Ok.. So for the people that are wondering when you get your scores... Most people can see them online in 2 weeks. If you registered online you have an ACT account and, all you have to do is long on to it. If you requested a mailed score report it takes anywhere from 3-8 weeks. Hope this helps..

The weakened hypothesis one was a poorly worded question. I'm pretty sure it was D. The second part of the answer was stating the part of Scientist 3's hypothesis that was proven incorrect, it wasn't saying that the second part of the answer was true. It is the only answer choice that makes sense, because Hypothesis 1 had nothing to do with humans, and for answer C if the humans came 10,000 years before then the creatures couldn't have died before that. It must be assumed that the second part of the answer is explaining the portion of the hypothesis that makes it incorrect.

The passages were (Not necessarily in order):

Scientists on extinction
Genes
Rain fall
Projectile-thing
X-ray

The other two were..... Um....

Can't remember as of now...

Was there one about soil composition? or something similar to that?
Gah.

By projectile thing do you mean the rail gun thing? I have no idea what the other one is though.

I think one might have had to do with clay in the soil? I took a practice test a couple days beforehand in science so I might be getting them mixed up.

I know for sure there was one with chemicals and melting points, and there was different chemicals that were dissolved in them, and you had to figure out if they made the melting points higher or lower.

@ajcaras2013 ahh i recalled that. its several liquid chemicals solubility graph with different solids (X, Y, and Z) dissolved in it. But just remember one question is asking about slopes (X has greatest slope, Z has smallest slope.)

I think that might've been from an older test/red book test... Or they reused a passage?

Ah, yes. My mind is scrambled right now, and I got mixed up with the practice test I did the night before!

It's been almost a week since the test, but does anyone remember the questions to the xray passage (not the answers)?

What was the percent absorbed by Ray ___ in x (whatever the variable of x-axis was) = 1.0

How much energy was transmitted in x ("")

Which had the lowest amount of energy absorbed in x ("")

Two others I cannot remember for now.

What do you think the curve will be for science? I think that the first 4 were okay but the last two were pretty hard.
