I think the answer was 20 because it asked how you can raise the mean of a set of 5 numbers by 3.<br>
Lets say you have 1 as the mean. Assume that each number in that set is 1. add four to everyone number in that set to raise the mean by 3.</p>
<p>5(1+3)=20
20/5=4, which is three more than 1.</p>
<p>Idk whether it was raise it by 3 or 4 though, if it was 4 the answer would be 25. I know I put the right answer though</p>
<p>@secondarrow, No, it’s definitely 24. I did it several times and i got the same answer. cant remember the exact question though</p>
<p>My first time taking the ACT</p>
<p>English was cake</p>
<p>Math was pretty easy. Couldn’t figure out 2 (I feel like I could’ve if I had a graphing calculator… left it at school)</p>
<p>Reading felt good until the last passage. I had to speed read cause of time</p>
<p>and totally blew the science… my brain got too tired… never really had to concentrate for so long(no practice tests) so every time I got to a question that required thinking I would guess C and move on. Hopefully i get better with my stamina:(</p>
<p>^ Yeah, it was 24. It was asking how much the sum of 6 numbers would rise if their average increased by 4. 1+1+1+1+1+1=6. Likewise, 5*6=30. 30-6=24.</p>
<p>I thought I did okay until I started reading these boards. I doubt I even managed a 30 this time.</p>
<p>The one with y = sin^2x + cos^2x
Y=1, right?
Or is it y=x?
I’ve only ever seen it written as sin^2theta + cos^2theta = 1.
It threw me a bit…</p>
<p>it is y=1. Trig identity</p>
<p>I am feeling so good about this ACT</p>
<p>me too! im excited because im very confident i got at least a 34.</p>
<p>Was it “asserts” or “asserts and maintains” ?</p>
<p>Asserts. Maintains is too similar, so it’s redundant.</p>
<p>Predict Me please:
English: -2/-5
Math: -2
Science: -2/-5
Reading: -3/-6</p>
<p>English had 10 mins left
math easy as always
Reading had to speed read but went good anyway I think</p>
<p>Science… ■■■.
Had to randomly bubble last 10 or so. Bio and chem were never my <em>ahem</em> “strengths” and they just trumped me on there with those W’s and P’s… And gas tanks? What…? Anyone else have that problem?</p>
<p>Essay went kinda same as science, even though topic was pretty easy (the amount of times i argued about this with parents must’ve helped hah).
Barely got over a page worth of writing in though after that science section left me stunned and dumbfounded =/</p>
<p>Was trying to beat my 33 on the June test- not gonna happen :(</p>
<p>@Arcobaleno</p>
<p>English: 32-35
Math: 34
Reading: 29-32
Science: 31-35
Composite: 32-34</p>
<p>^^That basically described my experience this go-round. I won’t even get a 33.</p>
<p>I had to guess on 37-39 on the science breifly glanced at 40 and got it. Does anyone remember the answer they selected for 37-39? I marked in the last choice (D or J) anybody remember that being the correct answer for any of those?</p>
<p>What were the two reasons for no on the lace and economy question?</p>
<p>It was like, “No, the author didn’t make much reference of the European economy” and something else. Ugh</p>
<p>I also remember running out of time on the science section, so I, too, skipped to the back and answered the last two, filled in the rest.</p>
<p>@akshayp29</p>
<p>The two reasons were 1. No the passage touched only briefly on the economic aspects of Lace and 2. The passage did not discuss economy of lace at all and only discussed the aesthetic aspects.</p>
<p>I said No for the first reason because the last paragraph touched briefly on the economic aspects of lace.</p>
<p>Do you guys remember the question (in the lace passage) where it asked if you should move the first paragraph (it talked about making lace…).
—I didn’t move it. Did you guys??</p>
