<p>What did you guys think about the April 24th ACT?</p>
<p>I myself thought it was pretty easy, with english and math being the easiest. Reading and science were a little bit harder, but I answered almost everything with confidence.</p>
<p>Some of the reading seemed a little time consuming. It was more or less easy for me but some of the questions were quite strange and hung me up: Houdini’s nickname quotation punctuation, Houdini’s “reward?”, 5 lines in a shape, Mesh bag, etc…</p>
<p>For Houdini, I put reward. 5 lines I put circle. Mesh bag I put allows exchange of air/water.</p>
<p>The 5 lines was 100% circle, I don’t remember the reward question. The nickname quotation was a sly question, however, the day before I had read the entire Barron’s ACT 36 book on English ( 80 pages of cramming lmao) and it said that the ACT will never test you on quote quotation rules, so I looked back down and realized that the punctation didn’t have anything to do with the quote at all. Basically there was a comma that was needed inside of it because it was used as a clarification. For example.</p>
<p>Ted’s nickname, Teddy, bla bla bla.</p>
<p>IMO the Houdini one read, Houdini’s nickname, “Whatever,” bla bla. I think my analysis is correct.</p>
<p>I put water and air for the mesh as well.</p>
<p>Mesh bag was definitely air/water because that would allow for decay</p>
<p>The one question that has been killing me is from the English. It went something along the lines of: </p>
<p>"The meteor shower is less visible now than it is used to be. _________ observer can still see it on certain nights. </p>
<p>Which does NOT make sense: “Moreover, an” or "An "
(I eliminated the other 2 answers right away)
I have a feeling my choice was wrong, but I’ll wait for your comments before revealing it.</p>
<p>Moreover doesn’t make sense IMO.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree now, but when I was taking the test the exact wording made just “an observer” sound so awkward without a transition.</p>
<p>Did the test really say which is the least acceptable? Damn, I might have misread the question.</p>
<p>Yeah That’s why i picked “An.” Man the english and the math were the hardest</p>
<p>Does anyone know the answer to the regression slope problem on the math?
The only other hard one was the 5 point problem. I got circle for that.</p>
<p>You mean number 57 which asks what the line represents?</p>
<p>It asked something like what the slope represents.</p>
<p>I put whatever was the Y-axis over the X-axis for 1 movie. Was the Y-axis number of screens or was it money earned. Btw I feel like that chart of 10 movies was meant to distract people with all of the relevant movie titles.</p>
<p>I just put the money earned over the number of screens, the wording just confused me. I think I picked the first answer choice?</p>
<p>I put C, but two people I asked put A’s like you as well. I think I missed it but I’m not sure why. The answers were super weird because some of them included “number of movies” which I assumed was synonymous with screens.</p>
<p>I thought C was the Y axis per number of movies TOTAL which I’m not sure why that could be wrong. One movie is incorrect IMO because a regression represents the best fit of multiple sets of data. In this care ~10 movies.</p>
<p>@ garmeth</p>
<p>That question tripped me up too. However, it couldn’t have been total since the graph only went to small Y values and X values - small meaning a little above each of the individual movies (Nowhere close to the total values). Also, each data point represents the number of screenings and the money earned. Therefore, the line of best fit’s slope would also be on an individual basis.</p>
<p>I’m confused xD. Elaborate more please on the small Y and X values.</p>
<p>I misread the graph wrong possibly.</p>
<p>I see what you’re saying now, however, I interpreted it as the line of best fit is the resulting function of the TOTAL, it didn’t represent any of the movies individually but it was the culmination of the total which is why I don’t agree with it representing one.</p>
<p>Sure, no problem. I don’t remember the exact values, but here’s an example. </p>
<p>CHART</p>
<p>Movie Money Earned Screenings</p>
<h1>1 $3,000,000 32,000</h1>
<h1>2 $5,000,000 51,000</h1>
<h1>3 $4,000,000 45,000</h1>
<p>Total $12,000,000 128,000</p>
<p>Using this example, the graph’s y axis (Money Earned) on the test only went to 6,000,000. The x axis (Number of screenings) only went to about 60,000. Therefore, the graph represented individual points, not the totals. </p>
<p>If you still don’t understand, lemme know. It’s kind of confusing.</p>
<p>EDIT:</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure each point on the graph was an individual movie. I see where you are coming from though.</p>
<p>I thought of the movie question the same way as Theo; the x and y values aren’t large enough to incorporate total values, so it must be individual data points.</p>
