<p>^No it definitely wasn’t water and air. The experiments were measuring decomposition, and mesh bags are the only way that the graphs can indicate that the mass was decreasing.</p>
<p>honestly it just depends on the curve for me. isn’t it something like -1 34 and -2 32…if it’s that harsh on this test then yes science might def be an issue</p>
<p>@ soccerryan, yes it was experiment 2 because in experiment 2 they varied the Mg spheres</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Epically. ;_; I’ve no idea what to expect for the curve though.</p>
<p>the mesh bags couldn’t have retained c because that’s what was changing</p>
<p>^The answer was the they used mesh bags because it let out the mass, not because it let out water and air.</p>
<p>I was breezing through the test- no problem- until I got to the science section. I wasted so much time trying to remember Punnet squares from freshman year. I ended up with no time left in the end and had to guess on a couple of questions. This was definitely the hardest section of the test for me.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Ah, this makes sense! So I definitely got it wrong putting that it retained carbon 
oh well.</p>
<p>Did anyone else notice that the instruction paragraph above the latitude and longitude section got the figures mixed up? It said that latitude was Figure 1 and longitude was Figure 2 when it was actually the other way around…It was an incredibly easy section, but it started me off on the wrong foot.</p>
<p>i’m still confused about the mesh bags question cuz there’s no consensus on it…a lot ofpeople put the same thing as me (water and air) but a lot of people put something else. hm</p>
<p>did anyone else find student 3 in the opposing viewpoints passage completely unnecessary? i dont think i even used him once</p>
<p>@mass girl, i am exactly in your situation right now</p>
<p>^massgirl and fisawalab,</p>
<p>I thought the answer for that one is that the mesh bags let the mass in and out. Not retaining carbon, and not letting water/air out.</p>
<p>i put letting water/air in and out because there was nothing in the passage saying anything regarding retaining C or letting out litter.</p>
<p>and the punnett squares one was so confusing. I forget what p and q meant. Also there was a question about individual 3 or something ergg i wish i remember.</p>
<p>What was the question with % after inverting?</p>
<p>
No, the answer choice was “because the mesh bags didn’t let mass in and out”. The correct answer was it let air and water in and out.</p>
<p>^JetsFan the 3 graphs were all measuring how much mass was lost, and the only way that you can measure this is by having a mesh bag.</p>
<p>^ACT how positive are you about that? I almost never misread answers…</p>
<p>Maybe they’ll remove the question about the bag?
I first said water because it was a guess but then I thought Carbon because the one graph depicted how much carbon was in the bag. </p>
<p>So I’m not sure.</p>
<p>a lot of people seem confused about the pedigree chart. i’m pretty sure i got them all right cuz i learned about genetics in bio so i’ll explain the ones i remember…hopefully it can help someone!</p>
<p>ok well the first one was Student 10 (it was asking about which one was a girl AND had trait t)</p>
<p>the question about the assumption made by all 3 students…p+q=1</p>
<p>the question with the percentage was 100%, cuz both people had trait t and the student referred to in that question believed that to have trait t, your genotype has to be tt (so if both people had trait t their offspring would be guaranteed to have it)</p>
<p>ahh i don’t remember the others but if anyone has more questions on that passage i’m happy to answer lol</p>
<p>@ graviton, 70-100% was the answer</p>
