<p>The dog walker was not in the passage for the reading, but there was a question on what the author would think of the dog walker, i think it was the last question</p>
<p>Ahhh I vaguely remember the prose fiction passage. I knew I was going to **** that up since i’ve averaged just a little over half right on those in my practice tests, so I was just full steam ahead onto the rest haha…surprisingly I finished in time </p>
<p>but i’m pretty sure I put arbitrary anyway</p>
<p>Usually the prose fiction is my best, I felt like it wasn’t anything like the practice tests (asking for tone or what the author would do). I had to quickly skim the 2nd passage because I started it at 10min. Finished on time though!</p>
<p>Oddly enough I finished with a minute to spare, and went back to q. 20 on women’s rights to decide on that question…luckily I didn’t change my answer, based off what you guys say I was right I hope. </p>
<p>usually social science/natural science I dont have to reference the passage for every q. cause some of them are common sense. more questions right, more time saved. win-win situation on those!</p>
<p>but seriously, do you think ACT graders can overlook a 2 paragraph essay for awesome support and vocab.? the organization was truly crappy…intro. was strong with a hook, extended bridge, thesis. but my second paragraph I just threw all my evidence in there…and fittingly restated thesis at end to top it off. mediocre essay structure at best : /</p>

<p>^^^^
The prose fiction was a lot different from my practice also! I was not expecting those questions at all!</p>
<p>What question(s) did you guys have “arbitrary” as the answer?</p>
<p>I dont remember ever putting it</p>
<p>What are your strategies for the ACT reading?</p>
<p>This was my first time taking it but so I didn’t know what to expect so the first passage I read the entire thing quickly and then tried answering all the questions but I ended up having to re-read every paragraph for details so the last 3 passages I’d read 1 paragraph at a time and then look at the questions to see if there were any I could answer, then continue reading.</p>
<p>For the reading section, I’ve heard everything from underlining key points, to not answering the questions in order, to answering them in order, oh wait answer the reference to line questions first. So many strategies but I just suggest reading the passages while keeping a mental picture in your head of what is happening.</p>
<p>Also, I put useful to the person - not arbitrary for one of the questions</p>
<p>Mabs, I put the same (useful).</p>
<p>which question are you talking about alihaq717</p>
<p>I’m talking about the question that said “The Dog-Walker divided the dog groups into two categories: this and that (I can’t remember what they were, something about the behavior of the dogs)”. What would the author of the passage say about that classification?</p>
<p>I put useful because in the passage the author had used shellfish and one more thing as an example of how classification can be useful to the conventional user. The passage also said classification could be arbitrary, but he used examples that described “exterior” things like the amount of legs something has, etc. not innate things like how something acts.</p>
<p>ohh yea the awsner to that question was arbitrary because the other awnsers were like its objective which it definantly wasnt.</p>
<p>One of the choices was “useful to the dog-walker” or something along those lines.</p>
<p>I disagree that the answer to the dog-walker question was “arbitrary,” etc. The passage mostly identified the ways classification systems can be arbitrary to large groups of people / biologists but still relevant and useful to an individual. The whole point about the chef analogy was that a chef’s classification of food based on texture, etc. may be arbitrary but still useful to him. Thus I put the answer as practical and useful to the dog-walker.</p>

<p>@ali and photo</p>
<p>Did you have “arbitrary” as an answer to any of the questions?</p>
<p>I recall putting “arbitrary” as an answer to one of the questions on the Reading section. Definitely not for the Dog-Walker one though.</p>

<p>Did u get that the main purpose of the passage was to talk about meeting Hank?</p>
