*OFFICIAL* September 2012 ACT English Section Discussion

<p>Put down ur thoughts and questions pls</p>

<p>Im a pessimist when it comes to test, but i honestly thing i got no less than 30 :smiley: theres a good chance i may have got a 36 as well!</p>

<p>Depending on the curve, maybe a 35 or 36. I was only stumped on one question. Regarding the Tippy Test, what the hell was the answer to the one involving commas and semi colons and the word maneuvering?</p>

<p>If I had to make a choice, I would have just done “…and maneuvering…” but that wasn’t an option so I had to pick between " ,and maneuvering" and “;maneuvering”. I picked the first. Not sure if that’s right or not.</p>

<p>That’s the one i was unsure of :confused: i think i may have put the first one also (y)</p>

<p>What was the full question?</p>

<p>If I didn’t get a 36, I would honestly be surprised…</p>

<p>Me too. I’ll be surprised if I don’t get a 36 on english and a 1 on science</p>

<p>wcclirl444, I honestly don’t remember. Maybe someone else does. I just know that is basically came down to a comma vs a semicolon is a place where I felt neither should be used as the break was too weak for both of them. I went with the comma because it was weaker than a semicolon.</p>

<p>The one about the dirt and the kids playing. Was it something about being on the farm or something about their feet in the dirt or whatever? lol</p>

<p>What about choice with sang, to be sung, and singing? I’m not really sure about that</p>

<p>It shouldn’t have been changed. The entire thing was about them playing in red dirt and their feet being cruddy and all the fun they had. Nothing else given fit the passage.</p>

<p>At least I think.</p>

<p>It said something about how the options were amazed at it, then on the farm.</p>

<p>^ correct, i do believe</p>

<p>i get freaked out when i see a row of the same answer. did anyone else get a chain of “c and h’s” at the end and a bunch of a’s/f’s in the beginning? there was also this one question in the kids playing in the dirt section.</p>

<p>Which best describes that the kids made different designs</p>

<p>a. NO CHANGE…(we wanted to believe our were unique)
b. …stupid answer
c. we decided on the shape, size and design </p>

<p>the question was along those lines…</p>

<p>this was the easiest section on the test… but the science was torture</p>

<p>I had 3 maybe 4 chains of answers of 3 in a row</p>

<p>i.g. </p>

<p>A
A
A</p>

<p>Something like that idk the exact letter. </p>

<p>And redsummer13, I said the shape, size, length answer</p>

<p>@Lake I had chains too!</p>

<p>that is what i put! i overall thought the test of easier…but some of them were tricky</p>

<p>the answer was C for that question red summer. It most specifically gave what was being varied</p>

<p>i had one chain of 4 c’s</p>
