<p>man…the reading this time was totally a killer! I didn’t finish like half of one of the passage! Much harder than June one…I think i screwed up…</p>

<p>Math was super easy this time for some reason…except for the last one…I had 30 secs left and guessed. But the rest were pretty straight forward. No trick questions at all!</p>

<p>English I thought was normal…grammar was never my strongest subject…</p>

<p>Science was Ok, the biology article about the genes and stuff killed me, completely did not understand it…Biology was my worst subject for a reason…-__- But the rest of them were pretty easy. I thought I was going to run out of time, but the last few science articles were easier than I expected.</p>

82

<p>why does the ACT have to be such a freaking time crunch? Why can’t they just measure what you DO know rather than how fast you can spit out what you know?</p>

83

<p>i thought math was evil, english was SUPER easy, reading was pretty easy, and science was pretty easy. i hated math. UGHHH</p>

84

<p>has -3 or -4 math ever been a 35?</p>

85

<p>@ centralFC, I thought the initial was 24 and delta T was 6.1 in the chart</p>

86

<p>@jacobo2880</p>

<p>I completely did not get the flower thing at all…I hate biology…</p>

87

<p>Roots was not the fabulous flaw, it was the golden color. The whole passage was about how that one tree had golden needles, while all the others had green needles. And it mentioned that the fabulous flaw was “hidden”, and the previous sentence said that the needles were green when it first started growing.</p>

88

<p>delta t is 6, so 24-6= 18 (it was actually 17.9 tho…)</p>

89

<p>^i agree! which is why the answer is like 30.1 or the last choice… right?</p>

90

<p>I’m pretty sure initial was 24 and delta t was 6.1…</p>

91

<p>i got 17.9 on the very last one</p>

92

<p>It was 30.1.</p>

93

<p>@jd989898 34 english, 35 math, 32 reading, 31 science, 33 writing, 33 composite</p>

<p>i think i got -0 english, -0 math, -4/5 reading, -5/6 science </p>

<p>ANY GUESSES AS TO MY SCORE?</p>

94

<p>@marinebio i put golden needles too</p>

95

<p>oh crap, I think I missed the hidden flaw one. I put the small size of the sapling because it said the roots were extending deep into the ground unseen or something along those lines</p>

96

<p>24 was the final temperature, therefore it was 17.9. I remember this vividly because I got done early and looked at the options on that one in particular. I saw 30.1 and then rechecked my information to confirm my original answer.</p>

97

<p>Yeah, it was definitely golden needles.</p>

98

<p>x - 6.1 = 24. 30.1 = x. simple algebra</p>

99

<p>I may have bombed the stupid flower genetics section, but i’m nearly POSITIVE the last science one was 17.9</p>

100

<p>Because it’s not a test of achievement; it’s a test of aptitude. I hate it too, but the ACT and SAT are <em>meant</em> to be intelligence tests, showing how “smart” you are as opposed to how much you can study. That is complete BS though because ACT and SAT both do not understand a lot of grammar concepts, and the reading is often subjective. Science is just crazy, especially today, when you basically had to know about how alleles worked.</p>
