September 2011 ACT Discussion and Socres

<p>i have a feeling science is gonna be pretty forgiving. maybe -2 for a 36, then 1 down for each 1 missed after that. I got softly raped by it, i probably missed 8-9 or so… but with the curve we get thats still about a 30… plus im confident in my 34s in english and math…</p>

<p>edit-eeforme you’re right</p>

<p>I think I performed stellar on English, but I KNOW I used too much time on the other sections.
I went through reading well, but made a mistake by not bubbling in as I went along…
And the science was easy at the beginning but became so much more difficult towards the end. Really don’t see much of an improvement in composite scoring, maybe two or three more points in English and one more point in math. Can’t say the same for the other sections…</p>

<p>so what did we agree on for the director passage? was it one director or two? it was his last chance to do what? and was his opinion in the last passage?</p>

<p>Oh gee thanks, guess I started AP Bio too late :D</p>

<p>Yeah, should of thought of that. So little time though!</p>

<p>ACT is seriously SOO easy… if I had double time on every section i would pop 36s out one after another… They just insist on seeing how ridiculously fast one can think through easy questions. the SAT is kind of the opposite, you’re not as rushed but the questions are MUCH more tricky.</p>

<p>Five more minutes on reading and science = 36.</p>

<p>Is the SAT’s English/Critical reading sections harder?</p>

<p>@chipsahui - DEFINITELY</p>

<p>is the reading section harder than AP Lang exam???</p>

<p>no it’s just slightly easier than that.</p>

<p>There was no clock in the room and I forgot my watch. F M L</p>

<p>I think I did better in English, followed by Math, Reading, and Science. Essay was pretty good. I wish I hadn’t forgotten my watch, damn it. I would’ve done a lot better, or at least not have panicked throughout the entire test</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it was just 1 Director (him). The clues were that the guy himself is rounding up the cast crew, by himself for him, and that it stated the barn was His baby.</p>

<p>I swear the people that do the test at my place need a timer, she was like almost always 1min off…</p>

<p>For that one in english if the essay met the writer’s purpose for the lace passage did you guys put no cuz there was little info on the economics of lace?</p>

<p>I put no because there was no info at all about the economics of lace.</p>

<p>Wait what? they talked a little about it when lace during the industrial revolution was discussed.</p>

<p>Yes I think the exact answer was something like “no, because the article did not discuss the economic factors concerning lace, instead focusing on its production over time” or something along those lines. It did discuss production, but nothing to do with prices or money.</p>

<p>“Economic aspects” included the way Lace is produced. There was a brief paragraph on the change in lace production from handmade to machine, as well as the cost going down.</p>

<p>Price+MethodofProduction= ECONOMICS (:</p>

<p>It was choice C or H, the third one.</p>

<p>that wasn’t the main focus of the essay at all. i agree with @juliancal</p>
