Official September 2013 ACT Science Thread

<p>Thought that it was easier than June's test.</p>

<p>discuss answers/questions here</p>

<p>thought it was overall easy. For one of the questions, where it asked how could they monitor the rate of the reaction, i put rate at which O2 formed</p>

<p>I found science to be the most difficult as it was the only test I had to completely guess on a few due to time. I had trouble interpreting some of the charts while also managing my time. I was hoping I would do decent on Science so I could at least give myself a shot at a 30 but considering the minimal studying I put into this test I was expecting to need to take it again anyways.</p>

<p>I had problems with time management and had to guess on an embarrassing amount. The ones I got through weren’t awful, but they certainly were time consuming (for me, anyway). I’m hoping for a 23 here. </p>

<p>Felt fairly easy as well. Went out of order once again, which seemed to be extremely helpful. Left the blasted conflicting viewpoints one for last as always… had 7 minutes left for that one alone, which was nice. Didn’t seem too bad overall though.</p>

<p>I felt okay about this section. I wouldn’t say it was easy, but I didn’t find it abnormally challenging as well.</p>

<p>What did y’all get what the altitude would object x or something be at at a certain time had the intiial velocity been 50ms? I forgot what I put…</p>

<p>I’m so confused. Was there no conflicting viewpoints section? Am I missing something? Lol</p>

<p>I thought there was one? The students and the enzyme tests? Idk</p>

<p>There was no explicit conflicting viewpoints on mine. There was one about the three students cutting the things at RE, but that was it</p>

<p>@Jazzed - There was one, yes. Always is. I think it was earlier on… second passage, possibly? I skipped over it and saved it for last.</p>

<p>I think it was the RE one.</p>

<p>There was a conflicting viewpoint section. It had the three students talking about the four experiments.</p>

<p>Yah I felt like there was no conflicting view points</p>

<p>What about the second to last question regarding which cylinder would have the greatest ohm’s. I was between the l cm wide - 4 cm long cylinder or the 2 cm wide - 4 cm long cylinder. I ultimately went with the 2 by 4 because it would have more volume to transmit energy. Thoughts?</p>

<p>IMO I really wouldn’t call the RE one a a strong conflicting viewpoint passage, but I guess that could be it</p>

<p>It had 7 questions, which is usually the conflicting viewpoint one (the RE one, that is).</p>

<p>I see. I guess that makes sense, although that easily could have passed as the second style (experimental?). I’m actually glad then since that was one of the easier science sections and it didn’t require reading. Overall I thought it was pretty easy</p>

<p>On one of the science questions about the smoke plume from the factory (I forgot the question), the answer choices were A) 100, 3 B) 108, 3 C) 100, 5 D) 108, 5. That did you guys put? I put D but I’m not sure at all about it.</p>

<p>Yep, 3 five question passages, 3 six question passages, 1 seven question passage. RE one had to be the conflicting viewpoints one (which, like you said, that was much simpler than any other conflicting viewpoints passage that I had seen). Was happy with science overall.</p>

<p>@Patton370 - I want to say that was just where they started measuring the graph… I believe I put 108 and 3, which was B if you’ve got the order right. One of the measurements was a notch or two below 5, so I went with my gut and figured that it was 3 for that axis.</p>
