The Official February 10th ACT Thread

<p>i was looking over the posts and was questioning the one that you had to find the amount of 4 digit codes. if (10)(10)(10)(10)-1 was an option..i definitely put that. (puttin some AP stats to use here) in a 4 digit code, the first number could be 0-9 (10 digits), the second could be 0-9, and same for the 3rd and 4th. therefore, it would have to be 10^4, and then subtract 1 for the birth year</p>

<p>just trying to compile some more answers here..in the scientist arguing section of science-the object would have been visible if it was a star. a given hypothesis would have contradicted scientist 3...sound familiar? anyone else remember these. i know there was also a question regarding the high velocity stars..i wish my memory was better</p>

<p>On the Venn diagram question, one circle was within the other, and the number in the smaller circle was 13, if I remember correctly. No clue which answer choice that was.</p>

<p>I vaguely remember those science questions, jonoam. Those answers seem familiar to me.</p>

<p>if one circle was inside the other circle woudlnt that mean that all he scored 27 in all the wins or vice versa? i dont think that was the case..maybe i read it wrong</p>

<p>I don't remember the actual question, so I'm not sure anymore</p>

<p>I still the rope question was about weight. They added water so it was heavy, not so it was hard. A good jumprope is not: light.</p>

<p>For the venn diagram, I believe the correct choice was the two that intersected in the middle, not one circle inside of the other.</p>

<p>I bombed the math as usual, but I thought the science was really easy, as were the english and reading.</p>

<p>Can we really talk about specific questions? That seems awfully like breaking the rules of the test.</p>

<p>in the math, the 3 statement questions was about integers. Since all negative whole numbers, 0, and all positive whole numbers are integers, wasnt the answer I, II, III?</p>

<p>I put I, II, III.</p>

<p>technically..probably not. but this is a discussion between people who took the test and its not like we can go back to change the answers. i know the act people dont want people discussing the test, but i dont see any harm being done right now.
zdub, i was going pretty quick through that question. i remember that they liked the telephone cable the best because it was long, sturdy, and light. from the passage, it seemed that the telephone cable was the preferred rope. i see the point ur making with the weight issue, but they couldnt make the telephone cable any heavier. to me, it sounded like they were annoyed with soft ropes because they had to keep them watered down. im really startin to see what you're saying, why else would they water down the soft rope? but we have to keep in mind, the girls in the passage were young and just wanted to jump rope. i think that from the girls point of view, a light, sturdy, and long telephone cable would be preferred over a soft rope they had to continually keep wet</p>

<p>well i got that one wrong. darn it</p>

<p>I thought she said the telephone cable was heavy. I'm pretty sure I remember that, and just compare cloth to a telephone line in your head.</p>

<p>Well, whatever it is, I can't change it now :)</p>

<p>ok....
Ven Diagram, I put bottom right. It was one circle on left and one on right with intersection in middle.</p>

<p>Jump rope, I put soft...seems nobody knows that answer though.</p>

<p>I, II, III...I put II for one of them I think. Not sure if this was the one I put that for though.</p>

<p>jlamp208-
I put soft as well.</p>

<p>On the math I II III question, I put I, II, and III.
On the science I II III question, I put II only.</p>

<p>Do you remember either of the questions, specifically the math one?</p>

<p>what was the one that said something like the gravitational forces and something about scientist 3 .
the answer choices went something like "larger than the mass of the sun" and "smaller than the mass of the sun" and "equal to the mass of the sun" etc.</p>

<p>for the jump rope, i originally didnt put soft, but i had i minute at the end to go back and check b/c i had to hurry through that passage and i reread the paragraph and found it was soft. Also do you guys think there will be a good scoring curve? or a hard one where 4 wrong in science is a 29.</p>

<p>i know ur lookin for the math one. but the science I, II, III question asked where the power came from. the three choices were resistor, ca____ (forget what its called) and copper wire. from previous knowledge and info given in the experiments. you know that power can only come from the second one. answer was "only II"</p>

<p>for the math, there was a trig question where it gave a triangle that wasnt a right triangle, and gave one side of 15 units long. I didnt know how to calculate the side it asked for b/c it wasnt right, so i measured the length with my pencil and it was the same length as the 15 side. I calculated all of the values of the answers, and there were a couple that were around 20, and one that was 14ish. i put the 14ish. did i get lucky?</p>

<p>this was my first ACT (and i took it on my 17th birthday, what fun) but i took a lot of practice tests and some of my sisters old tests in preparation. i didnt think the science was the hardest ive ever taken, but it was probably a little harder than average..in my opinion at least</p>
