State-Require March ACT 2011

<p>I have a question. On the essay, time ran out as i was writing my last sentence, so the sentence just stops abruptly. Will this harm m score considerably?</p>

<p>@soruli The readers understand that you only have 30 min to write an essay so it shouldn’t</p>

<p>Also, does anyone remember what they put for the last question on the science? It was the fighting scientests and it had the diagram thing…</p>

<p>I put B. That was one of only two choices where the very first gene was non-resistant (as it had to be, since it was talking about Hypothesis 1). As opposed to A, B showed that the resistant trait could be acquired at various points/generations, which agreed with Hypothesis 1. Hypothesis 2 said that the development of such a trait was very rare, which is what diagram A showed (only one branch had the resistant trait, symbolized by a solid circle).</p>

<p>referring to this: <a href=“http://dl.dropbox.com/u/457347/act%20math%20problem.jpg[/url]”>http://dl.dropbox.com/u/457347/act%20math%20problem.jpg&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>you put it in a coordinate system, using the bottom as the x axis and the left side as the y axis. Get the equations as y=2x, and y=-3/4x + 30. Solve, you get like 10.9. Put it into an original for the y value (height of intersection), and you get about 22, so that was the answer.</p>

<p>The hexagon one I can’t remember exactly but you found the 6 equilateral triangles it formed to have sides of 5, 6x5=30.</p>

<p>I believe I got a 36 on the math, didn’t guess on any. Had about 20 min left with those two questions above, and I got them eventually.</p>

<p>Also another question was the circle with the three angles and what they added up to, was 90. They covered a semicircle with their arcs, 180 degrees, then since they are half of their intercepted arcs, 90.</p>

<p>All other math was fairly simple, cept the area of the shaded region, I took a good guess and was fairly confident, and from the appearances here I got it right.</p>

<p>Reading was meh. Pretty easy, maybe aced it.</p>

<p>Science was blech. Hated the Mississippi river part. Ughh I got so lost and mad haha. Guessed a decent amount but I think they were right. Idk last time I thought I did bad on science and got a 35, so that’s up for grabs on my part.</p>

<p>English, no idea. Personally did MUCH better than last time (29 ugh) so I’m hoping a 33, it’s always my weakest.</p>

<p>Estimations for me-
English- 33
Math- 36
Science- 35, Maybe 33
Reading- 35, maybe 36</p>

<p>Composite- estimated 34, possibly 33/35 as well. My last score was a 33.</p>

<p>Also the form was 68F, and essay 12U? I think. I guess about a 8-10 on the writing, always a meh but better this time than last (8).</p>

<p>Overall easy, I tend to do very well on math as my strong suite and that appears to be the difficult part for most here so I got lucky on this one. God I just wish we got scores earlier haha.</p>

<p>what was the shaded area one^?</p>

<p>Gah I can’t quite remember for the life of me. I know I found the area of the square, and dropped a perpendicular to find the triangle next to it and then added them</p>

<p>was it the one with answer 11.2?</p>

<p>Yeah I think so. I remember having an answer as 11.22222222 or something at one point. That was the one I was probably most unsure on. What were the possible answers, do you remember?</p>

<p>they were all between about 8 and 13, and a lot of people picked 12.8</p>

<p>Yeah I remember my answer was just closer to one than the other, I can’t remember which it was though. I’ll see if I do at some point today though</p>

<p>where are you guys from in MI?</p>

<p>Petoskey! What about you?</p>

<p>Jackson for me</p>

<p>Yeah the answer is 8 btw. It’s a trapezoid with medians, my calc teacher showed me :confused: lameee</p>

<p>Bloomfield Hills</p>

<p>The math was pretty tough on this one, at least for me. Since I already got a 32 and figured I got a 30 tops on the math, i decided to just chose A/F for every single answer in the reading. I felt like the science was really easy, possibly got a 36 on it.</p>

<p>@mtv22</p>

<p>I would be highly amused if you got a 32 or higher on the Math section. And an 8 on the Reading.</p>

<p>Did anyone else think that this Science section was the hardest they’d ever seen? I found myself guessing so much!</p>

<p>I’m thinking:
English: 35 (hopefully 36)
Math: 32/33
Reading: 29-31
Science: 26-30</p>

<p>Hopefully my composite is around a 32, though it’s not likely. :confused: In all actuality, I probably got a 31. At least it’s up from my 30 from sophomore year.</p>

<p>Also, does anyone know if we’ll be able to check our scores online??</p>

<p>LOL @ mtv</p>

<p>Yeah I hated science as well. I got math down, English and Reading I may have aced but those are always up for grabs on me, and science was a beech</p>

<p>I don’t think you can check online for this one :/</p>

<p>I thought the reading was easy overall, although I remember just ONE question i kind of struggled on, just because the answers given seemed so similar </p>

<p>not sure if anyone will recognize it by my description but it was with the passage about the kids learning english from their parents and the father spoke arabic. and i think it was the second or third question that asked like “what was the father’s main language?” (or something along those lines- I can’t remember for the life of me!) but I do know one of the answers was “His main language was arabic, but he enjoyed occasionally speaking english” and I know that wasn’t the right answer, that’s just the only one I remember. or maybe it is the right answer… ha but does anyone know what I’m talking about??? sorry this was so long hah</p>

<p>chandler22, I remember the question. I think the right answer was “he was proficient at both arabic and english, with careful practice” or something like that. thats what i put</p>
