<p>when i did th tower problem sciencefrenchie’s way i got 21.8 but i dunno if thats right</p>
<p>you don’t marvel something, you marvel AT something. Thus, I put no change.</p>
<p>did anyone else feel like there were two science problems that you had to know the actual science behind it. One was about alleles and the other was about cellular respiration</p>
<p>I also put “emerging”</p>
<p>I actually learned the theorem for the problem in geometry last year and I can’t believe i remembered it on the test. If you take 1/height of tower 1 PLUS 1/height of tower 2 then you get 1/height of intersection. So, 1/30+1/80 = 1/height of intersection, which is 22.</p>
<p>For the 2 science questions where you needed actual knowledge, I put “cellular respiration” and “genes”, respectively.</p>
<p>On English, was it “conceptualize the establishment”, “realized”, or no change?</p>
<p>same here deposition. I remember on that gene questions somewhere in the passage it said genotype behind whatever word the question was asking about so i chose genes</p>
<p>same… 1234 thanks for that explanation i had no idea about that theorem</p>
<p>Ha I never learned that in geometry, but thank you calculus for teaching me how to use my calculator!</p>
<p>Yeah, I got 21.8 too but all of the answers were integers - so 22.</p>
<p>I think the alleles one you had to know the actual science. Granted, they did say alleles and talk about mutations, but I know what you’re saying.</p>
<p>I didn’t read any of the passage for the cellular respiration one, so I can’t say.</p>
<p>Also - there was one about heat being produced from two currents or something on the one with resistance - I remember not being able to find the answer anywhere.</p>
<p>I remember the heat one. I assumed if heat was being produced than the resister wasn’t as effective because a current was passing. That’s how i looked at it but that could be wrong.</p>
<p>Do you remember what your answer was? (I think the question was something like there are 2 resistors for a certain current and you had to pick which one would give off the most heat)</p>
<p>how did you do the one to get 22 other than that theorem</p>
<p>Alright, for all of you not sure about the mathematics question with 2 right triangles and the height of their hypotenuse’s intersection then I’ll show you the easiest way to tackle it.</p>
<p>Well… It isn’t really a way to tackle it, more of a formula you learn because the whole thing is just a proportion. </p>
<p>Pretend A is the height of 1 of the triangles, and B is the height of the other triangle. The answer to the question is solved for by doing:</p>
<p>(A*B)/(A+B)</p>
<p>which yields 21.8; which rounds up to 22.</p>
<p>does anybody think you will be able to get 1 wrong on math and still get a 36?</p>
<p>sciencifrenchie: I don’t remember my answer just what was going through my mind when i answered it. I was surprised that there were a few that called for outside knowledge. Even though they weren’t hard I’d prefer ACT science to stick to what’s given. [i always do the worst on that section 
]</p>
<p>On English, did anyone put “conceptualize the establishment”? My second choice would have been “realized”.</p>
<p>giants22 - I think that’s unlikely. Doesn’t the ACT have a (more or less) predetermined “curve”? (I use that term loosely, it’s not much of a curve once you get into the 30’s)</p>
<p>canderson11 - Don’t worry about it. 
Yeah, I’ve never taken a practice test that called for outside knowledge. I’m not liking it very much either.</p>
<p>I put realized - I felt like everything else was a bit too wordy.</p>
<p>Giants22: Yes, there is a chance that missing one will still yield you a 36. It has happened before. It all depends on the curve of the test.
Deposition: I think I put “conceptualize the establisment”, but I don’t recall exactly. If I didn’t choose “conceptualize the establishment”, I think I put No Change.</p>
