<p>@Nightlock so in the case of a typo like that, would the ACT throw out that question? I’m pretty sure I ended up just putting “the garden plants” but I was thrown off by that question pretty hard, wondering if I was missing something.</p>
<p>Is anyone a Grammar Nazi? Who knows about a thing called “split infinitives”? They are a big no-no in the English language. That was the issue with the first English question (“to be prominently featured”) and why I say that the correct answer is “to be featured prominently”. Does anyone know what I’m talking about?</p>
<p>@HalfWaterHalfAir: If it was a typo, yes they would definitely just throw it out. But we are definitely safe as well since I took around 5 minutes on that one and rest assured, “the garden plants” was by far the best answer (even if incorrect). :D.</p>
<p>Was that one question about Yellowstone breadth or depth? I put breadth.</p>
<p>@dirtymike Split infiinitives are typically ok in standardized testing, to my knowledge.</p>
<p>@NIGHTLOCK hoping a faulty question will make the English curve slightly better-they do occasionally throw out a whole question.</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>@EtlnArcadiaEgo: Yes, I’ve heard of that happening before. A better curve couldn’t hurt :D.</p>
<p>it’s common to throw out questions because if most people get them wrong they aren’t gonna keep it</p>
<p>do you guys remember the other choices for the first question? was it about the bell?</p>
<p>ACT and SAT does not throw out questions unless there is an error, it doesn’t matter how many ppl miss it</p>
<p>@CraigBurke21: It was A, no change. The rest of the choices all had grammatical errors.</p>
<p>do you remember at least one of them? sorry i’m just trying to remember if I put that. Long test :P</p>
<p>also, i got (20,40) for that one math question with the line of 20sqrt5. It gave you the length of part of it and you had to do pythagorean theorem to check the answer.</p>
<p>did any get B for the last science?</p>
<p>Last question for science, I thought, was easier than a lot of the rest lol. It was 2/(three number all multiplied here)
@Craig: For the (20,40), I did the exact same thing. </p>
<p>Any questions on the soils one? One answer was def 62. </p>
<p>they tell you that they don’t but i find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that they don’t throw out questions, especially on sat 2s and the act. by throwing out questions, college board and the act company can make the test more fair</p>
<p>What did you guys think about the Reading section?
I thought the questions were pretty difficult…
do any of you rmb any of the questions for reading by any chance?</p>
<p>What was the other reading passage. There was one about the girls. One about the paintings. One about Yellowstone. And…</p>
<p>It was about coffee shops in England. I actually found that passage interesting, haha </p>
