ACT October 26 FORM 73A READING Discussion

<p>@Nspire
The passage stated that the plants were slimy and covered with algae, but it was stated that their movement is what gives them their name.</p>

<p>Guys was one of the answers to the eel passage algae?</p>

<p>Might be thinking about a different question. I thought there was one that asked about why animals wouldn’t eat it or something… or I could be hallucinating, which is entirely possible.</p>

<p>@proflamel - Same here!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yep. I think the answer to that one was cellulose.</p>

<p>I couldn’t find cellulose in the passage. Probably overlooked it… </p>

<p>Blasted reading test.</p>

<p>I’m pretty confident the answer was cellulose as stated in the passage.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Right side, somewhere around the second to last paragraph? IIRC that’s where it was. I assumed cellulose but skimmed to confirm.</p>

<p>Reading wasn’t really too bad this time. Of course now that I’ve said that I’ll probably end up with a horrible score… Heh.</p>

<p>For the question asking why animals wouldn’t eat it I also marked the answer mentioning high cellulose content. I saw that in either the last or second to last paragraph.</p>

<p>Gotcha. Well, there’s one wrong for sure. Whoop whoop.</p>

<p>How did the twins “separate”? I’m sure the answer was clearly in the passage, but I guessed and put that they went off into high school. Probably got it wrong though.</p>

<p>Why did they include the section about them both wearing the same clothes from the boys department store? Don’t remember what I put for this.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the answer to the one where some of the choices were pessimistic, sly and confident, ect.? I had no clue on this one. The entire passage irked me…</p>

<p>On the Ford one… I put something about him being matter of fact and self-assured? Anyone remember if this was the answer?</p>

<p>It said they “separated” once Ben or whoever went to high school. I located that directly in the text, so I’m pretty sure that answer is correct.</p>

<p>I remember the sly and confident one, but I’d have to see the other answer choices… haha.</p>

<p>Ford one, I put “matter of fact and self-assured” as well.</p>

<p>The twins passage was actually terribly written and unbelievably boring (as with most black literature). By far the worst passage I’ve read on the ACT/SAT.</p>

<p>I bet the curve will be really good for the reading.</p>

<p>What was the other twin’s name? i am trying to find the passage for you! does anyone remember the title?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>High school.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Pessimistic - remember the paragraph where he talks about putting the world under a magnifying glass?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I picked the same. The others just didn’t fit.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It was horribly confusing in parts.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I can’t find it anywhere online.</p>

<p>Nspire, should the glitch still work?</p>

<p>The twin was definitely pessimistic, but was he irritable?</p>

<p>@jtn8723: Completely unsure at this point. The glitch itself is fine (meaning you could put in any of your old tests and the .PDF will still be generated). But the issue is this: last time they were “locked” more or less. I believe they were uploaded onto the server like normal, but the test id’s didn’t seem to be active for whatever reason - meaning the id’s weren’t able to generate a token to view the .PDF until they enabled the id’s at midnight.</p>

<p>Not sure if it was a fluke or what. I took it at a different center this time with much, much fewer students. Hoping they send them in right away since my other center was ungodly slow.</p>

<p>Time will tell! :p</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they only locked the writing tests</p>
