys</p>

<p>I said it provided more examples of their recent popularity.</p>

<p>i think i put that as well but do not remember all the answer choices...dont remember anything from the test anymore</p>

<p>what was the passage about...i know it was about butterflies but what did it say</p>

<p>i know i just posted like 3 posts in the last 5 minutes but</p>

<p>"it fits by providing mroe examples to the passage"
and
"it provided more examples of their recent popularity"</p>

<p>i think they are the same answer but you both worded it differently</p>

<p>but both of those sound like what i put nonetheless</p>

<p>It said how people were becoming more interested in butterflies recently and gave an example of how zoos were creating new butterfly exhibits and then gave another example of people started releasing them at weddings instead of the traditional rice throwing.</p>

<p>yea that sounds right....they both sound right</p>

<p>Scienced=REALLY REALLY hard.
Reading=NOT ENOUGH TIME.</p>

<p>But other than that, it was ok.</p>

<p>did anyone else think the whirlwind passage was realy convoluted? there was so much info. in tha passage i couldnt remember anything. </p>

<p>being optimisitic:
eng- 33
math- 35
reading- 32
science- 31</p>

<p>i never have enough time to finish the science section. tehres always too much to read. math and english i thought was OK. readin was fair, except that last passage, and so was science. as for writing essay, i could care less; i dont think colleges consider the writing section this year, which is pretty sweet since i suk at writing essays :P.</p>

<p>being pessimistic:
eng- 32
math-34
read-31
scie-30</p>

<p>mannnn, i would LOVE a 33. it would make me muchoooo happy. :D</p>

<p>I thought the reading and english were really easy. The math and science were a bit difficult.</p>

<p>I would love a 33 as well, Huckit.
About the whirlwind passage, we should call ACT and complain. That passage was harder and more intricate than any passage on any practice exam I took from ACT or other test prep companies. There were so much details and concepts, that it was impossible, after a point, to know what you had just read. I remember finishing the first and second paragraphs and then having to go back to them again because I had not grasped what was the pressure, air temp, or whatever causing. Needeless to say, I soon realized that it would be useless to continue reading, as I would only overwhelm myself with all the details and went directly to the questions halfway through the passage.</p>

<p>It was unfair of them to give us as such complex, factual passage that could very well had been a science passage while previous exam only covered straightfoward articles.</p>

<p>wait...can anyone tell me what the first reading passage was about. it was the last one that i did, so i completely skimmed over it....but i'm not sure if i picked up on the right details.</p>

<p>Science = HARD</p>

<p>same here... it was something about mamita and tia?</p>

<p>It was about mexican kids. The main character was a girl who's grandparents lived in NYC and visit occasionally. So then one day the grandparents came back home and the girl's mother was like, give em a book or something although the grandmother cared more about fun things. So then the girl's friend (who was a boy) got a clay ball or something and she got the book. She was really jealous that he got the clay ball and he often teased her about it. So then she decided to try to trade the book for the clay, but he said no. Then she started reading the book, and she liked it...etc etc</p>

<p>there was one question about how the girl feels about the family?</p>
