September 2011 ACT Discussion and Socres

<p>@Syndekit: I think it was asking about the golden spruce and which fact about it was supported by the text. Not sure about the question, but I recall putting “same height as other trees around it” or something like that.</p>

<p>In general, science = screwed me over. For some reason I was really thrown back by the genotypes/phenotypes, and THAT was the end of my timing… xD</p>

<p>The movie style, begun as…, etc. The comma’s the key. If it were just "the movie style began/begun, I would agree. But the comma makes all the difference.</p>

<p>wasn’t the last question about the trees? it was that they were similar sized as the surrounding trees</p>

<p>Yeah the last one was that it was the same size.</p>

<p>random answer for math that i remember:(at have not been stated yet)
-a^2 + 3a - 48
5y -1
(0,8) and (0,-8)
slope = 1/2 or 1/4 cant really remember that one
10%
-24/25
145 or 135 can remember this one either
2b/c
1/2(6 + 20)(radical(9^2 + 7^2))
something x sin32
perpindicular line y=-x
(7,2) for the square on the grid with given point (4,2) as vertex and a side being 3cm
the angle for the flagpole = 60 b/c equilateral triangle</p>

<p>anyone get salt spray for any of them???</p>

<p>I don’t think it was similar sized. The passage said the tree could be seen from miles away.
As for the began v begun look at this: [began</a> vs begun - UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum](<a href=“http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/3323-began-vs-begun.html]began”>http://www.usingenglish.com/forum/ask-teacher/3323-began-vs-begun.html)</p>

<p>My input on the begun/began: seconding what Marinebio said. </p>

<p>i.e.
CollegeConfidential began in xxxx as a forum for studious students. VERSUS
CollegeConfidential, begun in xxxx as a forum for studious students, has definitely grown since then.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t say, “CC, began in xxxx as a forum…, has definitely grown since then.”</p>

<p>Did anyone else enjoy reading the passage about Synesthesia? I found it quite interesting, and pretty easy.</p>

<p>was the one with the midpoints on the line 16? That’s what I got but those type of questions get confusing and are easy to mistake.</p>

<p>1/2(6 + 20)(radical(9^2 - 7^2))<em>, not +
5y-2</em></p>

<p>@anon: I recall getting salt spray for why the spruces are so well-suited to live on the Northwest coast. (:</p>

<p>The forms are different. The questions are the same, but in a different order. Trust me, he’ll get what he deserves ;)</p>

<p>a lot of those are wrong 36onmath</p>

<p>It did not have “has/have” anywhere in the sentence with hitchcock.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the question regarding began/begun. I know I chose begun and was fairly confident of my answer, but all this talk is making me doubt that because I don’t remember the sentence…</p>

<p>i put begun. it was like ‘blah blah blah, ___ as a necessity, blah blah blah’</p>

<p>begun makes the most sense there, and i usually never would go with it.</p>

<p>what was that question with 750 years? i forgot it…</p>

<p>16 is what i got bvfor4!!!</p>

<p>I have a feeling that reading will be my downfall once again based off of these responses.</p>

<p>Thank you, injennious. Finally someone who understands what I’m trying to say! haha</p>
