Official September ACT Discussion Thread

<p>the science section was poorly made but strangely easier than PR and redbook
this ACT wasnt as good as the red book ones</p>

<p>“when can we start discussing individual questions?”
quoted because i want to know too</p>

<p>For the “tough” math one you just had to plug in numbers for an extremely fast solution.</p>

<p>I thought the Science/Reading were tougher than usual, Math had 1-2 tricky ones, English was normal. I wrote a very good essay.</p>

<p>I agree about the science section. I don’t think it was as much hard as it was just poorly done. I thought the questions were worded really badly.</p>

<p>For the “tough” math one you just had to plug in numbers for an extremely fast solution.</p>

<p>Ferris Wheel or 10 cabins?</p>

<p>Are we allowed to discuss the individual problems?</p>

<p>thanks JAJdude… as for the test I thought reading and english were easy, i thought the science portion wasn’t as hard as I imagined, and I found the math section a difficult past 30</p>

<p>10 cabins was easy if you thought about it. I probably could have done the ferris wheal but I ran out of time doing it last because my stupid TI-84 decided to flip out on me half way through for about 15 minutes.</p>

<p>Does the number 324 ring a bell for anyone?</p>

<p>Can we discuss yet? I really want to know what the ferris wheel and 10 cabins questions were!</p>

<p>for 10 cabins i wont give an answer but I will give you a hint to figure it out. Just count backwards from 10.</p>

<p>Ferris wheel I got hung up on, I couldn’t remember my sines and cosines, and I was tired.</p>

<p>English was so easy. I finished it with plenty of time to double and triple check my work, then I had 10 minutes left. Math I didn’t have time to check because I was working on the Ferris Wheel problem and the Cabins. Reading was decent; I didn’t like the first passage, but all of the others were good. Science was average. But the math - it was just so hard! The hard problems were extremely difficult, and I am a math person.</p>

<p>lol cant believe people thought cabins was harder than the last one.</p>

<p>What was the last one? Was that the logic problem, with the blue figurines?</p>

<p>Yup that was the problem</p>

<p>324 is the right answer
and the time for the embargo already pass so its fine
what did you put for the ferris one? like c or b?
how bout the figurines?</p>

<p>Last one was a breeze. Only the ferris wheel and cabin gave me trouble. Figured out the cabin once I saw it the pattern though. Never figured out the ferris wheel though so if someone wants to clue me in.</p>

<p>Spyder - The last one was the logic problem</p>

<p>wait whats 324 the answer too?</p>

<p>“324” which one was that? as for the cat problem I missed that on the PSAT and my score dropped from a 800 to 750.</p>

<p>Ferris wheel was the longest equation with a cosine.</p>

<p>ahhh im ready for some hardcore discussion on the act! when can we begin!!!</p>
