That Math Section was Beast

<p>Now, I've always thought I was a good math student. I usually get 90s in class, and for Math 2c I got an 800. On all the practice tests I took, I always finished the math section with 5-10 minutes left, usually getting 0-1 wrong. Today, however, was the first time I ever not only took the entire 35 minutes, I also had to guess on 2-3! I'm really worried right now because I thought the other sections were ridiculously easy (the bats reading passage I finished in 5 minutes) Someone tell me that they thought math was hard too! Also I heard the April curve was real generous... anyone think that'll hold true for this one as well?</p>

<p>I agree wholeheartedly.</p>

<p>I finish with 3-4 mistakes with a solid 5-10 minutes to go back and check my answers, but that was insane. It wasn't so much that I didn't know the answers as the answers were so time consuming to find.</p>

<p>I had to guess on 7 of them because I ran out of time. I cried a little bit on the inside.</p>

<p>yeah about that math section .. i didnt even get to the last 6 .. i always have 5 - 10 minutes when i do practice tests but when i got there today i was like holy crap this is hard .. the last problems were SOO long to read and comprehend at the same time . the one about the garden with the rose bushes or whatever was hard .. also the science section got challenging too i thought</p>

<p>is this the ACT ya'll are talking about??</p>

<p>Yeah I agree about the math section, although I finished and thoughtfully answered every question. Some of them were pretty hard, but from what I'm reading, it looks like I did really well.</p>

<p>I just took my merry sweet time double checking answers and stuff in the beginning and I was like "tra-la-la-la... oh, 15 minutes and 15 questions left? Oh yea, I'll be fine, just gotta focus a bit.... oh, 10 minutes and 12 questions left? No problem..... OMFG 5 MINUTES 7 QUESTIONS AHHHHHHHH!"</p>

<p>what was the log(a-1) etc one!?!?
i had NO idea how to do that...
please please be c...= =</p>

<p>dood that match section killed my hopes and dreams about life.... :( you think theyre gonna put a safe curve on it?</p>

<p>I put A for that log question...not sure
:(
wat the fudge was it asking for?</p>

<p>the solution (A) from the log equation also satisfies which equation</p>

I know why, it was a 60 min section and you finished in 35....</p>

<p>OMG IM SO EXCITED I PUT A on the log question..</p>

<p>sorry for the caps i'm really excited i studied very hard for the act lol</p>

<p>whats the usual curve on the math section? What score are we looking at if we missed 5~</p>

<p>@ iambored: 32 - 33</p>

<p>I mean yeah I thought it was kinda hard but I pulled through quite easily in the end. The question about basketball, track and field, and football players was like the only one I could not solve, otherwise I thought I got most of the others right, maybe 1-2 careless mistakes but I doubt it.</p>

<p>rahoul- i think i got like 57 or something for that one... i took 80 whatever and just subtracted all of those numbers after that... don't know if it was right, but it sort of made sense.</p>

<p>I got 55. I think that was the only answer in the 50s, Jckund so I think we're right about that one! yay</p>

<p>i thought it was 73...</p>

<p>You had to add everything up, subtract 2 for each triple entered player, then one for each double entered player.</p>

<p>So the answer would be????</p>
