<p>i said the last choice…i remember actually factoring it out…but im always wrong</p>
<p>hardworker…i think i said the same thing as you
on a complete guess though…</p>
<p>Hmm… I thought:
English- easy
Math- easier than any practice test I’ve taken
Reading- hard (I did like the music one, which is odd, I usually hate humanities)
Science- so-so…</p>
<p>But I’m a first time-er so I expect this will be the first in a series xD</p>
<p>any one who got that right and didnt just guess deserves a prize</p>
<p>That’s funny, I took the third practice test in the Real ACT book last night and only missed 5 questions on the math section, and I think I probably missed 8 today. So I definitely don’t think it was easier than any practice test!</p>
<p>what question rocket louise?</p>
<p>the factoring question like 4c^2-4cd-d^2</p>
<p>what choice was 39 on the theater filling with seats question?</p>
<p>It was A, I believe.</p>
<p>Alright, thanks.</p>
<p>^Was 39 the correct answer? I hope so; that’s what I put.</p>
<p>The factoring I put (2c-d), since I just factored the quadratic and ignored the outside term. I think it might be wrong though… sigh.</p>
<p>The factoring one was easy as the first two choices were obviously wrong. For the last two choices, the very large ones, you HAD to multiply them together to get -a^2. However, that yeilded an incorrect answer to what was originally provided. Hence, it was (2c-d). And the auditorium seats one was A) 39</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the 39. How did you try to solve that problem?</p>
<p>^You just made my day that much better :P</p>
<p>well first post but good way to start? </p>
<p>gah i took it today first time with taking not even a whole practice test last night…but i think i did okay.</p>
<p>questions though… :)</p>
<p>math:
i got 39 for that theatre seat one and i think the choice was a. you had to subtract 134 from 4095 to get it.
i completly guessed on the factor and photo one but i think i got the (2c-d) answer and d or c or whichever was the one with just the 1/2 inch missing at the top.</p>
<p>science:
on the bird question it was definitely 9/16 because the probability of each choice was 3/4and 3/4 * 3/4=9/16.</p>
<p>in the last science passage did anyone else get really confused on the question about whether or not that scientist was right about adding the filter tube thing?? i was completely overthinking it and i think i ended up putting b which was like no because the 2nd experiment was less???</p>
<p>english:
to whoever asked earlier for that english one with the too with weird commas i think i put whichever choice was ___,too, since it had to be too and there had to be commas…</p>
<p>also with the millwrights passage for the thoughts i also put just enrique because the author didn’t explicitly state tobias’ thoughts…
and then the one about interjecting the story i put humor since there wasn’t actual unequal treatment it was more teasing…</p>
<p>overall i thought reading was incredibly easy except for those 2 questions.
english pretty easy but you had to be careful.
math and science were ok but really quick i barely had time to check them all. :(</p>
<p>(4d^2 + 4dc + c^2) can be factored to (2d-c)^2.</p>
<p>So you have (2d-c)^2 - a^2, which is just like a similar x^2 - y^2, where the factors are (x+y)(x-y). So I put (2d-c-a) or (2d-c+a), whichever one there was because there was only one of those.</p>
<p>Does any one remember what they got for the trig problem with the boats and the compass?</p>
<p>And I thought the prose passage was only about Enrique’s thoughts, and the bird one was 9/16.</p>
<p>the factor one was 2c-d+a - you had to unfoil it twice, the other factor was 2c-d-a</p>
<p>i said that the narrator was 3rd person limited because it never gave any of Tobias’s actual thoughts, and the majority was Enrique’s reminiscing</p>
<p>i also said that the prank was about comedy and the workers felt pity for the apprentices, but not so sure about these</p>
<p>and the auditorium seats one was 39 (i added 100 to 101 to 102 etc. in my calculator) :-)</p>
<p>I am very sure that they were indifferent to their needs, not pitiful of their incompetence, although incompetence threw me off for a while. The prank was to underscore the difference in their status; the whole passage revolved around that concept.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Did you seriously? That must have taken forever…</p>
<p>^ I don’t remember third-person limited being a choice.</p>
