Official September 2013 ACT Math Thread

<p>this test was easier than june’s test but it was still the second hardest math test i’ve seen. a -4 will probably be a 34/33. any have any guesses on how a -8 will be?</p>

<p>With a -8 you’ll probably be around 29-31.</p>

<p>lol sillyup how’d you come up with such a ludicrous curve?</p>

<p>This test was at about the same difficulty as the red books last 2 which had very generous curves. Looking at this forum, there are around 7 questions that people are debating so assuming we got the rest right, we all should be okay for a 30 or higher. Crossing my fingers, I need a good math score for engineering.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the first problem i feel like i got it wrong. It asked about the slope, i kinda read it fast and pick the slope from the y=mx+b format.</p>

<p>The slope was the number next to x.</p>

<p>58 59 and 60 were all D</p>

<p>It was -3/5</p>

<p>I think -3 or 4 might be a 33 or 34</p>

<p>reallllyyyy hoping for a 32 with 8 wrong. prob will get a 30/31 tho</p>

<p>On form 71D, the last 3 were D, E, and D… according to everyone who had the same form and answered them correctly.</p>

<p>for the last question on 71D was the answer the first one in the second column of answers?</p>

<p>No MAtthew, the last three were all D… idk what you’ve been reading. And the two before that were B.
and ketann, usually -8 wrong is 29/30 idk where you got 31 from. 31 is usually -5/6</p>

<p>@IronFist17/Matthew5/anyone, what were the last 3 questions and the answers on 71D? I don’t remember what letters I put (D, E, etc) but I’d remember the answers.</p>

<p>If the last 3 were all D I’m almost 95% sure I’m -2 at the worst -1 the best, don’t remember what I put for the inequality one and still not sure why it wasn’t 7/sin28</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the letter answer and actual answer to the trig one with the tangent lines and the circle? (i.e. 7/sin 28, A or 7/cos56, B)</p>

<p>7/sin28 was D i think and 7/cos56 was b</p>

<p>@ethanking you have it mixed up. 7/cos56 was D and I remember because I guessed on it and it turned out to be right :D</p>

<p>^^ Those are the wrong letters</p>

<p>7/cos56 was B
7/sin28 was C</p>

<p>I am pretty sure i missed the systems one and the asymptote one so far. Im not sure about the circle one. i got 7/sin(56). so definitely -2 so far. hopefully at least a 35 on this one.</p>
