<p>It was 22. There are multiple explanations if you go to the first few pages of this thread.</p>
<p>the answer was 22. we solved it out</p>
<p>How could the transversal be negative? Weren’t they asking for an angle? </p>
<p>The math section on this ACT seemed a bit more reasoning based then it normally is. Or maybe a bit more like they were trying to trick the test taker and make sure he/she read every detail. The last book question seemed a little bit cheap, as they gave you something like the number of hardcovers purchased, not the soft-covers, and then you had to add the number of hardcovers purchased with the ratio of soft-covers and add them together and add then add them to total number of books. That isn’t really that hard of math, just purposely confusing text, which usually the act doesn’t do on the math section.</p>
<p>I sort of agree. there were a few extra that had you use logic more than ACT usually tests</p>
<p>I got 42 too. Number 2 was a little difficult b/c it required longer thinking. What was the answer to the one where you had to find the MPH if the dude started at 10:00AM and finished at 2:00AM? I just divided</p>
<p>I forgot what number they gave you but i almost freaked out because I thought the time distance was 4 hours instead of 16 and thought, How great I’m screwed on the math and we just started. You just divided that number by the number of hours</p>
<p>720/16, right? I can’t remember what that came out to be, but that’s what I did… I remember having to count the number of hours on my fingers for that one. Twice, because I was so freaked out.</p>
<p>yea it was some number in the 700’s divided by 16.</p>
<p>Yeah, I think the answer was 45 mph which seems to make sense with the 700s/16</p>
<p>Just to throw in another topic if it were on anyone else’s mind, did anyone have any problems with the reading section?</p>
<p>Reading - on the passage with the girl who loved language or whatever - did anyone else put that the dad was adept in both arabic and english, and knew english well because of his hard work at it or something along those lines? (Choice B - There was another answer choice that was similar, D, that I was considering).</p>
<p>I did canderson11. I got a 33 on the Dec. Reading test but I ran out of time on this one because of the fiction passage. I’d be lucky to get a 30</p>
<p>it said he was adept in english because of practice and stuff. i chose that one also. that question really threw me off for a moment</p>
<p>Reading seemed pretty straight forward. Hardest question that I can remember was something about if a winged animal has a higher “something” (I can’t remember what the term was) and the answer was lower maneuverability. Or whatever it was, I think the relationship was opposite.</p>
<p>user- windloading. I had chose higher maneuberability. i saw it in the same sentence with the word. maybe i didn’t read it thoroughly. hmm</p>
<p>The second hardest question was the adept one, but that seemed to make sense with the tone of the passage when compared to the “because he didn’t get a chance to speak Arabic much” choice.</p>
<p>I find it interesting that people get tripped up on the fiction passage. I find it to be the easiest. I guess it’s because i just like fiction</p>
<p>canderson - I think I said the higher the windloading, the less manuverability.</p>
<p>Was the fiction passage the picnic one? Oh, on the picnic one - one of the first questions was something along the lines of “What was the family concerned about more than the Falls people?” I answered the mountain weather, but I’m not sure.</p>
<p>If an old style of writing with slang from the 1800s is used fiction can be confusing. Fiction can also be confusing if the passage does not have a linear timeline. But when it is straightforward, it is usually pretty simple as their is less data to look back to the passage for compared to the other passages.</p>
<p>I could have tripped up on that windloading question. I also but mountain weather. It was in the passage</p>
